AIRCRAFT KITS (104)

The Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero was the Japanese Navy's main fighter throughout the Pacific Theater during WWII. In the latter half of the war, the model 52 Zero, a refined version of the model 22, aimed to take on the ever increasing numbers of high-performance U.S. aircraft. It featured a shorter 11m wingspan with rounded wingtips, was powered by the same 1130hp Nakajima "Sakae" engine as seen in the model 22 Zero, and had the new exhaust propulsion system which gave it a 565km/h top speed. The A6M5 came armed with two 7.7mm machine guns and 20mm belt-feed type cannons on each wing. Deployment of the A6M5 began in the autumn of 1943, and they saw action at the Solomon campaign as well as the Marianas. It fearlessly defended Japan against overwhelming numbers and superior U.S. aircraft up until the very last day of the war. Features This is a 1/32 scale plastic assembly kit model of the A6M5 Zero Fighter model 52 Zeke which fought in the latter stages of WWII. Length: 285mm, Width: 344mm. The beautiful body line from the uniquely curved engine cowl to the wings is faithfully reproduced. In addition to the realistically reproduced fuselage, the Nakajima "Sakae" type 21 engine and the cockpit interior are rich in detail. The rudder, flaps, and the lower fuselage parts are all moveable. Choice of either open or closed cowl flaps and canopy. Included metal parts ensure a sharp finish for the 20mm cannons and pitot tube. Machine gun barrels have been pre-painted. Photo-etched parts depicting metal parts such as air intake mesh and seatbelts are included for greater realism. The kit comes with four kinds of decals including one all-new option as well as masking seals for the canopy. Two pilot figures in standing and seated positions are included. A display stand to depict the Zero "In-Flight" is included. Completed model can be stored in the special packaging.  

McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II Marines Originally developed for the U.S. Navy, the F-4J Phantom also eventually equipped U.S. Marine squadrons and were used to provide close air support for ground forces during the Vietnam War. This plastic model kit recreates the complex form of the Phantom's fuselage as a one-piece part and also incorporates screws to ensure a strong assembly. Die-cast main landing gear legs provide added strength while parts such as the canopy, airbrake, and refueling probe may be assembled in either open or closed positions for different display possibilities. To remain true to the actual aircraft, plenty of air-to-ground ordnance is included together with two crew figures and three marking options.

The 1/48 T-2 Buckeye model is back now as is also its larger 1/32 cousin. And both releases share the same colour schemes depicting so called anniversary markings, one scheme is for a US Navy option while the other is more exotic indeed, reminding us that the Buckeyes also flew with the Hellenic Air Force. And both these schemes are quite eye-catching. Unlike the original releases with vacuum formed canopies, the models now sports much more modeller-friendly injected clear parts. The kit also contains resin cast parts and pre-painted etches. Features The only 1/48 T-2 on the market Contains detail resin parts and pre-painted etches Eye-catching schemes Limited quantity Pre-cut masks also available, made to fit the new injected canopy

Not long before the outbreak of WW2, the British Air Ministry issued a requirement calling for two types of fighter aircraft, one light weight with machine gun armament and the other one with heavy cannon armament. To these requirements, the machine gun armed Hurricanes and Spitfires were designed, while to fit the second category, the Westland offered their Whirlwind twin engined ‘Cannon Fighter’. This type was eventually produced in more than a hundred examples and further production was ceased only by the shortage of the Peregrine engines. The Whirlwinds were deployed over the English Channel in fighter and ground attack missions. For the latter ones, the Whirlwinds were fitted with bomb racks and were designated FB Mk.I. This modification proved very successful and it became more than clear that the Whirlwinds suit these types of missions very well indeed.   Our model of the Whirlwind now comes in the Hi-Tech format and contains ten styrene sprues, one with clear parts, a fret of photo etched details, set of 3D-printed parts and also resin parts. These details improve the cockpit area substantially and also make it possible to leave the nose section open to show the four Hispano cannon armament to good advantage. The decal sheet offers markings for four green and grey RAF machines, two of 263 Sqn and the other two of 137 Sqn. One of the schemes has a title under the canopy and another one sports the striking black and white wing undersurfaces, the makrings carried for the Operation Stalker. Features Top Notch Equipped Model Kit Containing Multi-Material Accessory Sets Two Decal Sheets Eye-Catching Colour And Marking Schemes

At the end of the 1960s, the Spanish air force begun to look for a type to replace the then widely used transport aircraft, of which the longest-serving were the Ju-52s built in the 1930s. The military issued requirements calling for a new transport and multi-purpose type and to fit these requirements, the CASA company brought forward their concept of a twin-engined, turbo-prop powered high-wing plane with fixed undercarriage and with STOL capabilities. The project known as the CASA C.212 Aviocar was accepted and a mass production was launched both in Spain and in Indonesia, there under a licence. First batches had all a short forward fuselage and were powered by various types of engines, later type designated C.212-300 sported longer fuselage, wings with winglets, more powerful engines, the TPE331-10R-513C and different propellers. 1998 saw the intoduction of the C.212-400 with TPE331-12JR-701C engines, upgraded avionics and higher payload. It is no overstatement to say that the C.212s fly all over the world and the list of the operators might seem to be almost endless. The C.212 keep flying with the militaries of the USA (C-41), Mexico, Central and South America (Panama, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Argentina), in Europe, they were flown or still are in Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Malta, in Africa they can be found from the very Norht to the southern-most tip, flying for instance with Tchad, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe among others. Down under in Australia the C.212s are used in the training of the local Red Barrets and also with the Australian Antarctic Division of the Department of the Environment which operate them in Antarctica. And in Asia, the type flies with operators in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam or the Philippines, among others. Features The long-body CASA C.212 kit is offered by South African machine No.44 Sqn. SAAF, a Venezuelan machine flown by the Escuadrón Aeronaval de Patrullaje Marítimo and an Argentine machine in the colors of the Prefectura Naval (Coast Guard). Very detailed model Interesting camouflages and users  

"Outnumbered and Fearless" The DB-8 bomber aeroplane was produced by Douglas in the USA, however, the type was first developed and initially produced by Northrop, whose designers had come with a two-seat, ground attack type known as the Gamma 2F and which had been delivered to the USAAF with the military designation A-17. As Douglas bought the Northrop later, the production was moved to its facility instead, and an improved variety of the A-17 with a more powerful engine was developed and produced for many customers worldwide. One of them was also the Dutch air force which showed interest and in 1939 bought the DB-8A/3N version of the type. In 1940, the Dutch machines were put to service, rather paradoxicaly, in the fighter role in which they managet to shot down some of Luftwaffe’s Ju 52 transports, before being shot down themselves by the escorting German fighters. A few of the Dutch airframes were also captured and flown with the Luftwaffe.Features Decal sheet catering for three machines, one of which bears the markings of the Luftwaffe. One of the original Dutch machines can be built in two different markings. Contained in the kit are also photo etched details and resin bomb rack. Limited release Etches and resin parts in the box Breathtaking history of the portrayed machines

Delta 1D/E US Transport plane 1/72 In 1932 Jack K.Northrop, a famous american aircraft designer, followed his earlier and successful cargo and mail types the Alfa and Gamma and designed a new one, named the Delta. It was a all-metal, single engined low-wing monoplane with fixed undercarriage covered in spats. The type was intended to be used on short domestic routes and was built in several versions, differing by their powerplant and also the shape of the pilot’s cockpit canopy. First versions known as the Delta 1A, 1B and 1C featured narrow canopy housing only one pilot. Following versions, the 1D and 1E already had a wider cockpit enabling a crew of two to sit there and they also had a much massive dorsal section of the fuselage. Unfortunatelly, one of the first Delta 1A machines crashed in Mexicowhile being delivered to the customer. This accident was also one of the reasons for the US government to ban the usage of single engined types for regular passenger transport. Aircraft already produced were bought by private subjects or used by companies for business trip purposes. One of the Delta 1Ds, with construction number 74, was used by the US Coast Guard and later it was handed over to the US Corps of Engineers and flown in Ethiopia (Africa) during the Second World War. Delta 1D c/n42 first saw service with Ellsworth’s Antarctica Flight, then was bought by the Australian govenrment and following the outbreak of WW2 it was transferred to the RAAF. Some other Deltas were lucky to see war service even earlier as three of them were acquired by the Spanish government, though two of them fell into the hands of Spanish Nationalist Forces making the Delta the type to fight or be used on both sides of the conflict. In 1936, Canada bought licence rights, partially compensating for Northrop’s business failure with the type. The Canadian machines were produced by Vickers company in versions Mk.I to Mk.III

Airspeed Oxford Mk.I ‘Gunner Trainer’ 1/48The Airspeed Oxford was a British aeroplane developed early in the war and mainly used in training of multi-engine aircraft crews – pilots, navigators and gunners. The Oxfords saw service with the RAF as well as with air forces of other Commonwealth countries (RNZAF, RCAF, RAAF and SAAF). In the post war years, many Oxfords were also delivered to even more other countries. The Mk.I version of the Oxford was produced with the dorsal gun turrent and was mainly used for gunnery training.Features Styrene parts come with resin items and etches Decals offer markings for war time machines operated by the RAF, RNZAF and RCAF and a post war, yellow and blue machine of the RNAF – Royal Norwegian Air Force. Etches and resin cast parts already in the box

The light and cheap J-3 Cub aeroplanes were behind the development of the civil aviation in the USA in the late 1930s. With the end of the world crisis the interest in aviation increased and the J-3 was an ideal type for the basic training and tourist flying. With WW2 coming, the J-3 came into the sights of the military and the USAAF decided to test the type in the artillery spotting and short range recon roles. Needless to say the J-3 succeeded and the production for the military commenced under the designation L-4 Grasshopper. The model kit comes on two grey styrene sprues and one with the clear parts. The decal sheet offers markings for three airframes. The yellow one portrays a pre-war machine and is accompanied by two military machines. The first of these was an ex-civilian airplane wearing olive drab coat over the still partially visible yellow overall. The other military-flown machine is in the standard olive drab and neutral grey colours. Features Attractive colour scheme options Also available for this model – masks, 3D printed engine, resin wheels Truly iconic aeroplane

Ruhrstahl X-4 is a wire-guided air-to-air missile that was designed in Germany during World War II, but its power in actual combat has never been confirmed as it was never used in operations. However, its design became the basis for ground-launched anti-tank missiles by various countries during the post-war Cold War era. The missile stabilized its flight by rotating, and its yaw and pitch could be controlled by a joystick in the cockpit via two wires connected to the tail. SC1000 is a large air-dropped high-performance bomb used by the Luftwaffe during World War II, and its name derives from its weight of approximately 1,000 kg. Because of its shape, the bomb was nicknamed ``Hermann'' after the obese commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe, Hermann Göring. The base paint was sky blue with a yellow line on the tail, but when it was filled with aluminum powder, a yellow silhouette of a sinking ship and a note saying "Nur gegen Handelsschiffe" were stenciled. It was drawn. Features 1/72 scale assembly plastic model. This kit does not include other items included in the background of the package image. For assembly, model-specific tools such as nippers, files, and pin vices (sold separately) and adhesive are required. This product is not painted.
