Discussion
Well it's official! kit no 60326 July release... it's going to be expensive as the 32nd scale HKM BIV will be out about the same time....
And no! the press release wasn't dated 1/4/15...
So i'll end up with one of each, just don't tell her indoors
Tamiya Kit No. 60326 1/32 De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI
Availability: July
Japanese Retail Price: 19,800 yen (planned)
The "Wooden Wonder" makes an appearance in highly impressive 1/32 scale! That was the nickname given to
the De Havilland Mosquito series of aircraft, an ingenious and beautiful design which saw the versatile airplane
made almost entirely of wood. Its outstanding speed and range ensured that the FB Mk.VI was used in a range
of missions, including raids on important targets and infrastructure in the German homeland. It is often said that,
until the advent of the Messerschmitt Me262, the German Luftwaffe did not have an adequate response to the
"Mossie."
About the Model
• This is a 1/32 scale plastic model assembly kit.
• At 515mm in wingspan, this masterpiece captures the elegant twin-engine form of the FB Mk.VI with
astounding detail. This newly-tooled model was researched using real Mosquitos.
• The cockpit interior is realistically depicted, right down to details such as the pilot's seat cushion.
• The modeler is presented with a number of options in assembly of the kit.
• Separate parts recreate bomb bay and wing underside 500lb bombs, plus 50-gallon drop tanks.
• 3 figures are included.
• Comes with 3 marking options, plus masking stickers.
• A 12-page B5 size commemorative booklet includes color photographs and a detailed history of the Mosquito.

How's that Tamiya Leyton House coming on??
I finished that ages ago. I started my RB6 but stopped due to a house move and other life stuff. I'm all moved now and just setting up my new area in the garage. Here is the LH.
I have the 1/32nd P-51D sitting awaiting work, and i made the 1/24th Airfix Mossie a couple of years ago now. so ill hold off.
Looks mega though, once i have wedding out of the way, i can buy a couple of nice things now and then.
Long game is house deposit with a garden or 4 bedrooms, so i can either steal a room or build a proper weatherproofed shed.
Any chance of a build thread once you have the kit?
