Very little progress on the Breguet for the time being...

Lot of work to do ; I prefer to progress slowly so I will have more time to spend on the Mossie...

I dislike to mask some canopies, like the one of the Zero or the Hurricane... or that Mossie !
Really time-consuming and bad for my nerves. 
So, I've made the job on three stages 

Ready to paint now !

Finally, I've taken the time needed to sand the parts.

A second application of putty (grey this time) was necessary for the back of the engine nacelles...

...But I want also represent Skut/Szut near his plane !!!
Re-reading the comic book, you can see that its flying suit is a mix of different actual ones...
I've taken in my spare box two pilots from Hasegawa : a German one and an American one. I just to exchanged both heads, then I made in a tiny and very fine piece of plastic card the headband of Skut, because his is a one-eyed pilot.

(The other pilot will be used later for a "what-if" project...)

Piotr Skut (aka "Szut" in the French version of Tin Tin comic "The Red Sea Sharks" ("Coke en stock" in French) was a mercenary flying for the Khemed Air Force on board of a monoplace (!) Mosquito. He was shot down by Tin Tin but they became friends.

RetroSF have released a conversion set to build a Khemedian Mosquito from the Tamiya one, at 1/72 scale.

After having removed all the parts from sprues (some friends here in Belgium call that method "my salad of plastic"), I've modified the cockpit interior to transform the biplace version into a monoplace one, moving the transmetter and the receiver.

I'm actually thinking how to add some stuff behind the pilot'seat...

And here is the final result.

Faeye Valentine was painted with AK 3G acrylics only.

To be noted that the figure is a miniature copy of Emilie, a friend of mine !!! I will offer her that figure, of course
