Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log All in due time. :bgrin

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Time of Completion - December 20th, 2014 1110h Spent 11 1/2 hours on her today alone. I could see the end at the end of the tunnel and just couldn't stop.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Thanks James. Not bad for a 23 year old car eh?

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log I use as much of that stuff as you use tube cement.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Thanks man. I have an affinity for '90s Japanese sports cars - hence my avatar.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Yep every now and then I don't screw the decals up. Yes that's what they're for. I detail cars on the side....but much like this hobby, people normally balk at the money you would want to do the work for them. I prefer tire dressings that leave a matte natural...

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Thanks guys! I always worry when I ramble on that no one will be able to make heads or tails of what I've said. It's always either using this method or overspraying one colour then the other over and over again until I die. I tighten it up as best I can and then...

Beauty work as always my friend. What a great way to start my day. I love the detail you've added to the hubs. I should stock up on albion alloy, but I jump scales so often that I don't know where to even start size-wise.

Sadly not with the Mosquito still on the bench and Christmas looming. Oh well. My Buffalo and Irving shall remain mine alone.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Update time! :yipee Let's see if I can't make this a decent SBS on my method of doing soft-edged camouflage. I have never been a fan of hard edged camo - I guess it reminds me too much of brush painted models, and none of mine ever looked good. The Mosquito...

Can I join with an OOB build of mine? I legitimately build it last year entirely within the campaign timeframe, but I didn't know of this forum at that time. I swear on my airbrush it would be a legit entry.

Who sells VFS kits? This does look interesting.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Thanks folks - I'm back and as white and pasty as ever. Here's a sneak preview of what's coming down the pipe. I just have to tighten up the lines with one of my faded greys (I keep each faded colour for touch-ups) The end draws near!

I'll happily build something USN late to review the paints if they're willing to provide samples. Ill post the review here, aeroscale, and Hyperscale.

Oh this sucks, I was waiting to stock up on IJN colours, looks like you no longer have any paint. Sorry to hear.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Thanks guys. I haven't heard an 'I told you to pack earlier!' yet, but I can feel one brewing.

Ugh, no thanks - it was enough work to get him back to the table in the first place, I don't want to tie him to the damn thing in hopes he pleads insanity.

I'm recruiting my own small army around here. Well actually it's a pyramid scheme because Chuck recruited me - so I guess we're all his minions.

Airfix 1/24 Mosquito build log Just a quick what's-what to keep this thread alive while I go on my honeymoon. I just finished my latest round of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. I'm even back to working full time. So now that I'm "healthy" my wife and I finally get to run away for a well...

Sorry I'm new to this whole campaign thing - what would we be looking at as a tentative start date?
