Attack Squadron announced last year that they would be discontinuing such parts.

I heard that they sold that part of the business to Brengun.

Good morning Denford

I think that I have heard the same , I have searched in the Brengun Eshop but found nothing ..

 

I think that some company will produce a 2stage Merlin engine Mosquito soon  ..

Blackbird Models are working on improving their Two-Stage Mosquito Merlins, might be stocking them later this year.

Here are the old ones: https://www.blackbirdmodels.co.uk/mosquito-two-stage-engines-72-1290-p.asp

 

Paragon Designs Two-Stage Merlins sometimes appear on eBay but prices can be high.

I've got a pair by Pavla. Not sure if they are still available though.

The Pavla sets also keep appearing on eBay more frequently but as for accuracy goes they aren't long enough for Two-Stage Merlin Nacelles. Although for the price they appear at it's not too bad being the more available set despite its error.

What about the AirWaves ?

From my opinion they were the most accurate,, I have a pair lying around somewhere.

Good morning Occa

According to Scalemates https://www.scalemates.com/kits/airwaves-sc7256-two-stage-merlin-mosquito--1004470  

this set was designed for the old Airfix Mosquito  I am not sure it would fit for the Tamiya kit I plan to build ..

 

Cheers

I've had a set of Attack Squadron engines on order from HLJ for some months now, but as yet there's no sign of when (if ever) I might see them. If Blackbird comes out with a reasonable set in the meantime, HLJ will loose that order ...

Since Attack Squadron got out of the resin accessories business a year ago it is quite doubtful HLJ will ever get more...

Attack Squadron has been sold to Brengun, but the timeline of release is not know yet. I would bet they may put it off due to coming Special Hobby kits.

Anyway, the Blackbird Models conversion worked fine for me, here is the result (coupled with Tamiya kit). Even better if they're working on an improvent!

I certainly hope so.  It is well overdue.
