John's 1/72 Matchbox Mosquito Build.

It actually drips if you leave it…..

Right into the carpet - I found that out to my cost.

Just done the Panzer Putty from MX.

The strange stuff I use will actually bounce if you roll it into a ball. Something to do whilst the paint dries.

Funny thing is, the ball will bounce, but it will shatter if hit with a hammer…..best to take it off the model first though….

Looks good John. I found it really easy to use.

What - that sounds like a party trick, I need to learn.

Neat looking job with the Panzer Putty John. I'm sure the camo will look good.

That's the frosting in the cake JR! Looks like it's time for some 4 BO!!

Rick unfortunately it was in R.A.F. colours , but the greens not far off !

Thanks Tim, I've since removed it and quite pleased with the result , even put the canopy on.

What and stick even more to the carpet, do you like living dangerously Colin ?

Thanks Jim, turned out very well , I remembered to spray at different angles, otherwise you can get a soft edge to some on the camo , photo tomorrow.

Just caught up John, and it's coming along nicely.

I'll wait until the wife is out of the house, just in case.

Morning from a wet Linc's.
Photo of the we camo, and the cockpit canopy. Tried to mask it, gave up as the curves caused too much eye ache.In the end I hand painted the frame .

 

[colin m]

I understand giving up masking a canopy - it can be a right pain. I masked a 1:72 B-36 once, that's not an experience I will ever repeat.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Oh My........I don't know whether to take a seat or call Matron.....something's off........can't put me finger on it. Oh!......it's JR, he's been bitten by the Wing Thing Bug!!! Look out!!!, it might be contagious!!! What next.....Floaty Boaty Things???

I think he got that “BUG” when he put your coat on last winter.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Very nice JR. Sorry I missed it I like that Box Art and your Camo looks Brilliant

 

[Valeron]

Looking good John

 

[Jim R]

Looks good John. I never doubted it.

Rest assured Lee, definitely not changing to either wingy or worse still floaty boat things !

Looking good John

Thanks Mike .

Looks good John. I never doubted it.

Jim that's very kind of you, glad you have more faith than me
Might not have it after I attempt to paint the markings !

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looks like a mossy John, what more do you want . Seriously, looking good is that.
