Mosquito 2-Stage Bomber 1/48


Recommended Posts

Tamiya base kit, aftermarket 2-stage Merlin engines (Jason Chatwin's original castings, recently reproduced by Brengun -BRL48124).  Resin conversion pieces were great.  Needed an in-flight bomber Mosquito to keep my FB in-flight Mosquito company on my work desk.

 

Fun conversion, learned some valuable lessons in re-scribing and once again realized I need to improve my canopy masking.  

Prop Blur props utilized.

Aeromaster 48-552 markings corrected for ML907 (HS-B, not GB-B as the markings state).  Pilot and Nav figure in there if you can see them.  I realized on this build just how much cockpit work you don't see when you close up the fuselage.  

 

Cheers

Collin

I really enjoyed this posting as I have literally six sets of two-stages and no energy to build the PR.34 I have on the shelf. 


Brengun got the shape “right” and to my eyes it has the bulk of the original. I am not sure why the fasteners were not included but all-in-all it looks every bit the part. Beautiful build!

A lovely build Collin, it was probably the scale why I missed it the first time around, I mainly do 1/72 models, in aircraft anyway but it is always a treat to view a nicely done build in any scale & this is definitely a nicely done build. :)
