COBI Historical Collection De Havilland DH.98 Mosquito Mk. VI Plane

The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito Mk. Vi was one of the most successful combat aircraft used during WWII. The Mosquito was a British twin-engine, shoulder-winged, multi-role combat aircraft constructed almost entirely of wood. It therefor gained a nickname, “the wooden wonder”. it utilized construction that was unheard of at the time -- spruce wood, plywood and balsa covered by a doped fabric. There were different versions manufactured including fighter aircraft, fighter-bomber aircraft, night fighter aircraft and photo-reconnaissance aircraft. This unique new 5542 from COBI precisely replicates the original plane. Features include movable parts such as the propellers and wheels, and also has a bay that opens where missiles can be hidden and dropped on the enemy. In addition, the set consists of a plate with the name of a 5542 printed on and a sheet of stickers. It also includes a figure of a RAF pilot no. 305 polish Squadron lasham airfield, UK spring 1944.
