Airfix AX04070 1/72 de Havilland Mosquito B Mk.XVI/B.35/TT.35
The de Havilland Mosquito B Mk.XVI stands as one of WWII's most formidable bombers. This 1/72 scale Airfix model captures the pressurised variant introduced in 1944, engineered for high-altitude operations where its unarmed design proved no disadvantage. The B.XVI's revolutionary capability lay in its payload—initially carrying 3,000lb of ordnance, later upgraded to accommodate the devastating 4,000lb 'Cookie' blockbuster bomb. Combining exceptional speed with pinpoint bombing accuracy, the Mosquito redefined aerial warfare. This detailed kit authentically represents the aircraft's evolution through B.35 and TT.35 variants, making it essential for serious scale modellers and aviation historians alike.
