The Spitfire Mk. V took to the skies in 1941. The aircraft was produced more than any other Spitfire variant and is regarded as outshining the Bf-109 and dominating the skies over Europe until the arrival of the Fw-190. The Mk. V was the staple fighter of the RAF through the summer of 1942, with variants introducing larger engines, armament, and wing types. Including all variants, 20,351 Mk. Vs were produced. This 1/48 scale die-cast metal model from HobbyMaster depicts the Spitfire MK. Vb GN-H, as flown by Robert Buck McNair of RCAF, as part of 249 Gold Coast RAF Squadron, stationed at Malta, around March 1942.

The arrival of the first two Lockheed-Martin F-35A Lightning II aircraft at RAAF Williamtown on 10 December 2018 not only marked the beginning of operations in Australia of the Air Force’s first fifth generation fighter, but also established the catalyst for the transformation of the Air Force into a fifth generation fighting force.

Possessing speed, agility, stealth technology, advanced datalinks, mission systems and sensor fusion; the F-35 is the most advanced multi-role stealth fighter in the world. With seventy-two aircraft and associated weapons, support equipment and logistics systems on order, the Australian F-35 program is the largest acquisition activity in the history of the RAAF.

F-35 Lightning II USAF AF08-0747 'First In Service' model is 1/144 scale and approximately 4 1/8 inches long with 2 7/8 inch wingspan. The F-35 variant A is a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) variant of Lockheed Martin's Joint Strike Fighter program. The F-35 is a stealth multi-role fighter aircraft used by the US Air Force and allied forces. It is the smallest, lightest version and is designed to replace both the F-16 Fighting Falcon and A-10 Thunderbolt IITM in the USAF fleet. The F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter, combining advanced stealth capabilities with fighter aircraft speed and agility. The F-35 is armed with a variety of weapons and can carry an impressive 18,000 pound payload on six external pylons and two internal bays. July 2011 the 58th Fighter Squadron of the 33rd Fighter Wing at the F-35 Integrated Training Center, Eglin AFB, FL received the first two F-35 planes. The U.S. Air Force declared the F-35 combat ready in August 2016.

Service for the Mirage 2000 began in 1984, and the last production aircraft was procured by the Hellenic Air Force in 2007. The Mirage 2000-5F was intended to be an export version, but the French Air Force did not receive enough interest to make it feasible, so existing aircraft were modified. In 1993, it was agreed to update the present aircraft, and work began in 1997, with its first delivery of 2000-5F in 2000. The French Air Force frequently participates in the multi-national air defense drill (NOMAD) inspired by the Belgian Air Force, an annual event at RAF Waddington. The first NOMAD exercise occurred in 1994, in which European Air Forces and non-European Air Forces with squadrons based in Europe participated. France also sent Mirages to participate in 2002's RAF Waddington Airshow, just as they did in other years. The RAF Waddington Airshow is considered by many the greatest in the UK. This die-cast model faithfully recreates the Mirage 2000-5, No. 188-EF, celebrating 100 Years of the SPA 88 Squadron, EC3/11 "Corse" 2017. The 1/72 scale die-cast is 19.68cm long and has a wingspan of 12.7cm.
