SPH72544 1:72 Special Hobby DH.98 Mosquito NF Mk.XV 'High Altitude Night Fighter'

During the Second World War, the Junkers Ju 86P and R high-altitude reconnaissance and bomber aircraft appeared over Great Britain. Initially, the RAF was unable to intervene against them, until the high-altitude versions of the Spitfire Mk.VII and modified Spitfire Mk.IX brought about a turning point. The threat that the Luftwaffe would deploy more powerful bombers led to the development of a high-altitude fighter version of the Mosquito. This version had a pressurized cockpit, a radar in the nose, an extended wing with a span of 19 meters, high-altitude Merlin 76 engines with four-blade propellers. A small batch of ‘Fifteens’ was produced and assigned to No.85 Sqn. RAF for flight testing.

Our finely detailed kit offers decals for two machines, one in PRU Blue and the other in Deep Blue.
