JohnB Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This is another kit I started a while back but put back on the shelf awaiting "inspiration" LOL. So now I am ready to resume the build. It will be mostly OOB except for some Eduard PE cockpit details and FineMolds seat belts. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't lose interest again. Onward and upward as they say! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hey John, one thing I have discovered is that the very top deck will not reach the bulkhead ahead of it. Its an easy fix with strip. Mossie by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Funny coincidence isn't it! Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind. Which a/c are you doing? I have decided on the black underside w/bulged bomb bay PC*3. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Me too, I find that one the most interesting....esp with that water heater bomb! The worst on the sheet is the Russian one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I also would not try and pull flaps up etc, I ruined my wing try to make it that way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 This will be my second HK Mossie. I built the other kit with the under nacelle air scoops a couple of years ago. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Those flaps look great, I had an awful time with it! But nothing $140 and free shipping couldn't fix.....sigh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to check my build of Grim Reaper to see what I did with the flaps. Definitely down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Looking forward to your second build of this kit. I hear you on the burn out bit. I had that happen to me as well but on the Tamiya one. Shouldn't have tried building two of them at once. Carl 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have a Tamiya Mk VI ordered and intend to build it when done with this kit. Probably as a night intruder or a night fighter. I'll have to look around for any available night fighter conversions sets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 18, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 18, 2019 John, you jumping back in might persuade me to as well. I was in he middle of a BOAC Mossie, and contracted the dreaded PE burnout, so to the SOD it went as well. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Oh good, I have the Tamiya Mossie sitting here ready to go, perhaps I may borrow some courage to get started.........be great to see a new batch of Mossies ......... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This will be great, might be just what I need to crack on with my Tamiya Trainer conversion or my 24th Airfix one as well.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
