Tamiya 300060326 DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO FB MK.VI Scale Model KITDrawn up as a high speed unarmed bomber the twin engine De Havilland Mosquito fulfilled that role and so many more for the RAF and other Allied air forces during WWII taking advantage of performance so astonishing it earned the aircraft its nickname: Wooden Wonder. (That and the fact it was made largely of wood in contrast to most of its contemporaries.) The FB Mk.VI fighter-bomber variant which first appeared in the skies in Spring 1943 packed a punch with four 7.7mm nose-mounted machine guns and four powerful 20mm auto-cannons plus the ability to carry four 500lb bombs. With around 2700 produced it was the most prolifically manufactured Mosquito variant and this high performance multi-role aircraft was relied on to attack sensitive enemy targets such as SS facilities V1 flying bomb sites and munitions factories taking advantage of its precision low-altitude bombing skills.About the ModelThis is a 1/32 scale plastic model assembly kit.
