Thanks Kai but I need not have worried about the MK IX bombsight I was wondering why it was still present a member on another board informed me it would of been removed.The bombsight does make the front office look complete the pit is in the housing and the tail was assembled last night to which the gear around the tailwheel........?The instructions could still need a little more work or I am to simple of a man Kevin 3
Peterpools Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Kevin Nice choice for the Mossie and an terrific start on the front office. a few years back I built the Tamiya Mossi and along with the Fisher Fury, are my two favorites in the collection. Keep 'em comin Peter 4

Great progress, Kevin! Nearing completion of construction! In my eyes silver is the correct color for the straps since they were made from aluminum. Hoping to see the next progress step soon! 6

Just very poor in part placement Nice kit extra research was required.This kits instructions on the gear sent me to the books for the tubing forward of the main legs then one part did not look the same at all to what was pictured I give these instructions a B-.

Peterpools Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Kev Your Mossie is looking mighty good and so glad she is back on the bench and underway again. 1 1
KevinM Posted July 24, 2023 Author Posted July 24, 2023 I have finally got some paint laid boys and I think it looks pretty close to PRU Blue not exact but their seemed to be some variances even back in the day.The first pic wasa Soviet blue but said not quite to much baby blue so looked at some more color chips and pics.The second pic is the same blue with about 25% intermediate blue needed a little grey introduced.The last pic is off the net and we do not if the color has been saturated or not. 9 1
KevinM Posted July 24, 2023 Author Posted July 24, 2023 Fuel Tanks painted,Cleared and Stripes revealed. 4 2
