The Mustang was designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine (which had limited high-altitude performance in its earlier variants). The aircraft was first flown operationally by the RAF as a tactical-reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber (Mustang Mk I). Replacing the Allison with a Rolls-Royce Merlin resulted in the P-51B/C (Mustang Mk III) model and transformed the aircraft's performance at altitudes above 15,000 ft (4,600 m) (without sacrificing range), allowing it to compete with the Luftwaffe's fighters. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed two-stage-supercharged Merlin 66, and was armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2/AN Browning machine guns. FEATURES Super-detailed Packard Merlin engine Nice Hamilton Standard propeller Lots of detail firewall forward so you'll want to be able to look upon this detail after assembly Choice of closed or open cowling Beautifully detailed cockpit right down to wiring harnesses Choice of pilot's seat with and without belts/harness detail Choice of three canopy types Choice of two gunsights Positionable canopy

The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil ("Arrow") was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The two-seater trainer version was also called Ameisenbär ("anteater"). The Pfeil's performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique "push-pull" layout and the much lower aerodynamic drag of the in-line alignment of the two engines. It was Germany's fastest piston-engined aircraft of World War II. The Luftwaffe was desperate to get the design into operational use, but delays in engine deliveries meant only a handful were delivered before the war ended.High quality, precision plastic model kit. Paint and glue not included. Requires assembly and painting. For intermediate to advanced skill modellers.

The Shiden Kai was a Japanese Navy fighter plane that was active during World War II and the Pacific War. The Shiden made before the Shiden Kai had the wings attached to the center of the fuselage (called a mid-wing configuration), which caused poor visibility and trouble with the legs attached to the wings being too long. This prompted the fuselage to be redesigned and the wings placed under the fuselage (called a low-wing configuration). The aircraft with this improved design is called the Shiden Kai. The Shiden Kai was a much more powerful aircraft than the Shiden. The Shiden Kai was deployed primarily to the 343rd Air Group at Matsuyama Air Base in Shikoku, and was used to defend the airspace of western Japan, mainly in the naval ports of Hiroshima and Kure.

Spitfire Mk.Ia (Late) ‘Battle of Britain’ The legendary Supermarine Type 300 “Spitfire” is undoubtedly one of the most famous, and perhaps the most beautiful, aircraft of all time. Designed from 1934 under the guidance of Supermarine Aviation Works’ chief designer Reginald Mitchell, Joseph Smith and “Alf” Faddy, the 990hp Rolls-Royce Merlin “C” powered prototype first flew on 5 March 1936. It was immediately obvious that it was something very special and an initial production order was placed in early June 1936 for 310 aircraft. Numerous delays at Supermarine and many of the approximately 150 sub-contractors ensured that the first production Spitfire was not completed until mid-May 1938 and the final aircraft from the order was only delivered in September 1939. Early production Spitfire Mk.I in the K9### & L10## serial number range (completed between May 1938 and September 1939), were initially powered by a 1030hp Rolls-Royce Merlin II engine and featured a 2-blade fixed pitch propeller, 8 Browning .303” machine guns, triple ejector nozzle outlet exhaust manifolds, a tall un-tapered aerial mastt and a rear fuselage adorned with raised rivets for ease of construction. The main planes and front of the fuselage were flush riveted and puttied and sanded smooth for improved performance. Numerous improvements were introduced throughout production, most of which were eventually retrofitted to earlier aircraft which included gun heating, Rolls-Royce Merlin III engine, 3-blade dual-pitch DeHavilland propeller, exhaust manifolds of simplified construction, a taller canopy hood for improved visibility, armoured windscreen glass and protective plating over the upper fuel tank which necessitated shortening the engine cowlings slightly.  Mid production Mk.Ia in the N3### & P9### serial number range (completed between September 1939 and April 1940), saw the introduction of an improved lever-operated “dual position” cockpit door catch, reflector gun sight, tapered aerial post, voltage regulator positioned behind the pilot’s headrest and a constant speed DeHavilland propeller. On selected aircraft, a constant speed Rotol RX5/1 propeller and the temporary installation of the TR.1133 VHF radio, which did not require an external aerial wire.  Late production Mk.Ia in the R6####, R7### & X4### serial number range (completed between May 1940 and April 1941 and featured in this model) and AR2## (from July 1941 to January 1942) saw the introduction of constant speed DeHavilland propellers and armour plates behind the pilot’s seat & headrest (which were retrofitted to earlier production aircraft) as well as engine driven undercarriage retraction. Other incremental changes were introduced such as a composite “plastic” seat, fire-proof bulkhead, revised “raised rivet” radio access door, station keeping lights in the fuel tank plating, re-installation of the TR.1133 VHF radio and saw the elimination of the gauge for the top fuel tank, fuel pressure gauge, priming cock and front parachute flare tube. Some Mk.I were armed with 2 Hispano 20mm cannons and were designated the Spitfire Mk.Ib (at which time the 8 gun armed aircraft was re-designated the Mk.Ia). The cannons proved to be so unreliable that the Mk.Ib was withdrawn from service until improvements had been made in late 1940. Numerous engine, airframe and armament improvements were made to the Spitfire before production ceased in 1948, by which time over 22000 had been produced in 2-dozen variants with the most notable being the 1030hp Mk.I, 1470hp Mk.V, 1720hp Mk.IX, 2035hp Mk.XIV, the photo-reconnaissance Mk.XI and the navalised Seafire Mk.III.  Spitfire Mk.I colour schemes are surprisingly varied and complicated. Interior areas were primed with light grey before being painted aluminium, except for the cockpit between frames 8 & 11 which was painted in a colour described as “Supermarine green” and “apple green”. Note that this is different from the paler, greyer, “Grey Green” (of which various colour mixes have additionally been noted) used on later production Spitfires built by other manufacturers. Major internal components supplied by sub-contractors could be delivered in various shades of grey-green or aluminium or even black. The underside paint finish on late production Mk.Ia completed in May-June were painted Night (black) on the port wing, and white on the starboard (split along the centerline) with aluminium front undercowl and fuselage. From later in June 1940 the undersides were intended to be painted “Sky Type S…duck egg bluish green”, but sky grey and sky blue also appear to have been used, especially when repainting previous Night and white undersides, and then from November 1940 the port main plane (only) was again finished in Night. On very late production Mk.Ia the underside colour was applied with a soft edge.  Contemporary photos confirm different shades of Dark Earth and Dark Green (even on the same airframe) which were applied with a hard demarcation line. Spitfire Mk.I camouflage was applied in 2 designs, the A and B schemes which were mirrors of each other. Spitfire sub-assemblies were usually supplied pre-painted so a single aircraft could exhibit a variety of shades, and sometimes the camouflage pattern would not match perfectly from one sub-assembly/component to the next. Additionally, extensive weathering and re-painting also helped ensure that a wide variety of tonal differences could be seen. The fabric-covered rudder, elevator and ailerons were undercoated in red-brown dope before being painted and frequently appear paler than the adjacent camouflaged metal parts. Therefore, unfortunately, there is no “one true” Dark Earth, Dark Green, Sky Type S or interior grey-green paint colour suitable for all Spitfire Mk.I models so, while we have tried our best with our paint suggestions, there is no doubt many will disagree with us. Which is OK.

The Antonov An-26 (NATO reporting name: Curl) was a Soviet twin-engine, high-wing transport aircraft of the Cold War era. Power was provided by two Ivchenko AI-24T turboprop engines , each developing 2,820 hp, and an auxiliary RU-19-A jet engine. The prototype first flew in 1969, and series production lasted from 1969 to 1986. A total of approximately 1,400 aircraft of this type, in all versions, were built. The Antonov An-26 was designed as a de facto development of the An-24T. Compared to its predecessor, the new aircraft gained a rear ramp, significantly speeding up unloading and loading. The aircraft also received an auxiliary jet engine, significantly facilitating takeoff from high-altitude airfields and in hot and tropical climates. During production, numerous developments of the aircraft were created, including the An-26 (basic version), the An-26B (civilian transport version), and the An-26D (extended-range version). Many aircraft of this type remain in service. Includes Sprues with parts 1 frame of transparent plastic (canopy) Decal (sticker) Scheme for painting model Detailed instruction

The De Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide is a British, twin-engine mixed airliner, which can take 8 passengers and 2 crew members. The DH.89 is a successful development of the DH.84 aircraft. The DH.89 was flown in 1934. The first versions used de Havilland Gipsy Six engines with a capacity of 200HP each, later they were replaced by de Havilland Gipsy Queen 2 and 3 engines. Until 1939, about 200 DH.89 were produced. During the war, many of these great planes were used by the RAF for pilot training and communication purposes under the name of De Havilland Domine. Due to its good flight characteristics, simple operation and low maintenance costs, the DH.89 Dragon Rapide was widely used in civil aviation after World War II in many countries around the world. Many copies are flying to the present day. Technical data: Maximum speed: 253 km / h, speed of climb: 4.3 m / s, maximum ceiling 5090 m, maximum range: 920 km.

The Morane-Saulnier MS.406 was the French Air Force’s most numerous fighter at the start of WWII. While it struggled against the Bf 109E in France, it found extraordinary success in the hands of the Finnish Air Force (Ilmavoimat). During the Winter War and the Continuation War, Finnish pilots utilized the MS.406’s agility to achieve an impressive kill-to-loss ratio against Soviet aircraft. Top Finnish aces, such as Urho Lehtovaara, became legends flying the “Morane,” often modifying the aircraft with local improvements like the “Mörkö-Morane” engine conversions to keep them competitive.

The Messerschmitt M-23A is a 1920s two-seater sports aircraft designed by German aircraft designer Willy Messerschmitt. At the time, in Europe, aircraft engine manufacturers hosted their own air races to showcase their technological prowess, competing exclusively with aircraft powered by their own engines. Willy Messerschmitt's Bayerische Aviation Werkzeugwerke (BFW) designed the M-23 to be compatible with a variety of engines for each race, and by participating in multiple races, it achieved numerous prestigious victories. Just like the real aircraft, this kit allows you to select from three different engines during assembly -- the Salmson AD9, the ABC Scorpion, or the A.S. Genet. 

The BFW M.23, sometimes known as the Messerschmitt M 23, was a 1920s two-seat sporting aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt, and produced by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW). Examples won several prestigious races in 1929 and 1930. Includes sprues with parts 1 frame of transparent plastic (canopy) decal (sticker) scheme for painting model detailed instruction

The AMP 48026 Schneider Trophy Series Supermarine S.6A is a high-quality 1/48 scale plastic model kit of a British racing seaplane developed for the prestigious Schneider Trophy competition. The aircraft was used by Great Britain during the interwar period , when competition for speed records fueled the development of modern aviation. The Supermarine S.6A was a development of earlier Supermarine designs and marked a significant milestone in the development of the aircraft led by Reginald Mitchell. The experience gained during its design contributed to the later record-breaking S.6 and S.6B seaplanes, and ultimately to the legendary Supermarine Spitfire fighter. Aircraft of this family competed in the Schneider Trophy competitions in the late 1920s and early 1930s, setting new standards in performance and aerodynamics. The model is made of high-quality plastic and faithfully reproduces the aircraft's distinctive fuselage, floats, and sleek silhouette. It's an excellent model kit for enthusiasts of historical aviation, record-breaking designs, and interwar aircraft.
