Hi fellows:

As I promised in my previous thread of my Moosie here I´m posting some pics as it is now.
The canopy is broken and I´m waiting the arrival of a Falcon Models Canopy set wich contains among others the one for this bird.
Decaling and mate coat are finished. Gral weathering and some minor details are resting. Hope you like them. Coments will be appreciated.
Here is the beast:

Hi Carlos.
Looks great! That preshading worked out nice.
What did you do to that poor canopy?
Look on the brightside,,think of all those 1/72 planes you can make while your waiting for it to arrive :-)
Hope the photos from Hendon helped.

Thank you Nigel.
Of course your pics of Hendon helped, specially when puting together the landing gears, they helped in understanding how the real thing is.

I believe that I will finish at least three 1/72 kits until having the canopy with me.

That is an outstanding Mosquito, Carlos!
One thing though... The propellers look awkward in that position. maybe hav one offset from another instead of parallel like that.

A beautiful plane and well built Carlos. It would be a shame to cover the cockpit with a canopy.
Are you planning on having any figures or vechiles in the dio, as i think it would add to the overall scene.

Looking very good Carlos, a real pity about the canopy. I've not broken mine but I spent along time masking the framing on the inside. I'm now held up because I managed to get the undercarriage broken when I took it to a show I must get it back together so I can finish it

Thanks Andy:

I´m planing to add a tractor and several oil drums to the scene but no figures.

Looks great Carlos. I look forward to seeing it all the way done.

I hope the giant monster in picture #7 never attacks it :-) .

Hi Leon. Thanks.
Here you have the giant mosnter (Ulises), I belive that if he doesn´t change his general attitude there´s no risk for the Moosie. :-) :-) :-)
