The Isshiki Rikujo Kogeki ki (Isshikirikko), or Type 1 Land-Based Attack Aircraft, was more widely known as the G4M (Allied reporting name "Betty"). It was widely used by the Japanese Navy during WWII, as was particularly notable for contributing to the sinking of the British battleship Prince of Wales and battlecruiser Repulse near the beginning of the war. This kit accurately reproduces the Model 11, or G4M1, variant of this bomber, including its rotund, cigar-shaped fuselage. The flaps, engine cowl flaps, dorsal gun position, and upper part of the front canopy can all be assembled in either open or closed positions. Parts for a Type 91 torpedo, twelve 60kg bombs, and three crew figures, as well as six marking options are also included.

The P-40 earned undying fame as the "Flying Tiger" of World War 2 when flown by General Claire Chennault's Volunteer Group fighting the Japanese in China and Burma. It also saw much service in the Middle East where it was used by Britain's R.A.F. and nicknamed the Tomahawk and Kittyhawk. When World War 2 broke out, the P-40 was the only fighter available in quantity to the U.S.A.A.F., it being the first American single-seat plane to be manufactured in the U.S. on a mass production basis. By the end of the war, over 14,000 planes had been delivered to fighting theatres.

No fighter of World War 2 is more deserving of fame than the Supermarine Spitfire. During the Battle of Britain, the Spitfires blunted the attack of the German Luftwaffe and buoyed British hopes in their darkest hour. It also flew in every front between 1939 and 1945 and was engaged in every major action fought by the R.A.F. in that time

Now with LASER CUT BALSA PARTS!!!

During the war, the Messerschmitt fought on every front in which the German Luftwaffe was engaged

B-25J Mitchell. Made by Hasegawa, scale 1/72 plastic kitset.
Hasegawa has done it AGAIN! Their B-25 doesn't just raise the bar for 1/72 kits, it puts it in orbit! This kit features a full interior - cockpit, bomb-bay, rear gunner's area, bombardier's area, etc. The internal rib structure is fully represented, all the boxes and gear is there, the seats even have the lap belts molded in and the guns have dimpled cooling jackets! It's like a certain 1/48 kit got pantographed down! Surface detail is also exquisite, with very crisp recessed panel lines and raised detail where appropriate. Decals are included for 3 planes, all "gunships" with extra .50 cals in the glass nose: "Jaunty Jo" and "Miss B Havin" of the 498th BS, and "Bottoms-Up II" of the 486th BS. Although not called for in the instructions, the kit also features the "standard" nose glass for a stock B-25J if you do not want to build a "gunship".
