Stripped down Mosquito MK IV 1/32

[Vic Balshaw]

After a long time overthinging pro and contra, I decided not making this model moveable, when I try to make even the smallest details visible, I can't stand the poor details voor de moveable parts

Wise decision.

Lovely work so far!

Deeeelish!

Just for the enthusiasts, how do you determine the right sizes and shapes?

Yep, these are 3 dimension sketches in the X, Y and Z axes, so a mess

For a year and a half I've been wondering why the parts look good separately, but once in the overall composition deviate so much, so I was always busy rescaling parts, but even then, the proportions were often not right and your parts went adapt or re-draw parts of it or redraw it entirely. You know, sometimes the solution or cause is so obvious that you don't see it and that was also the case here, when after the third version of the tail I suddenly saw what went wrong. In principle I only use 2 main drawings for the sketches and that went well I thought, until I suddenly saw that I did not keep the scale of the drawings the same, but adapted them to existing parts, which was therefore not entirely correct (all of this of course outside the standard deviations between the various drawings, because no one of all drawings is the same).
Great, it just meant that I could adjust the main wing again, adjust the distance between the various frames and the tail again, I still don't understand that I didn't aim this project in a digital waste incinerator for a long time. Anyway, it is slowly getting better and I can start to delve more and more into applying details and try out what is a good way to get the parts into 1 whole without everything being covered by the hull
So here's a few more pictures that are mostly already known.

All this stuff your doing is way beyond my abilities but a sure do love seeing what your doing.

Thanks man

Great perseverance there Bert. I'd have quit long ago and I'm with Vic on all that software stuff.

that I didn't aim this project in a digital waste incinerator for a long time.

Nobody in the world said that before.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far!

Well, I'm still struggling, I have now printed 80% for the Mossie, but either the resin is not immediately suitable for this or I have made an error somewhere in my exposure time, because the parts are brittle and warp relatively quickly.
But anyway, first a picture

Because everything is very small and vulnerable, I have given myself extra work, in other words I am going to build the landing gear factor 2, so a working model but then enlarged to sit next to the model, and I am also going to build the controls for rudder and altitude separately for teaching purposes. and the entertainment. But ......................because the resin parts did not cooperate AND I want to show that I still understand old-school scratching, so I decided to build a kind of hybrid model built, or at least busy with it

The engine bulkhead and the printed lower legs

The printed rib 4, but a self-made rib 3

If we combine parts (it will be big), we will have this as a basis
