They were smaller, lighter and more aerodynamic. They consumed far less fuel while still allowing the towing of extremely heavy (20+ ton) loads. This was partially due to the use of a simple roof spoiler that reduced drag and partially to the extremely efficient V-8 engine that powered the truck.

Although the capability was never used operationally, the F-4J could also deliver nuclear weapons.

During the Indian Ocean raid, Vals were instrumental in destroying or driving off the entire British Indian fleet. Their 550 lb (250 kg) bombs ripped through ships, sending sailors to the bottom in one of the worst defeats the Royal Navy ever suffered.

Heavily armed with two 12.7mm machine guns and two wing-mounted cannons, the “Frank” was an equal in theory for anything fielded by the Allies. In practice, however, Japanese pilots were being rushed into the air with inadequate training and supplies of gas, parts and ammunition were low. The full potential of the Ki-84 wasn’t realized until the Allies tested it after the war.

In larger numbers the N1K2-J could have had a massive effect on the war, but only 428 were built. By comparison 12,000 Corsairs, comparable to the N1K2-J, were produced by the U.S. This kit features decals for two 343rd NFG aircraft. 08883 (Limited Edition) HSGS8883 Total Parts: 148 Skill Level: 3 AMT® 1/25 Scale Ford® LN 8000 Race Car Hauler Back after 30 years!

That must have been the question the designers of the Harrier asked when they built an aircraft which could operate from unprepared forward airbases. Their answer was the Harrier. This impressive aircraft is able to take off vertically thanks to thrust-vectoring nozzles. It does this while still carrying an extremely effective weapons and sensors array. The GR1 was the first full-production variant. It proved that the concept of VTOL was viable and effective.

Nowhere is safe… unless you’re being watched over by the RAFR. Royal Air Force Regiment personnel defend airbases against insurgents by proactively searching out and destroying them. In this role the Jackal, an armored and highly-mobile heavy weapons platform, is invaluable. It is fast, resistant to improvised explosive devices, and all-terrain capable. This allows crews to avoid ambushes and still accomplish their missions while providing heavy fire support. Kit features a Jackal and eight RAF Regiment models.

With a pilot like Herman Gram or Anton Hackl behind the controls, the odds of coming out unscathed were incredibly low. Both Gram and Hackl amassed roughly 200 confirmed kills, many of them in Fw 190s and many of Hackl’s against four-engine bombers. Though not uncommon in the Luftwaffe, these scores were astronomical by Allied standards. Kit features decals for Herman Gram, 1943 and Anton Hackl, 1944.

At its root, that is the logic behind the carpet bombing campaigns of WWII. To carry all those bombs, the RAF needed a new, heavier bomber. Short Brothers aviation stripped the bottom deck and floats off of one of its flying boats, added bomb bays and gun turrets, and the Stirling was born. Compared to contemporary bombers, it carried a larger bomb load over a longer range. Kit features decals for two RAF versions.

The Luftwaffe was a fading memory and German ground troops had no way to answer the strafing planes of their enemies. Harsh necessity drove them to develop weapons like this one, a pair of 55mm anti-aircraft guns mounted on an up-armored panzer chassis. Though the vehicles did help stem the slaughter, by 1945 there was little the Heer could do to stop the Allied advance.

It also made it surprisingly agile and easy to push into intense aerobatics. Many pilots with flight experience in cubs and other craft were stunned by the V-35s maneuverability. For the decades it was in production, the V-35 made a big impact wherever it went. In fact, the aircraft has many distance flight records; most notably one for a non-stop from Honolulu to New Jersey.

It carried four 20mm cannons and a choice of rockets or bombs. Had it been completed before the end of WWII it would have been an effective counter to the Me-262. As it was, the plane was introduced late in 1945 and primarily served to improve the overall design and performance of jet-powered aircraft.

As she was participating in a raid on an Italian convoy off the coast of Egypt, Barham was struck by three torpedoes from a U-boat. A cameraman caught the tragedy of the next four minutes on film. The ship heeled over and her magazines detonated, sealing the fate of over 800 officers and crew.
