De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI/NF in short

The Mosquito combined clever wooden construction and powerful twin Merlins to become one of the fastest multi role aircraft of its time. Its lightweight structure let it tackle precision strikes and reconnaissance tasks with speed and range that surprised many contemporaries.

Originally questionable to some due to its minimal defensive armament, the Mosquito proved highly effective. The Fighting Bomber Mk. VI carried ordnance for ground attacks while night-fighter versions were adapted with radar and heavier armament to counter night raids.

Will I need special tools to complete this kit?

Basic modelling tools cover most steps: hobby knife, sanding tools, clamps and a fine paintbrush. Consider a pin vise for drilling and masking tape for clean paint lines.

How accurate are the kit markings?

Markings reflect common wartime finishes. For a specific squadron or theatre, cross reference period photos and consider additional decal sets if you need rare variants.

Any advice for painting wooden surfaces?

Prime plastic parts, then apply thin paint layers to keep panel detail sharp. For a wood-like appearance, use subtle weathering washes and light drybrushing to suggest grain and age.
