Big Bad 'Wolf' - Monogram 1/48 Mosquito


Recommended Posts

This is Monogram's venerable 1/48 Mossie done up as FB Mk. VI "Wolf" of 605 (County of Warwick) Squadron, 100 (Bomber Support) Group, flying from Bradwell Bay, Essex in late 1943.

According to Aeromaster's 48-552 "Mosquito Raiders V" sheet, the squadron flew in support of the Main Force Lancasters to counter the threat of German nightfighters. Wikipedia adds mention of intruder missions and 'Doodlebug'-tipping over the Channel and Southern England.

Nice! Prompted some interesting reading on the 'bomber support' role. Thanks. 🙂 

It did for me as well. The term 'Mosquito Panik' was one with which I was unfamiliar...but it adds yet another cool chapter to the 'Wooden Wonder's' amazing story.

Thanks to all for your kind words.

When was that? What do you remember of it?

Middle 1970s, I think and as I recall it was considered a very good kit at the time.
