Erik LeijdensSince my Tempest is nearing completion it's time to start a new project. I'm very into fellow Dutchmen who were active in the RAF/RNZAF squadrons in ww2 at the moment so this is a perfect subject. Chris Vlotman was the only(?) Dutchman in 488 RNZAF Mosquito nightfighter squadron. He scored 4 confirmed victories; 1 Do-217, 2 Ju-88s and 1 Fw190. Survived the war and was later a KLM captain.

Ed BatresNice cat, the weathering looks authentic, but you should have used the Tamiya kit... :} Seriously though, the Mossy is going to be a great build.

Erik LeijdensThanks mates! A rare fit issue on a Tamiya kit, the gun ports piece does not fit well. Well, it turns out it's a model kit after all 🙂

Bart GoesaertYou have the momentum. Looking good so far. Looks promising for the fit of my VI to start soon, but first some other projects out off the way first...

Nathan DempseyI'm sure you'll straighten out that fit issue and soon be ready for paint. Looking forward to more ?.

Gary KitchenErik it's looking fabulous, the Mr Surfacer base is a pleasure to behold, and it only gets better with your colour coats. 👍
