de Havilland Mosquito B.IV


Recommended Posts

Started this one last weekend, here's where I'm at right now:

Based on the night camo scheme I'm going with, after test-fitting the wings to the fuselage I decided it would be easier to paint the wings as subassemblies. Camo is brushpainted freehand.

Hey, doing good.

A tip from brushpainted to brushpainter though... always wetsand your dried paintjob with the finest sandpaper you got on hand so you remove those little dust and paint gloops you can get in your surface. It will also even the paint when you use more than one color.

Also, you might want to paint the camo demarcations again to make them a bit more soft and without so many ondulations.

Just my opinion, besides that i love how this is building up.

Still some seams to touch up this week before adding the horizontal stabilizers. Hope to be able to start decaling by Sunday.

Turns out I've had more time to work on this than I expected. Puttied/sanded/repainted the seams, touched up the Future coat and got to work on the stabilizers.

Primed and starting on the first coat of paint:

Upper surfaces decaled as of this evening (Microsol still wet):
