<p>Developed from the L-749, the L-1049 Super Constellation first appeared in 1950. The transformation undergone by the L-749 was the longest extension ever made to a propeller airliner. The insertion of fuselage sections increased the length by 5,59 m. Other important modi?cations were the complete reinforcement of the airframe and the ?tting of rectangular portholes, the increase of tank capacity and the installation of new engines. The first L-1049 was put in service on December 15th, 1951 by Eastern. TWA and Eastern Air Lines had the largest fleets of "Super Connie" aircraft.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Parts: 97</li> <li>Packaging: 335 x 665 x 100 mm</li> </ul>

<p>The Messerschmitt Me410 was developed as a heavy fighter but went on to perform several roles such as night fighter, bomber destroyer and reconnaissance. Entering service two years later than scheduled in 1943 as a replacement for the Me210, the aircraft featured several distinctive features including the twin gun barbettes.</p><p>The Me410 was essentially a development of the 210 featuring a lengthened fuselage, revised wings and more powerful engines. Although the Me410 performed well, it entered service too late to make an impact on the tide of war and was soon relegated to reconnaissance roles.</p><p>The Messerschmitt Me410 is undoubtedly one of the most impressive looking aircraft types of the Second World War, the ultimate incarnation of Germany's fascination with the Zerstörer heavy fighter concept.</p><p>Today, just a single complete example of a Messerschmitt Me410 is to be found on display anywhere in the world, one of the prized aviation possessions maintained by the Royal Air Force Museum at their Midlands RAF Cosford site, the very aircraft Airfix scanned at the outset of this exciting new model tooling project.</p><p>Although an excellent and extremely heavily armed aircraft, the Me410 could not adequately defend itself against the latest Allied single engined fighters. No match for the latest Spitfires, Tempests, and P-51D Mustangs, once USAAF commanders freed their fighters from bomber protection duties and allowed then to go hunting the Luftwaffe, any advantage the heavily armed Me410s had were effectively negated and if caught in the gunsights of Allied fighters, they were unlikely to survive the encounter.</p><p>Production of the Messerschmitt Me410 ended during August 1944, when the manufacturing lines were switched to producing single engined Messerschmitt Bf 109G fighters for home defence duties, however by that stage in the war, things were already looking rather futile for the struggling Luftwaffe.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 17.5</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 4.5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 22.6</li> <li>How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 137</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:72 Scale</li> <li>Contents (what's in the box) sets: Plastic model kit, instruction sheet, paint layout sheet and decals.</li> <li>Finish: Plastic</li> <li>Number of Scheme options: 2</li> <li>Skill Level: 2</li> <li>Flying Hours: 2</li> </ul>

<p>Specially designed for close air support, the Warthog entered service in 1975.

<p>The Mirage IIICJ became the symbol of the Israeli air superiority during the wars with the neighbouring Arab countries. The Mach Two, high performance, delta wing fighter aeroplanes were produced by French Dassault, but the Israeli CJ version differed from the airframes built for the French military by not being fitted with the rocket booster motor. The Israeli Mirages took part in the War over Water, Six Day War, Attrition War and the Yom Kippur War as well as several more minor clashes. In its air superiority role, the Mirage did very well indeed, and many of their pilots quickly became aces.</p> <p>As many as seven styrene sprues plus one with clear parts in the kit are joined by a decal sheet with markings for four IAF machines with the earlier powerplant, the Atar 9B jet engine.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Superbly detailed model</li> <li>Colourful and eye-catching schemes and decals</li> <li>And also a ‘Black’ Mirage completely covered in soot from the explosion of an Arab jet that it had just shot down.</li> <li>Pre-cut masks also available, resin detail sets being developed at the moment</li> </ul>
