Hello,

I keep working but I think something is missing in the Tamiya model kit (and notice assembly). All my docs and books show this regarding the control stick


But the Tamiya part (in 2 parts) is that...

Usually there was a small head with a button at the stick top. It seems the shape and number of buttons there depened on the Mosquito variant.

Fighter variants like yours had the "stick" type grip. Bomber versions had the steering yoke. So Tamiya is correct.

The first pic in Wojtek's post does not look like a Mosquito cockpit as the trim wheel and instrument panel are incorrect for the type.

So it must be a wrong caption. Sorry. Removed.

Steph, the colour pic in your post shows a bomber or PR aircraft, with a full "yoke" or wheel. The Tamiya kit grip is correct.
Wojtek's pics show various Marks of Mossie, including a dual-control trainer.
The number of "buttons" on the stick grip depend on the armament. There could be three buttons for MGs, canon and gun camera, two buttons for the same and canon only armament, or just one button for canons, depending on camera connection etc.

Good stuff. Are you going to pile a bunch of boxes on the deck behind the seats. Busy area but hard to define by type.
