Mosquito part III

Slow progress is being made on the Airfix 1/24 mosquito. Prominent sink marks are present on the wing trailing edge and the radio ledge at the rear of the cockpit. The moulded on wiring was removed and the sink marks highlighted in green were filled. Lead wire will be used to replace the kit wiring.

RB Productions has released photo etch replacements for the kit radiators and are shown below.

There is noting wrong with the Airfix parts which are moulded with good relief but I wanted to give the photo etch a try. The kit parts and photo etch are shown for comparison.

These are the complete radiators. Vallejo Steel was a good match for the photo etch and was used to paint the supports on the kit parts. Allan Gates
