Tamiya's 1/32 scale
de Havilland Mosquito FB.VI

by Brett Green

Tamiya's 1/32 scale Mosquito FB.VI is available online from Squadron

This is Tamiya's magnificent 1/32 scale Mosquito FB.Mk.VI.

I built the model straight from the box with no additions or alterations.

The model really is a work of art, with the cockpit, the equipment bay and the canopy being the highlights for me. In my opinion, this is Tamiya's best 1/32 scale aircraft kit to date - just fabulous.

Please note that the undercarriage legs, gear doors, equipment bay doors, wing tanks, exhaust shrouds, canopy, cowlings and gun bay cover are not glued in place.

I have already partially dismantled the model in preparation for handing it over to Chris Wauchop, who will refinish it in a different configuration and camouflage scheme.

This model will be covered in minute detail with hundreds of photos describing construction and painting plus hints and tips in the forthcoming book, "How to Build Tamiya's 1:32 Mosquito FB.VI", due out by mid-August.

You may pre-order the book now.

Thanks to Tamiya for the review sample
