Surprise kit announcement
We’re thrilled to reveal a secret addition to the Airfix range — the 1:72 scale De Havilland Mosquito B.XVI/B.35/TT.35! Building upon the base tooling of the 2021 release, this kit includes corrected and newly tooled parts, capturing the subtle differences across variants.
With 171 precision parts and exceptional surface detail, this kit celebrates the enduring legacy of the “Wooden Wonder” — a true icon of British aviation engineering.
This 1:72 scale kit consists of 182 parts and introduces 21 newly designed parts, including:
- Open and closed bulged bomb bay doors
- 4000lb “Cookie” bomb,
- Bomb bay interior parts,
- Target towing winch parts and other details.
Marking options for 3 distinctive new schemes which tell the story of the Mosquito’s changing roles in late World War 2 and into the post-war era- including the colourful TT.35 target towing variant “TA719” which survived into preservation.
