The Supermarine Seafire was a naval version of the Supermarine Spitfire adapted for operation from aircraft carriers. It was analogous in concept to the Hawker Sea Hurricane, a navalised version of the Spitfire's stablemate, the Hawker Hurricane. The name Seafire was derived from the abbreviation of the longer name Sea Spitfire.

The Fw-190D interceptor was considered by many German pilots to be the finest piston-engined fighter in Luftwaffe service.

The Fw-190D was a re-engined and reengineered development of the widely-used Fw-190A. Prototype testing began in March 1942.The first production variant was designated D-9. Construction started in Summer 1944. The multirole D-9 carried bombs in some versions and radar in others and was even faster than the D-1. Nicknamed "Dora-9", service began in October 1944 with III/JG-54 (the 3d Squadron of Fighter Group 54), then I and II/JG-26 (by January 1945), and JG-2 and JG-301 (in early 1945). Allied and Luftwaffe pilots immediately dubbed it the "long-nose" Fw-190. On their first operational mission with the new Fw-190D-9, II/JG-26 shot down four British "Lancaster" bombers and one "Mosquito" fighter for the loss of one "Dora-9". Several Fw-190D-9 equipped groups, including JG-2 and JG-26, participated in airfield attacks by nearly 1,000 aircraft during the ill-advised "Operation Base Plate" opening the Battle of the Bulge on January 1, 1945. By the time JG-6 received 150 D-9s in April 1945, the bombing campaign had so restricted fuel supplies that only four aircraft could fly at a time. Development continued with the D-10 through-15 versions, all of which were to be multi-role interceptor/ground-attack fighters with a wide variety of engines-the Daimler-Benz DB-603A and EB, the Junker Jumo 213EB and F with and without water methanol injection. Further development followed as the Ta-152. Between 650 and 700 Fw-190Ds were completed when production ceased in 1945.

Tupolev TB-1 was a Soviet monoplane bomber that served as the backbone of the Soviet bomber force. First flying in 1924, this plastic model represents the plane in seaplane float configuration.

High quality, precision plastic model kit. Paint and glue not included. Requires assembly and painting. For intermediate to advanced skill modellers.

The An-225 “Mriya” was designed in Ukrainian SSR for the needs of Soviet space program. In 80’s of XX century, Soviet Union finalized its work on "Buran" shuttle and had a need of carrier aircraft, being able to deliver the shuttle to Baikonur Cosmodrome.

The first and the only airplane was built at Kiev Mechanical Plant in 1988. The An-225’s design succeed many technical features from An-124, for example: fuselage has the same cross sections(but being longer), wing console was pretty the same, landing gear used same scheme, but having increased quantity of wheels (32 pcs). The plane was powered by 6 D-18T engines (the same type used in An-124). The single vertical stabilizer, being common in transport airplanes aerodynamic schemes was changed to a twin tail with an oversized, swept-back horizontal stabilizer. The twin tail was essential to enable the plane to carry large, heavy external loads that would disturb the airflow around a conventional tail. Unlike the An-124, the An-225 was not intended for tactical airlifting and was not designed for short-field operation.

The aircraft was first shown to the public on 1st February, 1989. Few months later, the An-225 delivered Buran on its back to Baikonur. The An-225 Mriya airplane set 240 world records. After closing the space program “Energy – Buran”, An-225 was used and still being used to transport oversized cargo over long distances.
