AA34605 de Havilland Mosquito FB.Mk VI, RCAF No.418 Sqn, Black Rufe, Robert Kipp, RAF Holmsley South, England, June 1944
1/32nd Scale, Limited Edition#922 of 1500
Wingspan is 20" x 15.5" nose to tail.
On April 14th, 1944 Flt. Lt. Robert Kipp and his navigator Flt. Lt. Peter Huletsky set out with another Mosquito to Denmark for a high-speed, low-level "Day Ranger" mission. Over the Kattegatt (Denmark-Sweden Strait), Kipp engaged two Ju 52/3ms fitted with minesweeping rings and shot both of them down, so achieving ace status. Coincidentally, his wingman, Flg Off. John Cain, also shot down two Junkers minesweepers to become an aceo. Kipp then attacked an airfied, destroying two Do 217s on the ground and damaging a third, before returning home at the end of a very successful sortie. Kipp received a DFC soon afterwards. His aircraft, "Black Rufe", was later wrecked in a landing accident at Hunsdon on November 1st, 1944.

All of the control surfaces are movable, including positionable radiator ducts and flaps that move in unison around each engine nacelle. The articulating main landing gear and tail wheel are beautifully detailed and lock easily in place for ground display. The side engine cowlings are removable, revealing detailed Merlin V-12 engines. The large canopy provides easy viewing of the highly detailed crew figures. The bottom of the model has spring loaded bomb-bay doors that open to reveal ordnance details and crew access door.
