Jim's - Lindberg Hornisse and PM Mossie... *Both Finished*

[Jagewa]

Thanks guys, treating the move out as a holiday, with a de clutter, so it's all good.

Hornisse:
Finished up tonight..

Quick pic, I'll take some better ones tomorrow if it survives that Blenheim attack..

Mosktiko:
Masked the canopy..

and cut some small sections of stretched tube as barrels, and during that lost about three to the ping monster...

Cheers
Jim

Hornisse:

Better photos...





My raggedly mask removal, still havn't figured how to get clean edges when I remove canopy masks..


One for Dirk, a Mustang view of the Hornisse

Thanks Bruce, a bit of primer on the Moskito this morning, a bit of rough sanding to tidy up, then we'll be painting very soon.

Cheers

Moskito:

Sorted out the rough sanding marks, left over from the delicate thinning down of the wing trailing edges..

Saw a profile that showed oblique guns in the rear fuselage, which took my fancy, so cemented in some stretched tube as barrels.

Dust down tmorrow, more primer, and then paint

Cheers
Jim

Awesome work on the Hornisse, and the Mozzie seems to be following on in a similar fashion.

The the finish on the Hornisse is brill and I love the 6 o'clock shot. Those spinners though...

That’s a fantastic finish on such an old kit, well done.

[AceSeafire]

That really is very very good.

[ShaunW]

Excellent finish on the Hornisse. No Swastika?

[Jagewa]

Thanks guys,

James yes those spinners are an interesting shape, like the canopy.

ShaunW, no Swastika, I used to feel if it was WWII Luftwaffe, it had to have them, but in the last few months or so, I feel I don't want to have them on.

Cheers

Stunning build on the Hornisse. If i could get that kind of result from a Lindberg kit I'd do them more often. You've got some mad skills. I have to admit I'm a bit envious. Can't wait to see whats next.

[AndrewR]

Great build Jim!

[TomW]

All that effort paid off Jim she's a beauty, looking forward to seeing what scheme the Moskito is going to get.

Regards

Tom

[Jagewa]

Thanks guys, at the moment the Moskito is still "Tamiya Fine Surface Primer grey" scheme




another round of fill n' sand last night, and a bit of wonky scribing of the flaps and ailerons. They were engraved on the upper surface of the wing, but raised lines on the under side, which got obliterated in the trailing edge thinning..

Cheers

Last week of the school holidays which has been a boon to model bashing.. grabbed a chance this arvo to get the bug spray out..

hopefully I sprayed the areas for the crosses large enough, as I couldn't be bovvered to check, talk about laaazy..

Cheers
