Brett displayeda passion for aviation and aircraftmodelling from an early age. Thisdeveloped into a particular interestin camouflage and markings. Brettestablished the popular scale modelling websiteHyperScale (www.hyperscale.com) in 1998. He isalso Editor of the ADH Publishing magazines ModelMilitary International and the Aircraft Edition of MilitaryIllustrated Modeller; the armour modelling websiteMissing-Lynx (www.missing-lnx.com), and author ofmore than 15 books. Brett concluded his 25-yearcareer in the Australian telecommunications industry in2003, when he decided to pursue his interests in onlinepublishing and writing as a full-time occupation. He stilllives in Sydney today with his wife and two children,Charlotte and Sebastian.In December 2011, I was fortunate to be shown around therestoration facility of AVSPECS outside Auckland, New Zealand.The most prominent projects in the workshop were two deHavilland Mosquitos. One was nearly complete, while anotherwas just getting underway.It was remarkable to see the bare timber fuselage and the cockpitwith instruments and fittings stripped away. In this state, it lookedmore like an antique marine vessel than an aircraft.The more advanced project had its Rolls Royce Merlin engines ondisplay, and the cockpit was almost complete. I was able to stick myhead in through the crew access hatch, which helped me appreciatehow tight the space must have been for two aircrew wearing full flightgear and heavy jackets.Tamiya must have viewed these same airframes not long after Iwas there. They have delivered a fitting tribute to these streamlinedmachines and the men who flew them.When Tamiya released their 1:32 scale Spitfire Mk.IXc in 2009, theyset a new standard for plastic model kits. Each model since then hasseen incremental improvements. Just when you think the series can’tget any better, Tamiya goes and proves you wrong.This time around, the kit features a photo-etched front instrumentpanel resulting in thinner and more realistic instrument lenses, multi-part treads on the injection-moulded plastic tyres delivering a deep,seamless block tread pattern, and more configuration options thanwe have seen in this series before.We can also marvel at the kit’s subtle surface textures, high levelof detail and accuracy.Tamiya has chalked up another amazing result with this kit, and haslifted the bar just that little bit higher.The main purpose of this book is to deliver a step-by-step illustratedguide to building the big Tamiya Mosquito, clarifying construction andsuggesting sequences for sub-assemblies and painting.Any modelling book is an ensemble effort and this title is noexception. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to ChrisWauchop, whose wonderful work also appears on these pages, andto Marcus Nicholls for his advice and feedback during the book’spreparation. Thanks to both of you for your efforts.Thanks also to Alex Hall, who has once again transformed raw textand images into the attractive illustrated journey you see before you.We are very grateful to Tamiya for providing the kit built in this book.The photos of the Mosquito under restoration in the Close-Upsection were kindly provided by Kerry Carlyle.Thanks to all!Brett Green, August 2015nChris WauchopChris Wauchop was born in Deniliquinin regional Australia in 1954. Chris’scareer began in the photo studio of amajor Sydney advertising agency. Fromhere, Chris moved on to professionalmodel making at Lego. After nearlyfive years, he decided to go solo, opening a hobbyshop called “Absolute Hobbies” in suburban Sydney.This became a Mecca for local modellers. The end ofthe property lease after seven years prompted anothercareer change, this time painting props and vehiclesfor the science fiction movie, Red Planet. Chris hasbuilt many models for commercial advertising, displaysat trade shows, articles for magazines and websitesincluding Tamiya Model Magazine, Model MilitaryInternational, Military Illustrated Modeller, HyperScaleand Missing-Lynx, and has been a contributor to manymodelling books.
