The Italian company Caproni began producing the light twin-engine bomber Ca.310 and the more powerful Ca.311 for the Italian Air Force in the late 1930s. These also attracted foreign customers. Belgium ordered the Ca.310 and Norway the Ca.311, but with more powerful engines. Caproni first offered Belgium the Ca.312 Belge, built on the basis of the Ca.310, but the production machines were to be built for both countries on the basis of the Ca.311. They were to differ in the design of the nose section. The Belgian machines were to have a stepped nose while the Norwegian ones a smooth shaped nose in the He 111 style. In contrast to the Ca.311, they had massive engine cowlings, three-bladed propellers and modified landing gear. Caproni managed to build two Ca.312s by the time Belgium and Norway had been occupied by the German Wehrmacht and both orders were cancelled. The unfinished batch of 24 was taken over by the Italian Regia Aeronautica. They were operated in the transport role in Italy, Africa and on the Eastern Front. Two machines were used as ambulances on the Eastern Front and flew white overall with red cross markings. The plastic mouldings are completed with a combination of 3D printed parts, resin parts and etchings of the new engines, the cowlings, landing gear parts and interior. The decals offer a Norwegian prototype option with a smooth nose and three Italian machines with stepped noses. Two are camouflaged, one from Italy, the second from Africa and the third, white, flew as an ambulance in the Caucasus area..

In the early 1930s, the air was dominated by fabric-covered biplanes and then suddenly an all-metal monoplane appeared, with closed crew cockpits and cowled engines. Those new bombers were not only faster than other competing bombers, they were also faster then the fighter planes of the day. This meant the need for new, changed fighter plane design worldwide. The Model 139 also earned export success. The bombers were delivered to militaries of several countries, among which was also Dutch East Indies that got two versions, the WH-1 and WH-2 differing in versions of their R-1820 power plants and the type of the cowlings. This model kit portrays the first version, the WH-1 equipped with R-1820-F53 radials. The colour schemes and decals cover three blue and yellow machines of the ML-KNIL (Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force), two of which with segmented roundels, the third with the orange triangles instead of roundels, and the fourth machine is a Thai Air Force WH-1. Thailand placed order for these bombers before the outbreak of the war plus also bought some more which were originally Dutch machines later captured by the Japanese. This fourth machine also has quite interesting colour scheme as through the Japano-Thai camouflage slightly peels off showing the underlaying Dutch yellow and blue scheme. - excellent model kit of an revolutionary aircraft - the WH-1 version has never been released in styrene format before - interesting colour schemes and markings - pre-cut masks, sold separately, also offered for this model kit.

Initially, the RAF was unable to intervene against them, until the high-altitude versions of the Spitfire Mk.VII and the modified Spitfire Mk.IX brought about a turning point. The threat that the Luftwaffe would deploy more powerful bombers led to the development of a high-altitude fighter version of the Mosquito. This version had a pressurized cockpit, a radar in the nose, an extended wing with a span of 19 meters, high-altitude engines Merlin 76 with four-blade propellers. A small batch of ‘fifteens’ were produced and assigned to No.85 Sqn. RAF for testing. The detailed kit offers decals for two machines, one in PRU Blue and the other in Deep Blue. - Mosquito NF Mk.XV has never been released in styrene format before - eye-catching and unique version - offers nice surface detail levels.

De Havilland had produced the type for civilian customers until 1940, when it switched to military production. The civilian machines were confiscated for the needs of the RAF. These were used in the utility and liaisons role. The Moth Minor was designed with open cockpits. For more wealthy customers, the De Havilland company prepared a Coupé version with a closed cabin for two people. The first airframes were built during the war, other machines were built and also converted from Moth Minors with open cockpits. As tourist and sports, these Moth Minors flew until the 1970s, when their technical service life ended. However, several have undergone general repairs and are still flying today. The Moth Minor kit consists of two sprues of plastic parts and a single sprue with a clear canopy. The decals feature three colourful civilian aircraft flying in the British Isles and one aircraft flying in New Zealand. - nicely detailed and yet very easily assembled - attractive schemes and decals.

The De Havilland company stopped its production in Britain and moved it to Australia, where it was restarted for the needs of the RAAF. British-made aircraft were flown by private owners and in flying clubs. After the outbreak of the war, civil flying was restricted and the Moth Minors were used as training or liaison aircraft. One, originally an Egyptian machine, served as a liaison aircraft for the USAAF in Egypt in 1942. After the war, Moth Minors were flown in civil hands until the 1970s, participating in many events and races. Some, after overhauls, still keep flying today. The kit offers parts arranged on two sprues, joined with injection-moulded windshields. Decals include the USAAF DH.94 ‘Sand Fly’ from Egypt, the British G-AFTH in two forms, in yellow with RAF markings and camouflaged as it served as a liaison aircraft during the war. Civilian DH.94s are represented by G-AFOZ and G-AFPN, the former in cream scheme, the latter silver overall, both with colourful trim and start numbers..

Dassault _Mirage F.1CT The Mirage F.1 owes its creation to a private initiative by Dassault. The Armée de l Air ordered the construction of two prototypes designated Mirage F.2 and F.3 with JTF10 engines. However, Dassault built another prototype with smaller dimensions and an Atar 9K engine at its own expense. This prototype, which flew for the first time on 23 December 1966, was selected and the production machines were introduced into the Armée de l'Air's inventory as the Mirage F.1C single-seat fighter and the Mirage F.1B two-seat trainer fighter. During the service, some Mirage F.1 machines were modified by attaching an IFR probe to the Mirage F.1C-200 version. The French Air Force also used two reconnaissance versions, the Mirage F. 1CR and the Mirage F.1CT converted from the Mirage F.1-200. The Armée de l'Air received a total of 246 of all Mirage F.1 versions. The Mirage F.1 also became a successful export item. In Europe, it was operated by Spain and Greece. In South America, Ecuador was the only operator, while in Africa and Asia, the Mirage F.1 flew in Gabon, South Africa, Morocco, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait. As a result, the Mirage F.1 was involved in many conflicts around the world, from mock duels between Greek fighters and Turkish opponents, through French actions in Chad, Ecuadorian border conflicts with Peru, battles between South African Mirages against Cuban aircraft from Angola, to participation in the war against Iraq, where Mirage F.1s were flown on both sides. Even today, the Mirage F.1 is in service with several countries. The Mirage F.1CT version flew only within the Armée de l Air and was intended for ground attacks. This was made possible by modified electronics, a laser rangefinder and other equipment. Outside France, Mirage F.1CTs were deployed in Chad or over Kosovo. The last Mirage F.1CTs were retired in 2012. Compared to previous models, this model has one more sprue. A sprue with parts typical for the CT and CR versions has been added, including the Corail decoy launchers. The decals offer four French machines, each from a different unit. Two machines flew in France, one was deployed in Chad and one in Kosovo. - the very best kit of the Mirage F.1 in 72nd scale - wide range of our accessory sets, from pilot seats to various figures - interesting colour schemes.

Its operational use was not entirely successful, but the Heinkel He 177 is still an iconic aircraft. Its concept is unique. In each wing, two engines were placed side by side with a drive to a common gearbox. This turned a four-bladed propeller. The bomber thus looked like having only a pair of engines. We have already offered the Heinkel He 177 kit earlier. Now we are returning it to the offer with redesigned small parts. These are now made from metal moulds, originally the kit was all short-run. The decals offer markings for two Luftwaffe machines, first one of which took part in the Operation Steinbock, Luftwaffe’s bombing offensive against Great Britain. The operation was launched in the spring of 1944 and caused more losses than gains for which the British mockingly called the offensive Baby Blitz. The other scheme option of the kit set features a machine with yellow trim and in two differing forms. It is a mostly new kit, with just a couple of the original pieces, the rest is brand new. - the only 1/48 model kit portraying the He 177 aeroplane - new metal tooling parts accompanying the original ones - photo etches, 3D printed parts and resin cast parts included in the box - also available for this kit are more resin detail parts and pre-cut set of masks.

Heinkel He-178V-2 The He 178 V1 first jet aircraft was rebuilt to a He 178 V-2 version during the trials. The new plane was equipped with a bigger span wing and a retractable undercarriage. However, due to Luftwaffe's command shortsighted decision not to continue with the development of weapons that could not assist in immediate victory in the war, the aircraft's development was put to halt and the plane was handed over to aviation museum in Berlin and was totaly destroyed in 1943 during an Allied air ride. The model of this second version of the first jet plane was also sold out a couple of years ago. Now it is getting back to our production together with the model of the first prototype. The model consists of two grey plastic sprues, clear injected canopy and two resin undercarriage bay parts. (SHBIS318).
