Mosquito B Mk.IV/PR Mk.IV - kit summary

The DeHavilland Mosquito earned the sobriquet 'Wooden Wonder' thanks to its largely wooden structure and exceptional performance. Tamiya presents the type in 1/72 scale, allowing modellers to recreate a notable WWII aircraft with care and accuracy.

Role and construction

Originally designed as an unarmed high-speed bomber, the Mosquito used wood to reduce demand for strategic metals. It surprised critics with strong performance, reaching around 630 km/h in tests, and was adapted for reconnaissance, bombing and other specialised tasks.

Model building notes

The 1/72 scale is popular for mixing display and detail. This kit renders the Mosquito's distinctive contours and is suitable for experienced modellers as well as those advancing beyond simpler kits.
