Known as the "Wooden Wonder," the De Havilland Mosquito was a marvel of engineering, crafted predominantly from wood at a time when metal was the standard in aircraft design. This innovative approach allowed it to achieve remarkable speed and agility, making it a formidable presence during World War II. The Mosquito FB Mk.VI variant, introduced in 1943, was equipped with an impressive array of armaments, including four 7.7mm machine guns and four 20mm cannons, alongside the capability to carry four 500lb bombs.
The Tamiya 1/32 scale model faithfully recreates the Mosquito's distinctive features. With a wingspan of 515mm, this kit offers exceptional detail, including a highly detailed cockpit and the option to display the bomb bay open or closed. The inclusion of clear parts for the engine cowling allows enthusiasts to showcase the finely detailed Merlin engines, a highlight of this model kit.
Modelers can choose between different propeller types—either the early variant slim line blades or the wider paddle type blades. The model also provides options for assembling the exhausts either uncovered or covered, enhancing the customization potential for hobbyists looking to personalize their build.
