Hi fellows:

I´m thinking in build this kit and have the chance to purchse at a very good price. Does somebody can tell me if this is a good kit, have fit or shape problems. I know this is a reboxing of the Hasegawa kit and I read somewhere that it is not an easy build, is this true? Did someone of you guys build it ?

Hi fellows:

Nobody knows this kit ???

I found this review, hope its of some help.

I've just re-read a build article in an old copy of Scale Aviation Modeller International from February 2000. The builders only main problem was aligning the separate front of the engine nacelles with the section attached to the wing underside. You should note that some areas are not as well detailed as the Tamiya example. The undercarriage legs lack their guards, the radio and instrument panel lack any detail, just a decal for the latter. There may also be a problem with the canopy. I'm unable to get to the example I have in my stash but if I recall it is split vertically, fore and aft, which leaves a seam right though the roof escape hatch.

Thanks Thiazi & Geoff !
The review of the Revell kit didn´t talk very well about it, but this morning I suffered a Mosquito attack. I made up my mind and dicided to take the challenge so I went to my favourite hobbie shop and bought three Mosquito kits in 1/72.

Revell - Mosquito B Mk IV

Airfix - Mosquito Kit No. 3019 - With this one you can make the NFMk II, FB Mk VI or FB Mk XVIII. (I´ll bulid the FB VI).

Airfix - Moskito Kit No. 3062 - You can build the
NF Mk XIX,r the J 30. (I´ll buil de NF Mk XIX).

I know the three of them are not an easy build but if I can tackle them I´ll end with a nice collection of Mosquitoes in 1/72.


Think that I´ll start in a few days when I finish a Spitfire Mk Vb Trop in decaling process now.
I´ll take pictures of the progress and post them here.

Hi all:

When I took a look at the sprues of the Airfix Mosquitoes and talked with a pair of modelers who build them, I dicided to quit the idea of building them and I returned them to the hobbie shop.
They have a lot of flash everywhere, various sink marks in the fuselage and the nose of the NF Mk XIX have shape problems.
For $26.- I got the Tamiya Mosquito. (Airfix where $10.- each one)
