Sorry Tony, but you are loonier than Richard, with his 10X smaller stuff!!! How you guys do it is just amazing to this old git....Respect and your Mossie is looking good too, even without the canopy work..........

Now that's what I call craftsmanship!Got the nose fitted and blended in ( carefully so as not to lose the raised detail ) . The engine nacelles have been fitted too , a fair bit of dry fitting and fettling was done to ensure as good a fit as possible ,again so the raised detail wasnt lost if they needed sanding.
Ive been looking at the canopy too, its not quite correct . The mosquito had an internal framework that sits inside the canopy , Airfix have tooled this as raised frames on the outside , plus there are three external frame members that should be there that arent . So out with the scalpel and scrape off the incorrect frames then polish up back to clarity with the trusty nail buffer. . I used adhesive aluminium tape for the missing frames and dipped the canopy in Klear , its now curing in a sealed container to stop any dust falling on it. The inside frame work will be added ( not sure how yet ) before its attached .View attachment 460449View attachment 460450View attachment 460451View attachment 460452View attachment 460453View attachment 460454View attachment 460455
IMHO black primer looks so much better than grey. Coming on very nicely Tony.Now in primer ( i went for black in the end ) so any areas that need further attention should be easier to see ( i can see one already , the area in front of the windscreen needs a little tidy up) View attachment 460528View attachment 460529
