<p>Albatros D.III The Albatros D.I and Albatros D.II, introduced in 1916, were two of the best planes of their time. They had very good flying characteristics and were structurally strong. However, the pace of technical progress during this period was very quick, and soon the Allies had again taken the initiative, having come up with the outstanding Nieuport 11 Bébé. For a short time it drove the Fokker monoplanes from the sky, creating a new myth about the superior qualities of biplanes. The Nieuport 11 was not a standard biplane, but a sesquiplane: its bottom wing was much smaller in area and chord dimension than the top. It gave the plane increased maneuverability and improved the pilot's view from the cockpit. The dominant feature of aerial combat was the short distances between planes, so these two factors were of prime importance.</p> <h3>Contents</h3> <ul> <li>Plastic sprue, Decalsheet (waterslide)</li> </ul>

<p>The F-100C model first flew in March 1954 and 456 of this fighter/bomber aircraft were produced.The C model was fitted with additional fuel tanks in the wings, external store pylons under the wings so it could carry 6,000 pounds of bombs and additional external fuel tanks.Later production aircraft used the upgraded J57-P-21 engine.</p> <p>An air refueling capability was also added to the C models. The air refueling probe initially extended straight forward of the leading edge of the right wing. The aircraft was flown behind a tanker aircraft with a long refueling hose and basket.The pilot moved forward,plugged the probe into the basket and maintained forward pressure during the fuel transfer. This straight probe was difficult to use and was later reconfigured with an upward bend to raise the height and extend the end of the probe.</p> <p>The United States Air Force Thunderbirds performed in the F-100C from 1956 until 1964.</p> <p>Engine: One Pratt &amp; Whitney J57-P-21/21A turbojet, 10,200 lb.st. dry and 16,000 lb.st. with afterburning.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Fuselage</strong> - Detailed fuselage w/ accurate design</li> <li> <strong>Wing</strong> - Optional position flaps</li> <li> <strong>Engine</strong> - Highly detailed Engines</li> <li> <strong>Interior</strong> - Finely detailed cockpit,gear cabin, crew seats with photo-etched seat belts and harnesses.</li> <li> <strong>Tire</strong> - Grooved rub</li> </ul>

<p>In what would often be a very personal dual fought in the skies above Europe between airmen from Allied and Axis air forces, the struggle for aerial supremacy raged throughout the Second World War. But the summer of 1944 witnessed the introduction of the new 'D' variant of the North American Mustang. Arguably the finest fighting aeroplane of the entire war was now hurled against what remained of the Luftwaffe, a force which included less experienced pilots and older variants of the famous Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter. In capable hands though, the Bf 109F Friedrich was still a deadly adversary.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 13.7</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 15.8</li> <li>How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 31/30</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:72 Scale</li> <li>License line: Produced under license.

<p>This model kit from Aoshima reproduces the characteristics of the Ta152H-0 by expressing the differences in the hatches on the underside of the main wing, which are quite different from those on the mass-produced Ta-152H-1. The canopy can be built opened or closed; a pilot figure is included.</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.</p>
