If is says 'new box' it is because the main change is in the packaging*.

Normally when it just says 'rebox' on the timeline it is because it not known weather anything other than just packaging changed - decals, updated parts, etc.
When you click on it, it will say something like 'Released: 199x Changed ???' in the details
and if click edit it will say 'Origin: Rebox (Unknown what changed)'

*Changes can be as subtle as a barcode, so you wouldn't necessarily notice from the box top.
Or even the type of box:
De Havilland Mosquito Mk4 or Mk6 (FROG F187, 1:72)
De Havilland Mosquito Mk4 or Mk6 (FROG F187, 1:72)

A rebox could also be the kit being released by another manufacturer, e.g. many Revell kits are old Matchbox or Monogram products.

Another reason for just saying 'Rebox' in the timeline is because it was 'Cancelled | Never released'
English light bomber "Mosquito" (Zvezda 7234, 1:72)

Some say things like this shouldn't be included on ScaleMates, but it is important information as they may appear on catalogues leaving collectors hunting for something that never existed. ☺️

The colors are late RLM colors but not exactly as the instructions say. To start with they call for the hood to be RLM83 which of course is wrong, since in actuality that was a marine color and blue. Many paint manufacturers have some type of green with that number but it was based on a typing mistake in the original RLM records. I believe the hood should be RLM73 as in the original photos it is a bit darker than 81. The fuselage is RLM81 and RLM82, but there were three variants of 81, two that were brownish and one more green. The green is the correct one for this plane. The under carriage is RLM76, but once again we have three variants to choose from; one that is greyer, one bluer and one more tan colored. The greyer one is correct. There is confusion about whether the nose is red or black. I still have to do more research on this. I believe the propeller blade was RLM70

It's just a piece of black poster board. I'm using a warm light and a cool light on opposite ends to highlight the model.

I managed to frame this today.

Looks beautiful. I still fight an uphill battle with my Revell 1:144 one. Yours being Heller moulds I suppose building it was more straightforward. Good, that you kept the nose up. Looks better that way. 🙂

Skyhiker
Thanks guys. The nose on this kit has a lot of issues. I scratch built the inside of the nose floor and kept it in the up position because the engineering was very poor. Other than that the kit is great and went together quickly.

I finally framed this one.
