Monogram Mosquito 1/48

Recommended Posts

Recently built the Monogram 1/48 Mosquito as the B MK IV using the kit decals.  The instructions say it was brown and green so that is how I painted it.  Looking at pics on the web I don't see any mosquitos painted brown/green, all gray and green.  Too late for me now but it has been bugging me.  Was the mosquito ever brown and green?  tia

A very few early ones were Dark Green / Dark Earth over Sky undersides - the standard RAF day bomber scheme of the time. But only a very few.

Some others later on were painted Dark Green / Dark Earth over Night undersides with high fuselage demarcation lines - the standard RAF night bomber scheme of the time.

 

Grey and green camouflage was more common: but there were many other Mosquito schemes too - including all yellow, all blue, all black, all painted aluminium, Extra Dark Sea Grey over Sky, and additional disruptive-pattern camo schemes to the ones I've mentioned.
