We truly live in the Golden Age of modelling, and especially so if you build large scale planes. Who'd have thought that we'd have the prospect of not one, but two 1/32 new Mosquito kits to contend with, especially after having to settle for the ancient Revell kit for so long. Even better, Eagle Editions has now released a set of replacement decals for the Tamiya FB.Mk. VI kit.
Decals are provided for the following four aircraft:
- EG-T, MM417, 487 Sqn
- TH-H, NT137, 418 Sqn
- SB-S, HR352, 464 Sqn
- UP-J, NS838, 605 Sqn
The decals themselves are supplied on two sheets, exquisitely printed by Cartograf:
The printing is crisp and clear, with both colour density and registration being perfect:

As you'd expect these days, the placement guide is in full colour, on a fold-out sheet that also includes descriptions of each aircraft's camouflage, and a stencil placement guide.
Conclusion
This package is a worthy alternative to the kit-supplied decals, especially if, like many of us, you find Tamiya's decals difficult to work with. The quality of the decals themselves is beyond reproach, and I can highly recommend them.
Thanks to Eagle Editions for the review sample.
