TAMIYA 1/32 DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO FB MK.VI WITH AUS. DECALS

Tamiya 1/32 de Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI with Australian Decals Plastic Model Kit

Build one of the most famous Allied aircraft of WWII with the Tamiya 1/32 de Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI with Australian Decals. This large-scale plastic model kit captures the graceful lines and largely wooden construction of the legendary "Wooden Wonder", while faithfully reproducing the heavily armed FB Mk.VI fighter-bomber configuration.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

Originally conceived as a fast, unarmed bomber, the de Havilland Mosquito evolved into a remarkably versatile aircraft serving as a bomber, fighter, reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. The FB Mk.VI combined four 7.7mm nose-mounted machine guns with four 20mm autocannons and could carry four 500lb bombs, making it one of the most heavily armed Mosquito variants.
