As I couldn't sleep very well, I got up in the middle of the night, and cracked on with the Mossie.
A bit of further light sanding was required here and there, and then the nav lamps and undercart were masked, the latter being quite awkward, and it's a shame they had to be fitted before adding the nacelles to the wings, but wrapping the main gear in kitchen foil, and the tail wheel in masking tape, seems to have done the trick. Any slight overspray that might have got through can easily be re-touched later.
I dislodged the nav lamps whilst applying masking tape, but no big problem, as they can be re- fitted and sealed after painting.
The model has now had two coats of Medium Sea Grey enamel and, with a bit of luck, I hope to get the Dark Green sprayed this evening.
Apologies for the poor quality photos, the lighting over the painting area isn't very good for photography.
PIC 1. The brass pitot tube from 'Master' was fitted into a pre-drilled hole, and fixed with a couple of spots of CA, blended around the hole.
PIC 2. As I lost one of the PE carb intake ice guards for the PR.IX, I've had to donate one from this build, so used the kit ice guards. As it turned out, these are more accurate in size and shape, even if they do lack the 'real' mesh of the Eduard PE guards.
PIC 3. The main gear assemblies were too awkward to mask with tape, which could also have caused damage to the brake lines and door guards, so they were wrapped in kitchen foil.
PICS 4 and 5. The Medium Sea Grey has been sprayed overall - Dark Green disruptive pattern for the upper surfaces is next.
If I can get the Dark Green done later, I'll post pics tonight.
Thanks again to all for the continued interest and encouragement, much appreciated now that I am officially an 'old age pensioner' !!
