The De Havilland Mosquito stood out in WWII thanks to clever weight saving and speed. Its largely wooden fuselage and twin Merlin engines gave it performance that surprised many contemporary pilots and engineers.
Originally underestimated for lacking heavy defensive armament, the Mosquito became a flexible platform. The night-fighter Mk.II used radar to intercept threats after dark, while the fighter-bomber Mk.VI delivered ordnance against ground targets with speed and accuracy.
Tamiya's 1/48 rendition offers crisp moulding and parts that align well, making it a rewarding build for hobbyists who enjoy accurate surface detail and historical subjects.
