Joel_W Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Skuki, Just got caught up with your build to date. I've followed a few 1/32 Mossie builds on LSP, and yours is right up there with the best of them, actually better then most. Your cockpit wiring really makes a huge difference. the wing radiator detailing is something I haven't seen to date. Looks tremendous. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Major Walt Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I’m utterly speechless and stunned 😳 This is some of the most intricately detailed work I have ever seen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Absolutely perfect.......one of the best builds I have seen so far! Cant wait for more updates! Cheers Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Today !! :D And thanks all, glad you like it Here are some pictures of the opened panels that will be on one wing. I've decided to make some things out of pe, so I've asked my friend for help. I've explained him what I would like to have, gave him basic dimensions and he did all other work - drawing, adjusting and etching. It looks very nice. Thank and regards, Marko Edited March 4, 2018 by skuki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 skuki, Your friend's PE work is amazing, as they look as good if not better then many I've seen. And your installation of them is really coming along nicely. Will they be perfectly blended in to the wing, or will you have recessed panel lines around them?

Well it should blend in the wing. But that is a very tricky part, I did such thigs before so I know... If there were panel lines and rivets around, I wouldn't go with this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Outstanding work with that photoetch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If there were panel lines and rivets around, I wouldn't go with this Hey, now there's an idea for an ubergeeky trivia question - how many exterior rivets show on a DH Mosquito? Wouldn't it be interesting if the answer was not 'none'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Ok I will play.... Canopy framing, allu trim strips around bomb & Canon gun bay doors (nose and belly)and machine gun door trims, although these are actually c/s screws, nose cone, panel behind nose cone to remove spent shell cases, cannon muzzle trough, all radiator skins and covers, ailerons, engine nacelles and all cowlings and spinner, cover for camera behind bomb bay (on FB-VI), elevators, fuel cooler (if fitted), rudder trim tab, lower fairing for tailwheel opening...I am sure there will be others but life is too short for me to think on it anymore...LOL Marko, when you remove those oblong panels on the upper wing (next to the fuel filler doors)you will need to show where the fabric patch had been applied. These are often shown as visible panels on models, but in reality were fabric covered. I think from memory they had the fuel venting pipes in them and were generally only opened for fuel tank removal.... Keep up the amazing work! Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Those PE parts look great, Marko. And the way you incorporated them into the wing by chiseling mortises is amazing. Did you use ordinary putty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive used tamiya basic type putty for rough parts, and Mr. surfacer for fine tunning :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Incredible work Skuki. Completely off topic here, but did you ever finish the M-ATV you had a work in progress of at Armorama? That was another work of art, and I'd love to see some finished pics of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Truly nice... Marking this for reference! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
