Product: 1:32 DeHavilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI
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. By the late 1930s, when design
work on the Mosquito started, metal was the overwhelmingly favored
medium. However, the Mosquito's designer foresaw that metal would become
a precious resource in the probable war ahead; what was more, his highly
lightweight wooden aircraft would be able to outrun heavier metal
opponents. Constructed mainly from balsa wood sandwiched between sheets
of birch, the Mosquito was originally designed as a weaponless bomber;
once the armed forces and designers realized that the aircraft could
withstand enemy fire even if it was caught, a number of variants were
produced. The FB Mk.VI debuted in Spring 1943: this fighter-bomber
variant packed four 7.7mm machine guns in the nose, plus four powerful
20mm autocannons and the ability to mount four 500lb bombs. 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."
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Momentan eines der Besten Modell
Hier Zeigt Tamyia was Sie können, ein Großartiges Modell, wenn ihr jetzt in Eurem Shop noch anzeigt das es das Export Modell ist und mit Tanzarten Teil für die Motor Abdeckung geliefert wird wäre es ein weiter Anreiz es zu kaufen, ich war angenehm überrascht, auch die zusätzliche Dokumentation ist bei dem Model sehr hilfreich.
