Tamiya 1/48th De Havilland Mosquito - The Wooden Wonder that terrified the Nazi's

My kit review, and full build of Tamiya's 1/48th Mosquito FB Mk VI, my first ever Tamiya Aircraft kit!

The most produced Mosquito variant, the FB.Mk VI, was a fighter-bomber powered by either the 1,460-hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 21 or Merlin 23 giving the aircraft a top speed of 380 mph, it had a range of 1,205 miles, which could be extended by a further 500 miles with underwing drop tanks. Armament would consist of four 20mm cannons and four 0.303-in machine-guns and either four 500lb bombs or from 1944 eight rocket projectiles and two 500lb bombs. The Mosquito Mk. VI prototype made its maiden flight on the 1st June 1942 and entered service the following year on the 11th May 1943. In total 2,305 examples were built and the Mosquito FB.Mk VI would equip over 20 squadrons serving over Europe and it would also see action in the Far East.
