Mosquito is fully licensed by the Royal Air Force and has been developed to the very highest standards as a lasting tribute to this amazing aircraft.
Built from wood and powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlins, the Mosquito was a formidable aircraft with the speed of a fighter, the manoeuvrability of a racer and the payload of a bomber.
The high quality models are accompanied by many unique animations and superb textures covering a range of aircraft, along with the distinctive sound of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.
Cockpits are equipped with the latest 'smooth' gauges for more realism and just about every switch, button and control lever operates with the mouse. Everything is historically and technically authentic right down to the panel bolts and brackets.
The bomber version is equipped with a working bombsight, arming switches and bomb trigger. Even the emergency axe hangs on the fuselage wall.
The exterior models are finely detailed with correct movement for the flaps, radiator shutters, rudder and elevator trim tabs, bomb doors and more. The landing gear is highly detailed down to brake lines and hydraulic actuators. Many novel effects are featured, including the dropping of ordnance, smoke and firing guns.
Three detailed Mosquito variants with four liveries are included:
Mosquito B. Mk IV – ‘GB-G' DK296 of 105 Squadron, No. 2 Group, mid-1942. This is the aircraft which led the famous attack on the Gestapo headquarters in Oslo, Norway on the 25th September 1942.
Mosquito FB. Mk VI – ‘NE-A' HR 405 of 143 Squadron RNFAA, flown by Flying Officers A V Randell and R R Rawlins, Banff Strike Wing.
Mosquito FB. Mk VI – ‘TS-B' MM404 of 464 Squadron RAAF, flown by Sqn Ldr Ian McRitchie and Flt Lt R W ‘Sammy’ Sampson. This aircraft was involved in the famous Amiens Prison raid. Hit by flak, the badly wounded McRitchie crash landed TS-B and was captured. Sampson did not survive.
Mosquito FB. Mk XVIII 'Tsetse' – ‘O' NT225 of 248 Squadron RAF, 1945. This is the ground attack and anti-shipping fighter-bomber developed from FB Mk VI, and carried a Molins 6-pounder 57mm cannon firing 25 rounds and four .303 machine guns.
