COBI De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI #5718 – Wooden Wonder in Brick Form

The COBI De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI #5718 is a detailed brick-built model of one of the most remarkable aircraft of World War II. Known as the “Wooden Wonder,” the Mosquito earned its legendary status through speed, versatility, and innovative design.

Historical Significance

First taking flight in 1940, the De Havilland Mosquito was unique because it was constructed primarily of wood, conserving vital wartime metals. Despite its unconventional design, the Mosquito became one of the fastest aircraft of the war, capable of outrunning enemy fighters at low and medium altitudes. The FB Mk.VI variant was the fighter-bomber version, armed with four 20mm Hispano cannons, four .303 Browning machine guns, and the ability to carry bombs or rockets. It played a critical role in precision strikes, night fighting, pathfinding, and even daring raids deep into enemy territory. The Mosquito’s adaptability made it one of the most successful and admired Allied aircraft of the conflict.
