The Aviaeology AOD32005M2 decal sheet in 1:32 scale carries the markings of particular Mosquito FB VI machines of 418 Squadron RCAF in the night intruder role. The manufacturer issued it as a revised and limited re-release.
Responsibility details are not available.
A sheet with the markings of particular named machines: the fighter-bomber Mosquito FB VI of 418 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force, sent on night intruder sorties over occupied Europe. It is not a universal set of national insignia or a sheet of technical stencils - these are the codes, the serial numbers and above all the nose art of the individual aircraft. The squadron had them painted after the characters from the Li'l Abner comic strip, so for the modeler the artwork is the main reason to buy. The designation in the part number belongs to a revised and limited issue that the manufacturer put on sale again; check the exact list of machines on the box.
The Mosquito FB VI was the fighter-bomber version of the wooden de Havilland: four 20 mm cannon in the nose, machine guns, and bombs or rockets under the wing. 418 Squadron RCAF used it for intruder sorties behind enemy lines - low night attacks on airfields, trains and lines of communication, in which the aircraft sought out targets on its own and relied on speed and low altitude. In the last year of the war it was among the most successful units of its kind, and its machines are easy to recognize thanks to the nose art.
Decals are not applied with modeling cement. They go onto dried gloss varnish, are seated with water and a decal fixer and, on broken surfaces, with a decal softener, so that the film follows the rivets and panel lines. Cut the individual markings out close to the artwork. Seat the nose art carefully on the rounded nose, where a softener helps; compare the finish with a photograph of the machine you are building.
This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
