So, anybody got a line on a bulged bomb bay for the Australian long range PR
variant in the latest Aeromaster sheet (1/48)? The Airfix kit has the
two-stage merlins and the wing tanks, but how about the bulged bay? I have
fallen deeply in love with the aluminum/PRU blue paint job-

It certainly seems as though the bulged bay doors are present.

Apparently, Paragon Designs produced a conversion set for the bulged bay
doors. However it is not currently listed on the Hannants website.

Koster also made a vacuform set of accessories for the Mosquito, including
the bomb bay, although I've no idea where to find one outside of eBay.

FWIW I have a current Koster list and the Mosquito set is apparently no
longer in production. The Paragon set should become available again as
Paragon gets into production. Best bet is to watch Hannant's website,
maybe send Hannant's an e-mail asking about it.
