PlamoSnep Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'm sitting on a Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito and was wondering what good Mosquito references were out there either in print or online for areas like the cockpit, landing gear bays, gun bay, etc.? Are there any ones I should avoid because they are upgraded to modern standards and not original equipment? Is "The De Havilland Mosquito" by Richard Franks worth the investment?

PhilHoff Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hello, This book is really good from a modeller standpoint (the best I know) : Some reasonably priced used copies appear to be available through Amazon.

Hi, PM me your home address, and the book mentioned by Philippe will be on its way to you. I used to have the Tamiya Mosquito, bought the book, but sold the kit eventually, so actually i think you could make better use of it. And welcome to this "crazy" bunch...... cheers, Jack Edited January 2 by Jack MARU5137, Kagemusha, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The Valiant book on the FB series is an awesome reference. I used it extensively when I did my Mossie build last year. PlamoSnep, MARU5137 and Uncarina 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
