1:72 Mosquito FB Mk.VI / NF Mk.II cockpit set

Aires Mosquito FB Mk.VI / NF Mk.II cockpit set 1:72 (resin detail set)

This item is not an aircraft kit but an Aires resin accessory set in 1:72 scale. It serves to replace the cockpit of a plastic kit of the British de Havilland Mosquito multirole aircraft, specifically the FB Mk.VI fighter-bomber version and the NF Mk.II night fighter version. It contains finely cast resin interior parts. The set is meant for more experienced modelers.

The real subject

The de Havilland Mosquito was a British twin-engine multirole aircraft of the Second World War with a largely wooden structure. The FB Mk.VI version carried out fighter-bomber tasks and the NF Mk.II was a night fighter. The crew of two sat side by side. The aircraft made its name for speed and versatility.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin parts to remove the mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and bond them with super glue. The interior is painted with an airbrush, and the instruments and the levers are brought out with a wash and a dry brush. Check how the assembly seats in the cockpit before the fuselage is closed.

Who the set is for

• For modelers building the Mosquito FB Mk.VI or NF Mk.II in 1:72
• For more experienced builders used to resin
• For a realistic cockpit on a display model

This is an accessory, not a complete model. The base kit, glue, paints and other parts are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
