<description>Junkers Ju-87D-1/3 Stuka ‘Combat &amp; Captured’ For the Luftwaffe, the Junkers Ju 87B/R Stuka was a very important and extensively used aircraft. With the increasing strength of the enemy air forces and the urgent need for Stukas, it was necessary to modernize this aircraft. Therefore, the Ju 87D version entered production. It was aerodynamically modified and received a more powerful version of the Jumo 211 engine. The Ju 87D-3 version used a standard-span wing, and from the Ju 87D-5 version on, a wing with an extended span was installed. The Ju 87D was used by the Luftwaffe in Africa, the Mediterranean and on the Eastern Front. The air forces of the German allies, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia, also included this aircraft in their armament. With the growing strength of the anti-Nazi alliance, some Ju 87Ds fell into the hands of British and American units.
 We have prepared the Junkers Ju 87D-3 based on the Ju 87G-1 model from Academy, which we supplemented with our own styrene sprue with conversion and correction parts of the Ju 87D version, etches and in this case also 3D-printed parts of the siren propellers. The decals offer an Italian machine operating in southern Italy, a Luftwaffe machine operating in winter scheme on the Eastern Front and two interesting captured machines from Africa. One was operated by No.601 sqn. RAF and the other by the USAAF.
- also available for this model are the following: 3D-printed set with the rear gunner&#039;s seat and gun P72002, spray masks M72038 and pilot and gunner figures F72377
- limited batch
- interesting colour schemes
- the kit also contains etches and 3D-printed parts

<description>Bücker Bü-181B / Sk 25 Bestmann. The Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann was chosen in 1939 as the standard Luftwaffe trainer aircraft. It saw service as a trainer throughout the war and at its end the type also saw combat use as a light bomber or tank-busting aircraft. Due to this and also to Swedish license and post-war Czechoslovak and Egyptian production, the type achieved considerable expansion and fame. Most Bückers flew well into the 1950s and some still fly as veterans today.
 We offered the kit of this interesting aircraft under the catalog number SH48120. However, the kit was sold out and the fuselage tooling was damaged during the re-molding. As a result, the kit was not available for a long time. It also took a long time because we made not only a new fuselage mould from modified 3D files, but also another shape with different engine variants. These versions will be available for sale gradually. Now we offer you the kit SH48173 with decals for Luftwaffe and Swedish Flygvapnet aircraft. The parts are broken down into four sprues of grey plastic and one sprue of clear parts. The kit also includes photo-etched parts and 3D prints. The decals include two Luftwaffe training aircraft and one very colourful Swedish licensed Sk 25.
- the kit contains a fret of etches and 3D printed parts
- interesting colour schemes. Price:&amp;pound;16.25</description>

<description>Focke-Wulf Fw-189A ‘Owls over the Eastern Front’ In 1937, the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium) issued specifications for a new Luftwaffe reconnaissance aircraft. The companies Blohm Voss with their asymmetric BV 141, Arado with the single-engine Ar 198 and Focke Wulf with the Fw 189 project participated in the competition. The winner was the Focke Wulf.
Like the BV 141, the Fw 189 stood out with an unusual technical solution. Chief designer Kurt Tank designed the aircraft with a central fuselage nacelle and two tailplane booms from the engine nacelles. This provided the crew of three with excellent visibility. The prototype flew for the first time in July 1938 and the pre-series Fw 189 A-0s were delivered in September 1940. Production continued with the first series version of the Fw 189A-1. It was produced at the Focke Wulf factory in Bremen, where production was soon halted due to the production of the Fw 190. From March 1941, the Prague Aero factory supplied the Fw 189 (production ceased in 1943). Other Fw 189s were produced until 1944 in French factories in Bordeaux-Mérignac. In the second half of 1941, the A-1 version was replaced on the production lines by the A-2 version with more powerful armament. A small series of training and liaison versions B was also built, differing in the shape of the fuselage nacelle and other details. A ground attack version, designated Fw 189C, was tested in prototypes; the first prototype Fw 189V1 crashed, and even the modified prototype Fw 189V-6 did not convince.
 The vast majority of Fw 189 aircraft served on the Eastern Front. The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 A proved to be capable of handling from unpaved airfields, with excellent maneuverability and reliability. Several Fw-189A-1s were even fitted with the FuG-212 Lichtenstein C-1 radar and an oblique cannon and used as night fighters in Romania in 1944. The Fw 189 also saw service with the Slovak, Hungarian and Romanian air forces.
Kit Fw 189A-1 SH72546 includes three plastic parts sprues, a clear parts sprue and 3D printed parts. The decals feature two German aircraft, one captured Soviet aircraft and one Norwegian aircraft. This originally German aircraft from the Eastern Front flew to Norway just before the end of the war and was used by the Norwegian air force after the war.
- model kit of an unusually looking machine
- interesting colour schemes. Price:&amp;pound;16.66</description>

<description>Caproni Ca.312 ‘Italian Export Bomber’. 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.. Price:&amp;pound;19.87</description>

<description>North-American AT-6 Texan ‘Little Warrior’ HI-TECH KIT! The AT-6 Texan/Harvard was used mainly for training during World War II. However, North American already anticipated during its design that some operators would use the Texan as a combat aircraft. After World War II, it became clear that the Texan was excellent for counter-guerrilla warfare and also in the FAC (Forward Air Control) role. Squadrons of Texans, nicknamed ‘Mosquito’, were used by the USAF in the Korean War. European countries such as France, Spain, Britain and Portugal used armed Texans in colonial or anti-communist conflicts in Africa. Texans fought against the communists in Greece. They were used in the first Israeli-Arab wars, on both sides. Texans were also used in combat in South America in many conflicts, uprisings and revolutions.
 The kit offers Academy AT-6 mouldings, complete with our new tooled, injection-moulded canopies for various versions. The kit also includes 3D printed, resin and etched parts of the undercarriage for the Texans of various air forces. Decals include two USAF aircraft from the Korean War, a French aircraft from Algeria with a painted on beast mouth on the fuselage, a Spanish Texan armed with machine guns in the wing, a Syrian aircraft whose gunner shot down an S-199 fighter and finally an IAF Harvard..

<description>de Havilland DH.94 Moth Minor ‘In war and peace over Europe and Africa’ 1/72
 The production of the sports and touring DH.94 Moth Minor monoplane was interrupted by World War II. 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.. Price:&amp;pound;10.50</description>

<description>Heinkel He-177A-3 &#039;Greif&#039; The Heinkel He 177 Greif was the only German four-engine bomber deployed in larger numbers during World War II. 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. Price:&amp;pound;69.00</description>

<description>Saab JA-37 Viggen The SAAB 37 Viggen was an aircraft ahead of its time. The unorthodox solutions chosen by its designers not only allowed the Viggen to meet the requirements placed on it, but in some parameters to surpass them. The Swedish Air Force ordered the Viggen in several versions, with the basic design of the aircraft forming a universal platform that, supplemented with special equipment, enabled use in several roles. The propulsion was provided by a Volvo RM8 engine, a licensed civilian Pratt &amp; Whitney JT8D engine with afterburner and thrust reversers. This, as well as the concept of double delta wings, contributed to the Viggen&#039;s excellent performance during takeoffs and landings on short airstrips. For better handling of the aircraft after landing, storage in hangars or better camouflage during operations from non-standard areas, the Viggen was given a folding fin. The electronic equipment was one of the best in the world at the time. The Viggen was the first aircraft with a built-in integrated circuit computer. The AJ 37 Viggen variety was the first one to enter service with the Swedish Air Force, followed by the SK 37 - a two-seat fighter trainer, the SF 37 - a reconnaissance version with photographic equipment in a modified nose, and the SH-37 - an anti-ship version with different electronic equipment and anti-ship armament. About ten years after the first version had been introduced, the second generation of the Viggen, the JA 37 fighter version, was produced.
We now offer you a reissue of the second generation Viggen fighter with an extended fuselage and a more powerful engine. The kit contains eight sprues of plastic parts, a sprue of clear parts, full-colour instructions and decals.
 
- highly accurate and detailed model, the best in 1/72
- decals for three machines including an anniversary one with a red fin decorated with a drawing of a rider
- wide variety of detail sets available, masks and figures with a ladder. Price:&amp;pound;24.00</description>

<description>Curtiss P-40M Warhawk The Warhawk was a true hero and a workhorse of the Second World War. Its many various versions fought in Allied air forces over almost all fronts and theatres of operations. The M version was the penultimate production version and was delivered both to the USAAF and the Allies. And this is the very reason there is so many interesting-looking colour schemes which the M Warhawks wore during their flying career. 
 Our model has been kitted to a very high standard, three styrene sprues and one clear are joined by a decal sheet offering markings for four machines. You will find the almost mandatory Wairarapa Wildcat of the RNZAF top ace pilot G.B.Fisken, then there are two US machines and one as flown by an Aussie pilot. Quite difficult to chose just one from all these &#039;Pacific Warriors&#039;, we believe.

- Interesting paint schemes
- The best 1/72 P-40 currently available
- Large number of resin sets and painting masks available separately (Special Hobby sold out November 2023). Price:&amp;pound;14.16</description>
