@clipper, thank you, Carl. I think your approach would even be better because it creates the look of a real light bulb.

@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros

@tcinla, thank you, Tom. I read similar kind of stories about Guy Gibson. Peter Jackson's movie would have been a very interesting one indeed. I'm going to try and find this book by Sir Max, I would love to read it.

Hi John (@johnb). Navigation lights are always a problem for me. If they are just part of the wing's gray plastic, I usually just paint them red and green and then add a coating of clear gloss. If the kit provides the clear plastic for the light, then I try to figure out what type of wingtip light the plane used. Some had clear covers and used color lights, while others had colored plastic and used clear covers.

@gblair, @clipper, thanks for sharing your experiences, very helpful for further builds.

This Mosquito has turned out really very nice John (@johnb). The weathering looks suitably restrained and makes for an interesting appearance. Well done.

Wash looks great, my friend @johnb!

Just to add my comments, Carl is absolutely right in his comment on nav-lights. Luckily some manufacturers are finally making the lights available as clear parts just like the ones used here. And indeed it is quite a puzzle to find out if the particular aircraft had clear or coloured glass or bulbs. Research with a nice cup of your favourite brew will do the trick

The Mossie is looking great - perhaps as you say a little less on the starboard wing, but all in all it is a grand weathering John!

And finally some progress again, not that much, but at least I'm on the move again.

In the last couple of weeks we had some house constructions ongoing. Removed the carpet, including the carpet monster I hope, from the second floor and replaced it with laminate. Still one room to complete but at least my workbench is accessible again.

Started this evening with the final steps on the Mosquito, placing the antenna struts. Next, and likely the final step, will be a layer of flat coat and applying the antenna wire.

Glad to see you working on this one again, John (@johnb). Antenna posts are evil, so I am glad yours are done. Now you have the evil antenna wire to deal with, but you always make their application look easy.
