The De Havilland Mosquito was a British combat aircraft which served with the Royal Air Force during World War II and postwar. Originally conceived as a fast unarmed bomber, uses of the Mosquito included: low to medium altitude daytime tactical bomber, high altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder and photo reconnaissance aircraft.
The Mosquito was affectionately known as the "Mossie" to its crews and also as "The Wooden Wonder" or "The Timber Terror" as the bulk of the aircraft was made of laminated plywood.
The Corgi Aviation Archive features a wide selection of high quality, ready-made, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using specifications of the original aircraft. Corgi models are built with diecast metal and some plastic components.
The models in the Corgi Aviation Archive series feature: realistic panel lines, a detailed cockpit with pilot figure, historically accurate aircraft markings and landing gear with rubber tires. They can be displayed with the landing gear down or 'in flight' on the included stand.
