I'm excited to see that Tamiya will be doing this. I do love HK's kits, but since the Mosquito is a "want" versus a "must have", I like the idea of a cheaper, yet wonderfully engineered kit. This way I can justify getting it!

Back in the 80s I had a 1/48 scale B-52 kit. Man, that is one big arse kit!
Never say never for a B-17 Fortress in 1/48 scale. Imagine stik going crazy scratch-building the interior on that one.

The only evidence i can find is still the comment made in 2013 from avspecs about the tamiya engineers crawling all over KA114 here in NZ. If theyre using her as a base then it should be close, but bear in mind 114 has modern equipment in it, even if it is disguised as the original.
