<p>In 1959 the Swiss aircraft manufacturing company Pilatus created the PC-6 Porter, a lightweight multi-purpose single-engine plane with a 340 hp Lycoming GSO-480 engine. The plane was only built in small numbers (72), but despite its apparent simplicity its design showed great potential for a variety of applications. Two years later appeared the PC-6/A Turbo Porter with a 520 hp Turbomeca Astazou turboprop engine which improved on its predecessor in every important respect. Later another engine was installed in the plane, the 550 hp Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada PT6A. On both sides of the fuselage in this 'B' version, as well as sliding doors on each side, there were individual pilot's doors. As in the PC-6A the nose was straightened with an elongated shape in cross section. In the PC-6/B2-H2 modification a 680 horsepower engine was installed, which improved the capability of the aircraft even more.</p>

<p>The GR9A entered service in October 2006 as an updated and improved version of the already very successful Harrier GR7. Boasting an improved avionic suite, as well as a much improved weapons capability, the GR9A represents a substantial leap forward in capability over the older GR7 Harriers.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 19.8</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 4.79</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 13</li> <li>How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 126</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:72</li> <li>Contents (what's in the box) sets: Sprues, decals, paints, glue &amp; brush</li> <li>Finish: Plastic</li> <li>Number of Scheme options: 1</li> <li>Skill Level: 2</li> <li>Flying Hours: 1</li> <li>Wingspan (mm): 130</li> </ul>

<p>Hasegawa offered up what is easily the best model of the Zero ever produced with their early-type Model 21, etc. kits in 1997. Now, they've turned their attention to their dated Model 52 kit and given it entirely new wing and fuselage parts. The company's pride in what is the most famous Japanese aircraft ever built shows through! Detail is absolutely brilliant throughout -- you won't need any resin detail sets for this one. No fit problems at all. Markings for a 302nd Naval Flying Group plane flown by Ens. Sadaaki Akamatsu, and a 653rd Group plane flying off Zuiho. Shigeo Koike box art. Highly recommended.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Size/Weight: 34 x 19 x 5 cm / 250g</li> <li>Scale: 1/48</li> </ul>

<p>The Boeing B-47 Stratojet is an American medium-range strategic bomber in a mid-wing design, powered by six jet engines, capable of reaching subsonic speeds. Its main task was to penetrate the airspace of the USSR and drop nuclear bombs on objects located there. The prototype's first flight took place in December 1947, and introduction into service began in the summer of 1951. In the 1950s, the B-47 was the basic strategic strike force of the USAAF in a hypothetical clash with the Soviet Union. During serial production, 2,040 units of all versions of the aircraft were produced, the largest of which were version E. The B-47 Stratojet was finally withdrawn from service in 1966. Technical data: Maximum speed: 977 km/h, rate of climb: 23.7 m/s, maximum ceiling 10,100 m, operational range: 3,240 km, armament: fixed - 2 M24A1 cannons, caliber 20 mm, underwing - up to 11,000 kg of bombs.</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.</p>

<p>The Air France A380 is equipped with GP7200 engines produced by Engine Alliance with a thrust of 311 kN. This powerplant enables the A380 to fly at more than 900 km/h despite its impressive weight.</p> <p>The different parts of the aircraft are produced over sixteen sites across the whole of Europe, as well as one site in Indonesia and another in India. The various component units are then put together at the final assembly line on the Toulouse-Blagnac site.</p> <p>Two initial aircraft entered into service in late 2009. Number “F-HPJA” was the first to receive the new Air France livery, which will eventually feature on the entire fleet. By this date, Airbus-Industrie had received a firm order from Air France for 24 A380 aircraft.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Parts: 239</li> <li>Packaging: 335 x 665 x 100 mm</li> </ul>
