Build the DeHavilland Mosquito B Mk.IV/PR Mk.IV in 1/72 scale

The DeHavilland Mosquito, nicknamed the 'Wooden Wonder', earned its reputation in WWII for speed and versatility. This Tamiya 1/72 scale kit lets model makers recreate that distinctive twin-engined machine with authentic lines and proportions.

Why the Mosquito was important

Developed as a fast, unarmed bomber and reconnaissance platform, the Mosquito used mainly wooden construction to conserve strategic metals. Despite early doubts it demonstrated exceptional performance, reaching test speeds around 630 km/h and serving in varied roles from photo reconnaissance to precision strikes.

Kit appeal for builders

The Tamiya 1/72 rendition balances fine detail with a compact footprint, making it manageable for builders with some experience. The kit captures the Mosquito's sleek profile and provides a satisfying build for collectors and display modelers alike.
