Airfix - Starter Set - North American P-51D Mustang - 1:72

Product Code: A55013

The P-51D was arguably the definitive variant of the North American Mustang and included several significant improvements to the aircraft’s already successful design. These included a new bubble canopy for greater pilot visibility, the introduction of an effective new K-14 gunsight, even greater firepower, improvements to the ammunition feed system to reduce jamming and the availability of lightweight external fuel tanks, to further extend the fighter's range. The Mustang made a significant contribution to the eventual Allied victory in Europe, destroying more enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat than any other USAAF fighter in the European Theatre.

Airfix - Starter Set - Messerschmitt Bf109F-4 - 1:72

Product Code: A55014

(Pre-Order Due Spring 2024)

One of the greatest fighting aeroplanes in the history of aviation, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was always at the forefront of world fighter design and, just like its adversary the Spitfire, was in constant development throughout the Second World War. Major variants of the fighter usually coincided with developments in the Daimler Benz engine which powered the Messerschmitt. Of the five major variants, the F or 'Friedrich' is usually considered the most refined version of the Bf 109. Introduced during the spring of 1941, the Bf 109F was superior to RAF Spitfires in service at that time and was flown by many successful Luftwaffe aces.

Product Code: A55016

(Pre-Order Due Winter 2024-2025)

Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc vs Bf109F-4 Dogfight Double - 1:72

Product Code: A50194

(Pre-Order Due Spring 2024)

The ultimate 'clash of eagles', which came to represent the struggle for aerial supremacy during the Second World War, was undoubtedly contested between Britain's Supermarine Spitfire and Germany's Messerschmitt Bf 109, two of the most famous fighting aeroplanes in the history of flight. With both fighters remaining in service throughout the war, both were continually upgraded to either gain an advantage over their adversary or to overcome one. Whilst other aircraft types would eventually join the fray, the Spitfire and Messerschmitt continued to contest their deadly rivalry, which began above the beaches of Dunkirk during the summer of 1940.

Airfix - P-51D Mustang vs Bf109F-4 Dogfight Double - 1:72

Product Code: A50193

(Pre-Order Due Spring 2024)

In what would often be a very personal dual fought in the skies above Europe between airmen from Allied and Axis air forces, the struggle for aerial supremacy raged throughout the Second World War. But the summer of 1944 witnessed the introduction of the new 'D' variant of the North American Mustang. Arguably the finest fighting aeroplane of the entire war was now hurled against what remained of the Luftwaffe, a force which included less experienced pilots and older variants of the famous Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter. In capable hands though, the Bf 109F Friedrich was still a deadly adversary.

Airfix - D-Day Fighters Gift Set - 1:72

Product Code: A50192

(Pre-Order Due Spring  2024)

The importance of the role air power played in the months leading up to D-Day cannot be overstated, with the Allied powers knowing that securing superiority of the skies over the proposed landing beaches could be the difference between success and failure of the entire operation.

Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia - 1:72

Product Code: A01071C

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

The first production Spitfire Mk.I was delivered to RAF No.19 Squadron at Duxford on 4th August 1938, heralding the arrival of a future aviation icon. With various upgraded marks of this classic fighter serving throughout the Second World War, the Spitfire is arguably the most famous fighter aircraft to ever take to the skies.

Airfix - Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB - 1:72

Product Code: A02041B

(Pre-Order Due Autumn 2024)

By 1943, the RAF needed a dedicated ground attack fighter and the Typhoon was suited to the role. The powerful engine allowed the aircraft to carry a load of up to two 1,000lb (454kg) bombs. From September 1943, Typhoons could also be armed with four, eight or, in some cases, even 12 "60lb" RP-3 rockets.

Airfix - Gloster Gladiator Mk.I/Mk.II - 1:72

Product Code: A02052B

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

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 when confronting aircraft of its own era, it performed well.

Airfix - Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.3/T.4 - 1:72

Product Code: A02103A

(Pre-Order Due 2024)

For most RAF pilots serving between 1960 and 1988, the Hunting Aircraft (BAC) Jet Provost is extremely familiar. Forming the backbone of RAF pilot training during this period, the Jet Provost was distinctive by its broad fuselage profile, which allowed for a relatively spacious side-by-side cockpit arrangement.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - de Havilland Tiger Moth - 1:72

Product Code: A02106A

(Pre-Order Due Autumn 2024)

Still a familiar sight at airfields all over the world, the de Havilland Tiger Moth primary trainer made its first flight back in 1931 and provided British and Commonwealth air forces with thousands of trained pilots for their operational squadrons. Performing a similar role to this day, the Tiger Moth allows prospective Warbird pilots to gain valuable experience in flying a tail-dragger aircraft.

Airfix - Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F 'Fresco' - 1:72

Product Code: A03091A

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

The end of the Second World War saw victorious Allied nations desperately attempting to secure details of German jet technology and high-speed research data which could be applied to their own jet projects. The Soviet Union used information and engine technology obtained from Britain to introduce the diminutive Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 in 1949 - one of the most capable of the early jet fighters.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Supermarine Swift FR.5 - 1:72

Product Code: A04003

The Swift still holds the honour of being the first swept-wing jet fighter in RAF service. The FR.5 proved itself in the reconnaissance role, winning the NATO 'Royal Flush' reconnaissance competition in 1957 and 1959, conclusively beating off the best types other nations could offer.

Scheme A: Supermarine Swift FR.5, flown by Flight Lieutenant Nigel Walpole, No. 79 Sqn, Royal Air Force Germany, Gutersloh, Germany, April 1956

Airfix - Bristol Beaufort Mk.IA - 1:72

Product Code: A04021A

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

RAF Beaufort crews were tasked with flying some of the most dangerous attack missions of the Second World War, with their aircraft often flying into a hail of enemy defensive fire. The Mk.IA variant was based on its predecessor but benefitted from increased strengthening and the addition of a Bristol B1 MK.V turret.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Westland Sea King HC.4 - 1:72

Product Code: A04056A

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

Well-suited for amphibious warfare and the tactical insertion of ground troops, the 'Commando' was an important variant of the Sea King. It was initially proposed as a tactical transport for the Egyptian Air Force, for which the amphibious capability of earlier Sea Kings was not required, and so the side floats were deleted. With folding rotors and tail, the Commando entered service with the Royal Navy as the Sea King HC.4.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Gloster Meteor F.8/FR.9 - 1:72

Product Code: A04067

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

Historically positioned as Britain's first jet-powered fighter to enter service, the Gloster Meteor played a significant role in the air defence of the nation for well over a decade, with the redesigned F.8 becoming the definitive and most heavily produced variant. It was further developed into the armed reconnaissance FR.9, Meteors which served mainly overseas.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Boeing Chinook HC.1 - 1:72

Product Code: A06023

(Pre-Order Due Spring 2024)

Airfix - Consolidated B-24H Liberator - 1:72

Product Code: A09010

The second of America's great four-engined heavy bombers of the Second World War, the Consolidated B-24 Liberator began development after the Army Air Corps approached the company to build B-17 Flying Fortresses. Unimpressed at the prospect, Consolidated proposed that they could design and produce their own bomber in the same time it would take them to establish production lines, and it would be better than a Flying Fortress.

Scheme A: A09010 - Consolidated B-24H-10-FO Liberator, 42-52234 'Corky Burgundy Bombers', 733rd Bomb Squadron, RAF Old Buckenham Airfield, Norfolk, England, 1944. (A)

Product Code: A07280

he Severn class lifeboat is the largest lifeboat in the RNLI fleet introduced in 1995. As an all-weather vessel, she can take on the worst sea conditions and comes into her own on long offshore searches and rescues. When lives are at risk out at sea, time is of the essence.

Airfix - Hawker P.1127 - 1:72

Product Code: A01033V

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

One of the most significant aircraft in the history of British aviation, the Hawker Siddeley P.1127 was the development forerunner of the famous Harrier and the aircraft which introduced the incredible Bristol Pegasus-vectored thrust jet engine to the world of aviation. Six aircraft were produced, however three were lost to accidents, highlighting the ground-breaking nature of this test programme.

Airfix - Bristol 192 Belvedere - 1:72

Product Code: A03002V

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

A significant post-war achievement for Britain's aviation industry, the Bristol Belvedere was a highly capable, tandem-rotor, heavy-lift helicopter which underlined the versatility of modern rotorcraft. Featuring true twin-engine redundancy, the Belvedere could operate safely on just a single engine if required. Surprisingly, only 26 of these helicopters were produced.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Handley Page Hampden - 1:72

Product Code: A04011V

(Pre-Order Due Autumn 2024)

Unquestionably one of the most distinctive British aircraft of the Second World War, the Hampden was an impressively manoeuvrable medium bomber which saw extensive service during the early stages of the war, with its narrow 3ft-wide fuselage earning it the nickname of the 'Flying Suitcase'. It was used on the RAF's first bombing raid against Berlin in August 1940.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - de Havilland Chipmunk T.10/T.20 - 1:48

Product Code: A04105A

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

An aircraft which has been responsible for training thousands of pilots and allowing thousands more to enjoy experience flights, the Chipmunk took over this important responsibility from the venerable Tiger Moth from 1950 onwards. One of the longest serving RAF types, the Chipmunk still provides training and currency support for pilots of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Messerschmitt Bf109E-3/E-4 - 1:48

Product Code: A05120C

(Pre-Order Due Autumn 2024)

As the battle hardened, Bf109 fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe began operations against Britain following the Dunkirk evacuation and they were at a disadvantage for the first time. With only enough fuel for limited time over England, any mechanical issue or damage during combat resulted in their capture at best and certainly helped hasten an end to their war.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Curtiss Tomahawk Mk.II - 1:48

Product Code: A05133A

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

The first Curtiss Tomahawk fighters to arrive in Britain during the Second World War operated in the tactical reconnaissance role and were deemed unsuitable for fighter sweeps into German-held Europe.

Airfix - Bristol Bulldog Mk.II - 1:48

Product Code: A05141

(Pre-Order Due Spring 2024)

A gleaming silver steed flown by the most capable and intrepid young men Britain could call upon, the Bristol Bulldog was one of the most important British aircraft of the inter-war period, when powerful biplane fighters unquestionably ruled the skies. Initially developed as a private venture by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, the Bulldog was the brainchild of accomplished aircraft designer Frank Barnwell, the man behind the successful Bristol F2B Fighter of the Great War, and was a light, all-metal and fabric-covered fighter, powered by a 440hp Bristol Jupiter engine.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - Supermarine Walrus Mk.I - 1:48

Product Code: A09183

Despite its rather ungainly appearance, the Supermarine Walrus was one of the most effective aircraft of its type ever built. Required to operate in particularly hostile environments, the Walrus was an excellent naval reconnaissance aircraft and became an invaluable air-sea rescue asset, responsible for saving the lives of many downed airmen.

Scheme A: Supermarine Walrus Mk.I, No. 276 Squadron, Royal Air Force Harrowbeer, Devon, England, 1944.

Scheme B: Supermarine Walrus Mk.I , No. 700 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Sheffield, 1941.

Airfix - Cromwell Mk.IV / Mk.VI - 1:35

Product Code: A1384

(Pre-Order Due Summer 2024)

One of the most effective British tanks of the Second World War, the Cromwell may have been slow in development but was a speedster on the battlefield, with its Rolls Royce Meteor engine capable of powering this Cruiser Tank to an impressive 40mph. The Cromwell was used extensively in Europe following the D-Day landings.

Airfix - HMS Ajax - 1:600

Product Code: A03204V

(Pre-Order Due Autumn 2024)

HMS Ajax was a British Leander-class light cruiser first launched in March 1934. It was a vessel with an illustrious career. Perhaps her most famous action came at the beginning of the Second World War when she led an engagement against the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee in the South Atlantic, which led to the scuttling of the mighty Kriegsmarine surface raider.

Paints required but not included: TBA

Airfix - HMS Iron Duke - 1:600

Product Code: A04210V

(Pre-Order Due Winter 2024-2025)
