A question for all Mosquito Experts:
Is there any visible difference between a FB VI and a canadian built FB26. I know the FB 26 had Packard engines and Canadian equipment, but is anything of this visible?
Thanks for your help in advance

There are a few small differences in the cockpit instrumentation that will be visible in 1/24 (or in 1/48 for the dental mirror brigade) but beyond that the differences are all in the paint.

Mk 26 had prop with three broad blades and exposed five stub exhausts not the shrouded exhausts of the FB VI. There was a single wire going from the mast to mid point of the fin on the FB VI, on the MK 26 there were two wires I think going from the mast to each tail plane. That is all I think that you have to worry about.
