Bristol M.1C "Checkers & Stripes" Kit contains the same plastic parts as Bristol M.1C "Wartime Colours" but offers different decals, this time for three trainers. What they lack on the combat fame thay catch up with attractive camouflages. You can choose from checkers or stripes; if this is still not your cup of coffee you can pick a machine with a fancy dragon art painting. One of the machines is presented in two different ap...
I.A.R. IAR-81 BoPi In the late 1930s, the Polish PZL P.11 and P.24 all-metal, high wing fighter planes were produced under licence by I.A.R., Industria Aeronautica Romana. As it was quite clear that such type of design was nearing obsolescence and the future belonged to low wing fighters with retractable undercarriage and enclosed canopy, a design team led by Ion Grosu was formed with the aim to project a modern warplane of su...
Westland Whirlwind FB Mk.I 'Fighter-Bomber' Hi-Tech version.
Not long before the outbreak of WW2, the British Air Ministry issued a requirement calling for two types of fighter aircraft, one light weight with machine gun armament and the other one with heavy cannon armament. To these requirements, the machine gun armed Hurricanes and Spitfires were designed, while to fit the second category, the Westland offered their Whirlwi...
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XII The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XII was a less widespread version of this famous fighter mainly due to the low amount of aircraft produced. Nevertheless, for the Supermarine Spitfire development it is one of the most important versions. It was the first Griffon powered production version. The production had started in October 1942 when some of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX (originally Mk.V) and Mk.VIII...

RE-RELEASED!!! Blackburn Skua Mk.II In 1934, the Air Ministry issued specifications O.27/34. They contained requirements for a multi-role aircraft for shipboard service. The aircraft was to be operated as a fighter as well as a dive bomber. A fighter for aircraft carriers in the British concept of the time was a two-seater aircraft designed for long operational flights and combat with enemy reconnaissance aircraft. Combat agai...
RE-RELEASED!!! Blackburn Roc Mk.I To fulfill Specification O.35/35, calling for a two seat carrier borne fighter, the Air Ministry ordered this type of aircraft from Blackburn Aircraft Ltd. in 1935.

The Fairey Battle was ordered by the British Air Ministry to replace the Hawker Hart biplanes. It was one of the first modern low-wing aircraft to enter service with the RAF that began receiving the Battle in 1937. The Battle was elegant and pleasant to fly, but it was underpowered. One Merlin engine alone was simply lacking power for such a large aircraft. This was clear even befo...
Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.21 "Contraprop" The first version of the Spitfire that had completely redesigned wing was the Spitfire Mk.21.
The changes in its construction were so important that a new name Victor had been also considered. Design work on this plane were commenced in 1942 and in the beginning of 1945 the first production aircraft were issued to No.91sqn. After the war, the Spitfire Mk.21 enjoyed rather long peace-t...

Supermarine Seafire FR MK.47 'The Last Royal Navy Propeller Fighter' 1/72
The final Spitfire versions, i.e. the Mk.21, 22 and 24, sometimes also called the second generation Spitfires, had corresponding navalized counterparts in the Seafire Mk.45, 46 or 47 versions. The Mk.47 Seafire was most similar to the Spitfire 24 type, its airframe was considerably modified though. The arresting hook was a necessity of course, in this c...

The first generation of Mosquitos were powered by Merlin engines with single-stage ...

Expected late June! AT-6 Texan 'Little Warrior' 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',...
CAC CA.13 Boomerang 'Australian Emergency Fighter'. The Boomerang was the only indigenous Australian fighter aircraft to see action in World War II. The Boomerangs defended Australia and were used in New Guinea and other islands.
