In fact, I use conventional techniques. As long as you can accurately cut the parts, I think you can also achieve the same perfection, or even better.

By the way, regarding the shortcomings of this model, there is a noticeable distortion in the design of this model, as there is no extension of the wing root towards the rear between the trailing edge flaps and the fuselage.

Fantastic work on this Mosquito.
Great photos too.

Hi Draco,
This may be a coincidence. I just saw a brand new brand launch a new model, which happened to be a Mosquito fighter with a glass nose.

Not a fighter. They cam in B. FB. PR. T versions.

Glazed nose indicates a B series.

Sorry for my momentary negligence, of course she is a bomber.

Great build! The seam joints are perfect. But shouldn't gun barrels be the color of "Gun metall"?

Hi Grekmeister,
Actually, I have tried to paint the barrel with gun metal, but I found that this would make the interlaced holes less noticeable and even invisible. So I used lighter silver to cover the darker color, which better highlighted the black of those holes.

I use dry pigment for this. This is not paint. He doesn't score anything

Wonder if you would try Aaron Murphy's Mossies that have only 5 formers for the fuselage, certainly not as meticulous as Polish papermodels. Here's the link of my work, using photoprint paper. https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/555031-post38.html

I think it's even more challenging during the build process - how to make it look good!
