I am looking for some help, I want to build a late model Mosquito, but replace the engines with the counter rotating ones from a later model Spitefire or a Wyern. I am not finding them in 1/72, can you suggest manufacturers and just which versions am I looking for?

Mmmm, an interesting idea You will need a Seafire FR 47 for the contra rotating props, but I couldn't tell you who makes one in 1/72. I think that Trumpeter do the Wyvern, but that would be a different ball game to convert a Mossie to house those engines. I'd be interested to see the outcome
