de Havilland Mosquito B Mk.IX / XVI in 1/32 scale by HK Models depicts one of the most powerful variants of this legendary British bomber, which thanks to its speed and lightweight design often operated without fighter escort. The Mosquito, nicknamed the "Wooden Miracle", was designed as a fast and agile bomber that evaded enemy defences thanks to its high speed.
- The Mosquito B Mk.IX was the first variant adapted for long distance raids, powered by Rolls-Royce Merlin 72 engines. This version was capable of carrying heavy bomb loads and was used for strategic bombing as well as precision strikes on German industrial targets.
- The Mosquito B Mk.XVI was an improved version equipped with a pressurised cabin, which allowed operations at higher flight levels where it could evade enemy fighters. It often carried 1,800kg of bombs, including the 1,800kg "Cookie" bomb used in RAF raids on German cities.
