JohnB Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Finally finished with this one. It's a great kit but can have some "high cuss factor" moments usually due to my own clumsiness, etc. Completely OOB. Upper camo colors are Xtracolor while the undersides and interior are Testors MM. The decals are Aviology (thanks Carl!!!). I hope you like the results of my efforts! 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Great job John! I hear you on the challenges of putting one together. Had some of my own doing on my build. So what's next in the queue? Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Great job, John! A real stunner. Glad to see it completed, too. I've heard this one mentioned as a mojo killer before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you like it. Yes, it can have its "moments" but it makes up unto a nice model. I don't think these photos do it justice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Just beautiful John! Always love a well built Mossie and you nailed it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Your Mossie looks great, love the details like the engine and bomb bay. As much as I'd like to start mine, it has to wait, but seeing your fine result raises the urge. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 That looks really great, we used to have a Mosquito based near us and I always used to admire it, sadly it was lost in an accident. Yours definately does it proud I must admit that the black undersides look better to me. Cheers Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Great Job, John! I personally prefer Mosquitos with black undersides! I‘ve got also one in my stash and your Mossie is inspiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
