Many thanks Andy, will save me some time masking.

[Ian M]

Thanks Tony, I could use most of it, if I knew where it all goes, I’ve no instructions and can’t seem to find any on the net.

If it's Eduard you can find them on their shop site.

Your off to a great start mate, those masks from Andy will make things easier.

Hi Ian
Very nice of Andy. The masks will make things a lot easier.

Well I’ve got the cockpit and bomb bay built and painted.

The seatbelts look a treat. Many thanks for them Pete.
Now onto the weathering before I button it all up.

That's all looking great
I was actually going to comment on the seat belts in particular.... Then I read your last few lines !!
They do look smart though don't they!

[Jim R]

That looks very nice indeed Ian. Mosquito bomb bays varied slightly to accommodate different loads. Yours looks excellent, a little different to mine although it may just be due to the smaller scale.
I hope the fuselage halves fit around nicely.

Just had a dry fit, and all is well Jim.

[papa 695]

All buttoned up now, not much to see after all the work put into it, but we all know it’s there.

Good progress Ian. Fit of the fuselage looks pretty good as do the wing roots.

And the wings aren’t glued on yet.

[Allen Dewire]

That looks great Ian!!! You can still see quite a bit of the finery inside too. I've spent the last day and a half trying to get my fuselage to close around the pit. Scraping, sanding, cutting and fiddling.......I'm having better luck french kissing rattlesnakes..............

Prost
