Model kit, De Havilland Mosquito MK.IV, 82 parts, 13 years and up
The Mosquito was one of the RAF's most powerful and fastest bombers during World War II and was built in a total of 5,500 units until 1945. The lightweight aircraft owed its success to its special materials; instead of aluminium, wood was predominantly used for the basic construction and the outer coating. The prototype flew on 25 November 1940, after which the wooden wonder went into series production. The Mosquito outflew all German fighter planes. When Reichsmarschall Göring was about to hold a parade in Berlin on 31 January 1943, 3 Mosquito bombers dropped their load nearby and managed to escape quietly despite a huge fighter force. Production was increased during the war, and it was then also used as a fighter and photo reconnaissance aircraft, including by the US Army Air Corps. The top speed was 611 km/h, the range 3272 km. A maximum of 906 kg bomb load could be carried.
