Nice bit of improvisation with the beer can and a great looking Mossie.

Latest progress: coat of Citadel Purity Seal satin varnish sprayed on; a couple of panels picked out in a slightly darker colour for some contrast, and props / spinners added:

Still to do:

Paint and add rocket rails,
Make, paint and add rocket deflectors,
Add a number of small pieces (carburettor intakes, mainwheel doors, mudguards),
Add canopy framing (painted decal) . . .
. . . Paint decal for canopy framing!
Weather
Sit back and have a cup of tea

Decorating is seriously affecting this build!

OK, apart from some weathering, I'm calling the Mossie finished.

Thanks for those who've followed the build and posted encouragement; it is very much appreciated - especially at those low moments. Some (non-glamour) shots.
