airfix (387)

Angular and purposeful, you would not expect a rugged and hard-working utility vehicle to attract the admiration of the motoring world, however, that is exactly what the Land Rover series managed to do. Entering production in 1948, the Land Rover was an attempt by the Rover Company to re-enter the motoring market during the austerity of the post-WWII world, producing an affordable agricultural and light industrial vehicle with a multitude of applications. The Land Rover was designed with little in the way of driver comfort in mind but was intended to operate effectively in the most demanding of situations, quickly earning a reputation for practicality and reliability. The pick-up version featured an enclosed cab and open rear compartment, which could be used to transport anything from farm machinery to livestock over all kinds of terrain. If you have a tough motoring job that needs doing, better call on the services of a Land Rover. Includes 4 x Acrylic Paints 1 x Poly-Cement Brush Instruction sheet, paint layout sheet and decals.

The P-51D was arguably the definitive variant of the North American Mustang and included several significant improvements to the aircraft’s already successful design. These included a new bubble canopy for greater pilot visibility, the introduction of an effective new K-14 gunsight, even greater firepower, improvements to the ammunition feed system to reduce jamming and the availability of lightweight external fuel tanks, to further extend the fighter's range. The Mustang made a significant contribution to the eventual Allied victory in Europe, destroying more enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat than any other USAAF fighter in the European Theatre.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 13.7 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 15.8 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 31 Item Scale: 1:72 Scale License line: Produced under licensed.

One of the greatest fighting aeroplanes in the history of aviation, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was always at the forefront of world fighter design and, just like its adversary the Spitfire, was in constant development throughout the Second World War.Major variants of the fighter usually coincided with developments in the Daimler Benz engine which powered the Messerschmitt. Of the five major variants, the F or 'Friedrich' is usually considered the most refined version of the Bf 109.Introduced during the spring of 1941, the Bf 109F was superior to RAF Spitfires in service at that time and was flown by many successful Luftwaffe aces.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 12.6 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 13.8 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 30 Item Scale: 1:72 Scale Contents (what's in the box) sets: Plastic kits, instruction sheets, paint guide, acrylic paint, poly cement, brush and decal sheet.

Forming the backbone of the modern Royal Air Force, the Typhoon has been continually upgraded throughout its service life and is a far more capable aircraft today than the one which first arrived at RAF Coningsby back in 2006. Now a familiar sight in Britain's skies, the Eurofighter Typhoon is the RAF's current airspace defender and, whilst it entered service back in 2006 as a dedicated air superiority fighter, this fourth-generation combat aircraft has proven itself to be much more than this.Now described as the world's most advanced swing-role combat aircraft, the Typhoon has developed into a true multi-role platform and arguably one of the most effective combat aircraft in service today, equally adept at undertaking reconnaissance and precision strike missions as it is challenging the latest Russian aircraft incursion into British airspace.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 22 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 15.3 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 43 Item Scale: 1:72 Scale License line: BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.

The P-40 served the United States Army Air Force throughout the Second World War, fighting in Europe, across Asia and in the deserts of North Africa. While not as maneuverable as the Japanese Mitsubishi Zero, or as fast as the German Messerschmitt Bf109, the P-40B still proved to be a tough opponent. Pilots liked the fact it could often get them home after sustaining heavy damage, as well as being able to inflict it with its armament of six machine guns. If you're after an aircraft that's reliable in both service and looks, then now's the perfect time to bring home the P-40B for your Airfix model range! With an eye-catching livery, sprues and decals as well as measuring 134.5mm in length, this is the perfect addition to any Military or aircraft collection! Includes Sprues Decals

When the Japanese Zero first entered service in 1940, it was without doubt the most advanced naval fighter in the world and quickly earned a reputation as a ruthless dogfighter. In early engagements, the Zero proved so effective that pilots were able to post an almost unbelievable victory ratio of 12 to 1 against their adversaries. As the Wehrmacht began its march across Europe in 1940, little attention was being given to developments in the Far East. Following years of re-arming and upgrading, the Japanese Navy could boast some of the most advanced naval aircraft in the world within its inventory, including the superb Mitsubishi A6M Zero. This long range Naval fighter would be at the forefront of Japans expansionist ambitions throughout WWII and in the early war years, proved to be unequalled in the Pacific region.Possessing exceptional manoeuvrability, the Zero quickly earned a reputation as a dogfighter and Allied pilots quickly learned to avoid a slow, turning fight with this beautifully balanced aircraft. As the fighter aircraft to beat in the Pacific, American pilots soon developed tactics that avoided playing into the hands of the Zero and began to score victories. As newer fighters began to enter service, the A6M Zero began to show its weaknesses, which were a lack of armour protection for the pilot and no self-sealing fuel tanks in the wing. Using their boom and zoom hit and run tactics, the Americans finally began to get the measure of the feared Zero. Includes Sprues Decals

When the diminutive Messerschmitt Bf109 entered service in February 1935, it was one of the most advanced aircraft in the world, clearly heralding the future of fighter design. Produced in greater quantities than any other fighter aircraft, the Bf109 served throughout WWII and was flown by many of the worlds most successful air aces. If it's an aircraft with both an incredible service legacy and livery design, then look no further! The Bf109 comes complete with sprues, decals and measures 120mm in length, making it a great model kit or younger collectors and experienced ones alike. Aircraft scheme: Bf 109E-4 Yellow 13 9./JG54 Hollande.  Includes Sprues Decals.

Considered revolutionary in 1935, by the start of WWII the earliest versions of The Hurricane with fabric covered wings and two bladed propellers had fallen behind the performance of the best German fighters. Nevertheless, once fitted with 3-blade propellers, these early Hurricanes were very successful during the Battle of Britian in 1940. You can now bring home the legacy of the Hurricane Mk.I today for your Airfix collection! Featuring sprues and decals as well as measuring 133mm in length, this must-have aircraft awaits for you to make a fitting part of your airfix or military range. Includes Sprues Decals

First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf Fw190 proved to be an immediate threat to RAF fighters when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire V then in service. This A-8 version was the most numerous and heavily armed variant, which entered service in 1944, as an attempt to stop the Allied daylight raids. However, by then the new Allied fighters had begun to outclass it. With a lasting legacy and impressive service history during it's life, the Focke-Wulf Fw190 is a must-buy if you're after something varied yet eye-catching for your Airfix range. Measuring at 125mm and complete with sprues, decals and a one-of-a-kind livery scheme, who can resist bringing this aircraft home today to complete their collection! Includes Sprues Decals

One of the classic British fighting aeroplanes of the Great War, the Pup was originally called the Sopwith Scout. However, as it was significantly smaller than its predecessor, the Sopwith 1½ Strutter, pilots almost immediately referred to it as the ‘Pup’. Entering combat service towards the end of 1916, the Pup was an excellent dogfighter, possessing incredible manoeuvrability and allowing the Allies to wrestle a period of hard-fought supremacy over the Luftstreitkräfte. Despite the single Vickers .303in machine gun being too light for modern aerial combat, almost 1800 of these diminutive fighters were built. This Vintage Classics Sopwith Pup kit is perfect for beginner modellers, with 26 pieces to put together and a single scheme making for a simple build. If you are returning to modelling and remember this iconic 1:72 scale kit from your childhood, clear a space on your workbench now, because the Pup will bring you a few hours of kit-building joy.
