Sandeha Lynch Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 This is a cast and machined solid brass Mosquito, which I believe was made by RAF apprentices at either Northolt or the Uxbridge School of Education where my dad was CO around 1950. It's 205x163mm and weighs 560g. IMGP9449a by Sandeha Lynch, on Flickr What's your considered opinion - is it a generic Mossie model, or are there any indications to suggest it's most likely to be 'x' version rather than 'y'?

Troy Smith Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 It's got a bomber/PR windscreen, the fighter screen is flat, looks to be the single stage engines, so closest is a B.IV or PR.IV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandeha Lynch Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 That sounds good, Troy - and Tamaya have a 1/72. Thanks !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paws4thot Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I agree with Troy about the windscreen and nacelles, but the nose cone looks more like a (N(F)B) one to me. OTOH it doesn't seem to have any transverse flat surfaces other than the radiator intakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
