Corgi DH Mosquito PR.I - W4051, LY-U, No1. PRU, July 1941. AA32814

REF: AA32814  Scale 1:72  Wingspan 230mm  Limited Edition

The first production examples of the Mosquito were photo-reconnaissance machines. The prototype for the "Mosquito Photo-Reconnaissance Mark I (PR.I)", with the tail code "W4051", performed its first flight on 10 June 1941. The PR.I looked very much like a Mosquito bomber variant, as it retained the glass nose for camera targeting and the bomb-bay doors, but it included five camera ports. There was a port for an F24 oblique camera behind and below the wing, and twin ports for an F52 stereo camera pair behind the bomb bay doors. There was a port in the front of each bomb-bay doors, with the bomb bay accommodating either an F24 stereo camera pair or a single K17 camera. This model comes with free UK postage. This stunning model is available to buy from the die-cast-collector website.
