MATPK-116 - Matchbox 1/72 Mosquito NF.30/MK-IX - WWHP112278

Preowned, Original seal, Mint

The Mosquito needs no introduction: the all-wooden "Wooden Wonder" that flew faster than the fighters sent to catch it and excelled at everything from precision low-level raids to night fighting. This kit covers both ends of that story, building either the radar-nosed NF.30 night fighter or the Mk.IX bomber with long-range tanks.

This is the original 1976 Matchbox tooling in its first-issue box, made in England by Lesney, with Roy Huxley art of 85 Squadron NF.30s on a low-level factory-busting raid over Germany, late 1944.

Box contents:

• Parts molded in three colours of plastic with clear parts
• Optional parts for NF.30 night fighter or Mk.IX bomber with long-range tanks
• Waterslide decals with two RAF options: NF.30 NT252 VY-Y of No. 85 Squadron, Swanington, November 1944, and Mk.IX ML913 GB-E of No. 105 Squadron, Marham, Norfolk, summer 1943
• Instruction leaflet with full Colour Plan and Mini-paint plan
