Yes, the crew look very good - the wash is very effective.

Great work Martin those figures are very well done especially given that it's only your second attempt. You'll be painting 1/12th scale busts next

And, after spending the best part of 2 hours building a radio box for the rear parcel shelf, and a Gee unit for behind the pilot's seat (Gee? On an FB.VI? Sue me), we have:

That looks great, radio looks fine to me Gee set or not - if you hadn't said anything I'd have been none the wiser!

Thank you!
The radio set you can see on the rear 'parcel shelf' is not too bad accuracy wise. However, the slanted black box you can just see a bit of over the pilot's right shoulder in the second photo is the Gee set. I don't believe a fighter-bomber Mossie would have been equipped with it, but it fills the space behind the pilot's seat nicely!
regards,
Martin
