Shocking but true, I actually finished a GB kit well in advance of the deadline. Here she is, my 105 Sqn. Mosquito B. IV. As I posted previously, this particular Mossie was in 105 Sqn at the time of the Oslo raid, but I can not say conclusively if it did or did not go on that mission. But since 105 Sqn did that mission, she will represent. This has to be the quickest build and finishing job I have  done on a kit in years. I also think that it shows in some places as a result. A good fun build of a classic kit and a good learning experience.

I hope you like....

I'm glad you like her guys. This was a good build for restoration of model building morale and motivation.

Dostacos, please, scale and manufacturer?

And people!!!  

Does that look OK? I don't want to do the metallic drab on mine.. I don't know why, I just don't feel for it.. So this light grey look OK to me.. What do you guys think?

 Hey Jay, The condor is looking great. Love the interior shots, very nice.

 Huxy, IMO I would go with the silver, and shade with either gray, or a blue/grey. Dullcoat, then use thinned future lightly applied on the metal surfaces (just to get a semi gloss).

 Looking forward to updates.

Glad to hear that, Mobious! Can't wait to see another plane from the occupationforce..

I myself have only done two planes.. I have two WIPs now. This and an IL2. Really, I have only 4 planes that are built/WIP.. Except some others that I built as a little kid tough... But ya, I'm sure you've built more than me!

Anyways.. A little update from the hoster himself.

A little profile picture I got in a book. You can see it's depicted with a silver drab. But I'm so afraid of metallics on such a big surface that it has to wait I say my light grey looks good.. 

You can also see the nose depicted gold. But the other picture I posted once, No. 423, has a black nose..

And I painted the nose brass.

Well, I started striping. Also note the metalic on the nose. Masked and fixed!

I found a nice position of the striping, which was the RNoAF 1937-40 markings. Masking the position and start painting..

And then cutting the maskingtape into smaller stripes. No idea why, as it's unesecery. But good practise !

Then the white:

Then the finished..  The maskingtape "leaks" a little, so I had to touch up with the brush. All in all, 2 hours of work. I have also done the underside, Went a little quicker. Do note aswell, I have made the blue stripe slightly thicker, so it looks better.

[EDIT] Ahh.. Forgot to mention.. I have painted the plane in a light grey overall, as you see!!  

That was it from me! Some steps closer to the badge!
