Question

had the 6 pounder gun & where can I buy the model kit

Answer 1

Tamiya makes a Mk VI kit which you could modify into a Mk XVIII... I'm not sure if there is an aftermarket kit to perfect the Mk XVIII.

Check http://www.mossie.org/models/Tamiya_1-48_NFII-FBVI/Tamiya.htm for more information...

Another fighter-bomber variant was the FB Mk XVIII (sometimes known as the Tsetse) of which 27 were made by converting Mk VIs. These were fitted with a Molins 57 mm cannon, a 6 pounder anti-tank gun modified with an auto-loader to allow both semi- or fully-automatic fire, in the nose, along with two .303 in (7.7 mm) sighting machine guns. The Air Ministry initially suspected that this variant would not work, but mock tests proved otherwise. Although the gun provided the Mosquito with yet more anti-shipping firepower to pit against U-boats, it required a steady and vulnerable approach-run to aim and fire the gun, thus making rockets more effective, especially because Mosquitos without the 6 pounder didn't suffer the weight penalty of the gun.

Good luck !!
