Thanks Gorby!
I found out that I managed to get the tracks on reversed. So I switched them around and, while at it, shortened them by one link.

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

@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.

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

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.

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

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

50 Franjen fürs Modell passt für mich aber 25 Franken Versand finde ich schon recht happig....wenn ich Dir was mit DHL schicke kostet mich das inkl Versicherung 15€....

Guten Tag, ja dafür kann ich nichts, das sind eben die Preise der Post in der Schweiz
Du kannst ja auf der Webseite der Schweizer Post selber nachprüfen, was es kostet, ich mache nicht die Preise. Sorry Mit DHL Schweiz würde es sogar mehr kosten.
nein, ich habe kein Paypal. Da es mit dem Schweizer Post Konto nicht möglich ist, es zu verbinden.

That's a lovely finish! I really like that you weathered the decals too, especially the large "284".

I agree with the above, a super clean assembly and a very precise livery!

I think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Looks a very interesting conversion.

> I think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Probably, yeah 🙂 It's a metalworking lathe, so a bit overkill for just turning down the seam on those wheels, but I didn't feel like aching fingers from scraping them down with a knife — I get those even when I hold them in a modelling vice, never mind just between my fingers.
> that kind of set up can tool a real bogie!!
Having seen a disassembled Sherman bogie up close, I must say I think this one is a size too small for that 😉
5 July, 08:53
![](/profiles/img/66321-723-s.png)
@Mr D: that's not the welds yet, it's just the filler needed to plug the gaps 🙁 I'm still debating how to add all the weld seams.
@Ben M: An M2 screw, about 2 cm long, through the hole in the wheel, with a nut to tighten it. It needs to be fairly tight else chances are the wheel will stop as soon as the chisel hits it. On Asuka two-piece wheels, you need to do this before assembling the parts, because the hole on the piece to be glued in is smaller than on the part that has the tyre moulded on it.

Thank you, I can envision the setup. I have a small lathe and arthritis in my hands, this technique could help me a lot. Thanks!
9 July, 11:58
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Regarding weld's l have seen super glue used through a fine tip, you need steady hand n move in pattern to create weld.
Sorry l was looking at the resin 🤔🤣.
Good stuff be keeping eye
On progress 👍👍

@Ben M: What also works is a modeller's vice. Clamp the wheel in that, scrape down the seam with a straight knife over a third or so of the wheel, then unclamp and turn it, and repeat. If I scrape more than about two or three wheels by hand, my fingers ache enough that I have to stop, so the vice helps a lot. But you also get a lot of plastic scrapings all over your modelling area, so this time, I figured I'd put those in someone else's hobby room instead for a change 😉
@Mr D: Hahaha! The ones on the resin were put there by Resicast 🙂 But I'll now have to make ones that look similar, or at least not out of place next to them. I'm thinking a thin string of two-part epoxy, textured with a sharp tool.
