Hello my friends! Last weekend I was promoted to the capitan rank and I a little chaned my nickname. I just start new project, last from Frantic build for couple of time. Kit looks pritty good but on very beginning I found missing G3 part. I’m upset. This mosquito was recon plane so a lot of holes for cameras need to be drilled. I used small set of PE belts.

A well deserved promotion, Bernard @lis
Looks like an amazing kit, except for the missing part, hope you are able to scratch build that one.

That is a real pity, Bernard @lis
I guess you are not able to return it to the hobby store.
Hope you can find a resin radio as replacement.

Work with cockpit. I set decal on IP pannel and next decal dissapired. I don’t know how. So I painted IP pannel by brush.

@johnb I checked kit after I recived parcell, but I missed that this part are missing. The edge of the unfilled plastic was so smooth that it looked like nothing was supposed to be there so I opened the plastic bags. Well, Airfix unfortunately has various mishaps on the corner. I think Academy has the least of them in my area.

PS. I purchase set of various resin radios. Mabye sth will be simillar.

Hey- I would be happy to scratch build you a radio if you sent me the dimensions of the box that fits in the location. give it to me in mm.
I know your kit is 1/72, but I have 1/48 PR.XVI Mossie kits, so can use photos and the kit part to do a convincing job for you. No charge- I have had plenty modellers help me over the years, glad to help.
The photo of the sprue looks like that one part out of the whole kit was short shot somehow!

Excellent progress, my friend @lis!

@fxrob Felix, unfortunately it happened to me several times that an Airfix kit was missing or broken. Usually, I can repair broken parts, but missing parts - oh well. I drilled four holes. Small ones 1,5mm has suspender to drill. Larger 3,2mm hole need to be drilled without any tools.Mabye I made wrong angel during drilling or sth like this. Finally I Putty and sand smooth hole with clear part, and polish by polish compound from Tamiya

@danfrombermuda it's very nice of you to want to help. As I wrote, I ordered a set of different radio stations, maybe something will fit, but if nothing fits, I will be happy to use your help.

@johnb Fuslege closed very well. Without any putty and CA Glue. I'm quite glad with effect. Sitll waiting for resin Radio.

@fiveten Nice fit gives fast progress 🙂
