1/72 Corgi (AA32806) DeHavilland Mosquito FBVI (RF594) Bangkok, Thailand, Nov 1945, 211 Sqdn R.A.F. (Limited Edition #0353 of Only 3100)

211 squadron re-equipped with Mosquito FBVIs in India in May 1945, which it was due to utilise in the projected invasion of Malaya. However, the invasion never took place and as a result the squadron re-located to Bangkok in Siam (Thailand) in September 1945 and disbanded at Don Muang on 15 March 1946. These FB IV's were overall aluminium doped and carried black SEAC recognition markings which were specified for aircraft in light or silver finish and the serial number was repeated on the fin above the two-tone flash.

de Havilland Mosquito FB.Mk VI

Designed in a private venture as a high-altitude, high-speed unarmed bomber, the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito was first flown on November 25th, 1940. The Mosquito was one of the most successful aircraft of the Second World War. Only the Ju 88 could rival its versatility. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, the all-wood Mosquito was as fast as a fighter and could carry the payload of a medium bomber. During its lifetime, the Mosquito was used in varying roles, which included night fighter and ground attack. It carried radar systems and cannons, and there was even a carrier landing version.
