John's 1/72 Matchbox Mosquito Build.

[JR]

I don't know Dude 2....The way I see it, you'll have no probs building this little thing. Maybe some small parts to deal with, but not that many in this kit. I am a bit upset that your kit is molded in one of the base colors. All you have to do is paint the other color and the underside. Then gloss it, add the decals and then matt coat the puppy to be done. Sorta like cheating I think.....LOL!!!..........

Aw, just have fun and go for it John. I really want to see how you do the crash scene myself........PM, with luck, later..............

Prost
Dude 1

No getting off that easy Dude1, I've been told it was in British colours !
Actually looking FWD to doing the camo as the new needle set up is far better for me .Have the magic putty stuff ready .

 

[JR]

Should be a interesting build John, count me in

Good your going to follow Bob, will there be abuse , if not why !

 

[JR]

Just picked myself up from the floor. You doing a plane??? At least you wont have to worry about the tracks Good luck my friend.

Yes strange things have happened before with me building these strange bird like contraptions.
No your right there, no tracks thank goodness Steve, but there is mud

 

[Mini Me]

There's usually FIRE along with a crash.........need I call Matron???

I'll follow with interest for two main reasons: John building a wingy thing and for the huge amount of abuse and bantering already going on.

Chris the nearest I have been in building was as a crew member on 570's sub along with my dear friend
Only to be asked to leave .

The main reason Chris is the small size , had a go at those tanks in 1/72 and that was too much .This plane is ok as not tracks !

It might well be Chris but Matron is lurking ready to pounce at a slight movement,like a cat after a wee birdy.

David , Indeed I am, it was all going well until some weird lines on the distraction sheet caused me to come to a halt . I've posted it else where on here .

 

[JR]

Finished painting the crew and " office " more like an empty shed.

Then joined the fuselage together with out any problem .

Then came the nose, I had a choice of two , but decided on this one


At this point I did the suspension and landing gear , have left a post on chat for help with the mudguard fitting .


That's all for now , thanks for looking in .
John .
