Product Info The development of the Shooting Star leant heavily on early jet technology supplied by the British, as the Americans were lagging behind both Britain and Germany regarding jet propulsion and the discovery of the Luftwaffe s Messerschmitt Me 262 highlighted the need for their own viable jet fighter. Initially developed around the British…
The North American P-51 Mustang is regarded by many as one of the most iconic American fighters of the Second World War. Designed to fulfil an RAF specification, the Mustang was transformed once the Rolls Royce Merlin engine was installed. The P-51D model s long range and excellent firepower made it a superb escort fighter,…
About the Aircraft: The Gloster Gladiator was developed from the Gloster Gauntlet as a private venture, and represented both the peak and the end of the biplane fighter. In many air arms it smoothed the transition to monoplane fighters, and in confronting aircraft of its own era it performed well. About the Model: Such a…
As helicopter technology continued to advance apace following the end of the Second World War, the operational flexibility offered by rotary powered aircraft resulted in a race to develop a machine with the power and range to carry both troops and supplies efficiently. The breakthrough came with the introduction of the US Sikorski H-19 Chickasaw,…
About the Aircraft: First entering RAF service in 1952, the De Havilland Vampire T.11 trainer was the final UK variant of Britain s second operational jet fighter and the first advanced jet trainer to adopt a side-by-side seating configuration. Unusually, the forward section of the fuselage was constructed of plywood, adopting manufacturing techniques perfected on…
Product Info The Boulton-Paul Defiant was the only turret fighter to enter service with the RAF. The Defiant used the philosophy that a fighter aircraft, armed solely with a turret bristling with machine guns would be able to enter a bomber stream causing havoc and the turret would also enable it to defend itself from…
Product Info The F4F Wildcat was the US Navy s primary carrier borne fighter aircraft at the start of the Second World War.

About the Aircraft: A much more complicated aeroplane than the Hawker Hurricane which preceded it into RAF service, the Spitfire represented the pinnacle of aviation design when the first examples were delivered to No.19 Squadron at Duxford in the summer of 1938. As the clouds of war were gathering, the RAF were going to need…
An aircraft which has to be considered one of the finest aeroplanes of the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V could trace its design lineage back to the Hurricane fighters which proved so decisive during the Battle of Britain only two years earlier, but would represent the absolute zenith of piston engined fighter design….
Product Info About the Aircraft: The A-4 Skyhawk is a carrier-capable ground-attack aircraft designed for the US Navy and Marine Corps. Skyhawks were the Navy s primary light bomber used over North Vietnam. The Argentine air force also used the type during the Falklands War in 1982. About the Model: From its multi-purpose design to…
About the Aircraft: The agile and reliable BAe Hawk T.1 has been providing the Royal Air Force with an effective advanced jet pilot training platform for over 40 years, replacing the Folland Gnat in this role. With over 1000 aircraft produced, the Hawk has also proved to be one of Britain s most lucrative post…

Product Info About the Aircraft: Despite being the most advanced aircraft of WWII, Adolf Hitler insisted that the Me262 be developed into a fast attack bomber, diverting valuable resources from much needed fighter production. Known as the Stormbird the attack version included hard points for two 500kg bombs under the nose of the aircraft, with…
Product Info Without question, the de Havilland Mosquito qualifies as one of the finest 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…
Product Info The Harrier GR9 was a heavily updated development of the existing GR7, incorporating the ability to use a wide range of advanced precision weaponry, new communication systems and airframe upgrades.
Product Info This version of the Sea Harrier is best known for its successful campaign in the war of 1982 in the South Atlantic, where it suffered no air-to-air losses against the Argentinian forces.
