Pete's 1/32 Revell Mosquito

But do the nacelles fit the wings? Silly question, of course they don't!


I'll have to sort them out before I add the undercarriage.

Looks like a job for a slice of plastic card Pete. Surprisingly even gap all the way along…

Well at least the props shouldn't need any filler.....hopefully!

I agree with Tim, a bit of plastic card and hey presto.

Looks like the match up fairly well at the trailing edge, so just a tad bit of filling there....hopefully.

They did Mark! Just a few sink marks.

That's the angle the photos are taken Rick, the trailing edges are totally different shapes on the wing and the nacelle! In places one overlaps the other by a couple of millimetres.

Time to throw some paint at it:

Doesn't fit the spray booth very well!

Nice one, must be a good feeling getting some paint on after all that filler and sanding.

Yes, I'll be glad to see the back of this one.

Some readers might have noticed the mistake shown in the photo above - I just grabbed a pot of Sky... then later realised that Mosquitos' undersides were painted Medium Sea Grey, so:

I'm still undecided about whether to apply invasion stripes or not.

Nice smooth paint film there. All that filling and sanding paid off. Go with the stripes….you know you want to.

Did notice the sky,just thought it was another scheme i didn't know about, cos i dont know much lol

Plodding on; I've started on the upper surfaces:


Left a bit unpainted to encourage me to do the invasion stripes!

I must clear the junk out of my spray booth...
