Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hello As the new Tamiya kit is coming out and it's the only Mosquito version I like. Is the HAYNES DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO 194 - BRIAN RIVAS JONATHAN FALCONER (HARDCOVER) a good book to have? I have the Sam publications book on the way as the two Squadron signal books in the library! Also is the Aero Detail 23 De Havilland Mosquito also a good choice to? http://www.amazon.com/De-Havilland-Mosquito-Aero-Detail/dp/4499226953 Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urs Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I got the Aero Detail Mosquito - and in my oppinion that line of books is as must have for any plastic modeller. Aero Detail line is out of print and if you get access to one to that low price - take it. Edited April 27, 2015 by Urs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 i have just ordered this book from Wing Leader - they have a second volume on Mossie Bomber Squadrons coming out soon apparently http://www.wingleader.co.uk/shop/mosquito-in-focus-fighter-squadrons/ I'll let you know if it is any good Vandy 1 VX 4 and Alburymodeler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 FWIW, I have the book Mosquito Fighter Squadrons from the In Focus series. It is laced with photos supplemented by 12 color profiles. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in Mosquito fighter operations. Mark Proulx Vandy 1 VX 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Seem to have a colossal Mosquito library here, but nothing too anatomical like the Haynes 'Owners Manual' or the Mosquito Fighter Squadrons book - Mark, is that the Osprey soft back ? Have the FB.VI kit on pre-order with HLJ sight unseen, but looking forward to seeing pics of the gear from the Shizuoka hobby fair mid-May. Having not built any Tamiya 1/32 props I'm curious as to what is usually included as 'extras', or not as the case may be. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Tony, the book Mosquito Fighter Squadrons is published by Wingleader as part of their In Focus series. It is soft cover and no relationship to Osprey. The book is filled with operational details about the aircraft detailing each squadron that operated it. There is good photo coverage and color profiles. However, if you want to detail a specific area of your model, this book wouldn't help.

LSP_K2 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 For whatever it may be worth, Squadron/Signal also does a Mosquito walk around book. Used in conjunction with the Aero Detail and SAM books, it should answer most detail questions I'd think. SAM also does (or did) an interesting book on RAF markings for the Mosquito. Obviously there are many, many other books, but to me, these are some of the highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
