DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO
the cockpit of a Mosquito.
Thankfully, though, I would
never have to do it for real.
The 1964 film, while certainly
not Oscar-bothering stuff, did
give a hint as to the incredibly
dangerous low-level missions
‘Mossie’ crews had to fly.
When most people think of the
Mosquito, they see it speeding
down a high-walled Norwegian
fjord, with the aim of ‘smacking’
enemy shipping.
Many modellers of a certain age
will undoubtedly state Airfix’s
artwork for Mosquito boxings as
being some of the most inspiring.
Artist Roy Cross was a genius
and knew exactly how to depict
this famous and powerful twin;
running the gauntlet of Me
262s, unloading rockets on a
tricky ground target, a Molins
Gun-toting ‘Tsetse’ braving a wall
of flak…all guaranteed to get the
creative juices flowing.
In kit terms, the mighty
Mosquito has been relatively well
served, but only in recent years
have we enjoyed very large and
highly detailed examples, such as
Airfix’s thumping 1/24 Superkit,
and Tamiya’s superlative 1/32
offering…both of the ‘sporty’
FB.VI.
This latest volume in Airfix
Model World’s Scale Modelling
series embraces these kits, along
with three others, and our build
contributors achieve stellar
results in their projects. Whether
it’s airbrushing and weathering,
scratch-building or making
the most of the aftermarket to
embellish a Mosquito model and
ensure heightened detail, this
bookazine is for you.
And due to the inclusion of
superb history features, from
aviation history luminaries Dana
Bell, Terry Higgins and Malcolm
V Lowe, one has a truly rounded
and vital reference resource.
I hope you enjoy reading and
using this volume as much as we
enjoyed editing it.
Now go build that Mossie!
I
f one war film theme grabs me
like no other, it’s that of 633
Squadron. It’s simply the best.
If I’m in my car and listening to
Classic FM, and Ron Goodwin’s
stirring score hits the airwaves,
I’m immediately transported to
