I
swore a long time ago that once I got proficient enough in lightwave I was
going to do the plane that played such a major role in my grandfathers life.
I'm hoping that time has come. This is going to be a pictoral journal of
the mossie as I build her. Constructed almost totally of wood, she was light
and agile. Two huge motors on the wings made it as fast , if not faster
than most fighters of the era. In some models the bomb capacity rivaled
that of the much bigger and slower B-17. |

About
6 hours into it now. I still might end up redoing the fuselage but I'll
throw a texture on it first to see how it renders first. In case some maintenance
is required on the props.. the spinner comes off so the Hub can be seen. |

Well,
the weekend was a washout for getting any modelling done but I plunged back
at it tonight. Upto 13 hours into her and time for another update. Finished
the tail assembly and moved on to the fuselage. Do you know how hard it
is to find decent photos of the TOP of a mossie!? I'm modeling
in the majority of the major details and panel lines. I'm not totally happy
with the canopy but it will work for now. Noticed a window needs to be fixed
too. Finished the <ahem> business end of it. 48,808 polys and counting. |

Array added and also made the bomb bay doors functional. |
