617 Squadron, RAF, "The Dambusters" was a

Lancaster bomber, converted to carry the Barnes Wallis
designed "bouncing bomb", the Guy Gibson led squadron
destroyed the Mohne and Eder dams. The set not only

Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a / Messerchmitt Bf109E-4 Gift Set - 1:76 (A50135)
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 proven
itself to be world class throughout its previous
campaigns. However, over southern England in the summer
of 1940, it faced a new set of challenges. The most
serious test for the Luftwaffe pilots was the widespread
use of the RAF’s finest fighter, the Supermarine
Spitfire. 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.

Airfix - Spitfire F22 - 1:72 (A02033)
The F22 Spitfire was about as sophisticated as the
post-war Spitfires were to get. It differed from the
final variant, the Mk22, in only minor respects, but
used the same massive Griffon engine delivering well
over 2,200hp and which dictated the enlarged tail
control surfaces introduced with the Mk 21. The
redesigned wing was a distinctive feature of the type
which performed well until eventually being outclassed
by the first jet fighters.

The 20mm cannon armed MkIIc also included
a hardpoint for a 500 lb or 250 lb bomb, and later in
1941, fuel tanks. By then performance was inferior to
the latest German fighters, and the Hurricane changed to
the ground-attack role. The mark also served as a night
fighter and "intruder."

Airfix - Hawker Tempest V - 1:72 (A02094)
After a brief period operating over
France in the week after D-Day, the Tempest Wing was
withdrawn to deal with the V-1 Flying Bomb. The Tempest
was judged to have the best chance of catching this new
weapon, capable of matching its speed at low level.
Between June and August 1944, Tempest pilots claimed 800
of the 1,771 V-1s shot down by the RAF, 638 of them by
the Newchurch Wing alone.

Airfix - Fairey Battle - 1:72 (A03032)
During the period at the start of the war
when Poland was under attack, the Battle was used to fly
reconnaissance missions over the German front line in
the West. It was during one of these missions, on 20
September 1939, that a Fairey Battle of No. 88 Squadron
shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109, giving the Battle the
honour of having achieved the first RAF kill of the war.
However, the phoney war period also saw the Battle
suffer significant losses, and once the Battle of France
commenced the losses became unacceptable, and the
aircraft was withdrawn, but not after two posthumous
Victoria Crosses were awarded to Flight Officer D.E.
Garland and his observer, Sgt. T. Gray.

at a disadvantage due to its short range. During the

Airfix - Focke Wulf Fw190D - 1:72
(A01064)
The Focke Wulf 190 was one of the
outstanding fighter aircraft of World War two with over
20,000 being manufactured. The Fw190 D were nicknamed
the "long-nosed Dora" because of the lengthened nose
that was an improvement from the A series.

Airfix - Junkers Ju87-B - 1:72
(A03030A)
Although sturdy, accurate, and very
effective, the Ju 87 was vulnerable to contemporary
fighter aircraft. Its flaws became apparent during the
Battle of Britain; poor manoeuvrability, lack of speed
and defensive armament meant that the Stuka required a
fighter escort to operate effectively. The Stuka
operated with further success after the Battle of
Britain, and its potency as a precision ground-attack
aircraft became valuable to the German war effort.

The Blohm & Voss BV 141 was a World War
II German tactical reconnaissance aircraft prototype.
It is best remembered as the most asymmetrical aircraft
to have ever flown. Had the design not been
disliked by most of the Luftwaffe hierarchy then more of
this successful type would have been built.

Airfix - Messerschmitt Bf110C-2/C-4 - 1:72 (A03080)
The Bf 110C was the first version of the
Bf 110 to be equipped with Daimler Benz engines. At the
altitudes it had to operate in order to protect the
bombers it would prove to be increasingly vulnerable to
British and later American fighter aircraft due to its
lack of manoeuvrability. The "D" version came with
additional fuel tanks for increased range.

Airfix - Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero - 1:72 (A55102)
The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a long range Naval fighter
aircraft that formed the backbone of the Imperial
Japanese Navy's Air Arm throughout the Second World War.
Blessed with exceptional manoeuvrability, as well as
long range, the Zero proved to be the best carrier
fighter aircraft in the World when it made its debut in
China in 1940, and then again in the opening stages of
the Pacific War against the United States. In the months
following Pearl Harbour the allies struggled to cope
with the Zero.

Airfix - Fairey Swordfish Mk.1 'Sink The Bismarck' - 1:72 (A50133)
At 19:25 on May 26th 1941, the Ark Royal launched its
Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers for an attack on the
German battleship Bismarck. In a final attack, almost in
darkness at 21:05, a hit by a single torpedo from a
Swordfish of 818 NAS (piloted by John Moffat) jammed
Bismarck’s rudder and steering gear. Now unable to
escape, Bismarck was sunk by HMS King George V and HMS
Rodney on the following day.

Airfix - Fairey Swordfish Mk.1 - 1:72 (A04053)
The Royal Navy's primary torpedo
bomber of the Second World War, the Swordfish, despite
its obsolescence, proved to be an effective
anti-submarine and torpedo bomber right up until the end
of hostilities in 1945. In fact, the Swordfish went on
to outlive its intended replacement, the Albacore, in
Royal Navy Service.
Involved in such famous actions as
the Taranto raid, the Bismarck operation and the Channel
Dash, the vulnerable but effective Swordfish firmly
cemented its place in aviation folklore. The Swordfish
remained operational until the end of the war, gaining
the distinction of being the last biplane to see active
service. The Airfix kit contains a folding wing option.

Airfix - Grumman Duck - 1:72 (A03031)
Used by every branch of the United

dependable utility floatplane. Deployed in a variety of
uses from air-sea rescue to anti-submarine patrols, the
Duck was to be found from the cold wastes of Alaska to
the heart of the South Pacific. Also exported, the Duck
found widespread use in South America, where its
strength and easy flight characteristics were much
appreciated. This tremendous utility aircraft was flown
by many countries well after the war ended.

Vought Kingfisher - 1:72 (A02021)
Conceived as a catapult launched
observation floatplane, the Vought Kingfisher was a
compact single engine monoplane, with one large single
float and two smaller floats under-wing to act as
stabilisers. Operated in the scout and air sea rescue
role, the Kingfisher proved to be a vital and excellent
tool in locating and rescuing downed airmen and marooned
sailors from the inhospitable waters of the Pacific
Ocean.
The Kingfisher was the US Navy’s
first catapult-launched monoplane observation floatplane
aircraft. It came in both float and land-based
configurations, and served as observer, anti-submarine,
and rescue aircraft. A total of 1519 Kingfisher were
built.

Aichi D3A1 Val - 1:72 (A02014)
The Val became the first aircraft to
drop bombs on American targets at Pearl Harbor. Six
squadrons of Vals participated in the attack, and
succeeded in doing extensive damage to the U.S.
battleships in the harbour.
The Val proved to be an accurate and
effective dive bomber in the opening stages of the
Pacific War. It was as maneuverable as many fighters and
proved this during dogfights with early allied Pacific
fighters such as Wildcats.
As allied fighter opposition
developed, the Val soon proved to be a vulnerable
opponent. Slow and poorly defended, the Val was obsolete
by 1943. It did continue to serve, seeing service later
as kamikaze weapon.

Korean War the Mustang once again proved its usefulness.
With the availability of F-51Ds a substantial number
were shipped via aircraft carriers to the combat zone
for use initially by both the Republic of Korea Air
Force (ROKAF) and USAAF. Rather than employing them as
interceptors or "pure" fighters, the F-51 became a
ground attack aircraft, fitted with rockets and bombs.

keeping up with the development of the Allied fighters,
particularly at high altitudes. It was liked by
Luftwaffe pilots as much as the Messerschmitt Bf109.

Revell - Hadley Page Halifax Mk1/11 - 1:72 (04670)
The Halifax was one of the most famous Royal Air Force
bombers of the 2nd World War II. Over 6170 aircraft of
all variants were built. It was mainly used by Bomber
Command on bombing missions over Europe. Other Halifax's
were used to drop secret agent's into enemy territory as
well as undertaking long distance maritime missions over
the Atlantic and the North Sea, during which they sank a
total of 43 enemy ships. Their active service began in
1941 with the RAF's Bomber Command as the second large 4
engine bomber. Although many problems were encountered
during its development and always being overshadowed by
the Lancaster, the Halifax continued to become the most
famous Allied bomber of the war. Decals for a
Halifax Mk II of Number 405 Squadron and a GR II of
Number 58 Squadron.

Revell - Fw200 C-4 Condor Bomber - 1:72 (04678)
The Fw200 C-4 was the main series production version of
this powerful reconnaissance bomber. It was the first
modern "Long Range Aircraft" in the world. The military
version was later named 'Scourge of the Atlantic' by
Winston Churchill. Based on a reconnaissance version of
the civil Fw200 built (but not delivered) to Japan,
these aircraft formed the basis of the newly formed
Kampfgeschwader 40 (Combat Wing 40). Finally in 1942 the
most prolific Fw 200, the C-4 appeared. It was used as a
long range reconnaissance aircraft and also as a bomber
against maritime targets. One of the Fw 200's main tasks
was to search for allied convoys and then transmit
tactical information to the German U-boats in order to
prepare for a possible attack.

Revell - B-17F Memphis Belle - 1:72 (04279)
During the Second World War the Boeing B-17 became a
synonym for the heavily armed strategic bomber. The
Boeing B-17F was also the first Flying Fortress to be
manufactured using mass production techniques. The most
famous aircraft in this series was a B-17F which was
delivered on 15th July 1942 and entered service with the
324th Bomber Squadron in England. Her crew named her the
"Memphis Belle" after the girl-friend of her pilot, Lt.
Robert K. Morgan. She became famous due to the fact that
she was officially recognised as the first U.S. Army Air
Force bomber to survive 25 missions in Europe and
subsequently became the star of a propaganda film made
in Hollywood.

Revell - B-17G Flying Fortress - 1:72 (04283)
The B-17 Flying Fortress is the best-known American
bomber of World War II. Heavy losses in 1943, when a
total of 120 bombers was shot down, lead to the
conclusion that previous B-17 versions carried
insufficient defensive armament. As a consequence, the
front lower nose of the B-17G was equipped with a turret
carrying two 12,7 mm machine guns, providing an
effective defense against the feared frontal attacks.
Simultaneously, supplementary gun positions were added
to the fuselage sides.

18,000 B-24 Liberators were produced
making it the most widely produced US heavy bomber of
WWII. It gained a distinguished war record with its
operations in all theatres. The Liberator VI was the RAF
designation for the B-24H and early B-24Js, the first
production versions of the aircraft to be built with a
nose turret which was the most numerous RAF version with
over 1,100 being delivered. Coastal Command used a
slightly modified version very successfully against the
U-Boat threat in the North Atlantic.

Airfix - Short Stirling BI/III - 1:72 (A07002)
The Stirling was the first of the RAF’s
four engined bombers to go into service during WWII. Its
function was that of bomber, mine layer, supply
dropping, transport and glider tug. The Stirling
suffered from several design limitations which severely
affected its performance and load-carrying capability.
As a consequence, its service with Bomber Command was
marred by heavy losses when used on operations alongside
the higher-flying Halifaxes and Lancasters.

The superb amphibious ‘Cat’ entered
service in 1939 and was immediately successful in its
various roles. The type from 209 squadron spotted the
Bismarck during the famous action in the Denmark Strait
in 1941. Weaknesses such as a slow flying speed, lack of
crew armour and no self-sealing tanks, led to more
suitable roles for the “Cat”. Coinciding with the
development of effective radar, and Japanese reliance on
night transport led to the development of the “Black Cat
Squadrons.”

Airfix - Heinkel He III H-20 - 1:72 (A05021)
The Heinkel He-111 was the mainstay of
the German offensive against Great Britain during the
“Battle of Britain”. It was produced in far larger
quantities than the Do-17 series and remained in service
throughout the war. The Heinkel He-111 was first
displayed in January 1936, not as a bomber, but in the
guise of a civil airliner.
In 1937 the civil disguise of the He-111 was abandoned;
He-111 B-1s were sent to the Condor Legion fighting in
the Spanish Civil war. The success of the He-111 in
Spain played a large part in shaping German bombing
policy, which later proved wrong when the lightly armed
bombers suffered heavy losses over Britain when opposed
by modern and determined fighters.

closing days of the Battle that the flagship Ju 88 A-4

nearly all of the troubles of the A-1 were gone, and
finally the Ju 88 matured into a superb warplane.

war-weary bomber airframe with explosives and guiding it
to its target by a fighter aircraft mounted above it on
a set of struts. After releasing the bomber, the fighter
would return to base. This version was planned on paper,
never actually flew, but shows one of the different
options the Luftwaffe were considering as the Allies
closed in during the latter months of the war.

had been transformed into the Army Air Forces, and it
selected a modified version of the DC-3, the C-47
Skytrain, to become its standard transport aircraft.
A reinforced fuselage floor a large cargo door were the
only major modifications. Other changes included the

engine. The Griffon was a development of the ‘R’ sprint
engine used in the Supermarine Schneider Trophy racing
seaplanes of the late 1920s and early 1930s. The low
level performance of the Mk XII was very useful when
dealing with low level hit and run raids mounted by the
Fw 190, and later helped against the V-1, though the
mark did not enter mass production.

Airfix - Messerschmitt BT109E-1 /
E-3 / E-4 - 1:48 (A05120)
The E-1 carried two 7.92 mm MG 17s above
the engine and two more in the wings. The E-1B became
the first operational Bf 109 fighter bomber. These were
fitted with either one central bomb rack, carrying one
250 kg bomb, or two under-wing bomb racks, each carrying
a 50 kg bomb. The E-3 was armed with the two MG 17s
above the engine and one MG FF cannon in each wing. The
E-3 was replaced by the E-4 (with many airframes being
upgraded to E-4 standards starting at the beginning of
the Battle of Britain) which was different in some small
details, most notably by using the modified 20 mm
MG-FF/M wing cannon and having improved head armour for
the pilot.

Airfix - Messerschmitt Bf109E-1 /
E-3 / E-7 Trop - 1:48 (A05122)
Following the experiences of the E-4, the
E-7 was the next major production variant, entering
service and seeing combat at the end of August 1940. One
of the limitations of the earlier Bf 109E interceptor
fighter was the short range of 660km (410 miles). The
E-7 rectified this problem as it was the first to carry
a drop tank.

Airfix - Junkers Ju67b - 1:48
(A05100)
The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from
Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a two-seat (pilot
and rear gunner) German ground-attack aircraft. It first
flew in 1935 and made its combat debut in 1936 as part
of the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish
Civil War. The aircraft was easily recognizable by its
inverted gull wings, fixed spatted undercarriage and its
infamous "Jericho Trumpet" wailing siren. Three

Airfix - Supermarine Seafire FR46 / FR47 - 1:48 (A06103)
The Seafire FR.47 was the last variant of the classic R
J Mitchell / J Smith fighter, with very little remaining
of the Supermarine Type 300. The elliptical wing had
been considerably modified and the Griffon engine with a
six-bladed contra-rotating propeller had replaced the
Merlin. The contrast from the Spitfire Mk I was vast,
the Seafire FR 47 had twice as much power, a speed
increase from 355mph to 451mph and a threefold increase
in firepower.

Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire PRXIX 1:48 (A05119)
The Mk XIX was the last and most successful photographic
reconnaissance variant of the Spitfire. It combined
features of the Mk XI with the Griffon engine of the Mk
XIV.
After the first 25 (type 389s) were
produced, later aircraft were also fitted with the
pressurised cabin of the MkX and the fuel capacity was
increased to 256 gallons, three-and-a-half times that of
the original Spitfire. The first MkXIXs entered service
in May 1944, and, by the end of the war, the type had
virtually replaced the earlier Mk XI. A total of 225
were built with production ceasing in early 1946.
Features include optional dropped flaps, poseable
rudder, open or closed canopy option ,detailed camera
parts, fine surface detail and optional undercarriage up
or down.

Airfix - Hawker Fury 1:48 (A04103)
Bearing the distinction of being the first RAF fighter
to exceed 200mph in level flight, the Hawker Fury was
one of the most capable fighters of the pre-monoplane
era. Whilst beautiful as well as fast, it proved to be
more expensive than the likes of the Bristol Bulldog and
so eventually only served in the South African Air
Force’s front line. The aircraft depicted on the box can
be seen flying for the Historic Aircraft Collection Ltd.
IWM Duxford.

enough to be flown in combat more or less like a
