New Model For Christmas


Rattler

Recommended Posts

Picked me up the Airfix 1/24 scale Mossie on sale, and the missus got an additional $10 off the in-store price!

I'll post some picks. Got the cockpit underway.

I'm going to do it up as Russ Bannock's T-HZ, Hairless Joe.

[edit] - if I can find some decals for it.....seem to be out of production.

Wow. That is amazing detail Pete, so much so that it is hard to get any perspective on the scale. Just how large/small is that section?

~S~ Pete m8,

Very nice detail painting indeed. It looks like a brand new still in the factory cockpit.

That kit is around £100 here btw.

I haven't gotten to mucking it up yet. Needs a bit of rubbing and dry brushing. I'll get another pic of it out later.

Dry fitted the cockpit. Excellent fit so far - no issues at all!

1/48 scale Spitfire Mk. XVI pictured with the Mossie, for scale comparison....

By the way - it looks much better without the harsh flash lighting - it doesn't look that clean in real life.

I was at it again today. I even crashed once in my Mossie in coops while working on it, and FT was gracious enough to still let me back in!

Very cool, them Radiators ...

Hah! I see what you did there......

Here's the wing dry-fitted (but it won't be coming off again - it's pretty much locked in place.) Really nice job in the moldings - there is almost no gap at all on either side, top or bottom of the wing. Shouldn't require any puttying except along the front where the rads are. I put the 1/48 Spitfire in again for scale.

~S~ Pete m8,

Have you thought about the after market lazer etched "dead flies" pack for the radiators ? LOL

Looking great so far.

~S~ P.

Hmmmmm, 1/24 scale dead flies...

Seeing as I'm doing this as a night intruder 418 City of Edmonton plane, perhaps some tree boughs and small birds too......they did lots of low level ops at night. Hard to see where you're going at all times! Read "Terror In The Starboard Seat" for a 1st hand "alligator's" account. Good read. It's about a 418 Sqn crew.
