John1 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi folks, Looking for some feedback on a particular Mosquito, specifically VV-A, as shown below. I've always had a thing for Banff Mosquitoes, I find that part of the war to be pretty fascinating (and neglected by many). My question is - the few pics and profiles of VV-A all show this aircraft to be without rocket rails and underwing tanks. Is this accurate? I'm hoping it is because I really like the EDSG / Sky paint scheme. I always thought that by the time this scheme was introduced, RP's were a standard fitting. If this is the case, I can't build VV-A since there are no 32nd RP aftermarket kits out there. If no RP's, would VV-A have still occasionally been fitted with bomb racks or external tanks? If tanks, which size? Any info you folks can provide is most greatly appreciated. AlanG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob MDC Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Yes we do the Mk1and Mk3 rails for the Typhoon but we also have mounting stubs for the Mosquito so you can use the Mk3 rails on it. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Aviology do a set of markings for 333 Sq RNoAF who were attached to the Banff/Dalachy wings acting as outriders for the main attack force, and they didn't have RPs, this was a factor in me choosing to model their aircraft , I just couldn't bring myself to dill holes in £160 worth of Plastic!

Avialogy does some really nice stuff, unfortunately, most of their decals, including this one appear to be sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
