Specifically I am looking for the PR option from the Tamiya B Mk.IV/PR Mk.IV boxing.

Can anyone help?

Can't promise anything at the moment, but I've got a Tamiya Mosquito.  Let me dig it out and I'll get back to you.

Cheers,

It will probably be easier for me Robert as at least I'm on the same side of the pond  ;D

I've got two so PM me your address Alastair and I'll get them into the post for you

Whilst looking I found some Paragon bits in the box - drop tanks, bulged bomb bay and two stage Merlins  :thumbsup: Forgot I had them

Just as well Chris, the boxing I have is for the Mk.XIII / Mk.XVII. Sorry Alastair. Got some RAFDEC PR.XVI decals though for an unusual all over PRU Blue with Dk.Green disruptive pattern.

Other than serial, there's nothing on the sheet that makes the PR aircraft anything but anonymous. 

Interesting fact - I got two of the first three of that kit to come into the country and did it as the PR option.  It's also one of the very few real aircraft I've built in the last 20 years, the number of which can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Bob, the PRXVI in that scheme has been proven to be bogus.

In the Sharp/Bowyer book, there's at least one PR.IV that had the top side camo'd that way, with sky lowers.

And as the scheme for NS797 was April/May 1945 when the PR Mosguitos were getting mauled quite badly by the German jets I think there's a possibility
