The J-20S is based on the J-20 airframe, with a lengthened canopy to accommodate a second seat. The second crew member is not tasked with training but operates as a mission systems officer responsible for managing electronic warfare tasks, coordinating long-range strike missions, controlling stealth drones such as loyal wingmen, and overseeing real-time network-centric operations. This dual-crew layout is intended to reduce pilot workload and improve mission effectiveness, particularly during extended-range operations. The J-20 is estimated to have nearly double the combat radius of U.S. F-22 or F-35 fighters. The J-20S possibly in a command and coordination role. It is positioned not only as an air superiority fighter but also as an airborne tactical node capable of managing manned and unmanned systems, including future platforms such as the Dark Sword UCAV.

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a larger and more advanced variant of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. An early version was marketed by McDonnell Douglas as Hornet 2000 in the 1980s. The Hornet 2000 concept was an advanced version of the F/A-18 with a larger wing, longer fuselage to carry more fuel and more powerful engines. The F/A-18E/F fuselage was stretched by 860 mm to make room for fuel and future avionics upgrades and increased the wing area by 25%. However, the Super Hornet has 42% fewer structural parts than the original Hornet design. The General Electric F414 engine, developed from the Hornet's F404, has 35% more power. The Super Hornet can return to an aircraft carrier with a larger load of unspent fuel and munitions than the original Hornet. The term for this ability is known as "bringback". Bringback for the Super Hornet is in excess of 9,000 pounds (4,100 kg). The Super Hornet first flew in 1995. Full-rate production began in September 1997. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the F-14 Tomcat since 2006. Features The kit consists of over 330 parts Fuselage & wing with finely engraved panel lines Canopy made from clear parts Finely detailed cockpit,gear cabin, Crew seats with photo-etched seat belts and harnesses.

Arguably the most unconventional Fairey-designed aircraft to enter full production, the Gannet was developed to meet a 1945 Royal Navy requirement for an advanced carrier-based turboprop-powered anti-submarine hunter-killer. Intended to counter the recent expansion of the Soviet submarine fleet at the start of the Cold War era, the Gannet was equipped with the last electronic detection equipment and if an enemy submarine was detected, it could be marked, tracked and attacked using bombs, depth charges, rockets and air-launched acoustic torpedoes. It was a highly effective anti-submarine aircraft, able to attack submarines on the surface or submerged. One feature of the Gannet that gave it a unique appearance was its innovative Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba powerplant. This arrangement saw two gas turbine engines mounted side by side, sharing a common gearbox, but operating independently, each engine driving its own coaxially mounted, contra-rotating propeller. Another unique feature was the bi-folding wing system, designed to allow this large aircraft to be stored aboard relatively small aircraft carriers.

A secret release that will inspire aviation model-makers.  This legendary aircraft has three scheme options to choose from, so you can decorate your 1:48 scale model kit in a variety of ways. A gleaming silver steed to be 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 Bristol Aeroplane Company, the Bulldog was the brainchild of accomplished aircraft designer Frank Barnwell, the man behind the successful Bristol F.2B Fighter of the Great War. It was a light, all-metal, fabric-covered fighter, powered by a 440hp Bristol Jupiter engine. The Bulldog was armed with a pair of forward-firing Vickers 0.303 in machine guns mounted 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. Bristol Bulldog Mk.IIA The Bristol Bulldog was a key British fighter of the inter-war years, designed by Frank Barnwell and powered by a 440 hp Bristol Jupiter engine. Though it never saw combat, it became famous for precision formation flying and aerobatics, showcasing the Royal Air Force’s modern capabilities at airshows across the country.

This model kit recreates the state-of-the-art F-35B Lightning II in easy to manage and display 1/72 scale. It inherits many of the detailed features first seen in our 1/48 scale release. Thanks to extensive research of the full-size subject, the B variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II model is poised to be the definitive model in 1/72 scale! Developed under the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program , the F-35 integrates multiple functions into its design and there are three types: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft, the F-35B short takeoff, vertical landing (STOVL), and the F-35C carrier takeoff and landing (CV). The F-35B was developed as a successor of the AV- 8B Harrier II. The F-35B is recognized as the aircraft which accomplished both supersonic flight and STOVL by the 3-bearing engine duct nozzle and lift fan, and following the F-35A, the F-35B deployment started in 2015. The first F-35B to see action was an aircraft belonging to the U.S. Marine Corps VMFA-211 “Wake Island Avengers” in Afghanistan, in September 2018. Not only the U.S. and the U.K. but also Italy employs the F-35B. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force also plans to launch a new fighter squadron with the F-35B from 2024 onward. As the F-35B can be operated from both aircraft carriers and airfields featuring short runways, many countries are considering its deployment, and the F-35B looks set to become a significant presence in the skies across the world. The F-35 Lightning II is an ambitious 5th Generation aircraft that aims to meet the needs of different U.S. service arms via three different variants, perhaps the most adventurous of which is the F-35B which combines extremely low observability and exceptional situational awareness with short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) capability facilitated by a lift fan positioned between the engine and cockpit, that lets it operate from smaller confines such as amphibious assault ships, light aircraft carriers and airfields with limited runway space. Its deployment is planned not only by the U.S. Marine Corps, but also by U.K. and Italian air arms. Get a close look at what makes this fascinating aircraft tick with our detailed and accurate model in the manageable 1/72 scale. Features 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Wingspan: 148mm, fuselage length: 215mm. The kit recreates the vertical landing and can be assembled in two ways; landed or hovering and ensures superior assembly with dedicated angled door parts. The parts faithfully depict a hovering aircraft with downward engine nozzle and opened doors. Features realistic renderings of half-open two inner weapon bay doors and interior details such as ribs and pipes. The nose landing gear and main landing gear can be depicted as extended (for hovering) or retracted (for landing). The lift fan is integrated with nose landing gear bay, and the variable vane underneath is recreated in detail. Shorter than on the F-35A, the engine nozzle is recreated by a single part. The 3BSM (3 Bearing Swivel Module) is faithfully recreated with a dedicated parts breakdown for this kit. RAM (Radar Absorbent Material) are molded into fuselage surfaces. Clear parts recreate canopy and EOTS fairing under the nose. Includes parts for AIM-9X Sidewinder x2 and AIM-120C AMRAAM x2. Y-shaped air intake duct for highly advanced stealth characteristics. Detailed cockpit, landing gear bays and roll posts. Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat. RCS (radar cross section) enhancers affixed to top and bottom sections during basic training exercises.

A Case of a Good Bubble The legendary Supermarine Spitfire is often credited with saving England during WWII. Among its many variants was the Mk.XVI, which was a Mk.IX airframe that was powered by a Merlin 266 engine license-built by Packard Motor Car Company in the United States. Most Mk.XVIs featured the larger rudder and E Type wing with two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm machine guns. With the introduction of the teardrop canopy, the rear upper fuel tank capacity was reduced to 33 gal. and that of the forward lower fuel tank was increased to 48 gal. to compensate. 1,054 Mk.XVIs produced were from September 1944 until July 1945. During the war, they were deployed on the European front and served as fighter-bombers. In the post-war period, the Mk.XVI was used by the RAF as well as the Belgian and Greek air forces until the early-1950s. The Supermarine Spitfire was designed by R.J. Mitchell and its distinctive silhouette makes it one of the most widely-recognized fighters of WWII. Famous for its exploits during the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire continued to evolve to counter newer Axis aircraft. As a result of this evolution, numerous variants of the Spitfire were born and served with distinction in the RAF as well as the air forces of many other countries until well after the end of WWII. The Spitfre Mk.XVI was almost identical to the Mk.IX in nearly all aspects except that most were powered by a Packard-built Merlin 266 engine which had taller dimensions than the Rolls Royce 66 engine and featured a bubble canopy with a “low back” fuselage. Other new structural changes saw the Mk.XVI equipped with a larger 96 gallon main fuel tank, as well as two additional fuel tanks installed at the rear of the fuselage and a larger oil sump to allow it to flylonger distances. Mk.XVIes were mainly used in ground-attack roles and came with the “E” armament configuration of two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm Browning machine guns. Also, as concrete tarmacs became more common as the war progressed, changes to the camber angle of the Spitfire’s landing gears were made to make for more efficient landings and take-offs. With the changes made to the new gun and cannon positioning, ammunition ejection ports, and the landing gear design, the wings featured new bulges compared to the Mk.IX. The Mk.XVIe, served with distinction throughout Europe for the latter half of the war. Features Challenging model production technology limits, the engine cowlings have an amazing 0.4mm thickness to allow for a fully accurate scale representation of the engine.
