Airfix 1/72 scale de Havilland Mosquito B.XVI plastic model kit review

This kit rivals Tamiya’s in quality, and might even be better
_DSC0691
Originally, de Havilland designed the Mosquito as a high-speed bomber capable of outrunning opponents, and, as such, it carried no defensive armament. The last major Mosquito variant was the B.XVI, which incorporated a pressurized cabin for high altitudes and could carry a 4,000-pound bomb load. Entering service in 1944, a total of 402 were built.

The Mosquito has been well-covered in the modeling world, with plenty of kits available over the years. Airfix continues to update its catalog, replacing some older kits with newly-tooled versions. This new 1/72 scale de Havilland Mosquito B.XVI kit features fine, recessed engraving, a fully detailed bomb bay, and options for either ground or in-flight display (no stand included).
