"Great Detail and Plenty Of Options"
smiffy93
This 1/48 scale model kit by Tamiya is extremely good value as for detail and adaptability. The bomber version of the Mosquito comes aimed at two bomber version and one camera version. But hidden gem of parts and you can turn it into more than a half-dozen other scenarios. With nearly twenty unused parts called out you can do two different wingtips, two propellers, exhaust covers or not, and wing pods. A little bit of research and multiple color options appear as well. The detail on the plastic is superb and not a single piece of flash anywhere. Even looking at other Tamiya options for kits and use this one for the night fighter version but without the figures and jeep for a much lower price tag. Another superb Tamiya variance that I will purchase again but to try a completely different looking version with no extra pieces to buy from after-market vendors.

Information

The versatile Mosquito stood with the Spitfire fighter and Lancaster bomber and earned the respect of British pilots during World War II. In 1939, the De Havilland company envisioned the plane to be an unarmed high-speed bomber, and had experience with the Comet, which was a wooden racing plane. Except for the engine and landing gear, the Mosquito was comprised of wood, offering strategic advantages. The Air Ministry was reluctant to adopt the wooden aircraft, but placed orders for 50 planes in March 1940 for reconnaissance use.

In November 1940, the Mosquito reached speeds of 630km/h during test flights, demonstrating its potential and quickly promoting additional orders of 150 planes. The Mosquito PR Mk.I reconnaissance plane was first deployed in July 1941; the B Mk.IV bomber started deployment in the Spring of 1942. On May 31, 1942, the Mosquitoes led a daylight raid on Caim. In September 1942, the Gestapo headquarters in Oslo was bombed. German officials delivering a daytime speech in Berlin were attacked on January 30, 1943.

These events demonstrated the Mosquito's ability to carry heavy loads and deliver low altitude surprise attacks with accuracy. The camera equipped PR Mk. IV reconnaissance plane discovered the German Battleship Tirpitz in the Artic Circle and scouted V2 rocket facilities. The Mosquitoes performed their duties with minimal losses, displaying their remarkable abilities.
