Guillaume BlanchetThank you both. I didn't planned to add anything to the interior both as soon as I glued the first wire I got really into it and ended up playing with styrene until late in the evening.

JohnGreat work so far; I agree with Nathan - Mosquitos are fantastic aircraft. I am fortunate to live near a museum that houses KA114 and it is a treat to see them fly her on a regular basis.

Guillaume BlanchetThank you both.
John If you are talking about the Military Aviation museum in Virginia, I recall also seeing a lot of F-18 in Virginia Beach. Quite a fun place 🙂

JohnYes - the best part about that museum is that the majority of their planes are airworthy and they fly them regularly.

Guillaume BlanchetI'm almost ready to start to close the cockpit. Really enjoy my new oil paint kit although I still struggle to find the right amount of white spirit.

JohnI have found that unless the surface is absolutely smooth and glossy, I get the best results by putting a layer of white spirits on the area I am going to work on first, then apply the oils. I use a separate brush for pure oil paint and another one dabbed in white spirits for removal. I like working with oils because it is fairly forgiving to mistakes. Great work so far.

Guillaume BlanchetI'm done with the assembly & almost ready to paint the camouflage.

Guillaume BlanchetThanks you guys! It's a pretty big piece, I'll have a lot of space to practice oil weathering 🙂

Guillaume BlanchetThe model had been finished for 2 weeks now, but I was not lucky with the weather. Finally manage to do a final shoot of it.
It the first kit that I have used oil paint to do the weathering. I really enjoy the finished result.

Guillaume BlanchetTank you! Indeed it's a great kit to work on. I did needed a bit of putty, but not much.
