Very clean. Super panel lines.

Great subject matter.

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.

Pacific Strafer
Clean and careful work with beautiful colors!

Sebastian Meyner
Spectacular work mate 👍

Alexander Grivonev
May I allow myself a little critique? I think the streaks/rainmarks should follow gravity's path instead of appearing parallel to the panel lines, like seen in picture 29. Just an idea for future projects. Otherwise like already said outstanding build!

Jon Bryon
This is a good catch - I shall try to remember that next time!

Great camo! Pretty skeeter!

Rui S
Beautiful clean Work 👍 Congratulations

"Sparky"
I agree, very clean job!

This kit is more than 50 years old and amazingly good. The original tires in my kit had decomposed to mush so I got some Tamiya RC tires, machined some rims and 3d printed some centres.
The kit comes with a motor, lights and wiring. Motor hidden in engine block, 4x AA in the fuel tank. It even has little uni joints on the tail shaft.

I've spent a bit of time trying to get the stance right. Out of box it sits quite high.

Those rims are amazing, did you use a hobby lathe?

Rod -
I have a cnc lathe at home. It has a 75mm spindle bore, a bit bigger than a hobby lathe 🙂

Dashbord looks incredibly good.

Dash gauge decals pinched from a 1/12 foose camaro kit. The original decal sheet only gives you 3 choices of screaming chicken and a big blue stripe. No badges or detailing of any kind. The silver trim is a separate piece. I glued some green felt on the floor for carpet.

I'm using SMS "green gold flip" for the body colour.

István Szücs
She looks so good- I love the color of the seats!

Alexander Grivonev
This deserves way more pictures!! 👍

I'm waiting on some 3d printed brake rotors and calipers. There will be more pics soon 🙂

Some more progress. Body was painted white with a black fade under the horizontal crease along the side of the body. Then the green/gold pearl, then about 5 coats of green tinted clear. When it hardens I'll polish, add decals and put the final 2k clear on. The camera can't capture the color, it looks nice sitting on the bench 🙂

This is my first 1/12 car. It needs way more paint than a 1/24! I used 2-1/2 bottles of sms pearl. Instead of using hobby clear coat I bought a can of clear acrylic spray from the auto parts store and decanted it for mixing and airbrushing. Good quality paint and much cheaper!

I glued the boot shut as the fit wasn't perfect and there's nothing to see in there anyway (4x AA batteries, loaded from the bottom). I also am not confident the opening doors will work perfectly so I glued one shut. That way at least one side of the model will look clean if the door fit is a bit crappy.

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic colours! Great job so far, Rod. Keep it up!

Thomas Wirsching
Great color choice! I am not into car modelling but yours look great!

István Szücs
Very nice color!

Pic 11 is probably closest to what it actually looks like. All the pics look sort of aqua and over exposed. In reality it's a bit darker with a fine pearl effect.
