DH.98 Mosquito NF Mk.XXX ‘Night Predator’ 1/72

   The de Havilland Mosquito was a versatile twin-engine aircraft that was one of the best aircraft of World War II. Not for nothing was it called the ‘Wooden Wonder’. It was used as a night fighter, fighter-bomber, bomber, reconnaissance, anti-ship or special transport aircraft. The first generation of Mosquitos were powered by Merlin engines with single-stage superchargers. In the spring of 1943, two-stage Merlins with higher performance at higher altitudes were installed in the Mosquito. This concerned the reconnaissance and bombing versions. The night fighter versions did not receive the two-stage Merlins until 1944. In the second half of 1944, the RAF deployed a new version of the Mosquito NF Mk.30, designed for the night fighter role. It was used both in the defence of Britain against German bombers and V-1 missiles, and to escort its own night bombers. The new Mosquitos were more powerful than any Luftwaffe propeller-driven night fighter, including the He 219.

The new, highly detailed kit contains five sprues of grey plastic parts and one with clear parts. Decals are offered for the aircraft of British ace Walter Gibb, the aircraft of the Czechoslovak sqn. RAG, the Polish sqn. RAF, the aircraft of the RAAF squadron operating in Britain and the USAAF aircraft operating from Italy.
