Designers took an unconventional approach by building much of the aircraft from multi-layered plywood, making use of the underutilised furniture industry and readily available raw materials. This innovative thinking allowed production to continue despite shortages and led to a highly efficient manufacturing process.\n\nThe Mosquito's fuselage was made from cold-molded plywood formed in concrete molds, allowing wiring and equipment to be installed before final assembly, speeding up construction. Most of the aircraft, including its one-piece wings with a span of 54 ft 2 in and a total wing area of 454 sq ft, used laminated plywood and hardwood, with metal reserved only for critical structural components. Measuring 44 ft 6 in lengthwise and 17 ft 5 in height-wise, this method resulted in a strong but lightweight airframe.\n\nThe reduced weight - an empty weight of 14,300 lb and a maximum weight of 18,100 lb, combined with two Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 liquid-cooled piston engines producing 1,430 hp each, gave the Mosquito exceptional speed and performance. It could reach a maximum speed of 380 mph at 14,000 ft and operate at a service ceiling of 37,000 ft (11,000 m). It was produced in 43 variants, with the Mk VI Fighter Bomber being the most common. Specialised versions served with the Royal Navy and the RAF, including night fighters and pathfinder aircraft that relied on speed and low-level flying to mark targets ahead of bomber formations.\n\nBecause of its speed and versatility, the Mosquito was used in many daring and covert missions, including famous raids such as Operation Jericho and attacks on Gestapo headquarters. It served with around 20 air forces and remained in action until the 1950s. Several are under restoration, and the aircraft remains admired for its beauty, innovation, and remarkable wartime legacy.\n\n10 LIVERIES INCLUDED:\n\nDz383/? of No 138 wing,2nd TAF,Lasham, September 1944\n\nDK333/HS-F \"Grim Reaper\" No 109 Sqn, No 8 group, Wyton, January 1943\n\nDz637/AZ-X No627 Sqn, No5 Group, Woodhall Spa, 3 July 1944\n\n\"BOAC\" Unarmed high-speed courier)\n\nDZ353/GB-E No 105 sqn No 2 group, December 1942\n\nDK296/GB-G No 105 sqn, September 1942\n\nNS519 653rd bomb squadron, October 1944\n\nF8 Mosquito 43-34926 \"The spook\"\n\nCF-FZG Canadian racer ( based on b35 )\n\nRaw factory finish\n\nDIY mosquito blank livery (check manual)\n\nFS2024 Compatibility information\nYou are buying the deHavilland Mosquito for MSFS2020.
