About the de Havilland Mosquito PR.XVI

The de Havilland Mosquito, nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder," was one of the most versatile and successful aircraft of World War II. The PR.XVI variant was a dedicated photo-reconnaissance version, stripped of armament and optimized for high-altitude, long-range reconnaissance missions over enemy territory. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and constructed primarily of wood, the PR.XVI combined exceptional speed with high-altitude performance, allowing it to outrun most enemy fighters while gathering vital intelligence. The Mosquito's elegant lines and remarkable capabilities make it a favorite subject for British aviation enthusiasts and WWII modelers.

What's Included

This STEEL series set features pre-colored photo-etched parts that eliminate tedious hand-painting of small cockpit details. The set typically includes pre-painted seatbelts with authentic harness colors for the two-crew reconnaissance aircraft, instrument panel details, cockpit sidewall enhancements, and other interior refinements. The ultra-thin brass construction ensures scale-accurate thickness that injection-molded plastic cannot achieve, bringing museum-quality detail to your Mosquito PR.XVI cockpit.
