The de Havilland Mosquito was a versatile twin-engine aircraft that was one of the best aircraft of World War II.
It was not without reason that it was called the 'Wooden Wonder'. It was used as a night fighter, fighter-bomber, bomber, reconnaissance, anti-ship or special transport aircraft.
The first generation of Mosquitos were powered by Merlin engines with single-stage superchargers.
In the spring of 1943, two-stage Merlins with higher performance at higher altitudes were installed in the Mosquito.
This resulted in the PR Mk.IX reconnaissance version and the B Mk.IX bomber.
They were produced in limited numbers, as they were replaced in production by the mass-produced PR Mk.XVI and B Mk.XVI versions, equipped with a pressurized cockpit.
The performance of the PR Mk.XVI version was so high that enemy fighters could hardly threaten it.
The PR Mk.XVI reconnaissance Mosquitos operated from the British Isles and Italy over the whole of Europe.
But not only over Europe, British Mosquitos were also deployed against Japan, being flown from India.
The RAAF deployed the Mosquito PR Mk.XVIs to fly recce missions from bases in northern Australia.
The new, highly detailed kit is broken down into five sprues of grey plastic parts and one with clear parts.
The decals offer an RAF machine, with invasion stripes, which was also used by Czechoslovak airmen, a SAAF machine, operated from Italy with a tail with red and white stripes, a USAAF machine from Britain, with a red tail and nose art on the fuselage, an RAF machine flying in India with SEAC markings and two RAAF machines.
One of them performed the last combat flight of the RAAF in World War II.
