<p>The P-40 series was used on every battlefield in World War II as the main fighter of not only the U.S. Army Air Corps but also the Allied forces. Because it was easy to mass produce, easy to handle, and durable, it was used for ground attacks and anti-bomber combat. The P-40E is the first mass-produced model of which approximately 2,300 were produced, and compared to the previous type, the D-type, it has stronger armor and armament, making it more practical. The kit has a parts composition that pursues external accuracy and ease of assembly. The windshield can be opened or closed. The front and rear parts of the windshield are molded in clear and integrated with the fuselage panel, making them easy to adhere and create a beautiful finish. Includes pilot figure parts in a seated position. </p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly detailed plastic model kit</li> <li>Easy to assemble</li> <li>Detailed instructions</li> <li>Accurate markings and insignia</li> <li>Two types of decals are set from aircraft belonging to the US Army Air Corps</li> <li>Colors &amp; tools not included</li> <li>Requires paint and glue (Not Included) </li> </ul>

<p>As an aircraft that was able to conduct such combat during the Battle of Britain, it has definitely earned a spot in any Airfix collector's range! Also featuring two livery schemes, sprues and decals, you can recreate the legacy of the Boulton Paul Defiant aircraft today!</p><p>The Boulton-Paul Defiant was the only 'turret fighter' to enter service with the RAF. The Defiant used the philosophy that a fighter aircraft, armed solely with a turret bristling with machine guns would be able to enter a bomber stream causing havoc and the turret would also enable it to defend itself from enemy fighters.</p><p>During its first few engagements during the Battle of Britain in 1940, enemy pilots were taken by surprise and the Defiant fared well but soon the Luftwaffe pilots worked out its weaknesses, especially the lack of forward firing guns and the Defiant was soon relegated to night fighting duties were it fared better.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 15</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 4.79</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 16.6</li> <li>How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 70</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:72</li> <li>License line: BAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.</li> <li>Contents (what's in the box) sets: Sprues &amp; decals</li> <li>Finish: Plastic</li> <li>Number of Scheme options: 2</li> <li>Skill Level: 1</li> <li>Flying Hours: 1</li> <li>Wingspan (mm): 166</li> </ul>

<p>A universal and impressive 1/72 scale model aircraft base accurately reproducing the airfield surface covered with PSP (‘Marston Mat’) panels. Suitable for all types of smaller American aircraft in all theatres of operations of World War II and some later conflicts, as well as most aircraft of many other Allied air forces.</p> <p>Kit includes a link to a free download to the file for self-printing the accessory items on a 3D printer: fire extinguisher, wheel chocks, tool boxes, fuel barrels and British ‘flimsy’ fuel cans, wooden trestle. Once painted and optionally completed with pilot and crew figures, it makes an attractive and easy-to-make diorama.</p> <h3>Portable runway</h3> <p>The famous PSP stands for Pierced Steel Planking, also known as Marston Mat, used to reinforce the surface of airfields with perforated steel mats. They were mass-produced in the USA from the beginning of the Second World War and used in all theatres of war wherever the American air force appeared: in the Pacific, Europe, Africa and even Greenland!</p> <p>They were first used during the famous Carolina Manoeuvres in 1941, on which, before Pearl Harbor, the Americans tested the readiness of their armed forces for war. The US Air Corps commander, General ‘Hap’ Arnold, described the PSP on that ocasion as “the year’s greatest achievement in aviation warfare,”. This is also where the colloquial name of the invention, Marston Mat, came from, as it was near the town of Marston that the manoeuvres were held.</p> <p>Made from corrosion-resistant manganese steel, the individual mat weighed around 60 pounds. Holes allowed drainage and reduced the weight. Each piece was ringed with hooks to connect the mats into a permanent surface. A set of mats to build a complete runway could be carried within a cargo hold of one Liberty ship. Experienced builders were able to assemble it within 72 hours of unloading.</p> <h3>Universal model base</h3> <p>The plastic 1/72nd PSP Airfield base for a scale model is simple, but thanks to its accuracy and fine detail it allows even the less experienced modeller to make an impressive diorama. The crisp surface texture facilitates the use of various modelling techniques. To each base we add a link to free files for self-printing on a 3D printer with universal airfield equipment: fire extinguisher, toolboxes, fuel barrels, British ‘flimsy’ fuel cans, wheel chocks and wooden trestle. It is left to the modeller's creativity to make further additions to the small diorama, decide for yourself, will it be figures, vehicles, animals?</p> <p><em>Attention! Aeroplane model kit not included!<br></em><br><em>The product is available in the form of 3D files in STL format. It is a universal format for sharing 3D printable files.</em></p> <h3>Set includes</h3> <ul> <li>fire extinguisher<br> </li> <li>toolboxes<br> </li> <li>fuel barrels<br> </li> <li>British ‘flimsy’ fuel cans<br> </li> <li>wheel chocks<br> </li> <li>wooden trestle</li> </ul>
