After the fall of France in 1940, the two great air arms of the day, Great Britain's RAF and Germany's Luftwaffe, faced each other in large numbers for the first time. The spearhead of the Luftwaffe was the Messerschmitt Bf109E. A formidable fighting machine, it had proved itself to be world class throughout its previous campaigns. Over southern England, in the summer of 1940, it faced a new set of challenges. The most serious for the German pilots being the widespread use of the RAF's finest fighter, the Supermarine Spitfre. More manoeuvrable than the 109E, the Spitfire was the finest fighter of its day. This set contains two aircraft flown by aces. Helmut Wick and John Dundas. Neither survived their fateful engagement on 28th November 1940.Contents: 8x Acrylic Paints, 2 x Brushes, Poly Cement.

The De Havilland was the second jet fighter to enter RAF service, coming after the Gloster Meteor. Featuring a twin boom fusalage, which was to become a common feature of De Havilland designs, the Vampire proved a capable early jet fighter. The Vampire T.11 trainer was developed from the fighter versions and served the RAF until 1967. It was an excellent trainer and examples continue to fly today both in the UK and further afield.

With is reputation as an exceptional air observation post aircraft possessing great short field performance, when officials behind the 1956 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition were looking for a suitable reconnaissance and support aircraft, they knew exactly where to turn.
The Auster Aircraft Company were asked to modify two of their dual control T.7 aircraft specifically for the task, featuring additional radio equipment, larger tail surfaces and the ability to be fitted with either floats or skies as operations demanded.
The aircraft were also finished in a high visibility scheme, in preparation for the conditions expected during an expedition which was hoped would result in the first overland crossing of Antarctica via the South Pole.

An aircraft which possibly underlines the capabilities of the modern helicopter more effectively than any other type, the mighty Boeing CH-47 Chinook has already been in military service for over sixty years and shows no sign of disappearing from world skies any time soon. The distinctive tandem twin-rotor configuration of this heavy-lift helicopter cleverly counteracts the effects of engine torque by having each of its huge rotor blade stacks rotate in opposite directions, thus negating the need for the tail rotors traditionally associated with helicopters. The impressive Chinook made its first flight in 1961 and since then, it has become one of the most effective aircraft designs of the post-war era, capable of operating in almost any environment, no matter how inhospitable the terrain. Clearly, this has made the Chinook invaluable when performing many roles, ably tackling a multitude of military and civilian applications. As the world's largest operator of...

Ordered straight from the drawing board in 1935 the Bristol Type 142, later called the Blenheim was, for its time, a very advanced aircraft but by the outbreak of the Second World War it had been overtaken by fighter development. Seeing service across all the major fronts of the Second World War, the Blenheim was used extensively by the RAF as both a light bomber and fighter before being phased out of service in 1943, replaced by more modern types less vulnerable to enemy fighters.

One of the most rugged aircraft ever built, the DHC Beaver was designed to operate in the vast and often inhospitable expanses of the Canadian north and was able to fly into areas where other aircraft simply could not go. With the ability to operate using wheels, skis or floats, the Beaver possessed outstanding STOL capabilities and was specifically designed around the requirements of bush pilots working in these challenging conditions. Also described in many aviation sources as the safest aircraft ever built, the Beaver was also used by many air arms across the world, including Britain's Army Air Corps, who operated 46 of these magnificent aircraft. They were used to great effect as reconnaissance/intelligence gathering aircraft in Northern Ireland during the 1970s and 80s.

Without question, the de Havilland Mosquito qualifies as one of the finist fighting aeroplanes of the Second World War and one which could claim to be the envy of every other air force, particularly the Luftwaffe, who tried, but never quite managed to produce an equivalent aircraft. A true multi-role aircraft, the Mosquito's famous nickname "The Wooden Wonder" referenced the facdt that this hugely successful British aircraft was constructed using "non-strategic" materials and employed a clever system of balsa and hirch plywood lamination, which gave the aircraft great strength.

Undoubtedly one of the most spectacular products of the post-war British aviation industry, the distinctive Fairey Rotodyne was a revolutionary large compound gyroplane which held great promise for both worldwide inter-city medium air transportation, in addition to possessing numerous military applications during the late 1950s.
The impressive looking Rotodyne featured jet powered main rotor tips which operated during vertical take-off and landing, hovering and transitioning to forward flight, before a pair of Napier Eland turboprops were engaged for forward flight.
Despite successfully completing over 350 test flights, just a single prototype aircraft would be built, before the withdrawal of government funding tragically consigned the Fairey Rotodyne to the aviation history books.

Developed as a very small, lightweight, manoeuvable fighter, in an erra where fighter designs seemed to be on an inexoroble rise in size, the Folland Gnat found instead, fame and service with the RAF as a jet trainer. A tiny aircraft in comparison to its contemporaries, the Gnat was used as the mount of a number of aerobatic teams, from the Yellow Jacks to the Red Arrows. Serving until 1979, the Gnat proved to be a capable and much loved trainer.

Considered revolutionary in 1935, by the start of WWII the earliest versions of The Hurricane with fabric covered wings and two bladed propellers had fallen behind the performance of the best German fighters. Nevertheless, once fitted with 3-blade propellers, these early Hurricanes were very successful during the Battle of Britian in 1940.
You can now bring home the legacy of the Hurricane Mk.I today for your Airfix collection! Featuring sprues and decals as well as measuring 133mm in length, this must-have aircraft awaits for you to make a fitting part of your airfix or military range.

The Hawker P.1127 was the first British development aircraft that led to the BAE Harrier, the first vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) jet fighter-bomber. Development began in 1957, using the specially developed Bristol Pegasus vectored thrust engine. By the end of 1960, the aircraft had achieved vertical take-off, handing and the transition to horizontal flight.

An aircraft that is undoubtedly one of the most significant in the history of aviation, the Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 was developed from the Hawker P.1127 experimental aircraft produced to test the possibilities of V/STOL vectored thrust flight. These aircraft would successfully master the transition from hovering to forward flight and back to the hover, despite several of the development aircraft suffering accidents during testing. The prospect of a viable V/STOL aircraft proved to be of great interest to both the British and US military, who funded further development of the aircraft. The new 'Jump Jet' was an instant hit with the British public, who marvelled at the ingenuity of their aviation industry, which was once again proving to be the envy of the world. As the consummate display performer, the Harrier was always a popular display item with Airshow crowds, with the two forming a bond which would last...

One of the finest aeroplanes of the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V could trace its design back to the Hurricane fighters. The plane entered Royal Air Force service in early 1944. Although this was still a big aeroplane for a single engined fighter, its airframe was light and it was powered by the massively powerful 24 cylinder Napier Sobre engine, giving the new fighter spectacular performance.
Making its first flight on 2nd September 1942, the Hawker Tempest featured a newly designed laminar flow wing, much thinner than the wing used on its predecessor, allowing the new fighter to slip through the air at incredible speed.

The prototype Bf109A first flew in 1935. The later E Model was more powerful and better armed and by the summer of 1940, over 500 were in service for the offensive against Great Britain. By this time the 109E had already proved to be a competent, if not the world's best, fighter aircraft in the skies above Poland, France and the low countries. However, over England it met its match and was shown to be inferior to the RAF's Spitfire.
