Interesting and odd. Oddly interesting.

After a long, knackering week I blew off steam with a long modelling session. Huge fun and I was occasionally competent, although I mainly demonstrated my lack of skill! The van is coming together and might work ok with the figures.

As I'm basically an old man now, some old man modelling. 1/24 ancient 80s Takara VOTOMS Scopedog, updated by Wave. The legs and feet I'm happy with, but I'm adding card to the bottom of the body, to raise its waist, and I'll be shortening the arms slightly too.

Ian Doody
Rusty old death tub. Love the fact that VOTOMS AT's are basically futuristic Sherman Tanks, and as vulnerable as them. Death traps.

Ian Doody
Coming along nice and rustily, finally getting this done after ten years in the box. Wish I'd picked up more 1/24 VOTOMS kits when I had the chance, luckily I've got two 1/20's and about eleven 1/35 AT's to still make.

That weathering/rust looks amazing.

Neuling
Looks good!

Alex Rakhimgulov
Beautiful model! Amazing paint and weathering job! More pics!

Neuling
Yes. More pics please!

gorby
Wow that really is a beauty!

Sven Schönyan
I second that! A very nice Mosquito!

Rando
wow! that's spectacular. unique appearance too with those metallic spinner and nose caps

Alexander Grivonev
Wow, a real eye catcher with those silver hubs. Clean work and paintjob, but also great subtle weathering 👍

Jon Bryon
Thanks guys for your comments - always appreciated!

Gary Victory
Really nice build and weathering Jon. Especially the "Ghost" marks for the drop tanks. I'm guessing this is a post war Mossie..?

Jon Bryon
Thanks Gary. Yep - from 1946-1947.

Michael Kohl
That's a fine looking Leo.

Neuling
I agree.

Ray Loch
Excellent build and like the history behind the markings.

Daniel Křivánek
Thanks

Doubtingmango
Excellent work! Thoughts on the kit?

Daniel Křivánek
It's a Hasegawa cover, so it's great. You just need to be careful when gluing the top of the hull, where you glue other inserts for the drop cabin or car door. I've added a scan of the instructions.

Neuling
Clean, careful, beautiful!

Neuling
Something for the book shelf. Very well done!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Thanks a lot to all of you 👍

Thomas Espe
Very nice. 👀

Stefan Schacht
nice start, count me in.

Mickaël Gaspar
Thank you!

Robert Barkoski
Finemolds makes great kits. Can't wait to see it finished.

Poor old Y-Wings, bit like the guys who wear the red shirts in Star Trek - always the first to get shot. Nice build. That big red circle display in the cockpit looks like it should have " DO NOT PRESS!" written on it though and ejects the engine pods if you do.

Mickaël Gaspar
Thanks, i improvised a bit for the cockpit and also for the outside because the decals were way too old and i tried to match the right colors but i'm colorblind...

DerMattes
Great looking Y-Wing so far 👍 looking forward to the finished build!

Mickaël Gaspar
Thanks DerMattes 🥹.

Neuling
Very good result! 👍

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Ever since I was a kid I wanted to have a good model of this elegant plane. I've assembled both NOVO/FROG and Special Hobby. Not the same. The Clear Prop model is a step higher.
P.S. I haven't quite figured out how to link the project to the model yet, sorry.

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful model of a beautiful plane! Chapeau bas, Anatolii!

Cuajete
Finally a good 1/72 plastic model of this aircraft. Looks like Clear Prop did a good job. I'm stuck with the Airfix one and the KP one doesn't seem to be a good representation.

Fantastic result. Very nice model.
Congrats!

I think to link a project to an album you have to create a new project (from projects --> add new project) and then link or create an album to the project

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Thank you.
I couldn't connect the project with the model, although I have the model in my stash. And the project with the album too. I'll figure it out.

Mr D
1) Add it to stash from kits list,
2) Status= Started.
3) Go to Edit...scroll down to link project, Select the desired kit from list.
Should be all good then

Nice build 👍👍 nice shiny red, was this the plane that had X2 engine's inline??

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
The model from Clear Prop is definitely better than KP and all the others in terms of geometry, detailing and quality.
It is also possible to purchase an engine (DH.88 Engine (Clear Prop! CPA72141, 1:72)) and make an open hood. But this is already an amateur's choice

Christoph Kunz
The most beautifull plane ever.
And you did an excellent job. 👍

Anatolii Smyshliaiev
Thanks, I'll try it next time.
Engine according to Wikipedia 2 × de Havilland Gipsy Six R air-cooled six-cylinder inverted inline, 230 hp

Mr D
😲 wow.... powerful beast in its time.
Thanks for info.... very smart airframe 👍👍

Ben M
Wow, it's not easy to get a red gloss finish like that!

Spanjaard
very nice result.

J35J
