Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 9, 2020 Administrators Posted January 9, 2020 John, stunning work! Seriously. But I’m concerned just a bit. Have you finally lost your marbles, my friend? This thing will use enough space for at least two F4Us. Six with the wings folded! 4

LOL It IS big alright and I really don't know WHERE I'll put it when finished. Seems I have a strong affinity for Corsairs, especially the birdcage. I just bought another one to go with the others in my stash. 3

JohnB Posted January 20, 2020 Author Posted January 20, 2020 Status as of today. I'm considering putting this one aside for a bit (NOT SOD) as I'm a little burned out on it at the moment. I'll get back to it soon. 7

The Mossie is such an involved kit, even OOB. There's so much detail to it even though it all fits where it's supposed to. Almost too much. I burned out on mine as well. Took me almost a year to get around to finishing it. Which I'm glad I did. 3

It's coming along well but I need a break. Another Corsiar maybe! LOL 5
JohnB Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 Well heck! I'm "on the fence" here. Trying to get my arse in gear and MAKE A DECISION. Stay with the Mosquito or put it aside for a bit and start something else? 2
Bomber_County Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Why not finish that Tiger off and will be rejuvenated...................nice a bit of armour weathering didn’t do anyone any harm. .....must admit having had almost 18 months doing armour, it’s good to get back to things with wings........ 4

That's something I'm considering. For the moment I'm still working on the Mosquito. 3
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 John, your work up to now is lovely. Perhaps build a nice Hasegawa kit along with Ernie? With your skills you'll kill it. 2

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 23, 2020 Administrators Posted January 23, 2020 Looking good, John. I burned out even on my HK kit after awhile. There is SO muchinternal; stuff plus PE, I just got fried. But you made it much farther than I did, and I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished sometime in the future. 4

Yes Ernie, this kit has a LOT of stuff in it. A outstanding kit but very fiddly at times which tends to take away from the enjoyment. I'm glad I decided to stay with it but I will also be glad to get it finished. 5
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 24, 2020 Administrators Posted January 24, 2020 I’m not a member of the built Tamiya Mossie club yet, John, but one of these days... I expect to go OOB as well. I like mine closed up anyway, but I’ll learn from yours 5

I've built one, got one in the stash with a started Tse Tse scratch build conversion and I keep thinking of getting a third one. What stops me on number three is the price and just how complex the kit is. Nevermind the space for when it's done. 4

(and too high a cuss-factor sometimes!) 2
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 24, 2020 Administrators Posted January 24, 2020 Can any of the interior be left out? Or is it all needed? 4
GazzaS Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 I haven't been around much, but expected to see it almost finished... Anyway... take a break man! Looks great, tho! 4

The engines could probably be reduced to just a block and heads for mounting the exhausts. If the bomb bay and nose gun bay are closed up, that's more you could skip. My next one will be reduced to as simple as possible. 3
