Just caught up with this Tony.......nice crisp paint job and the decals will bring it to life, for sure!

Looking good Tony must be nearly there now.

Decals look good. They always make a plane look 'finished'. Very good fix of the transparent white.

Got the matt coat on today after a quick highlight of the control surfaces with a black wash ,then a fine misting of Tamiya XF86 Flat clear . Not much left now , just machine guns , the molins gun , landing lights ,whip aerial and a bit of weathering / exhaust stains then unmask the canopy and nav lights and we’re done .

Well this ones crossed the finish line , the last few bits have been done . I added the exhaust stains on the nacelles ,fitted the carburettor intake grilles , fitted the machine guns and molins gun , a whip aerial from a paintbrush bristle and de masked the canopy and nav lights.
The underwing landing lights were added using some diamante jewels which came off a blouse my daughter in law was throwing out , suitably cut to size and fitted in the holes . The fighter / bomber versions of the mossie have a distinctive central windscreen wiper so that was added from a couple of tiny pieces of black paintbrush bristle. Thanks to Ian for suggesting this GB , heres a few to finish this thread , ill put a ‘completed‘ thread on later with more pics . Thanks for watching cheers tony
