balbukerke Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi all, This is the last work I started. I'll try do depict a Mosquito J-30 from the Swedish Airforce like this one: The starting material is the old Airfix Mosquito XIX/J.30. Surprisingly it has very nice fitting, which is odd for an Airfix. Not surprisingly was the cockpit, or the lack of it... a floor, two generic seats, a stick, an instrument panel with some fine lines representing instruments and a box depicting the radio apparatus. I sent everything to the garbage and started from scratch. The seatbelts from the radio operator are to be retouched...They don't feel realistic. Next, I'll try to make some photoetched radios.. If you have some pics of this particular variant, please feel free to show them :) specially from the cockpit and wheel wells. Tips and comments are also welcome :P Best, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

balbukerke Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Aigore, the SEM is for other purposes... they don't let go near it bad people bad people...). Anton, did you receive my PM? Meanwhile, I wasn't happy with the seats, so... I went into some photo etching, and I think it worked out nicely... There are still some refinements, but next time will go better. As always, feel free to say what you think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
