  • @BillHalliwell
    @BillHalliwell 3 роки тому

    G'day Greg, A breathtaking build on this, my second favourite aircraft of all time. This will be seen as sacrilege, but I actually prefer the Mozzie over the Spitfire! Sure, the Spit is beautiful and more graceful than the Mozzie but I reckon this aircraft is like a 'double Spitfire', two Merlins and way more firepower, what's not to love? The whole design looks so wonderfully 'right'. The Mosquito could take any job thrown at it and eat it up with gusto. From benign photo ops to making tanks and .88 emplacements explode, yet it could manoeuvre acrobatically like a Pitts S-1/2 while showing its rear end to any fighter silly enough to try and catch it. Fighter, fighter/bomber, ground attack, bomber escort, pathfinder and even pulled off a jailbreak. About the only thing a Mozzie couldn't do was take on passengers!
    And to think, the Air Ministry and the RAF snubbed their noses at it, on paper. They refused to allocate special metals etc. that were going to bombers so it was made, mostly, with wood. This beurocratic indifference actually made the Mozzie fly faster. Once the RAF saw the Mozzie flying, they suddenly couldn't get enough of them.
    Congratulations, Greg! Apart from an outstandingly detailed and enhanced build, you are the first modeller I've ever seen on UA-cam to make 'Invasion stripes' look the way they were painted in reality. I have dozens of pics of 'D-Day' or 'Invasion stripes' being painted by hand, with 6 or 8-inch brushes and big tins of paint. They were slapped on in a hurry as soon as the mission was outlined, not long before the crews were briefed.
    Apart from repainting roundels and any identifying markings which were important for in-battle identification, the aesthetic look of the paint job was last on the maintenance list. The only objective was to get the planes back in the air and make them as safe as possible for the pilots.
    I’m waiting on a Tamiya 1/32 Mozzie now and I’m more than a little intimidated by the excellence of your build, however, I like models that challenge me. My skill level is nowhere near yours but I know I’ll enjoy the build. If you say you had fun doing the Mozzie then I know I will too.
    The Westland Wessex is my favourite helo but after seeing your gobsmacking effort, that’s a kit I’ll not be doing in the foreseeable future. Given all the additional work you had to do, well, that's a little too close to scratch building for me. Besides, I’m no good at ‘plumbing’. I’ve never been lucky enough to see a Wessex up close so I was astounded at the array of ‘stuck-on’ wiring and ‘plumbing’.
    Anyway, I’m off topic and rambling now so I’ll get out of your way.
    Thanks again for your Mozzie build and all the best. Cheers, BH

    • @GregsModels
      @GregsModels  3 роки тому

      I agree with you on the Mozzie; not a big fan of the Spit myself. The Tamiya Mosquito is a first-rate model, well-engineered and as long as the instructions are followed, shouldn't cause any issues. Thanks for your comments; they are very much appreciated, Greg.

    • @BillHalliwell
      @BillHalliwell 3 роки тому

      @@paulrf4484 G'day Paul, Now, I've not heard of that before. I think it would have been a disastrous business decision for BOAC for, as far as I know, apart from the pilot and navigator, the Mozzie could have room for one passenger. Somewhere here on UA-cam I've seen a documentary about some VIP; a scientist or an intelligence officer or some similar type, being squeezed into the small space behind the Skipper and the Nav. in a Mosquito. There was quite a bit of messing around with that space to take a person back there. I seem to recall he (or she, perhaps?) sort of had to sit on some blankets over the fuel tank. It must have been a pick up from somewhere in Europe as parachuting out of a serviceable Mozzie probably would be on that very short list of things the Mozzie couldn't do. If I find that documentary again I'll leave a message for you here on this video page. Cheers, and all the best from Tasmania. BH

    By golly she looks good. I haven't done a model since 1978. I bought the Airfix 1/24 Hurricane kit and the companion book by Airfix Classic their History and how to model them. I followed along and heated the plastic. tree to make the tubular frame & wiring cutting all the panels to see all the details inside . I did not have an air brush so was hand painted. For its time it looked good. So 4 years ago I got the Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito and all the Eduard add on's plus their engines. So I have yet to start my Mosquito as it seem's so much over my head, never having worked with resin or photo etch or airbrushing. Now seeing your Mosquito do you have any tips to get started. By the way I live near Everett site of Paul Allen's fly Heritage Museum . I have photographed their Mosquito flying every summer on fly days along with the Hurricane, Spitfire & the FW -190 & the Bf-109 and many more WW2 aircraft. Is great to hear the sounds of the Rolls Royce as they fly by...

    • @GregsModels
      @GregsModels  4 роки тому

      You have one of the best engineered kits available and because its so well engineered I'd advise following the instructions to the letter. The kit should literally fall together. Maybe take a look at some of the resin and photo etch tutorials on UA-cam; but it does take a few models to get the feel for it. If I was new to resin and photo etch I'd start with a few smaller and cheaper models first until I got the hang of it. Hope this helps.

    I've always thought that invasion stripes shouldn't have super-crisp edges. After all most were done in a hanger by a bored erk who had a half a dozen to do before he finished for the day. So you can imagine that super accuracy was not on top of his list.

    • @mongolike513
      @mongolike513 3 роки тому

      I have made the same observation in the past, in fact I seriously doubt all decals as being too perfect as is the surface detail which , once again, is too perfectly smooth and fails to address hollows, bumps and balloons ( tho apparently wing nut wings Lancaster included these details in their projected kit).
      But back to decals it doesn’t take too much searching around to find close up photos of how rough the invasion stripes were. Which then prompts one to look closely at ww1 a/c and notice that they were hand painted and as well as the edges being manually cut in there was also uneven build up of paint in the broader expanses of single colours. There is a huge area unexplored reality that is needed in decals apart from the amazing research that has provided us with such a variety of real markings in spirit if not in execution.

I really found helpful your trick of the foam to fill vac-form fuselages. I've been pondering on the use of it to fill the wings on the Aeroclub 1/48th scale Vulcan B.2 kit. Was thinking of ribbing the whole interior on each wing for strength, but it seems to me that the foam technique might as well work the same, while it's going to be a lot easier to do.
