That Ju-88 is beautiful! I hope for him. I like your painting work, I was watching your boats, I love seeing what you do. I admire how you build several projects at the same time, I would do some things with so many things that I would not know where to go next.

Thanks, Sergio!
With so many good models, sometimes the problem is not to do all of them at the same time

Anyway, the Mosquito already is shaped as a plane.
In the first picture, you can see some of the other planes ready to made: an Albatross DV, a Me 262, a Spitfire, an another Me 262 instead of the Ju-88 I would swore was there.

Anyway, the third picture shows the decals and the plastic rockets that I'll install in the model.

Nice Mosquito there Alejandro!

Very well done Alejandro, that mosquito looks very good and the FW impeccable, and I tell you that I love your painting work. And I see that you will be quite busy putting together and painting all that, except the Albatros.Very good job!

Thanks, Elliot, Thanks, Sergio!
After some research I found that the Mosquitos with "glass nose" where bombers or photo-reconnaissance, but they didn't carried machine guns, external bombs or rockets.
So I changed from the MK IV "glass nose" that I was assembling and converted it to a MK VI with four 20 mm cannon in the forward half of the bomb bay and four .303 machine guns in the nose. The guns where made with grass.
Next came the engines. As you can see, one is assembled and the other is half-made. Thesilver circles under the wings are the landing lights, they rotated down when necesary.
I found two plastic external tanks and four belly cannons, but they belonged to a Beaufighter and didn't fit in the Mossie.

Great work Alejandro, the canopy and weapons are very good. And now with that gray the Mosquito will look great.

Ok, I finished the second engine, assembled one propeller and almost completed the paint.
There are some interesting points:
1) The main doors need a cut where the carburator air intake goes.
2) I started assembling the Mk IV model. I switched to the Mk VI model, so the camouflage is almost the same... just inverted. I mean, right wingtip green instead of grey, inner side of the engines grey instead of green and so on.
3) I recicled some decals from a Mosquito, the identification belonging to a MK XVIII, but you need to be a detallist (like me) to see it.
4) The propeller can rotate and I changed the original model to make them more realistic. Both propeller must turn to the left
5) In the "family picture" the left ones are paper, the right ones plastic.
I hope to finish the airplane next weekend!
