Right then. Wheels mounted; solid axels by the way. Pilot and navigator glued to their seats. Literally!
fuselage, wings, tailplanes glued up. As much as the resin I intend to use is also in place, bar one part, the main belly cowling. Due to me makeing a total pigs ear out of it I contacted the chap that done the original set and asked if its possible to buy just the part I buggered or If I would have to buy a new set. I got a reply next day and was told that if I send him my address, he will send a replacement part. Now thats service!!!
Trouble is now I have to wait befor I can continue.
The infill panels and the bomb holder fitted perfectly and only a tiny bit of filler will be need. (me again with the sanding stick!).

You only just remembered! How funny did SWMBO find that? I'd probably be limping,or in a coma lol.
The Mossie is looking very nice.

Got a bit bored and didnt know what else to start on while I wait for the new cowl for the highball holder, so I have primed the most of her and did a bit of pre shadeing. painted the exhaust stacks,
I think I might have to give the seam along the bottom of the fuselage a bit of work as its still quite visible!
Any one like to come with a size for serial numbers on a mossy?

Serial numbers were 8". Squadron/aircraft code letters varied a bit 30",32" and 36".

Thanks Steve i knew I could count on you. Strange this particular aircraft did not have squadron/aircraft codes, just the serial so my next job is a tiny bit easier, just have to sharpen the old scalpel!!!

A small update, while I got PC time! ;-)
Shes painted!
I still Need to do the panel lines and a few other details yet. Post shading came out sort of ok.
What do you lot think.
The canopy is a bit tatty. After trying to mask it five times, I gave up and found a paint brush!

Difficult to see it in these pictures Ian. I can see the shading on the grey but it doesn't show up as well on the green. Possibly it's just the picture not doing it justice.

From my own experience, if the shading is about right, it does not show too well in pictures. I have never managed to get around this issue with my photographs. Coming on really nicely though Ian, always a pleasure to see a Mosquito and even better, a conversion.
