AIRCRAFT KITS (364)

In May 1965, the Defence Ministries of France and the UK agreed on a joint programme to develop a supersonic trainer and tactical strike aircraft. France had already decided upon the Brequet 1221 design and this, together with the Rolls-Royce/Turbomeca Adour engine became the basis of the Jaguar. Design leadership was with both Brequet Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation, so the companies established the joint company SEPECAT to coordinate production. The first two-seat Jaguar trainer flew in September 1968 and the first single-seater in March 1969. Production GR.1 aircraft entered RAF service with 54 sqn in March 1974. The French Air Force phased the type into service earlier in June 1973. The GR.1 for the RAF was a single-seat all-weather strike and ground attack fighter equipped with NAVWASS (navigating and weapons aiming sub-system) enabling it to attack without using radars. Based mostly in Germany, RAF Jaguars were used for rapid deployment and regional reinforcement, and others flew in the tactical nuclear strike role carrying the WE177 bomb. Upgraded GR.1A Jaguars flew successfully in the 1990 Gulf War, where 12 aircraft flew 612 combat sorties without loss. The final Jaguars were retired from RAF service in April 2007.

During RAF air operations in the Gulf War of 1991, the effectiveness of Iraqi anti-aircraft defences resulted in Tornado and Jaguar strike missions having to be flown at higher altitudes, thus reducing their effectiveness.They needed the support of the RAF's ageing Blackburn Buccaneer jets with their 'Pave Spike' laser designator equipment to deliver ‘smart’ munitions effectively, the only trouble was, these aircraft were back at their home base in Scotland.The race was on to prepare and fly twelve Buccaneers in newly applied 'Desert Camouflage' and their laser designator equipment to the Persian Gulf and in just a matter of days, the self-titled 'Sky Pirates' were on their way.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 26.8 Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 6.88 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 18.6 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 141 Item Scale: 1:72 License line: BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.

In many air arms it smoothed the transition to monoplane fighters. And when confronting aircraft of its own era, it performed well.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 11.8 Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 4.97 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 13.7 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 51 Item Scale: 1:72 Scale License line: BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.

In Desperate Defense The Hien was officially adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) in 1943, and stood out among its Japanese aircraft contemporaries in the Pacific War on account of its liquid-cooled Ha-40 engine, slimline fuselage and long, elegant wing. A number of different variants were produced, among them the Ki-61-Id which featured a 20cm-elongated nose to house 20mm cannons, plus 12.7mm machine guns in the wing. In fact, with 1,360 units it was the most prolifically produced Hien variant; its superior performance at higher altitudes meant that it was often given the brief of taking on incoming U.S. B29 bombers Decals These decals recreate the complex mottled camouflage seen on 244th Air Group aircraft. Five decals are used, each covering a section: left/right wings, fuselage left/right, and antenna. Perfect for those without the time to tackle a complex paint job. Features This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Fuselage length: 125mm, wingspan: 167mm. The model accurately depicts the Ki-61-Id Type Hien with elongated nose and slim fuselage. Complex underbelly air intake slats are artfully depicted using a single part. Features impressive detail in cockpit interior and landing gear bays. Comes with 3 marking options including 244th Air Group. Marking option included for understated 19th Air Group Hien with dark green upper surfaces and unpainted underside. A comprehensive set of decals features no less than three marking options for the modeler to choose from. The distinctive mottled camouflage and bright tail of 244th Air Group Commander Shunzo Takashima is also on offer.

Modellers can choose from deployed or folded wingtips. Although this is an F-35 like Item 60792, over 60% parts are newly designed for this kit. Why not proceed with creating your own Joint Strike Fighter force in 1/48 and 1/72 scale? Features This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Wingspan: 182mm, fuselage length: 218mm The distinctive fuselage form of the F-35C – which has larger wings and horizontal stabilizers than other F-35 variants for slower aircraft carrier landings – is captured in style Choose one of the two assembly options: extended or folded wingtips There is plenty of detail showcased on the wing hinges Features newly moulded parts to recreate the reinforced nose landing gear with dual tires and rigid main landing gear, and tyres The newly moulded distinctive nose landing gear bay has realistic renderings of details such as ribs and pipes Fine recreations of Radar Absorbent Material (RAM) are moulded into fuselage surfaces Features a realistic rendering of the lower fuselage gun pod (the gun pod is not attached if using RCS enhancers) This kit also features realistic renderings of the following sections: Y- shaped air intake duct for highly advanced stealth characteristics Cockpit and landing gear bays Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat Engine nozzle (1-piece) RCS (radar cross-section) enhancers affixed to top during basic training exercises, but not in live action or more complex exercises Clear parts recreate canopy and Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) fairing under the nose Includes parts to recreate AIM-9X Sidewinder x Masking stickers for the canopy and a realistically recreated seated pilot figure with Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) included Comes with decals to depict 6 marking options (3 from United States Navy and 3 from United States Marine Corps)

As a thoroughbred fighting aeroplane, the basic airframe of the Supermarine Spitfire was capable of accepting successive modifications which saw this incredible aircraft remain in production throughout the entire Second World War. That adaptability allowed the Spitfire to be upgraded to meet the challenge posed by the latest Luftwaffe fighters, one which saw the Spitfire Mk.IX hurriedly introduced during the summer of 1942 to combat the dominance of the fearsome Focke Wulf FW190 ‘Butcher Bird’. This variant of the Spitfire has since been described as potentially the most effective ‘stop-gap’ fighter in the history of military aviation.

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.

As the North American Mustang was developed as a direct result of a British Air Ministry requirement, it is somehow fitting that the RAF and Commonwealth air forces used the aircraft extensively during WWII. The British designation for the later P-51D version was Mustang IV, with the Dallas built P-51K, which used a different Aeroproducts propeller, referred to as the Mustang IVa.

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.

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.

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.
