Just bought a DeHavilland Mosquito B MK lV kit from Hasegawa. The MK Vll is based on the MK lV so I will modify this kit to make a B MK Vll (Canada only). Is there anybody who know the differences between those two aircrafts ? I know that the Vll uses a Merlin 31 instead of the Merlin 21 and that the exhaust is different but what else? Is the color scheme of the RCAF aircraft the same as the RAF ? I think so, but am I right? Thanks folks! Paul

Try writing to the Alberta Aviation Museum, 11410 Kingsway, Edmonton, fax (780) 451-1607.
Their people restored a Mosquito and should be able to answer your questions and point you at some references.
Good luck,
Bruce
