Tamiya Kit No. 60326 1/32 De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI
Availability: July
Japanese Retail Price: 19,800 yen (planned)
The "Wooden Wonder" makes an appearance in highly impressive 1/32 scale! That was the nickname given to
the De Havilland Mosquito series of aircraft, an ingenious and beautiful design which saw the versatile airplane
made almost entirely of wood. Its outstanding speed and range ensured that the FB Mk.VI was used in a range
of missions, including raids on important targets and infrastructure in the German homeland. It is often said that,
until the advent of the Messerschmitt Me262, the German Luftwaffe did not have an adequate response to the
"Mossie."
