Airfix - De Havilland Mosquito FBVI - 1:24 (A25001A)
June, 1942. The Mosquito FB MkVI first takes to the
skies. Powered by two Merlin engines driving three-bladed de Havilland
hydromatic propellers, the Mosquito FB Mk VI, which was almost entirely made
of wood, was incredibly fast and incredibly manoeuvrable, with top speeds
reaching 384 mph! Due to its speed and manoeuvrability, the FB MkVI was used
by Coastal Command as an anti-shipping bomber towards the end of the war.
They unleashed deadly attacks on coastal traffic and U-boats – all of which
were heavily laden with anti-aircraft guns. Featuring regularly in film, TV
and literature the De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk VI remains a classic and an
iconic aircraft to add to your collection.
One of the most potent
versions of the famous De Havilland Mosquito the FBVI matched the high speed
bombing capability of the early glass-nosed bomber variants with the cannon
and machine gun punch of the fighters, creating a fast and efficient fighter
bomber. Operating across Europe and the Far East, the Mosquito came to be
highly respected by its adversaries.
