Finished this one yesterday.Whilst adding the finishing touches,I knocked a bottle of thinners off a shelf.Of course,it hit the model.Broke off a tailplane,Tail wheel and one of the wing mounted radar aerials disappeared never to be found!.Here it is after repairs.

Oh yes Dave I do know the feeling.

But a very nice model on a very nice aircraft. Not easy to weather a black aircraft just underdone and looks the job.

I do know this feeling as well Dave!! I was trying to shot some more photos of the Fw190.....and now is....errr....

Anyway your model looks very good indeed.

The white colour wash add a nice deep at the paintwork, magnificent.

 

[Guest]

Eh? There is a white wash...? or it's me?

 

[monica]

nice repair job,Dave,glad you were able to fix her,

as Laurie said,Not easy to weather a black aircraft, or any think for that matter,

so very well done,

 

[Dave W]

Eh? There is a white wash...? or it's me?

I mixed black and white oil paints to give a greyish wash.

That looks very good Dave and a good repair job

 

[Guest]

That's a lovely Mossie Dave as Laurie said, black is a very difficult colour to work with, but your weathering & panel line wash is just right.

 

[eddiesolo]

Nice work Dave, good repair and looks nasty in black.

Si

Sinister, awesome, and all round great build Dave.

 

[Alan 45]

That's a great wooden wonder dave I like that a lot

You can tell the differences though from the airfix and tamiya counterparts but it still makes a great looking plane

Makes me want to start mine but no the my hurricane must be started ive faffed about enough now it's down to business

 

[Guest]

Good thing the thinner bottle didn't smash looks great though

 

[flyjoe180]

Good thing the thinner bottle didn't smash looks great though

Yes, or turps

 

[Guest]

Oh goodness, don't get me started on turps, it has such a strong smell, it's enough to make your eyes water, but it does the job I guess

Nice Mossie, the paintwork looks good black is always a pain to do.
