AIRCRAFT KITS (205)

With so many airworthy two-seat Spitfires currently offering members of the public once-in-a-lifetime flight experience opportunities around the country, it’s interesting that every Spitfire T.9 started as a single-seat fighter, either a Mk.VIII or more commonly, a Mk.IX. Also, despite the Spitfire being arguably the most famous fighting aeroplane in history, with over 20,000 aircraft eventually produced, no official two-seat training variants were produced during the Second World War. A post-war phenomenon, the current fleet of Spitfire T.9s is helping to preserve the legacy of this magnificent aircraft.

Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II is a 5th Generation fighter developed with three distinct variants: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft, the F-35B short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) design, and the F-35C intended for carrier deployment. Aircraft have been delivered since 2015. The F-35C has larger wings and horizontal stabilizer than other F-35 variants in light of its carrier deployment design, as well as a reinforced nose landing gear with dual tires to help it withstand the punishment of carrier landings, plus a launch bar for catapult assisted takeoffs. It low observability promises to give U.S. Navy operations a new dimension. As of 2024, the F-35C is deployed with six active Navy and Marine Corps units. A, B and C All Together The F-35C joins the A and B variants in the Tamiya 1/48 Aircraft Series! Enjoy the intuitive parts breakdowns and assembly process, and marvel at the detail while comparing the F-35C with the other two variants and seeing just what makes this carrier aircraft different.

The second of America's great four-engined heavy bombers of the Second World War, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator actually began development after the Army Air Corps approached the company to build B-17 Flying Fortresses. Unimpressed at the prospect, Consolidated proposed that they could design and produce their own bomber in the same time it would take them to establish production lines, and it would be better than a Flying Fortress. When their XB-24 prototype took to the air on 29th December 1939, it was a very different-looking aeroplane to the B-17 Flying Fortress, with its shoulder-mounted thin wings, deep, yet narrow fuselage and twin-boom tail, it had a maritime aircraft appearance about it. Following its eventual USAAF introduction in 1941, the B-24 Liberator was produced in vast quantities, serving in every theatre during the Second World War, and making a vital contribution to the Allied War effort.

Originally designed as a long-range fighter, the three-seat twin-engine Nakajima J1N1 was designated as a reconnaissance aircraft after failing testing. Following being successfully used as a night fighter against US bombers, official production began in 1943 on a night fighter version, the J1N1-S Gekko (moonlight). Modifications included removing third seat, adding twin-mounted 20mm guns behind cockpit canopy angled up at 30 degrees and underneath fuselage angled down at 30 degrees. The Gekko proved successful against B-17 and B-24 bombers, and continued to fight until the end of WWII. The later version, the J1N1-Sa, featured singular exhaust stacks and three 20mm cannons mounted in upper fuselage with lower guns removed. Some later Gekko models also featured an antenna and radar system mounted on the nose. Features 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit Fuselage length: 263mm Rear fuselage adapted for three guns accurately reproduced. Gun hatch can be assembled as opened or closed, allowing display of gun parts. Includes parts to produce with or without antennas. Singular exhaust stacks reproduced to perfection. Canopy can be assembled as opened or closed, allowing display of intricately detailed cockpit interior and equipment. Comes with two figures and includes decal markings for three aircraft.

A gleaming silver steed flown by the most capable and intrepid young men Britain could call upon, the Bristol Bulldog was one of the most important British aircraft of the inter-war period, when powerful biplane fighters unquestionably ruled the skies. Initially developed as a private venture by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, the Bulldog was the brainchild of accomplished aircraft designer Frank Barnwell, the man behind the successful Bristol F2B Fighter of the Great War, and was a light, all-metal and fabric-covered fighter, powered by a 440hp Bristol Jupiter engine.The Bulldog was armed with a pair of forward-firing Vickers 0.303" machine guns mounted on either side of the cockpit, but ultimately never fired its guns in anger during a relatively short seven-year period serving with Fighter Command. Although it was the most capable fighter of the day, the Bulldog was more closely associated with challenging formation flying and spectacular aerobatics, with the Royal Air Force thrilling huge crowds at airshows and pageants around the country, as they demonstrated the effectiveness of a modernising air force.What the Bulldog did do was help advance Britain's aviation industry towards the production of the sleek, monoplane fighters which would contest the Second World War, as it highlighted the fact that biplane designs were fast approaching their zenith. Perhaps the most famous incident involving a Bristol Bulldog proved to be a rather unfortunate one, when an accomplished, but rather headstrong RAF pilot performed unauthorised low-altitude aerobatics for a group of onlookers and a private civilian aerodrome in Berkshire.Flying so low that the wingtip of his fighter struck the ground during a manoeuvre, the Bulldog cartwheeled across the airfield, inflicting catastrophic injuries on the pilot - that pilot was future Second World War RAF ace and inspirational national hero Douglas Bader.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 15.9 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 21.4 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 120 Item Scale: 1:48 Scale Contents (what's in the box) sets: Plastic kit, instruction sheet, paint guide and decal sheet.

Representing one of the most glamorous aircraft types to ever take to the skies, the Boeing 314 Clipper was produced to allow passengers and cargo to travel across the vast expanses of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, in levels of style and comfort which rivalled those on the great ocean liners. Twelve aircraft were produced for Pan American World Airways and BOAC, however, the start of the Second World War resulted in these opulent flying boats being used mainly for military purposes, with aircraft serving as transport for Franklin D Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.

First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf FW190 was an immediate threat to RAF fighters when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire V then in service. The F-8 was the ground-attack version and differed primarily in its lack of outboard cannons. Various combinations of underwing weapons were fitted, but the most common was one centreline bomb and four small bombs on the wings. The A-8 version was the most numerous, heavily armed variant and entered service in 1944 in an attempt to stop Allied daylight raids. By then, however, the new Allied fighters had begun to outclass it.

Carrying on the Fight With its combination of high speed and heavy armament, the Corsair was a formidable aircraft active in the latter half of WWII. As a versatile bird it had a number of variants, among them the F4U-1D, which was the first Corsair to be officially deployed on U.S. aircraft carriers. Features unique to the F4U-1D included a frame-less semi-bubble canopy, thicker propeller blade roots, a raised pilot's seat and more. Armament took the form of six 12.7mm machine guns mounted in the gull wing, with a pylon under each side of the root allowing it to carry two 1,000lb bombs or drop tanks. The outer wing could be fitted with 4 rockets on each side. The F4U-1D was an important presence on its carriers, joining attacks on the Japanese archipelago in February 1945 as U.S. forces advanced. This is the D variant of the popular Corsair World War II fighter plane. It uses new parts to recreate features specific to the F4U-1D, which was the first Corsair to be cleared for use on aircraft carriers. This fighter-bomber could carry drop tanks on new hard points under the wing root, and up to 8 rockets under the outer wing. It provided invaluable close support for ground troops during landings in places such as the Philippines and Okinawa, and continued to serve after WWII, in Korea. F4U-1D Specific Detail differences from previous variants The semi-bubble canopy was altered during production to remove upper side frames and improve visibility. Propeller blades were thicker from the root. Hardpoints under the wing root allowed carrying of bombs and drop tanks. The tail wheel cover had a new fairing to improve aerodynamics. Outer wing sections had extended metal areas with mounts for eight rockets total. Cockpit floor window was scrapped. Features 1/32 scale plastic model assembly kit. New parts recreating 1D-specific features. Gull wings can be assembled extended or folded. The model can be assembled as parked or airborne, with relevant landing gear, tail wheel and strut parts for both included, as well as a stand. Comes with both seated and standing pilot figures. Photo-etched parts included for added realism. Marking options (2 total) for VF-84 (Navy) and VMF-351 (US Marine Corps) aircraft included. Includes the 12-page B5 full color booklet from previous 1/32 Corsair models.

This plastic assembly kit reproduces the F-15C Eagle, which was considered to be the best air-superiority fighter in the world for a long period of time. Features The large 1/32 scale kit features clever engineering such as screws for attaching the wings to the fuselage and die-cast metal landing gear legs. The radome and gun access hatch may be opened to reveal mechanical details inside while the air intakes and horizontal stabilizers are movable. The canopy and airbrake may be assembled in open or closed positions as well. An impressive array of ordnance, two crew figures, and three marking options are also included. Specifications Length: 605mm Wingspan: 408mm

Arguably the only German aircraft of the Second World War that could rival the Messerschmitt Bf 109 for notoriety, the Heinkel He-111 may have started its development masquerading as a civilian airliner, but it became one of the most feared bombers of the conflict. With its fully glazed nose and large, elliptical wings, the H-6 was the most produced variant of this famous bomber, serving in every theatre of war during the Second World War in the bombing, torpedo-bombing, mine-laying and reconnaissance roles. The lack of an effective replacement meant that these aircraft were forced to soldier on until the end of the war.

The Bristol Blenheim was conceived as a privately funded high-speed civilian aircraft, intended to wrestle the record for the fastest civilian aircraft in Europe away from the Germans. Successfully achieving this, it immediately attracted the attention of the RAF. At the outbreak of the Second World War, the Blenheim was available in more numbers than any other RAF aircraft.

This is a model assembly kit of the Tomcat F-14D, which is an updated version of the aircraft that served until the Tomcat was withdrawn from Navy service in 2006. It featured an improved engine in the shape of the General Electric F110, and the aircraft’s transition from the earlier carrier-based fighter models to the F-14D multi-role aircraft was facilitated by digital updates to radar and fire control systems. Some F-14Ds were newly-constructed, while conversions from F-14As also existed. Features 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Fuselage length: 398mm, wingspan: 408mm (with variable sweep wing in fully forward position).Captures F-14D-specific features such as the engine afterburner nozzles, vertical stabilizers and even minute panel lines. A detailed cockpit includes depictions of updated instrument panels and ejection seats. Model parts depict late variants of Phoenix, Sparrow and Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. Also included are parts for drop tank, laser- and GPS-guided bombs, LANTIRN targeting pod, TARPS reconnaissance pod and jamming pod. Features moving depiction of variable sweep wing. 2 sets of parts - interchangeable after completion – depict sealing plates and air bags with wing in fully swept and fully forward positions. Poly caps allow movement of horizontal stabilizers. Comes with realistic figures depicting pilot and RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) in seated pose. Includes high-quality decals. Masking stickers for use when painting the canopy included.  

From the perspective of a student pilot, the de Havilland Tiger Moth was a relatively stable and forgiving aircraft to fly, possessing few handling vices and being generally supportive of the odd silly mistake by the novice pilot.It quickly gained a reputation as being an ‘easy aeroplane to fly, but a difficult one to fly well’, qualities which seemed to make this the ideal aircraft to serve as a primary/basic trainer for large numbers of pilots destined to fly operationally during WWII.At the start of the war, the RAF had around 500 Tiger Moths in service, but would requisition hundreds more from flying clubs up and down the country.The De Havilland Tiger Moth is a British mixed training biplane with a fixed undercarriage. The prototype flight took place in 1931. The first production version, powered by the 120hp de Havilland Gipsy III engine, was the Mk.I. Soon after, however, the engine was changed to the de Havilland Gipsy Major with 130hp, and this is how the Mk.II version was created. Serial production started in 1933 and continued until 1944. The Tiger Moth was one of the RAF's primary training aircraft during World War II.Markings Scheme A.

Significant in the history of aerial warfare, the Fokker Eindecker was the first purpose-built First World War German fighter aircraft and the first to be fitted with gun synchronisation gear. This gear allowed the pilot to shoot through the arc of the propeller and in his line of sight. Once introduced, it took a withering toll on Allied aircraft.

E-75 Mech Twin 50mm Guns Assault Tank The E-75 Mech Twin 50mm Guns Assault Tank is a specialized anti-infantry and light-armor combat variant of the E-75 Heavy Mech series. Retaining the Type G's turret design, this version replaces the 128mm high-velocity cannon with dual 50mm autocannons, significantly improving its ability to engage infantry, light vehicles, and lightly armored targets. With a total production of approximately 400 units, this variant was designed to operate in supporting roles, providing rapid sustained fire against enemy forces while retaining the ability to penetrate light and medium armor. It proved to be effective in urban combat and combined arms operations, where its high rate of fire and maneuverability allowed it to outmatch conventional armored vehicles. Development and Design Following the deployment of the E-75 Type G, commanders identified a growing need for a mech variant that could effectively counter infantry formations while maintaining some level of anti-armor capability. The twin 50mm autocannon system was selected due to its high rate of fire, moderate armor penetration, and versatility against both infantry and light tanks. This design allowed the E-75 Twin 50mm Assault Tank to serve as a mobile fire-support unit, rapidly suppressing enemy positions and engaging light armored vehicles and fortifications. While its 50mm cannons lacked the armor-piercing power of the 128mm main gun, they were capable of flanking heavy tanks and destroying them from the side, making this mech a valuable asset in tactical battlefield maneuvers.

B-52G Stratofortress - USAF Strategic Bomber In 1948, the US Department of Defense placed an order with Boeing to develop a new strategic bomber with a flight capacity and range exceeding all existing ones, capable of attacking targets anywhere on the globe. The result of this order was the design of the XB-52 aircraft with 20 ° slant wings, equipped with 6 turbo propeller engines. After obtaining jet engines (strictly after purchasing their license in Great Britain), it was significantly modified; the skew of the wings was increased to 35 °, and the number of engines was increased to eight, placing them in pairs on the under-wing pylons; the landing gear of the plane was resolved in an unconventional way. In 1949, after presenting the model to the recipient and obtaining its approval, the construction of prototypes began, using the experience gained in the design and construction of the earlier B-47 Stratojet bomber. The prototype of the B-52 was flown on April 15, 1952 Specification Scale: 1/72 Length: 673mm Wingspan: 783mm Height: 172mm  

USAF B-2A Spirit Stealth strategic Bomber This is a plastic model kit. Glue and paint will be required to complete the kit. Includes: Plastic sprue Photo-etched fret Decalsheet (waterslide)

The Ki-74-II Otokai is a high-speed bomber for the Japanese Army, developed and manufactured by Tachikawa Aircraft at the end of the war using technology introduced by German submarines. It was being developed as a long-range reconnaissance aircraft for the Soviet Union, which was considered a de facto enemy, but its specifications were changed midway through to a high-speed bomber capable of strategic bombing. This "Otsukai" demonstrated better performance than expected in test flights, and the Imperial Headquarters made a plan for a counter-landing on Allied-controlled Saipan in cooperation with a ground landing force. A total of 14 of these aircraft were actually manufactured and distributed to independent squadrons. During the Saipan Reverse Landing Operation, the 2nd Independent Squadron acted as a lead bomber and caused extensive damage to parked B-29s and the runway, but despite being supported by sufficient escort aircraft, they returned home. There were only three aircraft. The reason for this is unclear, as many officials have remained silent other than to state that it was not a problem with the aircraft, but there is a belief within the Graduate School of Military History that even if the new American bomb were to be used at the cost of lives, it would be completely unacceptable. It is said that this was probably due to the pilot's intention to confirm the destruction. After the war, a number of documentaries were produced stating that without this aircraft and Kabuto Kai's role in the Saipan Reverse Landing Operation, ``Japan could have become the first country in human history to drop nuclear bombs on humans.'' However, most of the programs end with the conclusion that ``the United States would never have used nuclear weapons against humans in the end anyway.'' Features Japanese Army Ki74-II Otsu Kai is reproduced on 1/48 scale with Fist of War's unique interpretation. Details inside the cockpit and bomb bay are also reproduced. Bomb bay hatch can be opened or closed. One Type 3 No. 10 No. 5 bomb (same type as SC1000) can be stored inside the bomb. Basic specifications are in parked state, but flight state can also be assembled. Each hatch, landing gear, etc. can be selected between parked state and flight state. Air brake, flap angle, etc. can be selected to open or close. The number of parts is small, the details and fitting are excellent, and assembly is easy. Comes with Cartograph decals. This product is an unassembled and unpainted assembly model. The illustration is an image of the product. There may be some differences from the actual product.

Focke-Wulf Fast Bomber WWII LUFTWAFFE Secret Project F In the tumultuous years of the 1940s, a shadowy project emerged from the corridors of innovation, shattering the conventional norms of aviation. The FW 1000, a jet fighter-bomber that soared beyond the boundaries of its era, was a testament to audacious vision and pioneering ingenuity. What set the FW 1000 apart was not merely its propulsion system or weaponry, but its radical flying wing design—a sleek and seamless silhouette that challenged the very essence of conventional aircraft. Conceived as a triad of speed, range, and payload, the FW 1000 was a daring dream etched in the annals of aviation history.Over time, you can continue to expand your collection by adding new models, including limited-edition releases, special paint schemes, and models from ModelCollect With a mind-bending top speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, the FW 1000 sought to redefine the limits of aerial velocity, pushing the boundaries of what was deemed achievable in the 1940s. Its impressive range of 1000 kilometers was no less revolutionary, envisioning a strategic reach that could alter the dynamics of military operations. Yet, perhaps the most astonishing feat was the aircraft's payload capacity—a formidable 1000 kilograms of bombs. The FW 1000 was not merely a speed demon; it was a formidable force capable of striking with precision and power. Specification 1/48 Scale When completed, the overall length will be approximately 125 mm and the overall width approximately 219 mm.

An aircraft that must surely be considered one of the most distinctive types to have ever seen Fleet Air Arm service, the Fairey Gannet was as capable as it was unique and was significant as the only post-war military contract to be won by the famous Fairey Aviation Company. Arguably the most unconventional Fairey designed aircraft to enter full production, the Gannet was developed in response to a 1945 Royal Navy requirement for an advanced carrier-based, turboprop-powered anti-submarine hunter-killer, one which was rugged enough to withstand the rigors of operation at sea.  Intended to counter the recent expansion of the Soviet submarine fleet at the start of the Cold War era, the Gannet was equipped with all manner of the latest electronic detection equipment and if an enemy submarine was detected, it could be marked, tracked, and if necessary, attacked, using bombs, depth charges, rockets, and air-launched acoustic torpedoes. One feature of the Gannet which helped to give it a unique appearance was the adoption of its powerplant, the innovative Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba. This arrangement saw two gas turbine engines mounted side by side in the nose of the gannet, sharing a common gearbox, but both operating independently, each engine driving its own coaxially mounted, contra-rotating propeller. In addition to this, the engines could run on kerosene and even diesel fuel, which was safer to handle and less refined than traditional aviation fuels.  This arrangement provided Gannet crews with more than enough power for carrier operations, with the reassurance of two engines when embarking on long ocean patrols. Once in flight, the pilot could shut down one of the engines to conserve fuel and whilst this would reduce the Gannet's maximum speed, it would extend its loiter capabilities. Usually, a pilot would alternate engine use during a long patrol, running each engine for around an hour before swapping to the other engine - the engine mounted on the port side drove the front propeller. Another unique feature of the Gannet's design was its bi-folding wing system, something which was designed to allow this large aircraft to operate safely and to be stored aboard one of the Royal Navy's relatively small aircraft carriers. When a pilot engaged the wing unfold, this ingenious system not only prepared the wings for flight, but also automatically connected all flight control systems, hydraulic connections and fuel pipes to the main system, without any ground crew intervention.  In operation, there are reports that the Gannet was so rugged a design that when one aircraft lost the outer sections of both wings after performing a particularly violent manoeuvre, the aircraft still managed to make it back safely to its home carrier, something which can only have endeared the aircraft to its crews still further. The Fairey Gannet would prove to be an extremely rugged and highly effective anti-submarine aircraft, one which could carry an impressive array of offensive ordnance and one which was able to attack submarines either on the surface, or when submerged and trying to evade its attentions. Well-liked by air and ground crews alike, 348 Gannets would eventually be produced and in addition to serving with Britain's Fleet Air Arm, the aircraft would also see service with the navies of Australia, Germany and Indonesia.

Back from the Brink The P-51D Mustang is viewed by many as one of the most successful aircraft of WWII, but this unique design with laminar flow wing still had plenty to offer after that conflict had ended. In 1950, by now having been re-named the F-51D when the U.S. Air Force was separated from the Army in 1947, it was called into action in the Korean War; airfields on the Korean peninsula were ill-suited to jet aircraft and the F-51D still had the necessary range and ordnance to roll back the years and do the job as a front line fighter. Considered by many the most capable WWII fighters, the Mustang was also active in the Korean War, and this model creates one such F-51D. Renamed from the P-51D to the F-51D to go along with the creation of the US Air Force, the Mustang seemed set for gradual retirement as the jet aircraft took center stage. With the outbreak of hostilities on the Korean peninsula, however, that all changed. United Nations forces were hard pushed in the early stages of the war, and USAF P-80s were unable to land in areas where there were frequently no proper runways. The F-51D stepped in and performed admirably in a ground attack role as the United Nations forces pushed back. Features 1/32 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 308mm, wingspan: 354mm.
