RCAF Mosquitoes - 418 Sqn Intruders
New Releases in 1/24 and 1/32 scale - plus full airframe stencil data markings options
Aircraft covered in this set are:
* Mosquito FB.VI HJ719 as aircraft TH*U, "Moonbeam McSwine", F/L "Lou" Luma (USAAF) and F/O Colin Finlayson, Holmsey South, early-mid 1944.
* Mosquito FB.VI HR147 as aircraft TH*Z, "Hairless Joe", W/C Russell Bannock and F/O Robert Bruce (RAF), Hunsdon, mid-late 1944.
* Mosquito FB.VI NS850 as aircraft TH*M, "Black Rufe", S/L Robert Kipp and F/O Peter Huletsky, Holmsey South, mid-1944.
* Mosquito SZ976 as aircraft TH*V, "Amigo Panchito", S/L Vic Cherry (a Texan in the RCAF) and various navigators, Coxyde, Belgium (2 TAF airfield B.71) and Volkel, Netherlands (2 TAF airfield B.80) spring 1945.

 In these new iterations of RCAF Mosquitoes, Aviaeology’s  have taken the opportunity to introduce reconsidered interpretations of the "Hairless Joe" nose art - specifically the colour of the character's hair, and whether or not he had a "comb-over". Due to the legacy of the original artwork in previously released versions of this set, the mottled grey hair still remains, while the new colouring and "comb-over" are handled with overlay decals. The set's Docs have been updated accordingly.
  
1/72 and 1/48 scale modellers are also taken care of. Registered owners of these smaller-scale sets wanting to model the latest interpretation of the "Hairless Joe" artwork should send in a return-postage prepaid, self-addressed envelope to receive the overlay decals and updated Docs. Claims for which there is no corresponding ownership registration in Aviaeology’s  system will not receive a response.

In addition to the usual decal placement guide for each subject aircraft, the Docs portion of this package features photographs of each aircraft, configuration and detailed finish scheme notes, and an illustrated article on modelling the wing bomb ordnance as it evolved on Intruder-tasked FB.VI's. As usual in these Aviaeology Decals 'n Docs packages, a B&W hardcopy is included in the polybag with the decals, and a full colour PDF is emailed once your order has shipped.

Mosquito airframe stencil / data markings - New Releases in 1/24 and 1/32 scale
1/48 and 1/72 scale will be available in late June - early July

This set provides the usual thorough Aviaeology coverage, complete with variations on some of the common markings as discovered during research. Detail you big-scale Mosquito fully and completely. The 1/24 scale set takes up a full-height decal sheet!

   Although designed as a result of the research done during the work-up of Aviaeology’s  Mosquito FB.VI Decals 'n Docs sets, and therefore optimized for gun-nosed Mosquitoes, with the possible exception of the nose area, most of the markings supplied here are also fully compatible with bomber nosed versions of the aircraft.
