NAVY870 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 A long time shelf sitter of mine is a Tamiya B.IV that I adapted a set of Paragon two stage donks onto in an attempt to make the most appealing of the type, the PR.XVI I managed to shatter the canopy when putting the side inserts in and attempts to gain a replacement didnt happen, so it was banished to the big box of doom. A recent purchase of the Airfix PR.XVI gives me a spare canopy and bulged bomb bay that seem to fit the Tamiya kit reasonably well. The down side is I haven't been able to find marking for a B.XVI or heading off on another tack, converting it into a B.35. Cant find decals for those either. What info I have is a 35 was basically the same externally but with a different aerial fit out, correct? Any pointers on markings would be greatly appreciated.

The wooksta V2.0 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Aeromaster did a Mosquito sheet with three B.35s on it. There's a photo of 3 B35s of 139 Sqn in PJ Birtles "Mosquito: The Illustrated History", p.172, two in overall aluminium dope, one in Med Sea Grey over Night with the high demarcation. Post war roundels and just code letters. Spartan perhaps, but still beautiful. Elsewhere on this site, Jon-Kunac-Tabinor did this stunning model from the same kit: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/25159-dehavilland-mosquito-b35-148th-scale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd forgotten about that one - and I've got two or three of the 72nd version tucked away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAVY870 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Bought the Freightdog set, now I'll have to go get another Airfix kit to do that lovely PR34 on the sheet. Thanks for the assist Gents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
