DeHavilland Mosquito B Mk.IV/PR Mk.IV kit - model outline

Known as the 'Wooden Wonder', the Mosquito combined lightweight construction with high speed to perform a range of missions in WWII. Tamiya's 1/72 kit reproduces the aircraft's clean lines for a satisfying build and display model.

Design and wartime role

Initially intended as a fast unarmed bomber, the Mosquito used wooden construction to save metal resources. It exceeded expectations in service, achieving test speeds of about 630 km/h and serving in reconnaissance, bombing and other specialised roles.

What builders will enjoy

The 1/72 scale offers a good compromise between intricate detail and a manageable build. Parts are moulded to represent the Mosquito's distinctive shape, making it suitable for both seasoned modellers and those stepping up to more detailed kits.
