Good taste. Love that show. On my second time around, just as good as the first.

 

The cockpit is a whole kit in itself, Toshi!  Nice work with it.

Are you guys talking about the British series with Martin Clunes.

Coming mainly for that, but I'm also going to stay in Bath for a few days, see Stonehenge, and the Tank Museum at Bovington!

 

Bovvy is amazing. If you piuck a good day they have vehcile drving in displays. Never been to bath but been past stonehenge a few times on route to Salisbury plain. Sure your going to have a great time.

Toshi, if you'd have time to post that step #7 I'd appreciate it because step 8 leaves me with more questions than answers about that intrument panel, and I'm really curious.

BTW, I did update mself on your WIP thread the other day, that's a lot of sprues, young man! I don't have a feel for the overall size yet so I'll have to go back over and dig some more.

Toshi, i like what your doing, shareing the info from here in your WiP thread. Great idea.

 

Thank you for inviting me to your GB.  If not for you, I would have never known to join the RAF 100th Anniversary GB!  A very prestigious building experience.  Thank you so much Bish for expanding my horizons!

Nice work there on the seat Toshi. And wow, individual dials for the instrument panel!?! I thought the Tamiya 1/32nd Zero was insanely detailed, the Mosquito is on a whole new higher level there! 

 

The Tamiya 1/32 Zero was and still is an insanely detailed kit as I agree with you as we both built it.  The Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito was designed many years later hence as you say; "Is on a whole new higher level"!  The design concept is just amazing, and the amount of assembly of small parts are amazing.  Gamera, thank's for stopping by!

Here's a question for you all, unrelated to the Group Build, but related to the RAF and military aircraft in general: How many of you all are going to the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford this year? This will be my first time, and I am super excited! They'll have some vintage warbirds there, including a Lancaster, a P-40, and a P-51, plus they're going to have (at last count) at least FOUR aerial demonstration teams: the USAF Thunderbirds, the RAF Red Arrows, the Finnish Air Force Midnight Hawks, and the Swiss Air Force Patrouille Suisse. Good times!

 

No, but i am going to have to get to that one year. Areyou coming over just for that or visiting others parts of the country.

Step #8

Right, so they are individual dials that fit into those holes. Now thats detail. At least you can paint them all seperatly.

 

I'll take a photo of that particular step and post it here in a minute or so.  Thanks for asking,  now you've got me on my toes.  LOL!

Interesting looking IP there Toshio. Is there anything that goes in those holes or do they go right through.

 

There's still a lot of parts that go together to make the IP in that I haven't even seen yet.  What I have seen, I quit don't understand it at this time.  

From what I gather, there's PE for the face plate of the dials.  Then comes clear plastic dials of which it seems many are individual pieces.  Then finally a decal.  At least from what I can decipher.

Below is the dry fit of the instrument panel.

To Greg or anyone else interested,

Check out my WIP in the aircraft thread.  It will show the size and scale of this kit.  I've broken down the entire kit sprue by sprue.  Thanks again Greg and everyone else for your support!

Nice pit, Toshi.

So that thing is 1/32nd? It must be big.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your kind comment.  I greatly appreciate it.  Yes, it's a 1/32 Tamiya Mosquito.  It's  big kit with close to 600 parts.

 

Toshi

 

 

 

 

Wow, I recall that you were very excited about this kit. I see why now. You take your time and enjoy every moment of this one.
