Airfix - Model Kit - de Havilland Canada (DHC) Beaver 1:72 (Skill Level 1)
$38.50
One of the most rugged aircraft ever built, the DHC Beaver was designed to operate in the vast and often inhospitable expanses of the Canadian north and was able to fly into areas where other aircraft simply could not go. With the ability to operate using wheels, skis or floats, the Beaver possessed outstanding STOL capabilities and was specifically designed around the requirements of bush pilots working in these challenging conditions. Also described in many aviation sources as the safest aircraft ever built, the Beaver was also used by many air arms across the world, including Britain's Army Air Corps, who operated 46 of these magnificent aircraft. They were used to great effect as reconnaissance/intelligence gathering aircraft in Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 80s. Scale 1:72. Number of Parts: 91. Dimensions (mm): L128 x W203.

Despite its ungainly appearance, the Brewster Buffalo was one of the most significant aircraft in US aviation history and one which would see heavy combat use during the early months of WWII.  The winner of a fly-off competition with the Grumman Wildcat to provide the US Navy with a new, modern carrier-based monoplane fighter, the Buffalo incorporated a host of advanced design features, including many to support its operation from the deck of US aircraft carriers.  The fighter would also attract strong international sales support, with Britain, Finland and the Netherlands all operating the Buffalo during WWII, particularly with the Commonwealth Air Forces facing the Japanese in South East Asia.

Airfix - Model Kit - Hawker Tempest Mk.V Post War 1:72 (Skill Level 2)
$33.50
One of the finest aeroplanes of the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V could trace its design back to the Hurricane fighters.  The plane entered Royal Air Force service in early 1944.  Although this was still a big aeroplane for a single engined fighter, its airframe was light and it was powered by the massively powerful 24 cylinder Napier Sobre engine, giving the new fighter spectacular performance.  Making its first flight on 2nd September 1942, the Hawker Tempest featured a newly designed laminar flow wing, much thinner than the wing used on its predecessor, allowing the new fighter to slip through the air at incredible speed. Glue Assembly - Paint required (sold separately)  Number of Parts: 72. Dimensions (mm): L143x W174.

One of the most distinctive aircraft of the Second World War, the Messerschmitt Bf 110 was a twin engined heavy fighter intended to be faster and more heavily armed than any other fighter aircraft in the sky at that time and during the early months of WWII, certainly proved to be devastatingly effective. Despite suffering at the hands of the RAF during the Battle of Britain, the Bf 110 would go on to prove its worth as a long range fighter bomber and ground support aircraft over the vast expanses of Russia and into the Mediterranean and North Africa, serving throughout the remainder of the Second World War.

Out of Stock
The pace of aviation development during the First World War was nothing short of astonishing, with aeroplanes transforming from flimsy, unarmed observation platforms to deadly dominators of the sky in less than a twelve month period of fighting.  The year 1917 would prove to be a significant one for the air war over the trenches of the Western Front, as the British introduced their capable Bristol F.2B Fighter, a true multi-role aircraft and the Germans their Fokker DR.1, an aircraft which would be made famous by the feared Manfred von Richthofen.  The scene was set for a period of unrelenting aerial combat, as both sides struggled for supremacy of the skies. Scale 1:72. Number of Parts: 33 Dimensions (mm): Bristol L110mm x W167mm, Fokker L79mm x 110mm.

Airfix - Model Kit - Messerschmitt Me262A-1a/2a 1:72 (Skill Level 2)
$47.50
Representing the primary production variant of the Messerschmitt Me262 jet, the A-1A was the fighter-bomber version of the aircraft desired by Hitler, capable of being used as an interceptor, or configured to carry bombs and air-to-air mortars on nose mounted pylons. With the aircraft's powerful nose mounted cannons used to devastating effect against the massed formations of USAAF bombers attacking Germany, the offensive firepower of the jets could be further enhanced by the addition of R4M “Orkan” (Hurricane) rocket packs under each wing. Mounted on rudimentary racks made from wood, twelve R4M stabilised rockets could be carried under each wing, each one capable of bringing down an enemy bomber. Glue Assembly - Paint required (sold separately)  Number of Parts: 74. Dimensions (mm): L148mm x W174mm. Suitable for ages 8yrs+.

Airfix - Model Kit - De Havilland Mosquito PR.XVI 1:72 (Skill Level 2)
$66.90
Without question, the de Havilland Mosquito qualifies as one of the finist fighting aeroplanes of the Second World War and one which could claim to be the envy of every other air force, particularly the Luftwaffe, who tried, but never quite managed to produce an equivalent aircraft. A true multi-role aircraft, the Mosquito's famous nickname "The Wooden Wonder" referenced the facdt that this hugely successful British aircraft was constructed using "non-strategic" materials and employed a clever system of balsa and hirch plywood lamination, which gave the aircraft great strength.

As Britain prepared for war in the late 1930s, the military weren't just desperately in need of vast numbers of aircraft, tanks, and guns, they also needed many thousands of trucks and general utility vehicles to support all kinds of operations.  The ability to effectively supply modern, mechanized armies with the huge amounts of fuel, ammunition, food and other commoditites they would need was crucial to the success of any military campaign and as the speed of war increased, so these supply lines began to lengthen.

Airfix - Model Kit - Austin K3/Y Ambulance 1:35 (Skill Level 3)
$89.90
Some of the most important military vehicles of the Second World War didn't feature huge main guns, neither were they bedecked with ever thicker armour plating, but are no less fascinating to study. One of the most crucial abilities on any battlefield is to be able to transport your wounded troops quickly and efficiently from the front line, to field medical stations some distance behind the fighting, where they could receive the medical attention they needed and potentially save their lives. Although clearly any vehicle could be used for this task, a dedicated ambulance would often allow the wounded to start receiving care straight away and if you were ever in need of one's services, you would no doubt class these as the most important vehicles on the battlefield. Age: 14 years and up Model No: A1375 Approx package dimensions: 41 x 26 x 6 cms Scale: 1:35 Approx finished...

Airfix - Model Kit - Cromwell Tank Mk.IV 1:35 (Skill Level 3)
$79.90 $92.00
The A27M Cromwell Mk.IV was the most heavily produced version of the new Cruiser Tank Mk.VIII and matched the Centour hull with the highly effective Rolls Royce Meteor engine (A27Meteor), which allowed the tank to travel at impressively high speeds.  The tank also featured a quick firing 75mm gun, which was a re-bored version of the British 6 pounder gun and allowed the commandeer to have the option of using American produced armour piercing or high explosive rounds.  Although originally introduced in November 1943, persistent problems with the new gun's operation meant that the Mk.IV would not make its combat introduction until the Normandy landings in June 1944, where its speed and mobility would complement the Sherman tanks, which were available in greater numbers.

Airfix - Model Kit - Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I 1:72 (Skill Level 1)
Out of Stock
The Boulton-Paul Defiant was the only "Turret Fighter" to enter service with the RAF.  The Defiant used the philosophy that a fighter aircraft, armed soley with a turret bristling with machine guns would be able to enter a bomber stream causing havoc and the turret would also enable it to defend itself from enemy fighters. During its first few engagements during the Battle of Britain in 1940, enemy pilots were taken by surprise and the Defiant fared well but soon the Lutwaffe pilots worked out its weaknesses, especially the lack of forward firing guns and the Defiant was soon relegated to night fighting duties were it fared better.  Scale 1:72.
