<h3>Messerschmitt Bf-109G-10/Avia C-10 ‘Vigorous Fighter’ (2in1 = 2 kits in 1 box)</h3> <p><strong>(Luftwaffe, Czechoslovak AF)</strong></p> <p>The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German fighter aircraft designed in the mid-1930s and it represented the first modern fighter of the era. Originally conceived as an interceptor, later models were developed to fulfil various roles, such as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, day and night fighter, ground-attack or reconnaissance. Various armament modifications evolved in service, using pre-packaged or field kits. The aircraft was of an all-metal monocoque construction, featuring an enclosed canopy and a retractable landing gear.</p> <p>The G-series aircraft were introduced in mid-1942. The initial variants differed only in minor details from its predecessor, the Bf 109F, most notably in the more powerful engine. Except some early aeroplanes, the bulk of Bf 109G-10s were fitted with DB 605D engines and featured the Erla clear-view canopy, large main wheels with corresponding large oblong wing bulges, deeper oil cooler under the nose and tall tail fin.</p> <p>The first Bf 109G-10s appeared in service in November 1944 and the following variants were produced: G-10 light fighter (with two MG 131 guns and a single MG 151/20 gun in the nose), G-10/R2 recce fighter, G-10/R6 bad-weather fighter and G-10/U4 fighter (equipped with an engine-mounted MK 108 cannon). In total, about 2,600 aircraft were produced by Erla, Messerschmitt, WNF and Diana factories.</p> <p>After the war, a small batch of 21 Avia C-10 fighters (later designated the S-99) were completed to serve with the Czechoslovak Air Force and Police Air Force.</p>

<h3>Roden 610 1/32 Siemens Schuckert D.III</h3> <p>Siemens-Schuckert DI was a German biplane fighter with fixed landing gear from the First World War. The drive was provided by a single 110 HP Siemens-Halske Hs.I engine. The prototype took off in 1916 and in the same year serial production began, which resulted in the creation of 95 aircraft. The deck armament consisted of two 7.92 mm lMG 08/15 machine guns.</p> <p>Siemens-Schuckert DI was created as a German response to the very successful French fighter Nieuport 17, which appeared on the front line in March 1916. The German label decided to rely heavily on captured French machines and used many solutions used in them. The main difference was in the engine used. As early as November 1916, the German armed forces placed an order for 150 Siemens-Schuckert DI aircraft, however production was very slow and encountered numerous problems - mainly of organizational nature. This led to a marked reduction in the order and a shift of effort to the Albatros D.III. Interestingly, a huge part of the produced Siemens-Schuckert DI went to aviation schools.</p>
