This Airfix de Havilland Mosquito B.XVI/B.35/TT.35 Model Kit will make a fantastic addition to your model collection.
From 1944, the de Havilland Mosquito B.XVI was delivered to front line squadrons. Although it was unarmed, the B.XVI could carry a 3,000Ib bomb load. Not long after the start of B.XVI production, modifications were incorporated on the production line to allow a 4,000Ib ‘Cookie’ or blockbuster bomb to be carried internally, a weapon which possessed devastating destructive capability.
Combining the power of these fearsome weapons with the legendary speed and bombing accuracy associated with Mosquito operations allowed Bomber Command to keep the pressure on the enemy throughout the latter stages of WWII.
By this time, with its first test flight on 12 March 1945, the last bomber version of the Mosquito, B.35, was at an advanced stage of development. The war ended before the B.35 entered service, but it had a long career with the post-war RAF, serving operationally until early 1954.
Later conversions led to the TT.35 version that remained in service until the last one was retired in 1963.
The model kit comes with three RAF scheme options, so you can choose which version to build. It also introduces 21 newly designed parts to authentically capture this aircraft in detail.
