Hi Leslie & welcome to this forum which is as good as you can possibly get.

Just takes me back before Christmas & finishing my Revell 1/48 Mosquito. Going to take some pictures at the weekend as of yet not posted any at all.

Look forward to seeing some more pictures of yours. I wished I had gone for the Tamiya. The Revell was very difficult with poor joins on the fuselage & nacelles.

Not bad at all - though the pilot looks a bit like he's wearing lipstick. Still, who am I to judge...
 
Thread owner
Yes you are right Brickie, does look like he is wearing lipstick..Have but that right. good job he was only place in and not stuck down.I think he looks a bit better now!!!.

Thanks to all for your encouragement.I was reading on the forum about the superglue and baking powder so thought I would try it.Seems good will post a pic when I have sanded it down properly.

Sum new pics of the face of the pilot

It's come together very well Leslie, looking forward to seeing the paint go on.
 
The Mossie is such a beautiful bird and you are certainly doing her justice...

Looking good so far mate. I did the same model on my return to the hobby. Nowhere near as good as your so far. Keep at it.

Cheers

A quick update on my Mossie.You can see from the photo's that I have gone for 143 Squadron,Hope I can do them Justis!!! All together and painted now I was wondering if I should try a bit of weathering round the exhausts.Don't know how to go about it and the colors, so will have to do a bit of reading on this forum.Any advice would be most great-full.

If you are a brush painter, the best way you can do the staining for the exhaust is probably with pastels. Grate them up on a piece of rough sandpaper so you get a powder. I would go for a blackish brown. paint the powder on dry with a soft brush, and concentrate the pigment in the centre. A little light grey in the centre if you want the full high lead fuel effect...

Hope that some help. Also try doing a forum search for Mosquito or Mossy/Mossie. It should turn up some of the thread here with Mossies, There are a few.. :-)
