1/48 Mosquito NF.II / FB VI recommended for Tamiya

The De Havilland Mosquito was one of the RAF's most versatile aircraft during World War II - its wooden construction, high performance and ability to perform a variety of roles made it a machine that was useful as a night fighter, reconnaissance aircraft, bomber and fighter-bomber. The NF.II (Night Fighter Mk.II) variant was used for night interception and carried the AI Mk.IV airborne radar, while the FB.VI (Fighter-Bomber Mk.VI) was the most widely used combat version, deployed for precision strikes against ground targets, ships and trains throughout Europe. The dashboard of both variants was based on a common base - a typical British RAF analogue instrument cluster with dark crackle paint and white prints - while the NF.II had additional elements for radar work and dimmed lighting for night operations.

The 1:48 scale Yahu Model YMA4830 kit is a photo-etched instrument panel (photo-etched brass) designed for Tamiya kits covering the NF.II and FB.VI variants. The parts are pre-painted directly onto the metal, so dials, switches and labels are faithfully reproduced without the need for hand painting. JustStick technology means the parts are form-fitted to the Tamiya cockpit and assemble directly in place of the plastic original with minimal modification. The kit is designed exclusively for Tamiya kits.
