Academy Sea Harrier FRS.1 - Royal Navy (1:144)

Sea Harrier FRS.1 - Royal Navy British Royal Navy Sea Harrier FRS.1 V/STOL Strike Fighter. The British Aerospace Sea Harrier FRS.1 (Fighter, Reconnaissance, Strike, Mk 1) entered service with the Fleet Air Arm in 1978 as a unique solution to providing fighter cover from light aircraft carriers. Unlike conventional naval aircraft, the Sea Harrier used vectored-thrust nozzles to achieve short take-offs and vertical landings, removing the need for catapults or arrestor wires. The type’s finest hour came during the Falklands War of 1982. Armed with AIM-9L Sidewinders and equipped with Blue Fox radar for target detection, twenty-eight Sea Harriers from 800, 801, and reformed 809 Naval Air Squadrons deployed on HMS Hermes and HMS Invincible, supported by ten Harrier GR.3s from RAF No. 1 (F) Squadron, provided the UK’s only fleet air defence. Despite early doubts about their limited radar and modest speed, the Sea Harriers proved decisive, achieving twenty confirmed air-to-air kills against Argentine fighters and attack aircraft, without loss in aerial combat. They also flew hundreds of sorties on strike and patrol duties, often in harsh weather and at the limits of their endurance. The Sea Harrier’s effectiveness in the South Atlantic silenced critics and earned it a reputation as one of the most effective and adaptable naval fighters of its era. Its performance was a decisive factor in securing British victory, and the FRS.1 remains forever associated with the Falklands campaign. Reissued Minicraft kit. 2 sprues plus clear parts. Choice of 2 markings: (1) Sea Harrier FRS.1 XZ451, 801 NAS, HMS Invincible, Falklands Conflict 1982; (2) Sea Harrier FRS.1 XZ457, 800 NAS, HMS Hermes, Falklands Conflict 1982. 1:144 scale plastic model kit from Academy, requires paint and glue.

Tamiya Honda CB1000F (1:12)

Honda CB1000F (1:12) Description: Tamiya is proud to announce the release of the Honda CB1000F as a new addition to our 1/12 Motorcycle Series. Honda’s CB series of road sport bikes has a long and proud history of innovation; it started with the 1959 Benly CB92 Super Sports and includes machines such as the genre-defining 1969 CB750 FOUR and its inline four engine, the DOHC 4-valve engine CB750F/900F developed for the European market, and the race-focused 1981 CB1100R. Fast forward to March 2025 and Honda announced that its existing flagship CB1300SF would be passing on the torch to the CB1000F Concept. Shortly after, in November of that year it went on sale as the CB1000F. The CB1000F’s “Best Balance Roadster” design concept demanded that it be at home in a variety of scenes from everyday use to touring.  It inherits and updates the iconic “Flowing Line” styling popularised on its CB750F/900F predecessors, the shape flowing smoothly from the tank right back to the rear cowl, via the side covers to give the bike its powerful and speedy silhouette. The round LED headlight catches the eye with its modern yet traditional design encircled by a ring-shaped light and featuring a plated rim and central section inscribed with the HONDA logo. At the rear, the seat’s surface pattern is inspired by the CB750F, and the eye is drawn to design cues like the large taillight and the muffler that dominates the right side of the bike. Some say the CB designation stands for the C in “motor cycle” and the B in “clubman,” but it could be argued that this new iteration has a C for “creative” and a B for “benchmark.” Either way, it promises hours of stress-free riding for all: another icon in a series full of them.   About the Model: This is a 1/12 scale model assembly kit. Length: 178mm, height: 73mm, height: 109mm The form and flowing lines of the Honda CB1000F are captured in style Main components such as engine, front and rear suspension, muffler and stand are attached to the frame by screws The actual bike’s metal-plated sections such as muffler, headlight, front fork inner tubes and side mirror surfaces are depicted by metal-plated parts A clear red part is included to capture the distinctive taillight, and clear parts to recreate the ring around the headlight and its surface part, LCD display, and front windshield Features realistic depictions of the liquid-cooled inline-4 engine and radiator hoses featuring mesh patterns (it is about 25 years since we released a kit depicting an uncowled engine) One-piece part authentically recreates fuel tank and front fender together to limit parting lines Chain is split into right and left halves, and finely recreates roller sections Brake disc parts have minute holes, and outer and inner discs are separate parts for easier painting Includes a metal rear damper spring, and vinyl tubing for pipes such as clutch wiring and brake hose Dedicated front and rear synthetic rubber tyres have realistic depictions of tread patterns, and the seat has authentic renderings of leather patterns Comes with masking stickers to use for metre and fuel tank cap Choose whether to use the headlight cowl, which is optional on both the full-size bike and this model  

Airfix Junkers Ju87R-2/B-2 Stuka (1:48)

Junkers Ju87R-2/B-2 Stuka  This 1:48 scale model beautifully represents the Junkers Ju-87 Stuka, one of the most iconic aircraft from the Second World War. Known for its inverted gull-wing design, this dive-bomber and ground-attack plane model consists of 161 parts and offers two different paint options. With its unique silhouette and Skill Level 3 complexity, this kit replicates the powerful aircraft that could accommodate a two-man crew, carry up to four machine guns, and transport 1800kg of bombs, all driven by a single V-12 Junkers Jumo engine. Once assembled, the model spans an impressive 288mm across the wings. Key Features: 161 piece model kit in 1:48 scale Choice of two authentic paint schemes Skill Level 3 build suitable for ages 8 and above Inverted gull-wing design faithfully reproduced Completed wingspan of 288mm Detailed cockpit for two-man crew Includes decals and full assembly instructions History: The Junkers Ju-87 Stuka took its maiden flight in 1935 and became one of the most recognisable and feared aircraft during the Second World War. The term 'Stuka' is derived from the German word Sturzkampfflugzeug, which translates to dive-bomber, and this aircraft was specifically engineered for precision bombing missions. Unusually large for a dive-bomber, the Stuka was powered by a single V-12 Junkers Jumo engine and weighed over four tonnes. Despite its size, it could carry a substantial 1800kg of bombs and was equipped with up to four machine guns. The aircraft was operated by a two-man team, consisting of a pilot and a rear gunner, seated in a tandem cockpit beneath the distinctive inverted gull-wing structure. The Stuka's unique design included fixed, spatted landing gear and its signature cranked wings. It was equipped with automatic pull-up dive brakes located under the wings, enabling steep dives followed by automatic recovery. Notoriously, it featured the Jericho-Trompete, or 'Jericho Trumpet' - a siren mounted on the undercarriage that emitted a chilling sound during dives, intended to instill fear in those below. The Ju-87 B-2 was the most produced variant, widely used in the early years of the war across various theatres. The R-2 variant was developed for long-range missions, particularly for anti-shipping purposes, with extended range achieved through additional fuel capacity and underwing drop tanks. The Stuka was highly effective during the Blitzkrieg campaigns in Poland and France, where it operated with air superiority. However, during the Battle of Britain, the slow and poorly defended aircraft suffered significant losses against modern fighters. Despite this, it continued to perform effectively on the Eastern Front and in the Mediterranean, where Luftwaffe ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel famously completed over 2,530 combat missions in this aircraft. The Stuka remains one of the most recognisable aircraft silhouettes from the Second World War, with its distinctive look and infamous reputation securing its place in aviation history.

Westland Sea King HC 4 This detailed 1:72 scale replica of the Westland Sea King HC.4 'Commando' includes 133 plastic components, providing an engaging project for intermediate modellers. Tailored for amphibious missions and tactical troop deployment, this variant omits the side floats of earlier Sea King models, making it perfect for land operations while maintaining folding rotors and tail for naval use. Key Features: 1:72 scale model with 133 plastic parts Skill level 2 - suitable for modellers aged 8 and above Two authentic paint schemes included Folding rotors and tail mechanism can be modelled Detailed cockpit and troop compartment interior Option to display radar-warning and infrared jamming devices Decals for Falklands, Gulf and Afghanistan operational service History: The 'Commando' variant of the Sea King was specifically designed for amphibious warfare and tactical troop deployment. Initially suggested as a tactical transport for the Egyptian Air Force, it did not require the amphibious features of previous Sea Kings, leading to the removal of side floats. Featuring folding rotors and tail, the Commando was introduced into the Royal Navy as the Sea King HC.4. It was later equipped with radar-warning and infrared jamming systems and could release M130/M147 flares as countermeasures. In addition to transporting troops, it could carry underslung loads up to 2.5 tonnes. With an extended range and capacity to carry 28 troops, it was perfect for amphibious transport duties. The HC.4 was actively used in conflicts in the Falklands, Balkans, Gulf, Lebanon, and Afghanistan. It frequently undertook missions to evacuate injured personnel and refugees, as well as supporting and preparing for ground operations. It was scheduled for retirement from UK Forces service in March 2016. The Westland Sea King is a product of Leonardo UK Ltd and all rights in it, including its name, are hereby reserved.

Thus, when they joined the competition to create a successor to the renowned de Havilland Mosquito, few anticipated their success. By assembling a youthful and skilled design team, they developed what became one of the most important aircraft in British aviation: a twin jet-powered bomber, crafted for speed with an aerodynamic design. The aircraft's potential was evident from the outset, impressing the Air Ministry enough to order 132 units in advance, confident that this new jet would give the Royal Air Force a technological upper hand. When the first B.2 model was deployed with No.101 Squadron in early 1951, it was unmatched by most fighters of the time, establishing the RAF's reputation with an exceptional aircraft admired globally.

During the Denmark Strait battle, she inflicted damage on both HMS Hood (later sunk by Bismarck) and HMS Prince of Wales, before making her way to Brest in occupied France. The heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was named after Prince Eugene of Savoy, an 18th-century Austrian general. As part of the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers, she was a formidable ship equipped with eight 20.3cm guns in four twin turrets, twelve 10.5cm anti-aircraft guns, and twelve 53.3cm torpedo tubes. Commissioned in August 1940, Prinz Eugen became one of the Kriegsmarine's most effective surface raiders. Her most notable action occurred in May 1941 when she joined Bismarck on Operation Rheinübung, aimed at disrupting Allied convoy routes in the Atlantic. During the subsequent encounter in the Denmark Strait, Prinz Eugen's precise gunnery played a role in the devastating attack on HMS Hood, while her shells also hit HMS Prince of Wales. After the battle, she managed to evade British forces and reached the safety of Brest, while Bismarck continued alone to her tragic end. Following repairs and further missions in the Atlantic and Baltic, Prinz Eugen survived the war, surrendered to the Allies in Copenhagen in May 1945, and was later given to the United States Navy as a war prize. She was used in the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in July 1946, surviving both explosions before eventually capsizing in December 1946, where her wreck remains today.

Primarily used as light bombers, approximately 200 Blenheims were converted into long-range fighter/night-fighters, fitted with ventral packs on their undersides, each containing four forward-firing 0.303 machine guns. The production of these custom components, along with their mounting frames, was outsourced to Southern Railway's workshops at their Ashford location in Kent, highlighting the cooperative industrial effort that defined Britain's wartime aircraft production. These modified Blenheim Mk.IF fighters performed admirably in the early war years, filling the gap until specialised night-fighters were available. The Bristol Blenheim marked a significant leap in RAF capabilities upon its introduction in 1937, being faster than the biplane fighters of the time. Although quickly surpassed by rapid wartime advancements in aircraft design, the Blenheim's adaptability ensured its continued frontline service during the early war years, operating in nearly every theatre from Britain to North Africa and the Far East.

It became a major threat to the Imperial Japanese Navy and enabled the US Navy to retaliate after the Pearl Harbour attack. Responsible for sinking more Japanese vessels than any other aircraft during World War II, the Dauntless also downed numerous Japanese aircraft in aerial battles throughout the Pacific conflict. The SBD stood for Scout Bomber Douglas, designed as a carrier-based dive bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. Its most notable achievement came during the Battle of Midway in June 1942, when SBD dive bombers from the USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, and USS Hornet managed to sink four Japanese aircraft carriers-Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu-in a single day, significantly altering the course of the Pacific War. Introduced in 1941, the SBD-3 variant offered enhanced armour for the crew and self-sealing fuel tanks, increasing its combat survivability. The SBD-5, debuting in 1943, was equipped with a more powerful 1,200 horsepower Wright R-1820-60 engine, enhancing its altitude performance. Both variants served with distinction throughout the Pacific campaign, operating from both aircraft carriers and island bases. Despite its slower speed and older design compared to newer aircraft, the Dauntless was highly effective due to its precise dive bombing, sturdy build, and reliability. It remained in frontline service until 1944, when it was gradually replaced by the faster Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, although many pilots favoured the Dauntless for its handling and dependability.

One of the RAF's advanced Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 jets was unveiled with a striking new paint job, inspired by a renowned Fighter Command aircraft from 1940. This sophisticated multi-role jet was adorned with a paint scheme reminiscent of the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I piloted by Flight Lieutenant James Brindley Nicolson on 16th August 1940, the day his valiant actions in battle earned him a Victoria Cross - the sole VC awarded to a Fighter Command pilot throughout the war. Nicolson's Hurricane from RAF No.249 Squadron caught fire after an attack by a Messerschmitt Bf 109, yet he remained in the cockpit to pursue an attack on a Bf 110 'Destroyer' that crossed his path, even as flames surrounded him. Nicolson eventually parachuted to safety and returned to flying after a period of recovery. Displaying the typically grey Eurofighter Typhoon in Battle of Britain era camouflage was a brilliant move by the RAF, and during the summer display season, it became the most admired aircraft in the Royal Air Force fleet. Enthusiasts affectionately named it 'GINA', after the fuselage code letters, and it remains one of the most visually appealing Typhoon jets in RAF history. Now you can construct 'GINA' and the aircraft that inspired its design in 1:72 scale, offering endless modelling enjoyment. BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.

Bader joined the Royal Air Force in 1928, known for his athletic prowess and thrill-seeking nature, although he found the academic demands at Cranwell challenging. Commissioned in July 1930, he was assigned to No.23 Squadron at Kenley, flying the Gloster Gladiator and later the Bristol Bulldog, one of the era's most advanced fighter planes. Although Bader's wartime achievements and aerial victories are associated with both the Spitfire and Hurricane, it was the Bulldog biplane that truly defined his early career. During an unplanned visit to the Reading Aero Club on 14th December 1931, despite being expressly forbidden from performing low altitude aerobatics in the Bulldog, Bader disregarded these orders after being provoked by fellow aviators. Executing a series of impressive manoeuvres, his aircraft, flying just above the ground, clipped the earth with its wingtip during a slow roll, causing it to cartwheel across the field, resulting in severe injuries to Bader, much to the onlookers' horror. Despite losing both legs, Bader was resolute in his desire to return to the Royal Air Force, and with the onset of the Second World War, he was given the opportunity. He flew both the Spitfire and Hurricane in combat, achieving 22 aerial victories before being forced to eject from his Spitfire over France, becoming a prisoner of war on 9th August 1941. Douglas Bader's tale of bravery and perseverance inspired Britain during its darkest times, and when the victory flypast occurred over London at the war's end, it was Bader who led the formation in a Spitfire.

Introduced into RAF service in 1951, most Shackletons were equipped with the powerful Rolls Royce Griffon engine, marking the end of the era for four-engined propeller-driven bomber/strike aircraft in the Royal Air Force. The decommissioning of HMS Ark Royal raised concerns within the Royal Navy about losing crucial airborne early warning capabilities. However, a plan to install radar systems from the Ark Royal’s former AEW Fairey Gannets onto RAF Avro Shackletons alleviated these concerns. Twelve Shackleton airframes were modified to the AEW Mk.2 standard and flew with No.8 Squadron at RAF Lossiemouth, remaining in service until the squadron was disbanded in 1991.

Airfix English Electric Lightning F.6 (1:48)

English Electric Lightning F.6 When it comes to significant British aircraft of the post Second World War era, few have had anything like the impact of the English Electric Lightning. It was a supersonic sensation which was originally introduced to protect Britain’s V-Bomber airfields against Soviet bomber attack. The ultimate incarnation of this flying hot-rod was the Lightning F.6, an aircraft which took all the performance of its predecessors, and presented it with even more speed, greater range, and better handling.  This magnificent aircraft posted a stellar 28-year career with the Royal Air Force, through some of the most volatile times in world history. The F.6 variant saw the return of guns to the Lightning, following their omission on the F.3 which preceded it, armament which complemented a pair of Red Top air-to-air missiles and was welcomed by serving RAF pilots.  Although incredible speed was always something associated with the Lightning, pilots were always of the opinion that the aircraft was more than just a point defender, and was easily capable of dogfighting, as long as its cannon armament was retained.  Our English Electric Lightning model kit is almost as impressive as the real thing in 1:48 scale. - Skill Level 3 - 3 Scheme Options - 153 Parts - Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 1:48 Scale

HMS Scylla was one of eleven Royal Navy Dido-class light cruisers, launched in 1940 and commissioned in 1942 during the height of the Second World War. Designed for fleet air defence and convoy protection, Dido-class cruisers were armed primarily with 5.25-inch dual-purpose guns, although Scylla was one of two equipped with 4.5-inch Mk III turrets. Scylla saw significant wartime service. Early in her career, Scylla was assigned to Arctic convoy duties, delivering vital supplies to the Soviet Union. Scylla also served in the Mediterranean and was involved in escorting the Malta convoys. During the D Day landings in June 1944, Scylla provided naval gunfire support for the Allied invasion of Normandy, but two weeks after D Day Scylla struck a mine off the French coast and suffered extensive damage. Though towed back to the UK, repair was deemed uneconomical. Scylla was decommissioned and later scrapped in 1950.

Over 30 years, five of these Space Shuttles successfully achieved earth orbit, with ‘Discovery’ becoming their most active craft.  This incredible spacecraft completed 39 flight missions and spent 365 days in space.

Tamiya M36 US Tank Destroyer (1:35)

M36 US Tank Destroyer  As U.S. forces encountered the rapidly evolving armor of their German opponents, it became clear the the M10 tank destroyer and its 76.2mm gun were insufficient and in need of replacement. Their solution was to install the more powerful 90mm gun onto the M10A1 chassis in an open top turret: the M36, which first appeared in June 1944. Its first live action was in fighting on the French-German border that October, but if faced more concerted fighting as the German forces launched a desperate counter-attack in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. Over a thousand M36 vehicles had been manufactured by the time of the German surrender in May 1945, and after the end of hostilities many were given to allies such as France, which used it in the First Indochina War. It is even said to have been used in the Japanese development of their first domestic post-war tank: the Type 61. About the Model ★This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 216mm, width: 88mm.  ★Tamiya designers based this product's design on extensive studies of the full-size M36.  ★The turret interior has realistic depictions of details such as the 90mm gun breech and sights, shell racks, crew seating and more.  ★A slide molded recreation of the bulging turret rear counterweight accurately captures the curved design and gives a fuss-free assembly process.  ★Bulkheads and sponson-top shell racks show great detail.  ★Assembly type tracks have one-piece straight sections.  ★Comes with a figure posed with a shouldered "grease gun."  ★Includes a painting guide and two marking options. - 1:35 Scale

Airfix Ferret Scout Car Mk.1 (1:35)

Ferret Scout Car Mk.1 Although armoured, the Ferret Scout Car was never intended to face enemy heavy armour, relying on its low profile, speed and stealth to make contact with enemy units, some of which were engaged in similar reconnaissance roles. Creeping into contested territory, the Ferret was built for sniffing out the enemy, but not to cause trouble in an offensive sense.  Their role was to send real-time radio reports back to HQ and, should their scouting take them out of radio range, to utilise a second HQ Ferret to relay messages back. They provided military planners with information and, if detected, the Ferret would extricate the crew away from any combat situation at speed.  As long as they were only targeted by small arms fire, they would have adequate protection until their driver could get them out of harm’s way, speeding back towards more friendly territory. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 194 Pieces - 3 Scheme Options - Skill Level 2 - 1:35 Scale

Airfix Vintage Classics: Vosper M.T.B (1:72)

Vosper M.T.B Despite having one of the strongest navies in the world, the Royal Navy knew they needed a fleet of high-speed fighting ships to challenge enemy warships and to take a heavy toll of enemy merchant vessels. Mainly relying on stealth, speed and manoeuvrability, the Vosper company had been designing such craft since the early 1930s, with the Vosper 73ft Motor Torpedo Boat being a later development of those earlier vessels. Powered by three Packard engines, the Vosper was capable of speeds over 40 knots and in this variant, featured four 18-inch deck-mounted torpedo tubes, an Oerlikon 20mm cannon and up to four Vickers machine guns. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 189 Pieces - 1 Scheme Options - Skill Level 3 - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Land Rover 1 Tonne FC Truck GS Body (1:76)

Land Rover 1 Tonne FC Truck GS Body Built around the legendary attributes of the rugged Land Rover series, the 1 Tonne Forward Control vehicle was designed to meet a British Army requirement for an effective light gun tractor, one which was also capable of transporting 1 tonne of ammunition and other equipment in its load compartment.  These vehicles were also required to be carried by air transport, and repositioning the Rover V8 engine to a position behind the cab removed the bonnet and gave these vehicles their distinctive flat front profile. These small, yet powerful 4x4 vehicles continued the legacy of the highly successful Land Rover in military service. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 29 Pieces - 5 Scheme Options - Skill Level 1 - 1:76 Scale

Airfix Vintage Classics: RAF Rescue Launch (1:72)

RAF Rescue Launch During the Second World War, the danger of losing large numbers of aircrew forced to ditch in the seas around the British Isles was very real, resulting in the creation of the Royal Air Force Sea Rescue Service, operating under the motto ‘The sea shall not have them’. Using vessels designed by the British Powerboat Company and utilising racing boat technology, this service was all about speed, with the Type Two 63ft HSL ‘Whaleback’ being arguably their most distinctive craft. Powered by three 24ltr Napier Sea Lion engines, these boats must have sounded magnificent and it’s no wonder they were known as the ‘Spitfires of the sea’. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 155 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 3 - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Vintage Classics: German E-Boat (1:72)

German E-Boat Restricted by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the German Kriegsmarine exploited a loophole by designing a fleet of fast, wooden-hulled attack craft they referred to as Schnellboots. Expertly designed, these vessels were perfected over time and by the outbreak of the Second World War, they had become a devastatingly effective part of Germany’s naval strength. Powered by three diesel engines and featuring a triple rudder arrangement, Germany’s E Boats were some of the fastest warships in the world. With their low profile, high manoeuvrability and torpedo armament, if they penetrated any Allied convoy, they could destroy several vessels and make their escape before coming under return fire. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 290 Pieces - 1 Scheme Options - Skill Level 3 - 1:72 Scale

Airfix British 105mm Light Field Gun (1:76)

British 105mm Light Field Gun A light, yet robust modern field gun, this impressive weapon was flexible enough for troops fighting in the most inhospitable of terrain and could be towed by Army Land Rovers, or carried as an underslung load beneath the larger British helicopter types.  In service with the British Army from 1976, this new weapon was designed to possess greater range and lethality than its predecessor, whilst retaining the portability of that unit, however, this did make it a heavy gun.  Produced in large numbers, these guns were exported widely and served with distinction during the Falklands War. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 52 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 1 - 1:76 Scale

Airfix British Army 4-ton 4 x 4 G.S Truck (1:76)

British Army 4-ton 4 x 4 G.S Truck Modern warfare requires the support of a robust supply infrastructure and a fleet of effective vehicles to keep troops on the move and well-supplied. For almost 40 years and throughout the Cold War era, the British Army relied on the 4-ton 4x4 General Service Truck to fulfil this role. The undisputed load-lugging champion of the Army and a true workhorse of Britain’s armed forces, these incredibly rugged and reliable vehicles initially used multifuel engines but these were later replaced with more economical diesel units. With more than 50,000 produced, they were adapted to perform a multitude of different roles. Always in the background, these vehicles were unquestionably the backbone of the British Army. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 25 Pieces - 3 Scheme Options - Skill Level 1 - 1:76 Scale

Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXe (1:48)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXe 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. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 124 Pieces - 3 Scheme Options - Skill Level 2 - 234mm Wingspan - 1:48 Scale

Airfix Supermarine Spitfire PR.XIX (1:48)

Supermarine Spitfire PR.XIX The PR.XIX was the final photo reconnaissance version of the Spitfire to see active RAF service. Produced by mating features of the Mk.XI Spitfire to the powerful Griffon engine of the XIV, the PR.XIX was one of the fastest and, some say, best-looking of all Spitfire variants.  Due to its role as a reconnaissance machine, it featured no armament, relying upon its high top speed to evade potential enemies. After the war, the PR.CIC served in the Far East, operating over Hainan Island and performing the RAF’s last ever operational sortie by a Spitfire over Malaya on 10th June 1957. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 98 Pieces - 3 Scheme Options - Skill Level 2 - 235mm Wingspan - 1:48 Scale

Airfix Westland Lynx AH-7 (1:48)

Westland Lynx AH-7 A groundbreaking helicopter design, the Westland Lynx was developed as the potential replacement for several rotary types in British service during the 1970s, and produced in collaboration with French manufacturer Sud Aviation. From the prototype's maiden flight, it was clear this was a very special aircraft. It set many helicopter speed records and became famous for its incredible agility. With variants produced for the British Army and the Royal Navy, the Lynx was used in many roles and remained in service for 40 years. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 233 Pieces - 3 Scheme Options - Skill Level 4 - 265mm Rotorspan - 1:48 Scale

Airfix Folland Gnat T.1 (1:48)

Folland Gnat T.1 The Folland Gnat was a small, swept-wing British subsonic jet trainer and light fighter developed by Folland for the RAF, and flown extensively by the Indian Air Force. Its design allowed construction without specialised tools by countries that were not highly industrialised. Although never used as a fighter by the RAF, the Gnat T.1 trainer was widely used. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 96 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 2 - 153mm Wingspan - 1:48 Scale

Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I (1:48)

Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I Quickly outclassed as a day fighter during the Battle of Britain, the Boulton Paul Defiant was tasked with protecting Britain from night bombing raids by the Luftwaffe. Not trained to fight at night, Defiant crews had to develop interception techniques as they fought but found the aircraft much more suited to this nocturnal fighting environment. After enjoying initial success against Luftwaffe pilots unfamiliar with Britain's turret fighter, Defiant crews soon discovered the limitations of their aircraft. The significant weight of the gun turret, combined with a relatively poor arc of defensive fire, meant that German Messerschmitts soon learned how to attack these unusual aircraft. As combat losses began to mount, RAF Defiants were relegated to night fighting duties, where the aircraft was much less vulnerable and could make better use of its offensive firepower. As the night Blitz against London raged, Defiant crews had to develop their own interception techniques, as many were not trained in this type of fighting. They soon began to score victories against the Luftwaffe raiders, helping to establish a cohesive night defence system and rebuilding the reputation of the Defiant. These all-black nocturnal hunters became some of the most distinctive RAF aircraft of the Second World War.  - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 133 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 2 - 250mm Wingspan - 1:48 Scale

Airfix Vintage Classics: Westland Puma HC.1 (1:72)

Westland Puma HC.1 Satisfying a Royal Air Force requirement for an effective medium support helicopter, when the Westland Puma HC.1 entered service with No.33 Squadron in 1971, it was the first Anglo-French aircraft collaboration of its kind.  Possessing exceptional speed and agility, the Puma was capable of carrying 16 passengers, 12 fully equipped troops, or two tonnes of cargo, either carried internally, as an underslung load, or via a combination of the two.  An incredibly versatile and reliable helicopter, the latest variant of this magnificent aircraft remains in service with the RAF, some 53 years since those first machines arrived at RAF Odiham. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 112 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 3 - 200mm Rotorspan - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Westland Wessex HC.2 (1:72)

Westland Wessex HC.2 The Westland Wessex HC.2 was a licence-built turbine-powered development of the classic American Sikorski S-58 ‘Choctaw’ helicopter, one of the world’s first truly capable helicopters which established these aircraft as essential for a host of military and civilian applications. The continuation of an existing arrangement between Sikorsky and Westland, the Wessex was initially developed for the Royal Navy in the anti-submarine and utility roles but was further developed as the HC.2 for the Royal Air Force, entering service in 1962, a year later than the Navy machines.  In RAF service, these powerful helicopters performed several roles, including troop and supply transportation, ground support and air evacuation duties. However, it was their use as Air Sea Rescue helicopters which made these some of the highest-profile aircraft in service at that time. The Wessex represented the pinnacle of rotary technology when introduced and could operate from, and into places that other aircraft couldn’t. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 134 Pieces - 3 Scheme Options - Skill Level 1 - 238mm Rotorspan - 1:72 Scale

Thirty-two Squadrons of Hurricanes saw action during the Battle of Britain. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 51 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 1 - 171mm Wingspan - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8/F-8 (1:72)

Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8/F-8 First flying in 1939, the Focke-Wulf FW190 was an immediate threat to RAF fighters when introduced in late 1941, being faster and more manoeuvrable than the Spitfire V then in service.  The F-8 was the ground-attack version and differed primarily in its lack of outboard cannons. Various combinations of underwing weapons were fitted, but the most common was one centreline bomb and four small bombs on the wings.  The A-8 version was the most numerous, heavily armed variant and entered service in 1944 in an attempt to stop Allied daylight raids. By then, however, the new Allied fighters had begun to outclass it. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 74 Pieces - 2 Scheme Options - Skill Level 1 - 145mm Wingspan - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Fokker E.II Eindecker (1:72)

Fokker E.II Eindecker Significant in the history of aerial warfare, the Fokker Eindecker was the first purpose-built First World War German fighter aircraft and the first to be fitted with gun synchronisation gear. This gear allowed the pilot to shoot through the arc of the propeller and in his line of sight. Once introduced, it took a withering toll on Allied aircraft. - Plastic Kit Requires Glue & Paint to Complete - 35 Pieces - 1 Scheme Options - Skill Level 2 - 140mm Wingspan - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Handley Page Victor K.2/SR.2 (1:72)

Handley Page Victor K.2/SR.2 The Handley Page (HP) Victor was a jet-powered, strategic bomber which, alongside the other ‘V’ bombers, the Avro Vulcan and Vickers Valliant, formed an essential part of Britain’s nuclear deterrent during the early part of the Cold War. The Victor was designed to carry out long-range, low-altitude attacks, but was later relegated to an aerial refuelling role when it was no longer deemed effective as a strategic bomber.  Subject to RAF’s requirements for greater tactical manoeuvrability and a higher ceiling, the B.2 variant with more powerful Rolls Royce Conway engines was developed in 1959. Thirty-four were produced and several were later converted for reconnaissance and aerial refuelling purposes. Two RAF squadrons formed on the B.2 after it entered service in 1962, but it was soon succeeded by the B.2R, a conversion which allowed them to carry ‘Blue Steel’ nuclear missiles in addition to free-fall nuclear payloads. Following the introduction of submarine-launched Polaris missiles in 1969, the Victor was gradually relieved of its role as a nuclear deterrent.

Commissioned into the Royal Navy on 5 August 1939, the ship played key roles in major conflicts and peacekeeping over 24 years of service. Shortly after joining the fleet, HMS Belfast struck a German magnetic mine in November 1939, which caused significant damage, keeping it out of service for three years. Rejoining the fleet in 1942 as the Royal Navy's largest cruiser, HMS Belfast helped protect Arctic convoys to Russia and participated in the sinking of the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst in 1943. In 1944, as flagship of Bombardment Force E, she supported the D-Day landings. After World War II, HMS Belfast saw action in the Korean War from 1950 to 1952 before being decommissioned in 1963, ending her active career. Saved from scrapping by a preservation campaign led by Rear-Admiral Sir Morgan Morgan-Giles, HMS Belfast was turned into a museum ship and opened to the public on 21 October 1971. Moored on the River Thames, she remains a part of the Imperial War Museum, as the last surviving vessel of its type.

Initially developed as a private venture by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, the Bulldog was the brainchild of accomplished aircraft designer Frank Barnwell, the man behind the successful Bristol F2B Fighter of the Great War, and was a light, all-metal and fabric-covered fighter, powered by a 440hp Bristol Jupiter engine. The Bulldog was armed with a pair of forward-firing Vickers 0.303" machine guns mounted on 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.  What the Bulldog did do was help advance Britain's aviation industry towards the production of the sleek, monoplane fighters which would contest the Second World War, as it highlighted the fact that biplane designs were fast approaching their zenith. Perhaps the most famous incident involving a Bristol Bulldog proved to be a rather unfortunate one, when an accomplished, but rather headstrong RAF pilot performed unauthorised low-altitude aerobatics for a group of onlookers and a private civilian aerodrome in Berkshire.  Flying so low that the wingtip of his fighter struck the ground during a manoeuvre, the Bulldog cartwheeled across the airfield, inflicting catastrophic injuries on the pilot - that pilot was future Second World War RAF ace and inspirational national hero Douglas Bader.

Featuring true twin-engine redundancy, the Belvedere could operate safely on just a single engine if required. Surprisingly, only 26 of these helicopters were produced.

Airfix QuickBuild QUICKBUILD Sherman Firefly Tank (1:35)

QUICKBUILD Sherman Firefly Tank - 1:35 scale Includes: - Stickers/transfers - Easy clip together construction with durability and designed for strong play value - NO Glue, NO Paint required - 1:35 Scale Product information: What is QUICKBUILD? Airfix QUICKBUILD is an exciting range of brick-based models suitable as an introduction to modelling for any age of 6 and up. The pre-coloured pieces simply push together to build an impressive model which can then be decorated with the included self-adhesive stickers.  No paint or glue is needed to make these fantastic models look like the real thing and once completed, there’s no evidence of any of the brick fittings showing. When built they are tough enough to be used as toys, or smart enough to use as display models.  Either will show off those great modelling skills! Included with each model is a full set of easy-to-follow colour instructions, free-rolling wheels for cars and tanks, and display stands for all the aircraft.  The Sherman Firefly is an excellent choice for someone who wants functionality within a kit. Designed to 1:35 scale, the turret is fully poseable, including moving wheels and tracks, which are also individually linked.  As Allied forces began to move off the D-Day beaches and into the Normandy countryside, they knew they would be facing strong opposition from German Panzer units, including the feared Heavy Tank Battalions.  Fortunately, they now had a tank which was capable of taking on the Tigers and Panthers, in the form of the Sherman Firefly, a British-designed marriage of the M4 Sherman and their famous 17-pounder anti-tank gun.  Usually deployed in a ratio of one Firefly to four standard Shermans, German tank commanders soon learned to look for the longer barrel of the Firefly and attempt to knock these tanks out first. To make identification more difficult, British crews camouflaged the front of their guns with light-coloured paint, giving their tank the appearance of a standard 75mm-equipped Sherman, hoping this deception would give them enough time to get in the first shot during any engagement.

Airfix QuickBuild QUICKBUILD Tiger I Tank (1:35)

Airfix QUICKBUILD is an exciting range of brick-based models suitable as an introduction to modelling for any age of 6 and up.

Included with each model is a full set of easy-to-follow colour instructions, free-rolling wheels for cars and tanks and display stands for all the aircraft.  The Tiger I is an excellent choice for someone who wants functionality within a kit. Designed to 1:35 scale, the turret is fully poseable, including moving wheels and tracks, which are also individually linked. Even though the German Panzerkamfwagen VI Tiger heavy tank saw its combat introduction back in September 1942, it is still regarded as the world's most famous tank design to this day.  Possessing a fearsome combination of firepower, armoured protection and mobility, the 88mm gun mounted on the Tiger and its excellent sighting optics allowed it to engage enemy armour at extreme ranges and certainly well outside the range at which they could return fire.  Indeed, during the first Tiger engagements on the Eastern Front, the most likely way that a Tiger would be destroyed was by the hands of its own crew, as they were desperate to avoid the possibility of one of these magnificent machines falling into the hands of the enemy. From the date of its introduction, the Tiger was the tank against which all other tanks would be judged and large numbers of Allied tanks and military vehicles fell to its gun.

Unimpressed at the prospect, Consolidated proposed that they could design and produce their own bomber in the same time it would take them to establish production lines, and it would be better than a Flying Fortress.  When their XB-24 prototype took to the air on 29th December 1939, it was a very different-looking aeroplane to the B-17 Flying Fortress, with its shoulder-mounted thin wings, deep, yet narrow fuselage and twin-boom tail, it had a maritime aircraft appearance about it. Following its eventual USAAF introduction in 1941, the B-24 Liberator was produced in vast quantities, serving in every theatre during the Second World War, and making a vital contribution to the Allied War effort.  The introduction of the 'H' model addressed the aircraft's vulnerability to frontal attack, something enemy fighter pilots had been exploiting since the B-24's introduction. This variant was the first to be manufactured with an electrically operated Emerson A-15 nose turret but also had around 50 other modifications to make the Liberator a more combat-effective aircraft.  This was also the first variant to truly take advantage of America's capacity for mass production and it was claimed that Ford could produce Liberators faster than the USAAF could process them into service. The Consolidated B-24 Liberator became the most heavily produced four-engined bomber in the history of warfare and America's most produced aircraft of the Second World War. Quite simply, the B-24 was flown by more men, carried more bombs over greater distances and destroyed more targets than any other bomber in the history of aviation.

Thunder Models LRDG F30 Patrol Truck (Standard Edition) (1:35)

LRDG F30 Patrol Truck (Standard Edition) Includes: - Highly detailed plastic kit - Body, underframe detail - Fine interior parts - Requires glue and paints to complete NOT included - 235 parts - 1:35 Scale  Vehicle information: “Only men who do not mind a hard life, with scanty food, little water and lots of discomfort, men who possess stamina and initiative, need apply” The Long Range Desert Group was the first and ‘arguably the most dashing and successful irregular formation on either side in the entire war’.  Their role was deep penetration reconnaissance, road-watching (observing Axis forces movements along the coastal roads to establish logistics and military unit movements to and from the front line hundreds of miles away), and raiding (they attacked airfields long before the British Special Air Service thought of it). They also transported allied agents and the SAS on their initial raids behind enemy lines, recovered downed aircrew and lost soldiers, and were the first to accurately map the North African desert. They were often referred to as the ‘Libyan Taxi service’ by those who benefitted from their skills, and were highly respected for their ability to get to any point in the desert at a given time. The LRDG were masters of the Libyan Desert during the War in North Africa. Experts in desert navigation, driving, signals and survival. Their operational requirements were unique in the British Army and initially they chose the civilian 2 wheel drive Chevrolet WA trucks, robust and simple, and with the right driving techniques and equipment capable of passing over the majority of desert terrain encountered. After a year of operations these trucks desperately needed replacing, but there were no more Chevrolets, the best option in North Africa being the CMP Ford F30 with the No11 cab. Like the Chevrolet truck before and after their operational period, the Ford F30’s were modified specifically for LRDG desert operations. The cab was removed for a lower profile, the bonnet panels were usually discarded to allow greater cooling for the engine and transmission, Power take off air compressor fitted to the transmission, a condenser tank added that condensed steam from the radiator to save water, racks for sand mats and channels to help extricate the trucks from soft sand, Vickers MKI (no water can and hose connected, and water jacket filled with oil) and Lewis guns, as well as Boys Anti-Tank Rifle mounts for self-protection and raids, and sand tyres. Another feature is that these early Ford trucks were fitted with Chevrolet ‘Banjo’ type axles due to Ford having initial production issues with their axles. The different makes of axles were designed to be interchangeable on these trucks. There were 3 main variants, the standard Patrol truck, the 37mm Bofors anti-tank gun truck with a special gun mount in the rear body, and the wireless/navigator truck fitted a Bagnold Sun Compass, with a civilian Philips 635 radio receiver for the time signal required for accurate navigation by the stars, and the standard No 11 Wireless set for sending intelligence back to base. When used with the Windom dipole aerial mounted on 16 ‘ /4.6m poles they could often ‘skip’ a signal over a 1,000 miles directly back to Cairo. The Ford F30’s had the advantage of 4 wheel drive, a more powerful 95HP V8 engine, and a bigger load area compared to the Chevrolet trucks. However they were harder to camouflage due to their height, louder with the 4x4 transmission and V8 engine, heavier, had a shorter range due to their poorer MPG (Miles per Gallon) and were less reliable. Some of the trucks had their bodies moved back 12”/300mm on the chassis for better centralisation of the load over the rear axle. These can be identified by 2 spare wheels fitted between the body and the cab.

The later E model was more powerful and better armed and by the summer of 1940, over 500 were in service for the offensive against Great Britain. By this time, the only 109E had already proved to be a competent, if not the world's best fighter aircraft in the skies above Poland, France and the low countries. However, over England it met its match and was shown to be inferior to the RAF's Spitfire.

The silhouette of the compact triplane became a symbol of the German fighter aviation of the First World War, although the aircraft was dogged by technical issue and its operational use was relatively short lived. Designed by Anthony Fokker, the Dr.I was created in response for the German air force requiring a better aircraft to battle the new British Sopwith triplane fighter introduced in April 1917. Fokker with his experience gained from (hugo) Junkers and cantilever wings, he was able to design a wing with reduced drag and eliminating fine wire bracing. A total of 320 Fokker Dr.I planes were built by the end of May 1918 when production final ceased. The Fokker Dr.I was a capable aircraft only finally getting superseded by the Fokker D.VII as aviation design and development improved with more powerful and modern enemy aircraft coming into action. The Fokker Dr.I still saw flight on the frontlines used as backup alongside the modern D.VII. Some of the Triplanes returned to Germany to become trainer aircraft. The most famous pilot of the Dr.I is Manfred Von Richthofen Fokker Dr.I, achieving 17 kills. More information can be found inside the included history booklet/ manual.

The famous WWII US Air Force heavy bomber that inspired two great movies: wartime documentary "Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress" and the late 20th Century movie "Memphis Belle".

Kotare Spitfire Mk.I (Early) (1:32)

Spitfire Mk.I (Early) (1:32) There is something intriguing about the earliest Spitfires, maybe because they carry that sense of a design still finding its shape. Kotare’s early Mk I taps into that perfectly. The new tooled parts feel crisp and deliberate, like the engineers wanted to underline just how different these machines were from the later, more familiar variants. You notice it in the smaller things, the subtleties of the airframe, the form of the cockpit fittings, the look of the original equipment that rarely makes it into a mainstream kit.   The kit arrives with 155 parts, and it has that clean Kotare feel where everything fits in a way that encourages you to slow down rather than push on. The instruction book is clear and surprisingly enjoyable to leaf through, almost like someone actually cared about the pacing. Three Cartograf-marked options walk you from the quiet pre-war period into the early war months, including machines flown by Cozens, Feary, Mamedoff, Goodwin, and the remarkable Grumpy Unwin, whose story sits almost literally on your doorstep. It gives the build a sense of connection that is hard to manufacture any other way. 155 injection-moulded parts, including 35 newly tooled components Accurate early-production Mk I features unique to this release 35 cm wingspan with refined surface and rivet detailing Fully illustrated 28-page instruction manual High-quality Cartograf decals for three historically significant schemes Includes optional early-equipment configurations and structural details Suitable for pre-war through Battle of Britain display options The earliest Mk I Spitfires belong to that brief moment when the RAF still felt like it had a little more time than it actually did. Aircraft like K9795 and K9798 were stepping stones towards the wartime Spitfire, flown by pilots who were learning the machine almost as quickly as it was changing beneath them. K9798 carries the story of GC “Grumpy” Unwin, born just behind your warehouse, who entered the RAF as a regular and ended up with more Spitfire hours than anyone else by 1939. These were the pilots doing test flights, deliveries, and long hours in the cockpit, shaping the understanding of what the aircraft could really do. By the time you reach machines like L1065 in 1940, the tension has shifted. Volunteer pilots like AB Mamedoff add to the narrative, and the Spitfire itself is already evolving in response to the pressures of the war. Paint varied, fittings changed, and no two airframes looked exactly alike. This kit captures that transitional period with a kind of quiet respect for the details, letting you build not just an aircraft but a snapshot of a world on the cusp of something much heavier.

The first fifty had a Porsche-designed turret, but thereafter mass-produced King Tigers had an updated turret designed by Henschel. The L/71 88mm gun was upgraded from the Tiger I, and could defeat 170mm of armor from a kilometer away. Some 430 of these King Tigers were produced until the end of the run in March 1945, proving a constant threat to the end.

Russia was closing in on the Eastern front while American bombing raids were devastating German cities. Italy had been liberated and the Allies were quickly moving through France and the Low Counties. The end looked near for Germany unless they could succeed in a great offensive push, which is exactly what they attempted. On December 16, 1944, an American sentry reported countless "pinpoints of light" flickering along the German line. Seconds later, shells exploded around him and he realized that the lights were the muzzle flashes of hundreds of German guns. A massive German counteroffensive was underway along the 85-mile Ardennes front. In the north, the Sixth Panzer Army struck the U.S. 99th and 2nd Divisions. In the center, the fifth Panzer Army hit the 106th Division, the 14th Cavalry Group and part of the 28th Division. In the South, the Seventh Army clashed with the U.S. 4th, 9th and 28th Armored Divisions. Although the Allies were initially sent reeling, courageous troops and rugged armor such as the Sherman tank eventually turned the tides of battle. One of the most used versions of this tank was the 75mm gun-equipped M4A3 Sherman, which used a V8 450hp Ford engine. The late production version first rolled out of the factories in February 1944 with an angled front hull and 63.5mm armored plate. To the turret, a cupola for the commander and hatch for the loader were added. This version was also equipped with wet ammo storage bins, which helped prevent internal fires, a weakness of earlier Shermans.

Tamiya U.S. Multiple Gun Motor Carriage M16 Half Track (1:35)

With this in mind, many kinds of anti-aircraft weapons were developed to fight against enemy aircraft attacks, which led to fierce battles seen at every front. One such anti-aircraft machine seen during WWII was the M16 self propelled gun which was manufactured from 1942 to 1943. Fitted on the M3 half-track chassis was the quad mounted 50-caliber (12.7mm) Browning automatic heavy machine gun, which had an 893m/s muzzle velocity, 6,767m range, and a discharging rate of 450-555 rounds per minute, which earned it the nickname of "the meat chopper." The Type M45 gun mount could rotate 360 degrees and elevate between -10 and +90 degrees and was electrically driven which allowed it to move 60 degrees of rotation/elevation per second. Not only was it greatly effective against enemy aircraft, it was also very influential on the ground attack. Even after WWII, the M16 was also deployed with the Japanese Ground Self Defense Forces during the Korean War.

Arguably the most unconventional Fairey designed aircraft to enter full production, the Gannet was developed in response to a 1945 Royal Navy requirement for an advanced carrier-based, turboprop-powered anti-submarine hunter-killer, one which was rugged enough to withstand the rigors of operation at sea.  Intended to counter the recent expansion of the Soviet submarine fleet at the start of the Cold War era, the Gannet was equipped with all manner of the latest electronic detection equipment and if an enemy submarine was detected, it could be marked, tracked, and if necessary, attacked, using bombs, depth charges, rockets, and air-launched acoustic torpedoes. One feature of the Gannet which helped to give it a unique appearance was the adoption of its powerplant, the innovative Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba. This arrangement saw two gas turbine engines mounted side by side in the nose of the gannet, sharing a common gearbox, but both operating independently, each engine driving its own coaxially mounted, contra-rotating propeller. In addition to this, the engines could run on kerosene and even diesel fuel, which was safer to handle and less refined than traditional aviation fuels.  This arrangement provided Gannet crews with more than enough power for carrier operations, with the reassurance of two engines when embarking on long ocean patrols. Once in flight, the pilot could shut down one of the engines to conserve fuel and whilst this would reduce the Gannet's maximum speed, it would extend its loiter capabilities. Usually, a pilot would alternate engine use during a long patrol, running each engine for around an hour before swapping to the other engine - the engine mounted on the port side drove the front propeller. Another unique feature of the Gannet's design was its bi-folding wing system, something which was designed to allow this large aircraft to operate safely and to be stored aboard one of the Royal Navy's relatively small aircraft carriers. When a pilot engaged the wing unfold, this ingenious system not only prepared the wings for flight, but also automatically connected all flight control systems, hydraulic connections and fuel pipes to the main system, without any ground crew intervention.  In operation, there are reports that the Gannet was so rugged a design that when one aircraft lost the outer sections of both wings after performing a particularly violent manoeuvre, the aircraft still managed to make it back safely to its home carrier, something which can only have endeared the aircraft to its crews still further. The Fairey Gannet would prove to be an extremely rugged and highly effective anti-submarine aircraft, one which could carry an impressive array of offensive ordnance and one which was able to attack submarines either on the surface, or when submerged and trying to evade its attentions. Well-liked by air and ground crews alike, 348 Gannets would eventually be produced and in addition to serving with Britain's Fleet Air Arm, the aircraft would also see service with the navies of Australia, Germany and Indonesia.

For an aircraft the Royal Air Force didn’t really want, the Buccaneer proved to be an exceptionally capable machine and by the time they were scheduled for retirement, they were reluctant to let them go. Although they were forced to take a naval aircraft they had originally dismissed, it didn’t take long before the camouflaged Buccaneers of the RAF began to show why this was definitely not a second rate aircraft option.

Airfix Vickers Wellington Mk IA C (1:72)

The production aircraft bore little resemblance to the prototype aircraft and compared to contemporary medium bombers already in service, the Wellington appeared to be much more advanced in design and an aircraft feared by any potential enemy. Its sleek monoplane design and heavy defensive armament placed the new Wellington as one the advanced and capable medium bombers in the world. Perhaps the most significant feature of the Wellingtons design was the adoption of a geodetic construction method, which was developed by famous British engineer and inventor Barnes Wallis. Duralumin W-beams were used to form a metal lattice-work construction on to which wooden battens would be screwed, which would then allow the doped fabric outer skin of the aircraft to be attached.  The resultant fuselage was relatively light in weight but possessed great strength and whilst the method o construction posed challenged for companies engaged in manufacturing Wellington bombers, the inherent strength proved crucial when the aircraft was thrust into combat.  Capable of withstanding significant battle damage, numerous RAF Wellingtons managed to bring their crews back home, when the other bombers would have failed to do so.

Seeing service in every theatre of operation, the B-25 was the most versatile aircraft of its type, fulfilling a multitude of tactical roles in many different operating environments.  Arguably, the most famous action involving the North American B-25 Mitchell came just after 8am on 18th April 1942, when sixteen of the bombers lifted off the relatively short deck of USS Hornet and set course for Japan. Intended as a strike at the heart of the Japanese Empire who had infamously attacked the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, this audacious and heroic raid illustrated the resolve of the American people and the determination of their military forces to strive for victory. The early B-25B aircraft used on the Doolittle Raid performed well, but were already in the process of being upgraded. The later C/D model (different letters were used to denote the manufacturer) proved to be the definitive version of this extremely effective medium bomber and was the first truly mass produced version of the aircraft. An extremely rugged and versatile aircraft, the Mitchell saw service as an anti-submarine patrol aircraft off the coast of Florida and as a strike bomber in the deserts of North Africa, proving successful at both. Some of the later versions of the B-25 became the most heavily armed aircraft of the war, with no less than 18 machine guns and an array of other offensive weaponry. With a solid nose housing 8 heavy guns, these aircraft were lethal gunships, capable of destroying anything in its line of fire.

Tamiya Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R (1:12)

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R (1:12) Kawasaki's legacy of cutting-edge sportbikes has inspired motorcycle fans for generations. Recently, the call for 300km/h plus super sports bikes has motivated several manufactures to bring out powerful contenders. Kawasaki answered the call at the 1999 Paris Motorcycle Show, with the impressive debut of their all-new Ninja ZX-12R. This Ninja was reportedly created in the image of a fighter plane, which comes as no surprise considering that its slippery aerodynamics involved the cooperation of the Aerospace Division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. In fact, the ZX-12R spent more time in the wind tunnel during its development phase than any motorcycle in Kawasaki's history. The results are evident: small winglets on the sides of the fairing separate airflow around the bike; small wind deflectors on the lower forks deflect turbulent air from the engine; a long lip on the edge of the fairing further smooths out airflow. Also, projecting just ahead of the front fairing, a large scoop takes advantage of higher air pressure, heightening intake efficiency. A monocoque frame backbone creates an airbox that allows air to pass through the inside of the bike for cooling in addition to ensuring overall rigidity. The powerplant of the Ninja ZX-12R is a fuel injected 4-cylinder 1,199cc engine that pumps out an abundant 178hp. Its four-into-two-into-one exhaust system features a titanium muffler paired with a catalyzer, which helps eliminate unburned hydrocarbons for cleaner emissions. Kawasaki brilliantly raised the superbike standard in performance, power and aerodynamics with their series flagship, the Ninja ZX-12R. Includes: - Highly detailed plastic kit - Cowling can be removed - Solid rubber tyres with authentic tread pattern - Finely sculpted chain highlight rear suspension. - Brake lights come as semi-transparent red parts and turning signals come as semi-transparent orange parts, offering a quality look even without painting  - Pre coloured plastic parts - Waterslide transfers/decals - Kit requires glue and paint to complete NOT included  - 1:12 Scale

Airfix Starter Set: Land Rover Series 1 Pick-Up (1:43)

Land Rover Series 1 Pick-Up 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.- 1:72 Scale  Includes: - Plastic kit - Interior detail  - Body and panel detailing - Glue, paint and brushes included - 1:43 Scale

Weighing in at around 4 tons operational weight, the Ferret was of all welded construction and featured armour protection capable of withstanding most small arms fire, but nothing much heavier, although it was not intended that the vehicle would be operating in direct opposition to heavy enemy armour.  If it did find itself in a bit of trouble, the 4 wheel drive Ferret was powered by a reliable 6 cylinder Rolls Royce engine which gave it a top speed of 45 mph, a speed it could also achieve in reverse if required, something which could prove extremely useful if the crew found themselves in a tight spot.

Introduced after the end of the Second World War, the Sea Fury would see combat against some of the early jet fighters during the Korean War, where it would perform extremely well. The first deck landing trials commenced in the winter of 1946. The Sea Fury would remain as the Fleet Air Arms principle single-seater fighter until 1953, when it was then replaced by the jet-powered Hawker Sea Hawk.  The aircraft also saw service with a number of overseas air arms, in a variety of operational roles, including strike fighter, trainer and high-speed target towing. The aircraft also became a popular choice in the world of air racing, where the brute power and sheer speed of this magnificent aircraft saw it victorious in countless competitions.

Proving the old adage 'if it looks right, than it is right', the Hawker Hunter was a thing of aviation beauty, streamlined and cultured, but deadly fighting aeroplane at heart. Underlying the Hunter's adaptability, the FGA.9 variant was developed in response to an RAF requirement to replace ground attack Venoms serving with units in the Middle East and was basically an F.6 airframe optimised for close air support operations. Strengthening then Hunter's wing enabled it to carry an impressive array of offensive ordnance, with the FGA.9 presenting the RAF with one of their most capable ground attack fighters. 128 Hunters FGA.9's would see service with home based and overseas squadrons.

(A) - Kit requires glue and paint to complete NOT included - 1:72 scale Aircraft Information and History: 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 Japan's expansionist ambitions throughout WWII and in the early war years, proved to be unequalled in the Pacific region.  The Zero also quickly earned a reputation as a dogfighter and Allied pilots quickly learned to avoid a slow, turning fight with this beautifully balanced aircraft. 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.

Airfix Gift Set: 617 SQN. Dambusters 80th Anniversary (1:72)

Dambusters 80th Anniversary - Gift Set As the first of 20 modified Avro Lancasters arrived at RAF Scampton on 8th April 1943, the specially assembled volunteer crews of specialist 'Squadron X' (later allocated the RAF squadron number 617) from within 5 Group Bomber Command must have been intrigued. The new aircraft were B.III (Specials), referred to at Avro's Woodford factory as Lancaster Type 464 Provisioning and each one had been modified with equipment to deliver the Vickers Type 464 'Upkeep' mine. Although the mines had not been delivered to Scampton at that time, talk amongst the crews inevitably turned to discussing their intended target, with most assuming they would be sent to attack the massive German battleship Tirpitz. As more Lancaster's arrived, the commander of this new squadron, Wing Commander Guy Gibson, selected Lancaster ED932/AJ-G as his own aircraft, due to the fact that the bomber's codes were the same as his father's initials, Alexander James Gibson. Gibson and the crew of ED932 were amongst the first to train with their new aircraft and their unusual bombs, releasing their mines at a test site at Reculver on the north Kent coast from 12th May 1943, just five days before crews embarked on their historic raid. After a period of intense training and on the day prior to the raid, Gibson was finally briefed on the intended targets - 'Operation Chastise' would be striking at the industrial heart of Germany, the great dams of the Ruhr Valley. At 21.39 on 16th May 1943, Gibson and Lancaster ED932 took off from RAF Scampton at the head of the first attack wave of nine Lancasters heading for the Mohne Dam, flying a route over Suffolk, then the North Sea, crossing the Dutch coast at Zeeland, before heading inland attempting to avoid known areas of Luftwaffe defences. As Gibson and his crew made their attack run on the Mohne Dam, the other Lancasters of the first wave circled the target area, watching the effectiveness of the attack run and waiting for the instruction to commence their own attack. Having released their mine, Gibson and his crew flew alongside the other aircraft during their attacks, attempting to draw enemy fire away from the attacking aircraft, giving them the best chance of effecting a breach. The fifth mine dropped was a perfect run and exploded in exactly the right place to cause the already weakened dam to fail – they had done it. In the years which followed, this incredible operation was referred to as the 'Dambusters Raid' and No.617 Squadron would become one of the RAF's most famous units. 'Operation Chastise' was heralded as a spectacular success for Bomber Command, but at a heavy cost, as eight Lancasters and 53 airmen failed to return. Includes: - Detailed plastic kits of F-35B Lightning and Avro Lancaster - Cockpit detailing includes Pilots - Optional undercarriage (up or down positions) - Lancaster Features the famous "Bouncing Bomb" designed and developed by Sir Barnes Wallis - Armament detailing - Waterslide transfers/decals - 2x Display stands - Glue, paints and brushes included - 1:72 Scale

Airfix Starter Set: F-35B Lightning II (1:72)

F-35B Lightning II (1:72) As one of the most advanced aircraft in the world, the Lockheed Martin® F-35B® Lightning® is a fifth generation multi-role combat aircraft designed to dominate the skies, using stealth technologies to operate undetected in hostile airspace, striking at the heart of the enemy, or relaying vital battlefield information to other friendly forces.  The United Kingdom has elected to take the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) 'B' variant of the F-35, allowing their aircraft to operate from traditional airfields, from the decks of Britain’s two new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers and should the need arise, from dispersed locations, in much the same way as the famous Harrier previously did.  In British service, the F-35 will not carry the Lightning II denotation, as the new jet is actually the third aircraft in RAF service to carry the name, after the Lockheed P-38 from the Second World War and the famous English Electric Lightning which served throughout the Cold War era. Includes: - Detailed plastic kit - Cockpit detail/interior including pilot - Option mould for thruster in vertical or horizontal flight - Optional undercarriage (up or down positions) - Waterslide transfers/decals - Glue, paint and brushes  - 1:72 Scale  

Airfix Hawker Tempest Mk.V Post War (1:72)

Hawker Tempest Mk.V Post War Condition Aircraft information and history: An aircraft which has to be considered one of the finest aeroplanes of the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V could trace its design lineage back to the Hurricane fighters which proved so decisive during the Battle of Britain only two years earlier, but would represent the absolute zenith of piston engined fighter design. Indeed, when accomplished designer Sydney Camm was looking to produce his '˜Super Hurricane'™ replacement for the aviation saviour of the Battle of Britain, the aircraft he surely had in mind was the Tempest V. As it was, the Tempest is often confused with its predecessor in Royal Air Force service, the Typhoon, even though the two are very different aeroplanes.  The original fighter replacement for the Hawker Hurricane was the Typhoon, an aircraft which attempted to combine the most powerful piston engine available at the time with a small, yet strong and heavily armed airframe. Although intended as an interceptor fighter, it became apparent during development that the new aircraft would not be able to fulfil this role, as the thickness of the wing was not conducive to high performance at high altitude. In fact, the Typhoon would endure quite a troubled development and service introduction, to the point where cancellation of the programme was seriously considered at one time. Nevertheless, the Typhoon would eventually go on to find its aviation niche as a hard-hitting ground attack aircraft and one which would come into its own during the time of the Allied invasion of Normandy.  Aware that their Typhoon had great potential but was in need of improvement, the Hawker design team started work on a new fighter project, one which incorporated many of the same philosophies as Typhoon, but also, several significant modifications. Indeed, the new aircraft was initially referred to as the Typhoon Mark II, but this was changed to Tempest as the prototype aircraft'™s first flight approached. Although this was still a big aeroplane for a single engined fighter, its airframe was light and it would be powered by the massively powerful 24 cylinder Napier Sabre engine, a powerplant which would give the new fighter spectacular performance. Making its first flight on 2nd September 1942, the new Hawker Tempest featured a newly designed laminar flow wing, which was much thinner than the wing used on its predecessor and allowed the new fighter to slip through the air at incredible speed.  At first glance, the Typhoon and Tempest do share many similarities, however, if you know where to look, it is not difficult to tell them apart. Without doubt, the wing is the most obvious distinguishing feature, as not only is this thinner than the one used on the Typhoon, it is also a completely different shape. With a straighter leading edge and more elliptical trailing edge, the Tempest'™s wing was designed for speed, even though it could still be used effectively in a ground attack role. Other Tempest design differences include a slightly longer nose and a tail section which appears to be much larger, with a more generous vertical stabiliser which features a pronounced dorsal fillet. During the prototype aircraft'™s maiden flight, it posted an impressive top speed of 477 mph in level flight, impressing both the design team and the watching Air Ministry.  The Hawker Tempest V entered Royal Air Force service in early 1944, with the first two squadrons to receive the type having both previously operated the Typhoon. It was thought that managing the incredible power generated by the Tempest'™s engine could pose problems for pilots converting from smaller aircraft types and that former Typhoon units would be best placed to negotiate its squadron introduction. In advance of the D-day landings, Tempests were being used in a similar ground attack role to the one being flown so effectively by Typhoon squadrons, however, should it be required to make the shift to air combat operations mid-mission, the Tempest was much more suited to this task. Possessing significantly greater range than the Typhoon, Tempests could loiter in the combat zone for longer periods, allowing offensive strikes deeper into occupied Europe, or allowing pilots to wait patiently for the Luftwaffe to come up and fight, where they could show them what their new fighter could really do.  As the fastest Allied fighter at low and medium altitudes, Tempest squadrons were held back for home defence duties in the weeks which followed the successful D-day landings, due to the onslaught of a sinister new weapon, the V-1 '˜Doodlebug'™ pulse jet flying bomb. The Tempest proved to be an excellent V-1 killer, using the speed of the fighter, effectiveness of its guns and bravery of its pilots to destroy large numbers of these terrifying weapons before they could wreak their havoc on British towns and cities. Britain'™s most effective force against these indiscriminate weapons, hundreds of Doodlebugs were shot down by the RAF'™s Hawker Tempest V squadrons, with Squadron Leader Joseph Berry proving to be the most proficient at this work, with no fewer than 61 V-1 '˜kills'™ to his name.  With the V-1 threat diminishing, the RAF'™s Tempest V squadrons were free to embark on aggressive seek and destroy missions into occupied Europe, using the speed, range and firepower of their latest fighter to great effect. Looking for potential V-1 launch sites and increasingly, the new German jet fighters which had started operating against the Allied air forces, the Tempest began to show that it was undoubtedly one of the most capable fighting aeroplanes in the world. Indeed, it has been reported that the aggressively flown Tempest was the Allied aircraft Messerschmitt Me262 jet pilots most feared during those early days of jet powered operations, particularly if they were caught during the landing and taking off phases of flight, when their jets were much more vulnerable.  There is no doubt that the Hawker Tempest V was a real brute of an aeroplane, fast, heavily armed and possessing performance which could better any fighter the Luftwaffe had in service, perhaps with the exception of the Me262 at full speed. Pilots who had experience flying both the Tempest V and its predecessor, the Typhoon, describe the difference as being like night and day - they actually said that it was like comparing a cart horse with a race horse. Although this seems a little harsh, as they flew the aircraft in combat, we should certainly bow to their judgement. Although appearing relatively late in WWII, the Tempest V still takes its place as one of the most effective piston engined fighters of the Second World War and was perhaps the '˜Super Hurricane'™ designer Sydney Camm had always envisaged developing.

Tamiya Valentine MK.II/IV (1:35)

Valentine MK.II/IV  The lighweight, compact Valentine was an infantry tank first deployed in 1940 by British forces. It came as a welcome addition for the beleagured British who had been forced into a desperate evacuation from Dunkirk, during which precious materiel had to be left behind. A total run of over 7,000 units (produced in Britain and Canada) made the Valentine the most prolifically produced British tank during WWII. The Mk.II/IV variant was equipped with the 40mm 2-pounder gun, and featured a 130 hp diesel engine as well as a "slow motion" coil sprung suspension system that gave it ample mobility for the infantry tank role. It débuted in November 1941 in North Africa, and was still serving in Tunisia, in May 1943. Valentines were also passed in significant numbers to the Soviet Union under the "lend-lease" program. They were used largely in reconnaissance roles.

Tamiya Sherman Easy 8 Euro Theatre (1:35)

Sherman Easy 8 Euro Theatre The U.S. M4 Sherman tank was undoubtedly one of the symbols of WWII, deployed in great quantities and numerous variants to counter the potent threat of German armor. One such variant was the M4A3E8, which was one of the final Sherman types and thus had the benefit of design improvements developed from experience in battle. These included a hardy welded late production hull, plus the welcome addition of the 76mm main gun. It was also fitted with new Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS), and wider tracks, making for the significantly more comfortable ride that led to the M4A3E8's nickname of "Easy Eight." They were thrown into their maiden operation in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 as part of the 4th Armored Division under General Patton's overall command, contributing to the relief of the besieged town of Bastogne and the eventual triumph of the Allies in the European Theater.

Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf N (1:35)

Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf N (1:35) During the middles stages of WWII, most German military vehicles had trouble providing adequate support to troops, therefore the N type tank was built to help solve this problem. The N type tank replaced its Marder III main battery with a 7.5cm gun which could fire high-performance high-explosive bursting projectile shells. From June 1942 through to August 1943, existing J, L, & M models also received these upgrades and 663 tanks were fitted, and another 37 were also upgraded later in 1944. In the summer of 1942 these tanks appeared on the battlefield with their highly explosive shells, and they proved to be highly efficient in their role of reinforcing the ground troops. They were deployed into newly organized heavy tank battalions, to make up for the lack of Tiger I tanks. As a support tank, the N type was easy to manage and very reliable, and in the latter half of WWII it fought at many fronts.   Includes: - Detailed plastic kit - Accurate short Barrel 7.5cm gun reproduced from aluminium - Grill etchings - Loading area detail - Smoke discharger on left and right of turret - 2x Commander figures  - 4x Sets of waterslide transfers (including Russian and African fronts) - Track and wheel detail - Kit requires glue and paint to complete NOT included) - 1:35 Scale

Around 840 Ausf.D Panthers were produced between January and September of 1943, and the first time it appeared on the battlefield was in the Battle of Kursk in July of that year. While it wasn't all smooth sailing, Panthers were still able to take out some 140 Soviet tanks from a range of 1,500 to 2,000 meters, all the while protected impeccably by their sloped plate. The Ausf.D was followed by improved Ausf.A and G variants, and while the Panther was unable to stop the tide from turning against Germany it nonetheless revolutionized German armored vehicle design, and remained on the front line until the end of hostilities.
