<description>Curtiss P-36C. The final production series of the P-36A, featuring additional wing-mounted armament. Used for training and camouflage testing, it offers a visually appealing variety of paint schemes.

Marking options:

Curtiss P-36C, 27th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group,
National Air Races, Cleveland, Ohio, September 1939
Aircraft finished in one of the most distinctive experimental camouflage schemes used by the 27th PS. The temporary, high-contrast paintwork was intended for display purposes and formed part of trials conducted prior to the introduction of standard wartime camouflage schemes.
Curtiss P-36C, 27th Pursuit Squadron, USAAC,
Selfridge Field, Michigan, 1939
Aircraft photographed before the application of display camouflage, finished in the uniform, classic scheme used by frontline units. An example of the early appearance of the P-36C before the intensive camouflage testing phase.
Curtiss P-36C, 23rd Composite Group,
Eglin Field, Florida, 1940
Aircraft used for intensive training and test flights. The unit took part in training interception exercises involving B-25B bombers from James H. Doolittle’s unit, prior to the Tokyo raid in April 1942. The provisional camouflage and visible wear are the result of frequent flying and repeated repainting.
Curtiss P-36C Hawk – a short production run at the dawn of a new era

The Curtiss P-36 Hawk was the first modern American fighter aircraft introduced into frontline service with the USAAC. It was developed in response to rapid changes in global military aviation during the second half of the 1930s and marked a clear departure from earlier biplane designs. Retractable landing gear, an enclosed cockpit, and an all-metal airframe made it the starting point for subsequent generations of American fighter aircraft.

The P-36C version represented the final stage of development of the design and was produced in a very limited run. The final thirty aircraft were completed to a new standard, featuring the Pratt &amp; Whitney R-1830-17 engine rated at 1,200 hp and reinforced armament. Aircraft of this version received additional 0.30-calibre machine guns in the wings, with distinctive external ammunition boxes mounted beneath the wing panels, becoming one of the most easily recognisable features of the P-36C.

The small number of aircraft produced meant that P-36Cs did not form separate, uniform units but were instead dispersed among squadrons operating primarily earlier P-36A aircraft. Their largest concentration was within the 27th Pursuit Squadron, which became a natural base for operational trials and testing of new solutions, including camouflage schemes.

It was the aircraft of the 27th Pursuit Squadron that played a key role in experimental camouflage programmes conducted in 1939. The culmination of these efforts was the participation of P-36Cs in the National Air Races held in September 1939 in Cleveland, Ohio. The aircraft displayed there attracted attention with bold, high-contrast and often temporary camouflage schemes, applied without uniform guidelines and treated as a testing ground for future standards.

As a result, the Curtiss P-36C entered history as one of the most ambiguous and visually diverse Hawk variants. The short production run, dispersal among units and intensive testing meant that nearly every aircraft differed in equipment details and external appearance, making this version particularly attractive to researchers and modelers interested in the transitional period in the development of American fighter.

<description>Messerschmitt Me-262A-1a “White 3” (W.Nr. 500071)
 
This Me 262 was assembled in late March 1945 at the Messerschmitt-Obertraubling plant and assigned to III./JG 7.

On 25 April 1945, it took off from the Munich area, flown by 23-year-old Hans Guido Mutke from Neisse (Nysa). Due to a lack of fuel, the aircraft made an emergency landing at the neutral Zürich-Dübendorf airfield, where it was interned.
 
The aircraft was returned to Germany in 1957 and is now on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, preserved as one of the best surviving Me 262 examples.
 
Mutke is also associated with another remarkable flight — on 9 April 1945, during a steep dive, he may have briefly exceeded the speed of sound. If so, he would have been the first pilot to survive a supersonic flight.

The Me 262 A-1a 1/72 kit will include three marking options: two wartime and one post-war scheme. Detailed information will be shared shortly after Sunday.

<description>Bell P-400 Airacobra Plastic model kit of the P-400 Airacobra fighter aircraft in 1/48 scale – a highly detailed replica of the export variant of the iconic American Bell P-39. The P-400 gained fame in early Pacific battles and later in Soviet service during World War II.

Kit includes:

high-quality plastic sprues,
painting masks for canopy and wheels,
decal sheet with three historical USAAF marking options,
steel nose weight balls for proper balance.
Marking and painting options:

P-400 Airacobra “White 19”, AH736, 80th Fighter Squadron / 8th Fighter Group – Turnbull Airstrip, Milne Bay, 1942.
P-400 Airacobra “White 13” “Wahl Eye”, 39th FS / 35th FG – Lt. Eugene A. Wahl, Port Moresby, New Guinea, Summer 1942.
P-400 Airacobra “White 13” “Hells Bell”, BW151, 67th FS / 347th FG – Lt. Robert M. Ferguson, Guadalcanal, August–November 1942.
About the P-400 Airacobra:
The P-400 was the export version of the Bell P-39 Airacobra – one of the most innovative fighter designs of WWII. Key features included:

tricycle landing gear,
centrally mounted engine,
20 mm nose cannon (instead of the standard 37 mm),
six exhaust stacks on each side of the fuselage.
Originally ordered by the British and French before the US entered the war, the aircraft proved underpowered for European air combat and was quickly withdrawn from RAF service. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, many of these fighters were requisitioned by the US Army Air Forces and sent to the South Pacific, often still bearing British camouflage and serials. Others served in North Africa or were later transferred to the USSR under Lend-Lease, where the Airacobra achieved exceptional combat success at low altitude.

The P-400 played a key role in early Pacific operations, notably during the campaigns in New Guinea and Guadalcanal.. Price:&amp;pound;33.33</description>

<description>North-American P-51B Mustang™ China/Burma/India, plastic kit 1/72 scale.

Kit includes:

Aeroplane plastic parts (2 grey sprues, 1 clear sprue)
Plastic parts – additional armament (1 grey sprue)
Canopy and wheels painting mask
Decals with 3 marking options
Marking options:

P-51 B-15-NA Mustang, pilot: Cpt. B.H. “Butch” Ashmore, 26th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Group, Kunming, China 1944
P-51 B-10-NA Mustang, 529th Fighter Squadron, 311th Fighter Group, pilot: Lt. Wilbert McEvoy, Burma, summer 1944
P-51 B-7-NA Mustang, “JEANNE III” Cpt. Burton N. Rodier, 26th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Group, China 1944
Known for their fights over Europe in the Allied air forces, the Mustangs were first and foremost purebred fighters that successfully escorted the ‘Flying Fortresses’ raids against the Reich and brought the German Luftwaffe to its ultimate doom. No less important and interesting, however, were the battles against the Japanese in which Mustangs took part in areas including China and Burma.

In the so-called CBI Theatre (China-Burma-India), the way aviation was used was very different from Europe. Instead of large strategic air strikes, tactical operations consisting of supporting ground troops, defending them from enemy aviation, attacking ground targets and reconnaissance predominated. In such a role, too, the fast and powerful Mustang proved itself admirably, thanks to its high payload, becoming an effective assault and even dive bomber, armed with a variety of bombs and rockets, able to operate safely without an escort!

Designed in the USA to British order, the North-American P-51 Mustang aircraft was initially produced with the USA-made Allison engine, tuned for low altitude. Already this version was a success and went into service not only with the RAF, but also with the US Air Force. These aircraft performed best as reconnaissance and attack planes, at high altitudes they lacked power. The problem was solved by the use of the legendary British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which, manufactured under licence by Packard, made the Mustang the best fighter of World War II. Mass production of the new version of the Mustang was carried out at North-American plants in California under the designation P-51B-NA and in Texas as P-51C-NT. A total of 3738 B and C version aircraft were built. Some 900 of these, under the designation Mustang Mk III, were transferred to the RAF and to the Polish Air Force, RAAF, RCAF and Free French. Introduced into service in late 1943, they were gradually replaced by aircraft of the new P-51D/K version from mid-1944.. Price:&amp;pound;20.82</description>

Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb trop fighter-bomber aeroplane

Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb trop is an adaptation of the famous fighter-bomber aircraft designed to operate in difficult climates. Despite the name, &quot;tropical&quot; Hurricanes were used not only over jungles and deserts but also in the Soviet Arctic.

Popularly called the &quot;Hurribomber&quot;, Hurricane Mk IIb is a development of the famous fighter designed by Sydney Camm, equipped with a more powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engine with a two-stage supercharger and additional 4 machine guns in the wings (12 in total). This significantly improved the aircraft&#039;s performance, but the small-caliber armament was already insufficient at this stage of the war, so most Hurricanes of this version were used as bombing planes. In the USSR, they were further improved by installing larger caliber weapons.

Over time, it turned out that the plane loaded with additional weapons, despite a more powerful engine, no longer met the requirements for modern fighters. Together with the cannon-armed Hurricane Mk IIc, these aircraft were used to attack ground targets with gunfire and bombing. Thanks to installing a dust filter, the &quot;trop&quot; version was also created, intended for operations in difficult climates. Mk IIb and c aircraft equipped in this way took an effective part in combat in Africa, the Far East and the Soviet Arctic. A naval version with an arrester hook for landing on aircraft carriers was also created.. Price:&amp;pound;41.66</description>

he legendary P-51 Mustang was an excellent fighter, but it also proved to be a universal photo-
reconnaissance plane. Its performance: speed, ceiling, armament, and great range meant that it 
could efficiently reach a distant target, photograph it and safely return to the base. To become a long-
range aerial spy, the Mustang, unlike, for example, the Spitfire, required only the installation of 
photographic equipment.
The reconnaissance Mustang F-6C was a modification of the P-51B/P-51C fighter. Most of the F-6Cs were 
built at the North-American factories in Dallas and differed from the fighters produced there mainly in
the openings for installing a camera. Photo equipment was installed at modification centers in Love 
Field and Kansas City. 230 serial F-6Cs were produced this way. In addition, more than 50 P-51B/P-51C 
fighters were converted into reconnaissance planes in overseas depots and combat units. The 
reconnaissance Mustangs performed well both for high-altitude missions with a vertical camera and 
for low-level tactical reconnaissance using an oblique camera. Their armament also allowed them to ?
engage in equal combat with enemy planes. They were used by the US Army and Allied Air Force in 
European, Mediterranean, and Far East theatres of operations.. Price:&amp;pound;24.99</description>
