Sold out
• Precise high-resolution production, based on both primary source technical documentation and careful interpretation of the photographic record.
• Also includes 4 R/P rounds with correct fins and saddles for double-tiered carriage on late-war Coastal Command Mosquitoes of the Banff Strike Wing.
• Four 8.5 x 11in. pages of documentation with photographs, period technical documentation outtakes, finishing notes, and clear scale illustrations.**
*Both parts make-up and detail representation may be handled differently in each scale due to practical size and final assembly considerations.
**High resolution b&w supplied in the package. Home-printable colour PDF versions available via email after purchase.
Usage scope:
• Mosquito FB.VI CF (Coastal Fighter) aircraft of the Banff Strike Wing – 143, 235, 248, 404, and 489 (after VE Day) Squadrons – from early March 1945. For example, in 1/24 scale, this is the correct loadout for both FB.VI CF aircraft represented in the big Airfix kit’s current (2016) boxing, and for those represented in a number of other aftermarket decal sets, including our own AOD24011 (404 Sqn Mosquitoes) and some of the subjects in our forthcoming AOD24023 (Banff Strike Wing Mosquitoes).

• Under-wing stub fairings of the correct shape.
• Drop tank jettisoning guard rail & strut-work assemblies.
• 4 pairs (front and rear) No 4 upper Saddles (attaches rocket bodies to beams) and to each other).
• 4 pairs of front and rear No 4 lower Saddles (attaches rocket bodies to each other).
• 4 sets of No 1 fins (for the upper four rockets).
• 4 sets of No 2 fins (slotted, for the lower four rockets).
• Bonus items – underwing radio altimeter aerials (AYD / AYF as installed on all late-war Coastal Command Strike Wing Mosquito FB.VI’s) and 100 gallon drop tank mounting “horns” (visible when the tanks are not present).
• complete fabrication, assembly, and finishing instructions.
