I got the base coat sprayed today. Next is camo.
Looks like I need to fill a seam.

I got the base coats and camo done. I have a few more little details to do then it is on to decals and final clear coat.

Nice work on the camo, I just decided to do some multi engine builds and this is one of the 4 kits I have in line in my stash. Looking at your build I feel inspired to do that kit first. I'm leaning towards the night fighter version since I've yet to do a night fighter.

This is a really nice kit. A small seam on fuselage and a slight fit issue on canopy are the only things a ran into.

Yep. I have a 1/32nd scale in my hobby stash. I may not live long enough to get it built! Lol. Way too busy with life and farming the homestead and keeping my wife happy.

OP: Great Work! It looks Awesome!

Be well.

Really love the build. Great paint job. Very inspiring. And I love the way you hung them on the wall. Plan to do the same. Great job!

Can you tell me how you masked in order to do your paint job. Did you buy a pre-printed mask, make your own mask, use putty, etc. Curious cuz I really enjoyed how you did it.
Thanks

All of my paint jobs, particularly the camo is done free hand. I look at a picture and then try to copy it. The only thing I mask is canopies.

Very well done. VERY well done!

The Mossy has always been a favorite of mine.

But I think it's a two-engine thing with me. ME110, Mitchell, etc., etc.

Be well. Model on.
