My second was painted according to a more sophisticated scheme I came across in the few remaining photographs of the existing prototypes.

  1. This Moskito looks amazing as well, Rafi @blackmopane
    Great work on the camo.

  2. Great work yet again on this one Rafi! Where did you get your references from? I've got one in "the stash" and this makes me want to build it...

    • Thank you, Ian.
      I got most reference photographs from the web. There are at least two photographs of this aircraft found in a forest dispersal that does not leave much room for the "modeler's imagination"..

  3. Another excellent Moskito, Rafi!
    Superb painting!

  4. It's sad, how good this kit could have been if Monogram hadn't been run by the beancounters who know the price of everything and the value of nothing back then.

    Good work on resuscitating it. Looks good.

  5. Bravo, Rafi @blackmopane. Your Moskito looks absolutely killer. I guess you know the molds originated with Dragon/DML. The Promodeler Revell boxing had some issues particularly a drooping main wing. I had to get out the hair dryer and make a jig to achieve an acceptable dihedral. The props are wrong as well and I substituted a Cutting Edge correction set. However DML later issued a Moskito 3 in 1 kit that is much better than the Promodeler offering. No warpage. I still have one left in the stash that I intend to build minus those fiddly antennas like you did. Imagine how much fun it must be to construct those antennas using a PE fret which I recall DML included in their boxing?

  6. Well done, Rafi. Exceptional paint job

  7. Good looking bird, and that camo scheme is nice.

  8. Well done - a fine looking Moskito!
