Hi.
I'm thinking about doing a Swedish J-30 Mosquiot which is a Mosquito XIX in 1/48 scale.

I know there isn't any ready kit of this version in this scale, but is it possible to convert Tamiyas Mk.XIII/XVII kit to a XIX? And if so, who makes the neccisary conversion parts?

Thankful for answer.

I have seen kit reviews say the Tamiya kit XIII can easily be made into a XIX, apparently just by changing the wingtips and props.

This may help



This is what you need for the Airfix 1/72 & 1/48 and the Revel 1/32 Mosquito

Looking at the drawing all you would need to do

4 blade prop
landing light in leading edge of wing
the rest is in the kit

If you into Mosquitos get the book Modellers Datafile

Sorry for taking up an very old thread, but I thought it would be better then making a new post.

Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket company that makes 4 blades props for Tamiyas Mosquito? Have searched my normal sources but no luck, so now I thought I would try you guys!

There used to be a set from Paragon Designs. It doesn't seem to be in production these days, but you may be able to find it on Evil-bay or at swap meets.

Hannants have the props but only 1/72 scale.

Airfix released their 1/72 kit as a J.30 in 1995.
