Mosquito, Mosquito...

All lovely stuff :wub:

What's going on with the exhausts on the prototype? Also, is there any chance of an underneath shot to show the short nacelles?

I really look forward to these updates. My favorite plane by my favorite resin caster at my favorite scale

Looks like my order will be Hi-ball & tse tse now Are they all based on the same kit? If so, which one, so I can stock up & start gathering other AM stuff together? :cheers:

I had read somewhere that the original exhaust arrangement had each side collected into a header and piped somewhere aft in the nacelles, this photo shows no exhaust in the usual position and is different to the prototype's arrangement as it is now at the museum:

Yup, what Robert said, the Prototype exhausts were collected together and exited through one outlet slightly below and behind the production type arrangement.

The 1/72 and 1/48 Highballs are used on the Tamiya B Mk.IV's, the 1/72 and 1/48 FB XVIII Molins are used on the Tamiya FB VI kits.
