Welcome Patryk! 🙂

Stefan Fraundorfer
I'll take a close look at your model. I have the same one in my stash and would like to build it myself in the near future. Have fun Neil!

Taking a chair👍🏻

Parked the 360, watching. You should have prolific as your middle name, the amount of builds dude. It would make me more confused than I am. Hurrichurchspitwell anyone. 🤟😵‍💫🤘😵‍💫🖖😵‍💫👍🤣🥸

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat of course!

Chris
Che bello aereo!

Neil
Wow! Welcome all. Really great to have interest from such a talented bunch of fellow modellers. @stephan, looking forward to your version very much also 👍👍 @mark, I know, I'm a bit nuts! I love having lots of the go, takes a while to complete and I'm useless at doing reveal photos. But it keeps it all fresh for me! My job is all about multiple projects, so similar state of mind! 😂

John
I do NOT envy you your masking job but it should look amazing when you finish (or run out of tape). 👍

Neil
Hi John, thanks for your interest mate. I should be ok tbh as the kit comes with a superdecal (cheat) sheet! So although there's some stressful masking on a metallic finish, it's hopefully all doable 👍 I've added some more images today. Thanks for your likes also to all who've dropped by too 🙂

J35J
Looking great! 👍🏻

Donald Dickson II
I did this one as well. Those decals are actually pretty good.

I tried acrylic metallics for the first and last time on this one. When I removed the masking for the red, it pulled EVERYTHING, primer included, right up. The finish was awesome until then. Alclad and Metalizer for me from there out.

Hi J35J - thanks very much 👍 🙂

Hi Donald, Yes, I agree, the kit decals are nice - though they are on the thicker side. On application they hide a lot of the kits surface detail in my opinion. However subsequent passes with more (and more!) softening and setting solution is doing them justice - more pictures to follow. Sorry to hear of your paint issues when building. Yes. My version is painted solely with Vallejo acrylics: Vallejo primer, Vallejo colour and Metal Colour 👍 You rescued your version well, looks good 🙂

Donald Dickson II
Thank you. In person you can see the areas that pulled fairly clearly.

I used Solvaset on the decals. That managed to get them to settle down fairly well. But yeah, it did hide a bit. BUT, i liked the thickness as those large ones required a good bit of fiddling to get where they needed to be and they stood up to the handling perfectly.

Nicolas
Nice Project, I'm watching.

Rando
Bring on the crazy conversions, definitely want to see this!

Moreno Baruffini
Me too!!! Following,!

J35J
Nicolas, Rando & Moreno Baruffini, welcome to the project!

Moreno Baruffini
Thanks to you! Really a great start!

Rando
Had no idea that they made a carrier borne Mosquito til I saw this project, lots of interesting and unique features to include here

J35J
@Rando - Thanks for your intrest, indeed it is a quite unique bird.
Derived from the Mosquito the Sea Mosquito was intended to be used aboard the Fleet Air Arm's aircraft carriers. During its time in service it would only be used by land based squadrons. Two variants of the de Havilland Sea Mosquito were built and only 67 was produced.

Neil
Very interesting project. Looking good J35J. Following 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Joining the party 👍 very nice job so far

J35J
Thanks Neil & Łukasz Gliński for your comments.

Andy Ball
well, this version I haven't heard of, so I'll crane my neck over yours...

Łukasz Gliński
Seems quite a logical idea - staying afloat in case of ditching into the sea 😄

Bernd Grün
Very nice project. It turns out very well. 👍 Didn't know anything about Sea Mosquitos.

J35J
Thanks mates for your intrest and kind comments. The project is slowly moving forward. Waiting for some photo etch parts.

David Taylor
I'm in.

Rando
Damn what a clean paint job.

J35J
Thanks David & Rando for you comments. Much appreciated👍🏻
Paint job and a light weathering in progress. Need to crack on with the decals in next phase before getting the folded wings in place.

Robert Podkoński
Somehow I missed this project before... And I have never heard about Sea Mossie up to now... Great job so far - keep it up!

BC NRA
This is very impressive work. I didn't know there was a Sea Mosquito.

J35J
Thanks BC NRA for your kind comments. Yes, the Sea Mosquito was a rare bird. Always fun to research & build the more odd versions.

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍

J35J
Thanks Guy!

J35J
Ready for inspection! More pics to come.

Moreno Baruffini

J35J
Thanks Moreno!

Guy Rump
Beautiful build, very impressive. 👍

Edward MacKenzie
Oh yes, this is really good! Congrats mate! 👍

J35J
Thanks Guy and Edward for your kind comments!

Thomas Kolb
That's one pretty model in a very unusual stance. Well done!

J35J
Thanks Thomas for your kind comments.
Just realized going for the final photos that I missed the wind shield wiper for the front screen. Details, details…🙈😅

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Łukasz Gliński
Very cool. Wish I could get that conversion set. The nose pimple is just a cherry on the cake 😄

J35J
Thanks Villiers de Vos & Lukasz Gliński for your intrest and kind comments!👍🏻
