Stripped down Mosquito MK IV 1/32

Just a quick update, although I'm busy again. Had a one-week course away from home last week, so no time to do anything. On Saturday I filed the already printed nose smooth because I am not as good at drawing as I thought, and I immediately printed out and cleaned the stabilizer surfaces again. Now that I work with the standard resin I have fewer problems with distortion and it feels much harder, so easier to work with

So just a picture of the parts, the tail wheel was three parts



and the nose





The cockpit floor is there to give an impression of what the whole thing will look like

And been busy with the flaps on BB




I'm now working on drawing some more details in the cocpit and then I think I'll have it printed out as much as possible as 1 section, it's a bit "easier" than old school work, but don't underestimate the time I needed to draw everything purely based on photos and sketches
 
Very cool Bert. One thing though, there would have been composite plates screwed to the floor stiffeners (yellow areas below) for the pilot to rest his heel on and prevent damage to the aileron trim cables running through the stiffeners. The red area had a leather boot to protect brake line tubing there. I didn't draw the red quite right as it would extend back arund the control column.


 
Agree with Vic
These details I had never seen on my reference material (I must admit, I only look at the pics while reading englisch is not really my second love )But therefor Iam happy with remarks and improvements to mmy model.

I hope I will finished it this year, so I can start a new project, maybe aside the Mossieproject I will built a OOB StuGIII 1/16
 
I've been working on the printer again this weekend, it didn't always go well, but that also has to do with the fact that I place the prints incorrectly and then distortion can occur, not that bad, but it's still 4 hours later. . Anyway, I did the IP, the cockpit almost complete and the seat. Also a connecting piece for the wing and tail

Well, first the IP, photos are not of the best quality, but you have been used to that from me for years, right?





The cockpit, I still have to update some things, but for example the rod from stick to the controls is 0.2 mm thick





Let's see if I'm still working on the 1/32 scale, so I asked John Wallace to join us for a moment.



Well, it's still a bit of a struggle isn't it

and the connection between tail and wing, something like this must also be done at the top to obtain a strong backbone



And yes, with 5 cats and 12 dogs you can't avoid the hair here and there
 
Great attention to detail. The little vertical cylinder on the back of the instrument panel is the hydraulic buffer unit which dampens pressure fluctuations in the landing gear circuit. I just installed it on ours!
