Nice kit to put together for the scale quite detailed took me about two weeks very relaxing and enjoyable to do.

Bought this as a birthday present for my brother, he was delighted with it, he's still only half the way through it, but he says he wants to do it justice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended

The de Havilland Mosquito is truly an RAF legend and surely one of the best-looking twin-engine designs of its era. Arguably, it was the world’s first true multirole combat aircraft, serving successfully in several different roles during WWII. This Airfix 1/72 offering is the light bomber version, the B Mk.XVI.First released in 2021, this kit is typical of Airfix offerings over the last few years which are uniformly of a very high standard and this kit is no exception. Some real thought has gone into the design of this model and how it all goes together. For instance, the main undercarriage units are assembled using the inside of the wings as a ‘jig’, meaning the landing gear can be put together and painted before finally being glued into the respective nacelles towards the end of the build. And it’s really clever how the cockpit and bomb bay are constructed as one complete sub-assembly, fitting precisely within the fuselage halves. The fit of all the parts was exceptional and only a few dabs of plastic putty was used whilst constructing my model.Detail on this kit is excellent for a 1/72 model and transparent parts are all crystal-clear and well fitting. Decals are manufactured by Cartograf, meaning they’re pretty much as good as it gets; all went down with minimum setting-solution and practically no bubbles or silvering. The instructions are comprehensive, with no obvious errors. Additionally, the kit offers some nice options – you can choose to make a day bomber or night bomber, undercarriage up or down, and bomb bay doors open or closed. In fact, the detail in the bomb bay is outstanding, with a view of the internal fuselage fuel tanks, and four 500lb bombs on their racks.So, any gripes? Well, the pilot figure…I personally don’t like crew figures in my builds. But if it’s your thing, firstly, there’s only one figure and this Mosquito was definitely a 2-crew aircraft! And secondly, the size of the figure. At 1/72 scale, it’s just about as straight forwards as it gets; a guy who stands around 6ft would be 1 inch. The pilot provided looks like he’d be less than 5ft tall, clearly under-scale! This is odd, because it’s obvious that Airfix have been meticulous in getting the aeroplane detail spot on and getting this wrong just seems lazy.In conclusion, crew figures notwithstanding, this is a truly excellent model. You can build this straight out of the box and get a decent result. One day, all model kits will be designed and manufactured like this! Highly recommended.
