Slow but good progress Dave.
Can't wait to see more

Now the Airfix Mosquito is finished,I can spend more time on this one.After two rounds of filling and sanding ,the nose to fuselage join is done.As often happens when a dry run shows a good parts fit,they don't fit that well when glued together.So a bit of filler was needed.The wings needed a bit of filler around the engine cowling joins.Then I glued the wings and tailplanes to the fuselage.

If it's this one you are getting,it's a more recent moulding than the Monogram kit.\ said:
That's the old Monogram kit reboxed then.The one I'm building here.Its not a totally accurate Mosquito.But if I hadn't just built the Tamiya and Airfix kits,I don't think I would have noticed!.\ said:No mate it's this one View attachment 96141I just got this off google

The undercarriage doors are moulded as part of the engine nacelles.If you want the gear down,they have to be carefully cut out then cleaned up.Door hinges are supplied as separate items.Ive masked the canopy frames this evening and glued it to the model.And I've glued on the wing tip lights.These needed a bit of plastic card to make them a better fit.The kits .303 machine guns are way over scale.So I've got some 'Master' brass barrels to fit in their place.On this build I've decided to fit them after painting and finishing the model.So I've filled the inside of the nose with scrap plastic.And I've filled the oversized gun ports.I will drill holes for the guns and fix with superglue at the end of the build.

Thought I would try out the spray booth I got for Christmas.Its very cold in my garage, so I used Alclad grey primer on the model.It doesn't seem to be affected by the low temperature and has dried as quick as usual and give a nice,smooth finish.

This is coming along very nicely Dave.
I doubt it will look better than yours Alan.I may appear to be taking my time with this one.But the reality is I haven't had much chance to do much modelling lately.Family stuff keeps getting in the way!.\ said:Very nice dave
Nah dave ive rushed mine and left out some filing and I got the underside colour wrong , i cose what I thought was a mid sea grey mate but ended up with a stone grey gloss and me and gloss don't get on so the surface is full of brush marks and will be difficult to weather , top side is fine but to much rushing for the 1/24 SSIG has made me do stupid mistakes\ said:

After a bit more filling and some more primer I have now got a coat of black on the model.for this I used Revell enamel number 9 'Anthracite' as it's not too black if you know what I mean.Ive also sprayed the prop spinners and undercarriage doors the same colour.
