Kit Features:

• 2x Supermarine Spitfire

• Option parts for Early Mk.I, Mk.II and Mk.I PR Spitfire

• Full colour instructions

• Die cut canopy masks

• Decals by Cartograf

Featuring many variant and option parts on the sprues, the kits can be assembled as a number of early Spitfire marks. Additionally, the landing gear can be modelled as lowered or retracted, as well as optional bladeless propeller spinners to represent the aircraft in flight.

To aid painting, die cut canopy masks are included, which fit the Spitfire “blown” style canopy.

This kit contains high quality waterslide decal markings made by Cartograf, for two aircraft:

• Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia, P9546, No. 19 Squadron, RAF Duxford, September 1940. Flown by Flight Sergeant George “Grumpy” Unwin

• Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia, N3250, No. 92 Squadron, RAF Croydon, May 1940. Flown by Pilot Officer Allan Wright.

The most numerous of all British fighter aircraft produced during the Second World War, the Spitfire was conceived as a high speed interceptor by R. J. Mitchell, chief engineer of Supermarine. The first prototype flew in 1936 and made an instant impression. The Mk.Ia variant was powered by the formidable Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine and armed with eight .303 machine guns. Several improvements and upgrades had been made by the time the aircraft was in service with the Royal Air Force during 1940 such as an armoured windscreen, blown canopy and three bladed propellers. This fast and nimble aircraft had superb flying qualities, which made it so beloved by the pilots who flew it.

Kit Features:

• 2x Messerschmitt Bf109E

• Option parts for E-1, E3, E-7/Tropical Bf109

• Full colour instructions

• Die cut canopy masks

• Decals by Cartograf

• 2x Marking Schemes Included

Featuring many variant and option parts on the sprues, the kits can be assembled as any of the Bf109 “Emil” series. Additionally, the landing gear can be modelled as lowered or retracted, as well as optional bladeless propeller spinners to represent the aircraft in flight.

To aid painting, die cut canopy masks are included which fit the Bf109 late production style canopy.

This kit contains high quality waterslide decal markings made by Cartograf, for two aircraft:

• Messerschmitt Bf109E-4: W.Nr.1433, Stab I./JG3, France, September 1940. Flown by Hauptmann Hans von Hahn.

• Messerschmitt Bf109E-3: W.Nr.1526, Stab III./JG2, France, May 1940. Flown by Major Erich Mix.

The versatile and capable Bf 109 first flew in 1935 and was then improved over several variants up to the end of the Second World War. Well liked by pilots, it provided the mainstay of the Luftwaffe’s fighter aircraft squadrons throughout that time. By 1940, most Bf 109 units were equipped with the E-3 and E-4 variants of the “Emil.” These variants were well armed with both cannons and machine guns, as well as being fast and agile. However, early E models lacked combat endurance over Britain until later variants addressed this limitation. In skilled hands, the Bf 109 E was a formidable opponent and the aircraft played a pivotal role in the Battle of Britain.

Kit Features:

• 1 x RAF Dispersal Hut model

• Chimney and scramble bell features

• Table and Duckboard accessories

• Clear plastic windows

• Laser cut wood + 3D printed details

This model represents an RAF dispersal hut, a common sight on RAF airfields in Britain throughout the Second World War. This laser cut kit contains MDF structures, birch veneer features and clear plastic windows. A table and duckboards are also included as accessories.

During the Battle of Britain, RAF airfields came under heavy attack from the Luftwaffe with frequent daylight bombing raids. This was an attempt to cripple the RAF and give the Luftwaffe air superiority over Britain so that an invasion by sea would be possible. The RAF quickly adapted to these raids, and responded with effective use of fighter assets in the air as well as re-organising airfields to minimise damage and reduce the time needed to return to operational status after an attack. One such tactic was to place small clusters of aircraft around the airfield rather than concentrated in main hangars and buildings. This “dispersal” of aircraft and personnel meant that it was difficult for raiding aircraft to effectively attack ground targets spread around the airfield. Many simple temporary or prefabricated structures were built to provide pilots and ground crew with shelter and somewhere to be close to their aircraft while on alert, in case they were scrambled. This model is a typical example of a wooden dispersal hut, with a simple stove chimney, and asbestos or felt roof.
