Crucially, these majestic aircraft would achieve an exemplary safety record, carrying many thousands of passengers safely at a time when scheduled air travel was still in its relative infancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchemes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandley Page H.P.42W (H.P45 Western) 'Heracles' and 'Helena', Imperial Airways, London, 1931.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e22.5\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e5.5\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e19\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e74\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Scale\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1:144\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eLicense line\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eContents (what's in the box) sets\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSprues \u0026amp; decals\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFinish\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNumber of Scheme options\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSkill Level\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e2\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFlying Hours\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e2\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWingspan (mm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e277\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39939076063320,"sku":"AFX-03172V","price":41.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/a03172v_1_handley-page-hp42-heracles.jpg?v=1786422436"},{"product_id":"academy-14217-1-1000-r-m-s-titanic","title":"Academy 14217 1:1000 R.M.S Titanic","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcademy is back with another kit of the RMS Titanic, this time in 1\/1000 scale.

Germany realized this fact very early in World War 2 and demonstrated use of support vehicles during their early \"Blitzkriegs\". They had developed a great number of vehicles for differing purposes, and a very successful on was the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. This semi-tracked vehicle became the centerpiece of their mechanized corps throughout the conflict. Production began in 1939, and the series is broken down into four types, from Ausf.A to D. according to the differences in design and its production period. Early models used a very complicated hull construction, made up of obliquely placed armor plating. This was somewhat simplified in the C and D types, to make mass production easier. The final \"D\" version appeared in 1943, and it became the most widely used model of the four versions. Of the many types produced, the basic personnel carrier was the Sd.Kfz. 251\/1. Powered by the Maybach HL42 six cylinder engine, it had a top speed of 53km\/h and a range of 300km. It was armed with two MG42 machine guns plus automatic rifles for the crew, and could carry twelve fully equipped soldiers. This versatile half track was also the basis for a wide variety of self-propelled weapon systems, which were mounted to its chassis.

The Allied Liberation of Europe began on the June 6th, 1944, on the beaches of Normandy, and lasted until Germany's surrender on May 9th, 1945. The Sherman tanks of the U.S. Army began their steady advance into the European mainland, wrenching Europe piece-by-piece from the clutches of Germany. However, the massive tanks of the Wehrmacht such as Tiger and Panther would prove overpowering against the agile, yet considerably smaller Shermans. One of the major factors that allowed the Allies' advance to continue despite this disparity in power was the quick recovery and repair of battle damaged tanks. That is where the M26 Armored Tank Recovery Vehicles and their brave crews came in. The M26 first saw action on the Italian Front of 1943, and was later extensively used in the inland advancement of the Allies following the Invasion at Normandy.

Required to operate from the relatively confined space aboard one of Britain's aircraft carriers, this subsonic strike jet was the most capable aircraft of its kind in the world and a real triumph for Britain's aviation industry - it also happened to be the heaviest aircraft ever operated by the Royal Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to allow its effective operation at sea, the Buccaneers design not only included the ability to fold its wings, but also the nose (radar housing) and rear speed brake could be folded back and split open respectively, allowing for more effective carrier stowage, whilst maintaining the aerodynamic integrity of the aircraft. Entering Royal Navy service in July 1962, there were no two seat trainer versions of the Buccaneer, so even though the pilot would have had the benefit of several flights as a back seat observer in the new aircraft, his first flight as pilot would therefore be his Buccaneer solo. Thankfully, the Blackburn designers included many hi-tech automated features in the Buccaneer's roomy cockpit, all of which were intended to reduce pilot workload.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is something aviation enthusiasts find particularly fascinating about the operation of aircraft at sea and the intrepid aviators who flew aeroplanes from the heaving decks of aircraft carriers under steam, particularly when aviation entered the jet age. The unforgiving nature of these operations dictated that naval aircraft had to be extremely tough, in addition to being capable of carrying out the mission for which they were required, attributes the Blackburn Buccaneer possessed in abundance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe introduction of the S.2 variant of the aircraft in late 1965 saw a major upgrade of the Buccaneer's capabilities, but centred around the adoption of a new powerplant, the famous Rolls Royce Spey turbofan. Possessing greater thrust and increased range, the Buccaneer S.2 was an even more capable naval strike aircraft and one which must have struck fear into the hearts of every Soviet naval commander. With its increased power, the S.2 was now able to land back on its home carrier with one engine shut down if required, but still having enough thrust to safely go around again, should the aircraft fail to catch the arrestor hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Buccaneers of No.800 Naval Air Squadron were famously involved in the destruction of the stricken oil tanker Torrey Canyon, off Land's End in March 1967, as the government attempted to avert an environmental catastrophe by breaking open the vessel and burning its flammable cargo. Operating from RAF Brawdy, eight Buccaneers from No.800 NAS dropped 42,000 lbs of high explosive bombs on the tanker, achieving an impressive 75% success rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchemes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA12012 - Blackburn Buccaneer S.2D No. 809 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Ark Royal, August 1978.

As WWII progressed, British troops found that their 2-pounder and 6 pounder guns were being rendered obsolete by German armor, and planners decided to develop a vehicle using the powerful 17 pounder (76.2mm) gun. The vehicle chosen to mount the gun on was the Valentine; the turret was removed and replaced with a fighting compartment – this would be known as the Archer. Interestingly, as there was little time to re-organize the cramped layout, the 17-pounder had to be mounted pointing rearwards to fit it in. As a result, the Archer moved and fired in opposite directions.

Because of its extraordinary qualities, the Zündapp could follow and escort the tank units of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS to all theatres of operations, especially in Russia, since the side car was even furnishe with heating for hands and feet of the man. Zündapps were distributed to all units of the armed forces, Only after 1943, they were replaced by 4-wheel vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45644786172189,"sku":"ITA-317","price":24.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/0317_box.jpg?v=1786422920"},{"product_id":"italeri-1447-1-72-fiat-br-20","title":"Italeri 1447 1:72 Fiat BR-20","description":"\u003ch1\u003eFIAT BR.20 Cicogna\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e Bombers and reconnaissance aircrafts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e Second World War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKILL\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Dim.\u003c\/strong\u003e 17,3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox Dim.\u003c\/strong\u003e 242 x 28 x 345 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 5 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFIGURE NOT INCLUDED - CONTAINS ONE MODEL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BR 20 \"Cicogna\" low wing medium bomber was developed by the Italian aircraft manufacturer Fiat during the 1930’s.

One of the most crucial abilities on any battlefield is to be able to transport your wounded troops quickly and efficiently from the front line, to field medical stations some distance behind the fighting, where they could receive the medical attention they needed and potentially save their lives. Although clearly any vehicle could be used for this task, a dedicated ambulance would often allow the wounded to start receiving care straight away and if you were ever in need of one's services, you would no doubt class these as the most important vehicles on the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most famous vehicles of its type, the Austin K2\/Y Ambulance was used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout WWII, both in the combat zones of the world and on the home front. Built around the chassis of the Austin K30 light truck, the casualty compartment was developed in conjunction with the Royal Army Medical Corps and therefore proved to be highly functional. Able to carry either four stretcher cases or ten seated casualties, one of the main reasons why the K2\/Y was so successful was because it was so rugged and reliable, requiring only a minimum of maintenance - an ambulance should always be ready when you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear cabin was typically constructed of painted canvas on a timber frame, with the highly visible red cross on a white disk positioned prominently on all sides to hopefully ensure the vehicles occupants didn't come under fire. Once the K2\/Y had delivered its latest casualty load to the field station, it would invariably head straight back into the combat zone, at speeds on open roads approaching 50 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn extremely popular vehicle with British, Commonwealth and American troops, the Austin K2\/Y was viewed as something as an angel on the troops shoulders. Hopefully, they would never need to see the inside of the ambulance, but if they did 'Katy' would be ready and waiting for them. With over 13,000 examples built, these would have been a familiar sight on the battlefields of the world and it is thought that around fifty examples still survive to this day, some having undergone restoration back to something close to their original wartime configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSchemes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1375 - Austin K2\/Y Ambulance 30 Corps, Motor Ambulance Convoy, Royal Army Service Corps, North West Europe, 1944.

Indeed, when accomplished designer Sydney Camm was looking to produce his '˜Super Hurricane'™ replacement for the aviation saviour of the Battle of Britain, the aircraft he surely had in mind was the Tempest V. As it was, the Tempest is often confused with its predecessor in Royal Air Force service, the Typhoon, even though the two are very different aeroplanes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original fighter replacement for the Hawker Hurricane was the Typhoon, an aircraft which attempted to combine the most powerful piston engine available at the time with a small, yet strong and heavily armed airframe. Although intended as an interceptor fighter, it became apparent during development that the new aircraft would not be able to fulfil this role, as the thickness of the wing was not conducive to high performance at high altitude. In fact, the Typhoon would endure quite a troubled development and service introduction, to the point where cancellation of the programme was seriously considered at one time. Nevertheless, the Typhoon would eventually go on to find its aviation niche as a hard-hitting ground attack aircraft and one which would come into its own during the time of the Allied invasion of Normandy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAware that their Typhoon had great potential but was in need of improvement, the Hawker design team started work on a new fighter project, one which incorporated many of the same philosophies as Typhoon, but also, several significant modifications. Indeed, the new aircraft was initially referred to as the Typhoon Mark II, but this was changed to Tempest as the prototype aircraft'™s first flight approached. Although this was still a big aeroplane for a single engined fighter, its airframe was light and it would be powered by the massively powerful 24 cylinder Napier Sabre engine, a powerplant which would give the new fighter spectacular performance. Making its first flight on 2nd September 1942, the new Hawker Tempest featured a newly designed laminar flow wing, which was much thinner than the wing used on its predecessor and allowed the new fighter to slip through the air at incredible speed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, the Typhoon and Tempest do share many similarities, however, if you know where to look, it is not difficult to tell them apart. Without doubt, the wing is the most obvious distinguishing feature, as not only is this thinner than the one used on the Typhoon, it is also a completely different shape. With a straighter leading edge and more elliptical trailing edge, the Tempest'™s wing was designed for speed, even though it could still be used effectively in a ground attack role. Other Tempest design differences include a slightly longer nose and a tail section which appears to be much larger, with a more generous vertical stabiliser which features a pronounced dorsal fillet. During the prototype aircraft'™s maiden flight, it posted an impressive top speed of 477 mph in level flight, impressing both the design team and the watching Air Ministry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hawker Tempest V entered Royal Air Force service in early 1944, with the first two squadrons to receive the type having both previously operated the Typhoon. It was thought that managing the incredible power generated by the Tempest'™s engine could pose problems for pilots converting from smaller aircraft types and that former Typhoon units would be best placed to negotiate its squadron introduction. In advance of the D-day landings, Tempests were being used in a similar ground attack role to the one being flown so effectively by Typhoon squadrons, however, should it be required to make the shift to air combat operations mid-mission, the Tempest was much more suited to this task. Possessing significantly greater range than the Typhoon, Tempests could loiter in the combat zone for longer periods, allowing offensive strikes deeper into occupied Europe, or allowing pilots to wait patiently for the Luftwaffe to come up and fight, where they could show them what their new fighter could really do. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the fastest Allied fighter at low and medium altitudes, Tempest squadrons were held back for home defence duties in the weeks which followed the successful D-day landings, due to the onslaught of a sinister new weapon, the V-1 '˜Doodlebug'™ pulse jet flying bomb. The Tempest proved to be an excellent V-1 killer, using the speed of the fighter, effectiveness of its guns and bravery of its pilots to destroy large numbers of these terrifying weapons before they could wreak their havoc on British towns and cities. Britain'™s most effective force against these indiscriminate weapons, hundreds of Doodlebugs were shot down by the RAF'™s Hawker Tempest V squadrons, with Squadron Leader Joseph Berry proving to be the most proficient at this work, with no fewer than 61 V-1 '˜kills'™ to his name. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the V-1 threat diminishing, the RAF'™s Tempest V squadrons were free to embark on aggressive seek and destroy missions into occupied Europe, using the speed, range and firepower of their latest fighter to great effect. Looking for potential V-1 launch sites and increasingly, the new German jet fighters which had started operating against the Allied air forces, the Tempest began to show that it was undoubtedly one of the most capable fighting aeroplanes in the world. Indeed, it has been reported that the aggressively flown Tempest was the Allied aircraft Messerschmitt Me262 jet pilots most feared during those early days of jet powered operations, particularly if they were caught during the landing and taking off phases of flight, when their jets were much more vulnerable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no doubt that the Hawker Tempest V was a real brute of an aeroplane, fast, heavily armed and possessing performance which could better any fighter the Luftwaffe had in service, perhaps with the exception of the Me262 at full speed. Pilots who had experience flying both the Tempest V and its predecessor, the Typhoon, describe the difference as being like night and day - they actually said that it was like comparing a cart horse with a race horse. Although this seems a little harsh, as they flew the aircraft in combat, we should certainly bow to their judgement. Although appearing relatively late in WWII, the Tempest V still takes its place as one of the most effective piston engined fighters of the Second World War and was perhaps the '˜Super Hurricane'™ designer Sydney Camm had always envisaged developing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSchemes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA02110 - Hawker Tempest Mk.V Post War, Aircraft flown by Leader H 'Poppa' Ambrose DFC, Commanding Officer No.26 Squadron, Royal Air Force Gatow, Germany , 1946.

The American M-32 ARV was based on the chassis of the well-known Sherman A-4 medium tank and it was used by U.S. Army in the European Theater of Operations during the Second World War. It  was characterized by the superstructure that permitted to lift and to trail the damaged tanks. Furthermore on M-32 a wide set of repairing tools and spare parts were loaded on board emphasizing its role of real “mobile armoured workshop” capable of operating on the front line. The M-32 was even able to perform complex operation as the replacing of the tank engine. The M-32, after the end of WWII, served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and it was used by many Countries until the ‘90s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47311737356573,"sku":"ITA-6547","price":61.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/6547.jpg?v=1786423168"},{"product_id":"tamiya-1-12-honda-cbr1000rr-fireblade-30th-anniversary","title":"Tamiya 14141 1:12 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 30th Anniversary","description":"\u003cp\u003eTamiya # 14141  1\/12 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 30th Anniversary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model assembly kit recreates the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP featuring a special coloring to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first generation “FIREBLADE” bike by Honda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnounced in 2019, the CBR1000RR-R FIREBLADE SP is a stunning triumph of motorcycle design with a highly circuit-oriented feel yet providing an accessible ride to road-going owners.

The Royal Air Force rid itself of a huge proportion of its inventory because in peace time conditions just to maintain and to operate this fleet was impossible.\u003cbr\u003eDuring the same period the seeds of commercial aviation were germinating and a great future was foreseen for passenger carriers. All kinds of airplanes, mainly the former bombers, were rebuilt as transport and passenger planes. One such was the D.H.9 bomber which, while it had not won much glory for itself in combat, presented a sound basis for conversion for civilian use. And so the work was undertaken by deleting the various armament fixtures; the Scarff ring and machine guns, bomb bay and carriers and ammunition supply. This freed up space for the provision of seats for two and later three passengers, some being protected by a fuselage canopy from bad weather. The pilot as before was still in an open cockpit.\u003cbr\u003eThe first flights took place soon after the signing of the truce. Some planes of this type were bought by the new Dutch company KLM which in the future would be one of the leaders of the air industry. Other planes were delivered to various private companies in Great Britain.\u003cbr\u003eDuring operation of the airplane problems arose from some construction defects, which were mainly connected with the change of the center of gravity as it was adapted for passenger carrying. To eliminate them, the biplane box was slightly rejigged and the pilot's position was moved, allowing an improvement of stability in flight.\u003cbr\u003eMany planes of this type were sent to the British Empire's dominions - Canada, Australia, and South Africa. They were used there for a long time, the last one only finally scrapped due to complete disrepair in the late 1920's. The intensity of their exploitation is shown by the fact that merely in the years 1922-1923 planes of this type flew in total more than 150,000 miles. The last planes of this type, by then unsuitable for passenger use but still used for some postal traffic, were retired in 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47712746995997,"sku":"ROD435","price":72.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/ROD435.jpg?v=1786423741"},{"product_id":"roden-452-1-48-heinkel-he-51-b-1","title":"Roden 452 1:48 Heinkel He.51 B.1","description":"\u003cp\u003eErnst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke, the German aircraft manufacturing company, began the development of a single seat biplane fighter on their own initiative in the late 1920s. The HD37 model was the first outcome, and insufficiently successful, hence the license for its production was soon transferred to the USSR under the I-7 designation.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1932 the He 49 was created by brothers Walter and Siegfried Gunter. These two talented engineers laid the foundations of what in succeeding years became classic features of Heinkel aircraft - structural strength and an extremely elegant outline. The initial tests of the He 49 were generally satisfactory, but the Günters tried to create an even more advanced design. In the summer of 1933 the He 51A first flew into the sky - a machine which had inherited all the best aspects of its predecessor and demonstrated much better performance characteristics. The plane was rather easy to manage and had a strikingly elegant form. It made a big impression on the leaders of the Ministry of Aviation, and its nearest competitor the Arado Ar 65 - another biplane of similar design - made a weaker impression in comparison with the Heinkel aircraft. Even before the end of testing a production quantity of nine aircraft was ordered, which were delivered to the Luftwaffe in 1934. Despite some troubling accidents, Heinkel's faith in the plane was unbroken. In 1935, the first machines of the A variant came off the production line, and by the end of the year appeared the He 51B, a plane with improved performance and capable of carrying weaponry on an under fuselage bracket.\u003cbr\u003eIn August 1936, these planes flew operationally for the first time in the Spanish Civil War. The results of the first combat engagements were a little disturbing. The He 51 came off second best not only in comparison with the latest Soviet I-16, but even with machines of a similar design such as the I-15 or I-153. Despite all the favor for Heinkel's work shown by head of the Luftwaffe Hermann Göring, even he could not influence the fate of the He 51. Chief Inspector of the Luftwaffe Ernst Udet, hero of the First World War and a pilot of consummate skill himself, conducted several mock battles with the plane against the Arado Ar 68, piloted by the best pilots of the Luftwaffe. The He 51 lost repeatedly and its fate was sealed. Most of the machines constructed were transferred to training and other units.
