Vallejo - Warpaint Aviation 1: Fall of Iron Light & Medium Bombers of WWII Book
$37.00
Fall of Iron - Light and Medium bomber aircraft of World War 2
Authors Gary Hatcher & Chris Meddings
Fall of Iron is the first in a series of compendium volumes covering military aircraft with a focus on some of the less well-covered subjects. The series is designed to offer a brief one-stop historical reference combined with colour artwork and is aimed primarily scale modellers but offers plenty for the general aviation enthusiast too.
This first volume looks at some of the twin-engined medium bombers of World War Two and includes a selection of profiles written by Richard Mason, as well as a ground-breaking piece of research on the early B-25 Mitchell by Brian Derbyshire that offers an incisive look into the business of wartime mass-production and the vast number of changes to the ensuing airframes brought about as a result of ongoing combat experience. Other aircraft covered include the rarely discussed Tupolev SB-2, the Mitsubishi G4M Betty, Bristol Blenheim, Savoia-Marchetti SM.79, Petylyakov Pe-2 and the Handley Page Hampden.
Many of these aircraft have been overlooked as 'also-rans' by history and the scale modelling community but an examination of similar types designed for similar roles from various Axis and Allied air forces demonstrates just how much aircraft development kept pace during the conflict, and how despite their clear external differences aircraft designers all over the World were drawing the same conclusions as a result of experience gained in a shooting war.
Comprehensive enough to inform but concise enough to be useful, Fall of Iron presents a picture of Wartime bomber development that will help the reader understand the essential role these unsung machines played and the sometimes remarkable use that was made of them. This books is 92 pages

Osprey Publishing - Raid: Operation Eagle Claw 1980 The Disastrous Bid to end the Iran Hostage Crisis
$27.25
Following months of negotiations after the seizure of the US Embassy in Tehran on 4 November 1979, President Jimmy Carter ordered the newly formed Delta Force to conduct a raid into Iran to free the hostages. The raid, Operation Eagle Claw, was risky to say the least. US forces would have to fly into the deserts of Iran on C-130s; marry up with carrier-based RH-53D helicopters; fly to hide sites near Tehran; approach the Embassy via trucks; seize the Embassy and rescue the hostages; board the helicopters descending on Tehran; fly to an airbase captured by more US forces; and then fly out on C-141s and to freedom. Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly given the complexity of the mission, things went wrong from the start and when the mission was called off at the refueling site at Desert One, the resulting collision between aircraft killed eight US personnel.
This title tells the full story of this tragic operation, supported by maps, photographs, and specially-commissioned bird's-eye-views and battlescenes which reveal the complexity and scale of the proposed rescue and the disaster which followed.

Osprey Publishing - Campaign: Constantinople AD717-18 The Crucible of History
$29.75
The siege of Constantinople in AD 717-18 was the supreme crisis of Western civilization.
The Byzantine Empire had been reeling under the onslaught of Arabic imperialism since the death of the Prophet, whilst Jihadist armies had detached Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Carthage from imperial control and were in the process of imposing their ascendancy at sea. The Empire had been reduced to its Anatolian and Balkan heartland, and Arab incursions threatened even this - Arab naval forces had appeared under the walls of Constantinople every year from AD 674 to 678. But all this was only a prelude to the massive combined-arms invasion force that advanced on the capital in 717.
This title offers a comprehensive study of the ensuing clash between the ascendant Caliphate and the Empire at bay. It details the forces available to each side, with their respective advantages and vulnerabilities, evaluating the leadership qualities of the rival commanders and assessing their strategic and tactical initiatives. It also accounts for the trajectory and outcome of the campaign and emphasises the fundamental significance of the struggle. By holding the line, the Byzantines gave Europe enough time to develop at its own pace and emerge strong enough to face down its Islamic counterpart on equal terms. If Constantinople had fallen in 717, could Europe have endured as an independent entity? Could Christianity have survived as major religion? What would the future course of world history have been?

Osprey Publishing - Combat: French Soldier vs German Soldier Verdun 1916
$27.25
On 21 February 1916, the German Army launched a major attack on the French fortress of Verdun. The Germans were confident that the ensuing battle would compel France to expend its strategic reserves in a savage attritional battle, thereby wearing down Allied fighting power on the Western Front. However, initial German success in capturing a key early objective, Fort Douaumont, was swiftly stemmed by the French defences, despite heavy French casualties. The Germans then switched objectives, but made slow progress towards their goals; by July, the battle had become a stalemate.
During the protracted struggle for Verdun, the two sides' infantrymen faced appalling battlefield conditions; their training, equipment and doctrine would be tested to the limit and beyond. New technologies, including flamethrowers, hand grenades, trench mortars and more mobile machine guns, would play a key role in the hands of infantry specialists thrown into the developing battle, and innovations in combat communications were employed to overcome the confusion of the battlefield. This study outlines the two sides' wider approach to the evolving battle, before assessing the preparations and combat record of the French and German fighting men who fought one another during three pivotal moments of the 10½-month struggle for Verdun.

Osprey Publishing - Men at Arms: Japanese Armies 1868-1877 The Boshin War & Satsuma Rebellion
$23.50
The restoration of the Meiji Imperial dynasty in 1868, after 250 years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, decisively opened Japan to the outside world and the monarchy embraced modernization, including the creation of a new Westernized army. However, this modernization process was resisted by the traditional Samurai feudal nobility, leading to a series of battles.
The first clash between the two cultures came swiftly. During the Boshin War of 1868­-69, a French military adviser, Jules Brunet, changed sides to join the insurgents. They won several engagements before the final crushing of the rebel Ezo Republic. After this point, the Imperial Army continued to modernize along French lines, and social changes began to impoverish Samurai noblemen, who lost their social and political role and their associated privileges.
During 1876, the powerful Satsuma Domain, around Kagoshima in south-west Kyushu, became a focus for discontent. Its leader Saigo Takamori effectively ignored the central government, and in January 1877, increasing unrest broke out into open rebellion. The Imperial forces were now much stronger, and the Navy could land troops and bombard Kagoshima. The bitter Satsuma siege and attempted capture of Kumamoto Castle finally failed in April, and the Samurai made a last stand at Shiroyama on 24 September, choosing to go down fighting. This marked the final defeat and displacement of the Samurai class.
This fully illustrated title explores the fall of the Samurai in detail, examining the arms, tactics, key figures of both sides, and charting the increasing Westernization of the Imperial forces.

Tamiya 1/32 F51D Mustang Fighter Korean War
$235.50
Considered by many the most capable WWII fighters, the Mustang was also active in the Korean War, and this model creates one such F-51D. Renamed from the P-51D to the F-51D to go along with the creation of the US Air Force, the Mustang seemed set for gradual retirement as the jet aircraft took center stage. With the outbreak of hostilities on the Korean peninsula, however, that all changed. United Nations forces were hard pushed in the early stages of the war, and USAF P-80s were unable to land in areas where there were frequently no proper runways. The F-51D stepped in and performed admirably in a ground attack role as the United Nations forces pushed back.

SAM Publications - The Grumman F-14 Tomcat
$57.00
Immortalised by the film ‘Top Gun’, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat was an iconic American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. Developed for the US Navy after the collapse of the F-111B project, it was designed to incorporate the air combat experience gained against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War. The F-14 first flew on 21 December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974, replacing the F-4 Phantom. The F-14 served as the Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defence interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 1990s. The Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system were added in the 1990s and the Tomcat began performing precision ground-attack missions as the ‘Bombcat’ The F-14 was equipped with an internal 20mm M61 Vulcan Gatling cannon mounted on the left side, and could carry the AIM-54 Phoenix ‘fire and forget’ missile as well as the, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder. Operationally, the capability to hold up to six Phoenix missiles was never used, as there was never a threat requirement to engage six hostile targets simultaneously and the load was too heavy to safely recover aboard an aircraft carrier in the event that the missiles were not fired. During the height of Cold War operations in the late 1970s and 1980s, the typical weapon loadout on carrier-deployed F-14s was usually only one AIM-54 Phoenix, augmented by two AIM-9 Sidewinders, two AIM-7 Sparrow IIIs, a full loadout of 20mm ammunition and two drop tanks. The Phoenix missile was used twice in combat over Iraq in 1999, but the missiles did not score any kills. The Tomcat was also sold to Iran, who made use of the Phoenix system, claiming dozens of kills with it during the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War. This revised and updated Datafile one not to be missed!

In 1970s, the USSR had a strong demand of a new fighter, being highly efficient against F-15, F-14, Mirage-F.1, F-111B and B-1 strategic bomber, and the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft.
In March 1971, the "Prospective Frontline Fighter” technical specification was approved by the Soviet government and forwarded to the leading design bureaus, including the Sukhoi’s. In that way, the first concept design of the required aircraft appeared, receiving factory code - T-10.
During the designing process, several construction schemes of T-10 have been tested. In 1974, the T-10-4‘s design was revised and its general drawings were approved as a base of the future Su-27, under the designation "mark 10" or T-10-10.
T-10 was all-metal monoplane, having high-wing with ailerons and flaps, twin tail arrangement and all-movable horizontal stabilizer. It’s power plant consists of 2 turbojet engines AL-21F3. The plane has following armament: medium-range K-27 missiles, short range K-73 missiles, built-in GSh-301 cannon.
By November 1982, all fine adjustments to T-10-10 have been completed and in the spring of the next year, 7 test shoots were accomplished.
The tests were conducted "intensively". In total, 11 flying targets were shot down.
Till April 1984, the prototype performed in total 202 flights. Further on, like most experimental machines, it was turned into educational sample. T-10-10 made a flight to Zhuliany airfield, then a last one to Vasilkovo aviation technical school. Currently – it is exhibited at the Lugansk Aerotechnical museum, Ukraine.

Mirage-IIIE was the most massively produced modification of the entire Mirage-III family of aircrafts. It was designed as an all-weather strike/multi-role fighter
In addition to the air superiority functions, Mirage IIIE could also be used for ground attacks not only with conventional bomb weapons, but also using AN-52 tactical nuclear bomb. Mirage-IIIE represented further development of the earlier Mirage-IIIC interceptor. It’s first flight took place in 1961, three years later – it entered in service with the French Air Force.
The plane had powerful Thomson-CSF "Cyrano" II radar system with extended air-to-ground modes and complex navigation equipment. Four under-wing pylons carried up to 4,000 kg of combat load, including Matra AS30, Matra AS37 , and Matra R.530E missiles. It was also capable of carrying bombs, unguided missiles pods, special tactical containers and external fuel tanks. The plane was powered by TREC SNECMA ATAR 9C turbojet engine with afterburner, having dry thrust of 42,50 kN, or 60 kN with afterburner.
The basic layout of Mirage-IIIE featured a tailless delta configuration. Mirage-IIIE was supplied to Libya, Pakistan, South Africa, Spain, Australia, Switzerland, etc.

Although its good prespectives, on 28 March 1966 the Defence Ministry halted the Mirage III V production programme for financial reasons.

It was directly developed by the fighter Vought F-8 Crusade airframe. The A-7 was characterised by the large frontal air intake under tha cabin, by the 35° foldable swept wing to optimize the use and the storage on the aircraft carriers flight decks and by the adoption of a modern Head-up-Display to enhance the operational effectiveness.  Thanks to its underwing hardpoints the A-7 was able to carry an impressive offensive load based on conventional bombs, guided bombs as the Paveway and air-to-surface missiles. The A-7E was the last version produced for the U.S Navy with an improved operational capabilities and the possibility to use the Harpoon anti-ship missiles and the AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles

NEW GLUABLE RUBBER TRACKS - DECAL FOR 4 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET

The self-propelled guns of the M-110 series have represented, for many years, the backbone of the field artillery of the United States Army. They were also largely used by the American Allied Countries.  It entered service in the ‘60s but thanks to the improvements made in 1977 on the M-110 A1 version, it acquired improved operational efficiency. The M-110 A1 was armed with the new 203 mm long range M201 gun able to use a wide range of ammunitions. The project was characterized by an excellent mix in terms of firepower and mobility thanks to its reliable chassis (the same of the M-107). The M-110 A1 was deployed in the division artillery to perform tasks as general support, counter-battery fire and suppression of enemy positions. It was widely used during the conflict in Lebanon and during the first Gulf war.

Thanks to its 4x4 traction and its sturdy structure, simple for construction but very reliable, the Range Rover was able to achieve very good off-road performances. The vehicle was able to obtain, very soon, good commercial success all over the World. The Range Rover, furthermore, was widely used by bodybuilders to create numerous special versions able to satisfy all types of needs.

Squadron Signal Books - PBY Catalina in Action
$20.75
PBY Catalina In Action. Book by David Doyle. Squadron Signal Books. The iconic PBY Catalina was not only the work horse of the U.S. Navy's patrol bomber units during World War II, but also served admirably with the Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, and others. Airmen aboard British PBYs were the first to spot the German battleship Bismarck when it broke out into the North Atlantic in May 1941, and U.S. Navy PBY crewmen were the first to observe the Japanese fleet as it stole towards Midway Islands in June 1942. In addition to keeping a watchful eye out for enemy activities, Catalina crews also rescued countless downed airmen as well as sailors from stricken ships. Through daring bomb and depth-charge attacks on enemy vessels, Catalina airmen also contributed directly to the defeat of the Axis powers in combat. This all-new 80-page volume from Squadron tells the story of the Catalina through over 200 vintage photos, over 30 of which are in color, as well as eight color profiles and numerous detailed line drawings. Illustrated with more than 210 photographs; 80 pages.

Dragon 1/350 USS Kidd DDG993 Destroyer
$66.75
The U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-993) was commissioned on March 27th 1981. The four destroyers of the Kidd class were originally built for the Shah of Iran, and were acquired by the US Navy following the Shah's overthrow in 1979. The US Navy acquired them in 1981 and 1982 after they were canceled by the succeeding Iranian government. For this reason they are often referred to as the "Ayatollah class".
Built for action in the Persian Gulf, these ships are oriented for general purpose operations rather than specialized anti-submarine war. The most formidable warship of her size ever to patrol the world's oceans, blending the best features of the SPRUANCE Class destroyers with the combat system of the VIRGINIA Class nuclear cruisers to produce a ship with unique characteristics:
A ship so quiet, and an ASW system so capable, that she operates offensively against submarines.
The most sophisticated medium-range AAW systems in the Fleet, quick-reacting and highly accurate, with the capability for today's air defense environment and the growth potential for tomorrow's.
An exceptionally reliable and responsive engineering plant.
A deadly surface-to-surface weapons capability.
These characteristics make KIDD a triple-threat, one of the few truly multi-mission ships, able to operate offensively, to deal with simultaneous air, surface, and sub-surface attacks. After over 16 years of service with the U.S. Navy, this ship was decommissioned on March 12th 1988.

Dragon 1/35 PzKpfw III Ausf M Tank Kursk 1943
$118.50
The second subject in this scintillating Neo Smart Kit line is a Panzer III Ausf.M as used during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. A total of 250 tanks of this variant were produced from October 1942 till February 1943. Based on the preceding Pz.Kpfw.III L tank, key design features included a deep-wading exhaust and special seals (to aid river crossings) and the attachment of Schurzen side skirt armor on the hull and turret. The Panzer III Ausf.M was armed with a 5cm KwK.39 L/60 main gun. This tank was widely used in the gigantic Battle of Kursk in July-August 1943, when nearly 3,000 German tanks clashed with more than 5,000 Soviet tanks.

Dragon 1/72 Panzer Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M with Schurzen
$34.75
The Panzer III Ausf.M succeeded the Ausf.L. It shared the same 5cm KwK39 L/60 main gun and among its modifications was a deep-wading muffler with a series of associated hatch seals that allowed fording of water obstacles up to a depth of 1.3m. To meet popular demand, Dragon has released its newest Panzer III kit – an Ausf.M equipped with Schürzen, which were protective steel plates designed to stymy enemy anti-tank weapons. Furthermore, Dragon’s kit depicts a tank participating in the largest-ever tank conflagration, the Battle of Kursk in July 1943, that involved a staggering 8,000 tanks!
The stunning box-top illustration portrays a Panzer III M fighting in Kursk. Meanwhile, inside the box lie all the necessary and desirable ingredients to create an accurate 1/72 Panzer III M. The Schürzen plates and related brackets are also produced. The kit is extremely well engineered and the parts separation is cleverly handled by the design team. Markings for vehicles in the Battle of Kursk are obviously available in the form of Cartograf decals, including unit in Kursk!

Dragon 1/48 Apollo 11 Lunar Approach: CSM Columbia + LM Eagle
$133.50
Apollo 11 will forever remain hallowed in history books since it was the mission that first put man on the Moon. Watched by millions of TV viewers, the historic Moon landing occurred on 20 July 1969 when the lander touched down on the southern Sea of Tranquility. The Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, spent 21.5 hours on the Moon’s surface, while the Command & Service Module (CSM), named Columbia orbited above.
As for Dragon’s 1/48 scale model, it features the Eagle LM still coupled to the Columbia CSM on its approach to the Moon. The spacecraft modules possess accurate detail, and this kit conveniently provides them both in a single box. Having the two modules connected like this makes for an impressive sight when they’re exhibited on their integral display stand. The set also features a newly tooled adapter to combine the two modules together. Furthermore, the kit makes for an interesting education lesson, allowing modelers to understand more about this milestone event. Dragon is here providing a 1/48 scale kit that will serve as a magnificent desktop display piece thanks to its outstanding size and uncompromising detail.

Dragon 1/72 Sd.Kfz.251/22 Ausf.D w/7.5cm PaK 40
$37.25
Dragon has released a fair number of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks in its 1/72 scale range. However, among the ranks there has never been an Sd.Kfz.251/22 variant up till now. This particular halftrack version mounted a 7.5cm PaK 40 L/46 antitank gun, and it was the last major variant to be built in this famous halftrack family. As Germany desperately sought weapons to counter the onslaught of Russian and Allied tanks, one expedient was to mount this potent antitank cannon on Ausf.D halftracks, with conversions beginning in December 1944.
Dragon’s new 1/72 kit is based on the existing high-quality Sd.Kfz.251 chassis, with all the necessary alterations enabling it to mount the 7.5cm cannon. The vehicle features a completely new gun mount, and details on the PaK 40 are delicately and accurately rendered. Additional details such as ammo cases are also supplied to populate the interior of this open-topped fighting vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 has always been a popular subject amongst modelers, and this most powerful and lethal variant of all will ensure it packs a punch and is an instant hit with modelers!

Airfix 1/72 Heinkel He 111H-6 'Motorhead Bomber' Special Edition
$57.75
Motörhead, the iconic heavy-metal band’s striking album artwork for their 1979 ‘Bomber’ was carefully created by an illustrator. Lemmy, “Fast” Eddie Clark and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor are shown inside the cockpit of a Heinkel in the Blitz. Lemmy, himself a collector of WWII memorabilia, insisted the plane be German.
The illustrator explains: “I suggested the Heinkel plane. They wanted this photo-realistic effect, so I designed the thing with the detached bomb coming towards you."
“I worked in airbrush in black and white, which I would then tint,” he adds. “That’s why my work always looked very doomy. To get the lighting right, I got a little Airfix kit of a Heinkel 111, made it up and sprayed it black.” He then photographed the model to get the reflections underneath. “When you work realistically, you’ve got to have a realistic reference.”
The album sleeve made such an impression the band insisted on a remarkable 40ft Heinkel replica to accompany them on stage for their now notorious ‘Bomber’ tour.
“It’s the most famous cover I’ve ever done,”
The album was released on October 27th 1979, reaching number 12 on the UK charts.
To mark the 40th Anniversary, Airfix is pleased to offer a version of its latest Heinkel with the “Bomber” markings included, and with the special Anniversary box lid.

Tamiya 1/24 Mazda MX5 RF Roadster Sports Car
$55.75
This model assembly kit recreates the fun to drive MX-5 (also known as the Miata MX-5 in the US and Roadster in Japan). Specifically, the kit recreates the RF model that was originally announced by Mazda in 2016: the initials stand for Retractable Fastback, as the car features a sleek fastback hard- top design with innovative retractable roof. In fact, the actual car's three-piece roof opens and closes in just thirteen seconds, and all at the push of a single button. It also features tweaks to its chassis and suspension to accommodate the heavier top section, while retaining all of Mazda’s vaunted safety features.

• 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 164mm, width: 80mm.
• The kit depicts the 2017 model MX-5 RF, complete with options available on top grade models in the Japan market such as Recaro seats, and BBS wheels.
• Parts to build: Japanese, US, UK or European market spec cars.
• NEW side window parts in this kit allow for the hard top to be depicted up or down.
• Detailed renditions of the suspension and interior.
• Metal-plated parts are used to depict light reflectors and other components.
• Decals are included for instrumentation and other details, as are metal transfers for emblems and side mirror surfaces.

Tamiya 1/48 Russian T55 Medium Tank
$36.00
Tamiya’s 1/35 T-55 model kit is regarded as a staple model kit among model contest aficionados. Tamiya brings this fan favorite subject to a smaller scale with this 1/48 rendition. The T-55 medium tank not only provided a base for later T-62, T-72 and T-80 designs still in use today, it spurred Western rivals on and contributed to the great East-West arms race of the Cold War.

Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt Me262A2A Fighter
$22.25
Despite being the most advanced aircraft of WWII, Adolf Hitler insisted that the Me262 be developed into a fast attack bomber, diverting valuable resources from much needed fighter production. Known as the ‘Stormbird’ the attack version included hard points for two 500kg bombs under the nose of the aircraft, with its speed making it almost invulnerable from Allied air interception.

Airfix 1/72 MiG17 Fresco (Shenyang J5) Fighter
$22.25
The end of the Second World War saw the victorious Allied nations desperately attempting to secure details of German jet technology and high speed research data, information which could be applied to their own jet projects. Using this information and engine technology obtained from Britain, the Soviet Union introduced the diminutive Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 in 1949 one of the most capable of the early jet fighters and even as this aircraft was proving effective during the Korean War, the Soviets were already working on its successor. The larger and faster Mig-17 Fresco may have given the appearance of being nothing more than a larger incarnation of its predecessor, however, this was in fact a completely redesigned aircraft, incorporating many improvements over the MiG-15 and a significant upgrade in Soviet jet capability.
The MiG-17 was designed to perform the role of bomber killer and was never intended as a dogfighter, however its exceptional agility would allow this aircraft to score combat victories over much heavier and more modern American designs. Dismissing the aircraft as nothing more than an upgraded MiG-15, the Vietnam War proved to be something of a sobering experience for the US Air Force, as some of their most modern aircraft would fall victim to the guns of the MiG-17, even though this had itself been superseded by more modern designs. Lighter and much more manoeuvrable than the US aircraft, the subsonic MiG-17 would claim victories over such aircraft as the F-105 Thunderchief and McDonnell Douglas Phantom, which would result in the US developing new agile air superiority fighters, in the years immediately following the end of the conflict.
Possessing both excellent performance and being easy to maintain, the rugged MiG-17 was produced in large numbers and became the standard Warsaw Pact fighter from the mid 1950s and for the next decade, with aircraft produced under licence in both China and Poland. An extremely cost effective aircraft, it was an attractive fighter option for many of the world’s smaller air forces and more than thirty overseas nations would eventually operate the type. Perversely, for a nation against which the MiG-17 was designed to combat, America would become home to significant numbers of these aircraft, most coming into the hands of private collectors, but a small number used in dissimilar aircraft trials and to perfect combat techniques against smaller, more agile jet fighters. Two beautifully restored examples have also been popular display performers on the US Airshow circuit over the years.

Airfix 1/72 FG1 Phantom RAF Aircraft
$43.25
With the RAF already operating Phantoms initially intended for the Royal Navy at Leuchars air base in Fife, the withdrawal of HMS Ark Royal in 1978 meant that they also inherited the rest of the Fleet Air Arm Phantom fleet. Nos 43 and 111 Squadrons would use the Phantom FG.1 to defend Britain’s airspace until 1989, when they both converted to the BAe Tornado F.3.

Airfix 1/48 P51D Mustang (Filletless Tails) USAAF Fighter
$39.50
A thoroughbred fighting aeroplane, the P-51D Mustang was produced in greater numbers than any other variant and introduced a number of improvements over earlier models. With a new wing design, teardrop canopy and lower rear fuselage, the P-51D was the mount of many USAAF aces and became the primary US fighter in the European Theatre, following its introduction in mid 1944.

Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hunter F4/F5/J34 Aircraft
$64.25
The service introduction of the Hawker Hunter F.4 in March 1955 presented the RAF with a more capable version of their sleek jet fighter, including a much needed increase in its internal fuel capacity. The F.4 also introduced the two distinctive streamlined chin blisters, which were designed to collect spent ammunition links from the guns, thus preventing potential damage to the aircraft.
