looks good, i will be following this build.
to bad the paint stripping didnt go well on the previous model.
here's a tip, submerge the model in a box filled with 70% water and 30% Dasty degreaser (available at the Wibra) for 24 hours, the paint should peal off easely.

Hello.
I removed the paint on my mosquito and painted it new.
Below you can see pictures of my stripped mossie from my album (scalemates.com/profi..bums&album=94852).
For stripping the paint, i used "TAMIYA-Carson - Paint-Killer" scalemates.com/kits/..aint-killer--1234789
I wish you success.

Thanks for these advices , but the paint on this old kit was probably from rattle cans and more difficult to remove. And the paint was not the only issue to adress, e.g. some broken parts and the yellow plastic. And I always follow a good advice from my wife ( = buy a new kit). The old kit will end in the box for experiments.

Oh man, how did I miss this? I need to take notes for my eventual Syldair DC-6 project from the Tintin adventure Destination Moon.
