Mark I 1:144 DH Mosquito B.IV, the Wooden Bomber is an injection-molded plastic kit of the British twin-engine fast bomber of the Second World War in 1:144 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an unassembled and unpainted kit in injection-molded plastic released under the Mark I brand. The 1:144 scale is typical of collectors who want a whole range of types side by side in one display case and do not have meters of room for it. The finished model is therefore small, which puts all the more weight on clean seams and precise color edges.
The de Havilland Mosquito Mk.IV was the bomber version of a twin-engine aircraft famous for its structure of plywood and wooden parts, which is where the nickname used on the box comes from. Power came from a pair of liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engines and the crew numbered two men. The bomber version carried no defensive gun armament and relied on high speed, ceiling and range. Its hallmarks are the slender, streamlined fuselage, the pair of engine nacelles and the simple single vertical tail.
At a small scale the preparation of the parts decides everything: cut the sprue gates off with a sharp knife or a photo-etched saw and sand the marks away so that they do not spoil the thin outlines. Glue with liquid cement for plastic drawn in by capillary action once the parts are seated, and use it really sparingly. Fill the seams with putty and sand them with fine paper. Before painting, lay down a thin coat of primer, which evens out the surface and reveals any remaining scratches. Spray the paints with an airbrush in light coats; with two-color camouflage schemes masking putty or thin tape helps. Prepare a gloss coat under the decals and seal them with a matte or semi-gloss finish once dry.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
