PM 1/72 TA-154 Moskito
Hi All,
Here is my PM Models TA-154, a kit that I really enjoyed building, probably as I was prepeared for being a bit of work. It definitley needs lots of test fitting, sand paper, plastic card and the occaisional filler.
I bulked up the engine nacelles by wrapping 10 thou plastic around them, and replaced the engine intakes with a couple of scratch-built ones. Also added the overhead window for the rear crewman, and extended the cockpit rearwards as the rear guy sat under/in the leading edge.
The canopy was surprisingly good, and polished up really well.
A spurious scheme and decals form the spares, with some home made prop blurs, and she was done, a very enjoyable build, or maybe I'm odd...
Odd? Clearly a personal modeling style, I like it!
The prop blurs look quite effective, how did you get the prop "shadows", airbrushing? In which color?
Thanks Martin, I use a mask/stencil for airbrushing the blurs, and use highly thinner acrylic black. That way I can go lightly and build up the density to something I like. Cheers

Having attempted that kit many years ago I know what you were working with and I'd say you did a bang up job on that one.
Thanks very much Tim, I really apreciate it. It was a very enjoyable build, I think because I was expecting it to be a job of work..
Cheers
Jim
A very good build!
