Opis produktu:
First entering service in 1941 the legendary ’all-wooden’ Mosquito was truly an example of engineering ingenuity born out of the desperation of war, yet also one of the best twin-engined fighter/fighter-bomber of its size to see action in World War II. The addition of AI Mk IV radar also turned the Mosquito into the RAF’s premier nightfighter, and it achieved great success both in the defence of Britain, where some 600 raiders and 600 V1s fell to the guns of the Mosquito between 1942 and 1945, and on roving daylight and night patrols over occupied Europe. The design’s superb performance, and ability to escape interception by enemy fighters also made the Mosquito the ideal choice for the RAF’s photographic reconnaissance force, and in small numbers it was even taken up by the USAAF’s 8th Air Force to cover their campaigns over northwest Europe. This wide range of roles across multiple theatres and air forces are all reflected in the variety of kits built and colour schemes shown throughout this title.
