The Mosquito bomber version has the crew access hatch on the bottom of the fuselage just below the cockpit. The hatch is fairly small. In the case of a crash landing, or ditching in the sea, how did the crew escape…was there also an opening section of the canopy?
BTW: I’ve got Airfix’s 1/72 Mosquito B.XVl bomber (new tooled in 2021). It’s almost an excellent kit. From dry-fitting parts, the fit is very good, with no banana fuselage. Any surface detail (the Mosquito was mainly wood construction) is very fine and recessed. I was comparing it with Special Hobby kit, new-tooled in 2025, and is in some respects superior. The Special Hobby kit, although also very fine, has many sink holes, and depressions, most of which need to be filled 
. However, the Special Hobby kit has much better landing gear struts, and the the canopy appears to be thinner with the frame better defined. The crew access hatch is also a seperate part so it can be modeled open, unlike the Airfix kit. If it wasn’t for the sinks on the Special Hobby kit, it would be excellent. And if it wasn’t for the less detailed landing gear on the Airfix kit, it would also be excellent!
From Quora
The Mosquito featured a two-piece canopy that could be difficult to jettison or open quickly under stress. In some configurations, the rear canopy could obstruct the pilot’s exit, especially if the aircraft was in a tailspin or experiencing other instability
These are the words of a Beaufighter pilot, Jack Colman, on his impressions as he was transitioning to Mosquito fighter-bombers:
Getting in and out looked difficult too - it was via a tiny door in the side of the fuselage, squeezed between the leading edge of the wing and the prop. It hinged forward, so there would be no chance of opening it against the slipstream in the air; even if you could, you would probably be clobbered by the prop. So, the only way out in a hurry would be to jettison the port half of the canopy, turn the thing upside down, and hope you could both drop clear."

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched it, but I do remember a scene in 633 Squadron where they popped a hatch in the canopy to escape from a crash landing. Makes sense as the entry hatch is very low under the cockpit.
I might be wrong about this, but I have a vague recollection about the kits bomb doors featuring moulded on fittings for a towed target. I seem to recall this was a result of Airfix laser scanning an ex-target tug.
I think Freightdog Models made a correction set for it, but it might be an easy fix. Check references to be sure.
I’m going to do a little digging around and see what I can turn up, just in case I’m thinking of another kit. New Airfix are nice, but they have a habit of making silly mistakes. Don’t get me started on the recent Beaufort rebox!
Found a review making reference to the bomb door errors.
And Freightdog did make a correction set. Out of stock at the moment, but looks like the kit parts can be fixed with a little work.
Hope this helps with the project, would be great to see a build of it here.
Freightdog have the corrected Mossie bomb bay doors back in stock.
