IMAM (Romeo) Ro-37bis - SPECIAL HOBBY

In the early 1930s, the Italian Regia Aeronautica operated IMAM Ro.1 (Fokker CV under licence) reconnaissance and observation biplanes. The military were quite satisfied with the type, however when IMAM offered a new type of biplane designed by Giovanni Galasso, the decision was made to acquire the new type. After successful test flights of the prototype, production began in 1934. The Ro.37 was powered by an inline Fiat A.30 engine, but the Italian Army also showed interest in a version fitted with a Piaggio P radial engine. .IX . This version was known as the Ro.37bis and was produced in the inline engine type. The Ro.37 and 37bis became the main observation and reconnaissance types of the Regia Aeronautica and were kept in service until the surrender of Italy on 25 August 1943. By this time, a total of 621 machines of both versions had been produced, 325 of which were the bis version. The first time the type saw combat action was during the Italian attack on Abyssinia (Ethiopia). They also fought in the Spanish Civil War, operated by both the Aviazione Legionaria and the Aviación Nacional.

MACCHI MC.205 VELTRO - ITALERI

The Macchi MC 205 Veltro is considered by many to be the best Italian fighter of the Second World War. The evolution of the "Folgore" kept the excellent aeronautical design of its predecessor unchanged and was equipped, like the other "series 5" fighters, with the German Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. The powerful 12-cylinder V engine, also produced under license by Fiat, allowed the Veltro to reach a maximum speed of 640 km/h. Fast, maneuverable and well armed, with the adoption of 2 x 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose and 2 x 20 mm cannons in the wings, it was capable of fighting on a par with the best Allied fighters of the period such as the P-51 American Mustang. It entered the line in the first months of 1943 with the Regia Aeronautica. After the armistice of 8 September it was employed, until the end of the conflict, both by the flight departments of the Italian Social Republic and by those of the Co-Belligerent Air Force.

Gloster Meteor F.1 BY TAMIYA 61051

The Gloster Meteor was a twin-engine straight-wing jet fighter produced by the British Gloster Aircraft Company in the 1940s. The first British jet to enter operational service and the second in the world, the Meteor was used for about 15 years by the air forces of dozens of nations. Armament consisted of four 20 mm Hispano guns. Propulsion was provided by two jet engines installed on the straight wing. The speed was between 668 and 950 km/h depending on the models, two of which appeared in wartime. Despite its traditional design and large size, it fought in various regional conflicts until at least 1956 and achieved several firsts and a world speed record. On November 7, 1945, Captain HJ Wilson achieved the first speed record for a jet aircraft, flying at a speed of 975 km/h at Herne Bay in Kent (England). When it was surpassed as a fighter, it found use as a fighter-bomber and especially as a two-seat night fighter, equipped with radar in the nose, as well as a trainer.

Tamiya 61113 Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik 1:48

Ilyushin Il-2 is a Soviet, single-engine low-wing, mixed-frame attack aircraft with a classic tail, designed by Sergei Ilyushin since World War II. The flight of the prototype took place on October 2, 1939, and serial production began in 1940 and lasted until 1945. In total, up to 36,183 copies of this large aircraft were built. The power unit was a 12-cylinder Mikulin AM-38 piston engine with a power of up to 1600 hp. The concept of the Il-2 aircraft was based on the desire to create a heavily armed and heavily armored attack aircraft designed to destroy enemy ground targets and their armored vehicles. Mass-produced airplanes had 4 to 6mm armor around the engine and cockpit. The Il-2 was therefore resistant to small arms fire and single shots from 20mm cannons. After improving the quality of crew training and applying new tactics, the Il-2 became an aircraft capable of wreaking havoc among the German Panzewaffe. It is no coincidence that the Germans nicknamed it "flying death", and the designer nicknamed it "flying tank". During the war, a dozen versions of Il-2 were created, the most important of which is Il2m3. Its crew consisted of two people - a pilot and a rear gunner, the Mikulin AM-38F (1700 HP) unit was used as the engine, and a self-sealing fuel tank was introduced. The aerodynamic properties have also been improved. In total, 7377 machines of this version were built in 1944. Il-2 took part in all major battles on the Eastern Front - from Moscow (1941) through Stalingrad and Kursk (1942/1943), up to the Berlin operation in 1945. Technical data (Ił-2 mod.1942 version) : length: 11.65 m, wingspan: 14.6 m, maximum speed: 426 km / h, practical range: 740 km, practical ceiling 6200 m, armament: fixed -2 WJ 23 mm guns, 2 7.62 mm SzKAS machine guns, 8 unguided RS-82 / RS-132 outboard missiles, bombs up to 400 kg

USAAF P-51 NORTH AFRICA ACADEMY - SCALE 1:48

USAAF P-51 NORTH AFRICA ACADEMY 1:48 SCALE The North American P-51 Mustang is an American, single-engine, long-range fighter and attack aircraft with a classic tail and all-metal construction. The prototype flight took place on October 26, 1940. The P-51 Mustang has earned a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, fighter aircraft of WWII. Replacing the Allison V-1710-39 engine from the first project with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine (P-51 Mustang Mk.Ia version) brought the Mustang to perfection like never before. The single-seat fighter impressed with its top speed, range, maneuverability and powerful weapons. The combination of all the most important parameters for the evaluation of the aircraft meant that the Mustang proved itself in practically every role entrusted to it: it gained air superiority, escorted, performed reconnaissance missions, attacked ground targets. The class of design is evidenced by the fact that the Mustang remained in active service well into the 1970s! One of the most notable versions was the P-51D, based on the P-51B. It received a drip-free cab fairing, which provides excellent visibility, and a new engine, the Packard V-1650-7, which significantly improved performance. Technical data (P-51D version): length: 9.83 m, wingspan: 11.28 m, height: 4.08 m, maximum speed: 703 km / h, rate of climb: 16.3 m / s, maximum range: 2755 km, practical ceiling: 12800 m, armament: fixed - 6 12.7 mm M2 machine guns, suspended - up to 908 kg of bombs or 10 127 mm HVAR rocket launchers.

The Grumman A-6 Intruder was an American airborne attack aircraft of the Cold War and modern times. The flight of the aircraft took place in 1960, and the machine entered service in 1963. In total, about 690 aircraft of this type were built. In the A-6E version, traction was provided by two Pratt and Whitney J-52-P8B engines, each with a thrust of 41 kN. The machine did not have permanent armament on board. However, it could carry a load of bombs and rockets with a total weight of up to 8,200 kg.

Vought TA-7C Corsair II BY Hobby Boss 80346

The Vought A-7 Corsair II is a light attack aircraft, adapted for use from aircraft carriers. Its story begins in February 1964, when Vought (today LTV Aerospace) was commissioned to develop a project for a new onboard aircraft for the US Navy, intended to replace the A-4 Skyhawk, with greater armament and scope. The design was developed on the basis of the F-8 Crusader and adapted it for subsonic flights. The A-7 prototype was flown in 1965, and serial production began a year later. The Corsair II recalls the shape of a Crusader, however the angle of the wing wedge has not been changed, which has been redesigned, bringing the number of suspension nodes to 6, and - apart from the flaps and ailerons - saws and spoilers , a device for hydraulic folding of the wings was also introduced. The structure was largely unified with the crusader, using many ready-made elements. The main versions are: A-7E (fighter-assault), A-7H (land version), A-7K (new avionics, in service since 1980). The A-7 Corsair II aircraft saw extensive combat use in the Vietnam War and the 1986 air attack on Libya. Mins were also exported. in Greece and Portugal. Technical data: Maximum speed: 1100 km/h; rate of climb 67 m/s, maximum ceiling 16000 m, maximum range: 4600 km, permanent armament: two 20mm Mk.12 guns, lifting capacity: up to 6800 kg.

German Messerschmitt Me509 by Trumpeter 02849

The Messerschmitt Me-509 was a single-seat low-wing fighter with a German all-metal construction. Traction was provided by a single Daimler-Benz DB605B engine with 1455hp. The aircraft did not go beyond the stage of study work - not even a prototype of the Me-509 appeared - and in mid-1943 work on the aircraft was stopped. The design of the Me-509 was to be based on another Messerschmitt project - the Me-309 fighter. However, it was planned to use a trilobe wing and move the power unit, which was supposed to be located behind the cockpit. This solution was analogous to the one used in the American Bell P-39 Aircobra. The Me-50's target armament consisted of two MG 131 machine guns and two 20 mm MG 151 cannons. The maximum speed of the plane should have been around 760 km/h. Eventually, however, work on the project was stopped, although it is worth noting that it became an inspiration for the Japanese company Yokosuka, which created an experimental aircraft very similar to the Me-509 called the R2Y Keiun.
