Central to this military strength was the legionnaire - heavily equipped, thoroughly trained, and functioning within a strict hierarchy under the command of centurions. These leaders, identified by their transverse-crested helmets, maintained discipline and led their units into battle with steadfast authority. The standard bearer, or signifer, held a crucial role, bearing the unit's standard which acted as both a rallying point amidst the chaos of battle and a representation of the legion's honour and identity. Losing a standard in combat was seen as a severe dishonour. Roman chariots, although not used in large formations like those of the Celts and Greeks, were still important for ceremonies, victory parades, and occasionally in specific combat situations. The chariot driver needed significant skill to manage the strong horses while manoeuvring across the battlefield. This Vintage Classics set encapsulates the essence of Rome's military strength, from the individual legionnaire poised with gladius and scutum, to the command structure that made the Roman Army an indomitable force across three continents.

Airfix WWII RAF Ground Crew (1:48)

WWII RAF Ground Crew While it is the pilots that often receive the most acclaim for their role in defending the United Kingdom from the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain in the late summer of 1940, they could never have completed this job alone. Supporting the pilots were many more men and women from across the UK who served as ground crew, performing the vital tasks of refuelling, rearming and maintaining fighter aircraft in between sorties. This was a particularly hazardous task during the Luftwaffe attacks and hit-and-run raids upon RAF airfields. In addition to refuelling and re-arming Spitfires and Hurricanes with thousands of .303 rounds, these hard-working people also patched up damaged fighters, started the engines before sorties, and assisted pilots despite the hectic pace of the battle. The bombing raids and strafing attacks claimed many lives and many more ground crew members were injured, but they carried on, both through the battle and throughout the remainder of the war, often working both in the blazing sun and freezing cold, ensuring that the RAF had the means to defend the skies of Great Britain. This kit includes:   8 Ground Crew Figures  2 Pilot Figures  1 Trolley Accumulator  1 Oil Bowser  1 Ammunition Trolley Wheel Chock  Miscellaneous Support Equipment   - 108 Parts - 1 Scheme Options  - Skill Level 1 - Plastic kit - 1:48 Scale
