Valiant Wings Publishing’s eighth title in the
well-established Airframe & Miniature series will be de Havilland Mosquito
- Part 1: Bomber and Photo-reconnaissance by Richard A. Franks.
The modelling map in relation to the Mosquito has changed
dramatically in recent years and much more reference material is now available.
The time is therefore right to bring out new titles that comprehensively bring
modellers and enthusiasts up to date with the type. A second volume covering
fighters and fighter-bomber versions is planned for later release.
This eighth book in our much acclaimed series will contain
at least 176 pages packed with vital information that no active modeller and
Mosquito enthusiast should be without.
This book will contain:
• 40+ pages of
technical information
• 20+ pages of
walk-around images and technical diagrams
• 5+ pages of
camouflage and markings
• 25+ pages of
model builds and modelling information
• 200+
photographs including wartime images
• Colour side
views and four-views by Richard J. Caruana
• 3D isometric
views of all bomber and PR variants by Wojciech Sankowski

1/72nd scale Tamiya B Mk IV plus another converted to B Mk XVI, 1/48th scale
Airfix PR Mk XVI and 1/32nd scale HK Models B Mk IV Series II kits.
