<p>In the mid-30s of the twentieth century, after Adolf Hitler came to power, began a significant withdrawal from the principles of the Versailles Agreement, which forbade Germany have a regular army and certain groups of troops, including aviation. More and more developments in secret mode turned into prototypes and went on trial to the army, given the possibility of their earliest production serialization in the context of changes in the domestic and foreign policy situation.</p> <p>At this time, biplane planes still played a significant role in aviation, although the prospect of a monoplane design was already apparently more promising. However, biplane, as in the Great War, was considered the best for air combat in view of the best maneuverability characteristics.</p> <p>In 1935, the aircraft manufacturing company Arado Flugzeugwerke GmbH suggested a new Arado 68 engine, which should replace their prior design Arado 65. The aviation guidance was somewhat cool in the project, as the Heinkel He51B, a second Heinel He51B fighter plane has already been tested, the main the characteristics of which satisfied the military, and therefore the future Arado 68 was facing a big problem. However, a number of disasters from the Heinkel He51B that occurred during the retraining of pilots on a new fighter aircraft allowed the Arado leadership to persuade the military to test their new aircraft, ensuring its superiority and safety comparing with Heinkel's design.</p> <p>In 1936, the head of the fighter action was the main character of the Personal World Ernst Udet, who made a good statement about the new development of Arado. He arranged an air battle between He51 and Ar68 himself, piloting a new plane, during which the benefits of the Ar68 reach more obvious. With the same maximum speed, the Ar68 had much better maneuverability and was much more stable in flight.</p> <p>In 1937, when the fighter began to enter the ranks of the Luftwaffe, the biplane era steadily reached to its logical conclusion. It was Ar68 that became the latest of Luftwaffe fighter planes. Together with other up-to-date developments, he (in three units) was sent to a true military trial of a civil conflict in Spain, where he was used not only as a fighter, but also as a lightweight strike aircraft to support ground troops. And only the appearance of the Republican troops of the newest Soviet I-16 forced the military not to direct Ar68 in maneuverable combat, since the advantage of a monoplan fighter, above all at speed, was more than substantial.</p> <p>In the ranks of the Luftwaffe Ar68 were transferred to the training units in the pre-war years, but some of them were used as night fighters until the end of 1941.</p>

<h3>MAC 72120 1/72 Bristol Scout First WWI Aces Markings Plastic Model Kit</h3>

<p>Sometimes from warships, sometime through the freezing cold mountains, and sometimes in the skies above the jungle. The most reliable plane, known as a "Flying Tough Guy"<br><br>No major modifications were made from the A-1H to the A-1J, and both the wing folding mechanisms and arresting hook remained unchanged. Changes made for the Air Force type mainly impacted the antennas, with the UHF blade antenna being added to the rear of AN/ARN-6 radio loop compass antenna and the FM622 whip antenna behind the cockpit. There were also Skyraiders that had a VHF/FM antenna (commonly called the "towel hanger") on the fuselage underside immediately behind the air brake, and a blade antenna just in front of the anti-collision light (ACL) on the tip of the vertical stabilizer.Also, taking the unpaved runways of Southeast Asia into account, a larger wheel was installed on the rear landing gear assembly, and the main landing gear assemblies were converted into single-piece types. Additional features included the taxiing lights on the underside tips of both right and left main wings, as well as the "Yankee Extraction System" that was missing from earlier model Skyraiders. Of course, all of these features are fully recreated for the SWS A-1J. When telling of the Vietnam War, this aircraft simply cannot be overlooked, with its heroic figure painted in the three colors of the characteristic SEA scheme. We certainly hope that you will recreate it atop your table through the SWS kit.</p> <p> </p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>SCALE : 1/32 scale</li> <li>MODEL : Plastic Model Kit (2-color molded parts including clear.)</li> <li>PARTS : Total Parts: 344</li> <li>Air Force Yankee extraction seat (with and without belt/shoulder harness)</li> <li>Canopy is movable</li> <li>Canopy masks included</li> <li>Centerline external fuel tank</li> <li>Choice of : A-1H or A-1J configurations, A-1H or A-1J wheel hubs, A-1H or A-1J wing tips (A-1J tips have retractable landing lights), open or closed cowl flaps, open or closed cowl shutters, pilot's seats, weighted or lightly weighted gear struts</li> <li>Cockpit subassembly also includes hydraulic service bay, main fuel cell bay, and avionics bay</li> <li>Cowling panels can be left off to show off engine</li> <li>Detailed cockpit (even without the color photo-etch)</li> <li>Detailed landing gear wells</li> <li>Detailed R3350 engine</li> <li>Detailed wing gun bays with removable access doors</li> <li>Hinged wings can be folded and unfolded after assembly</li> <li>Navy bucket seat (with and without belt/shoulder harness)</li> <li>Optional parts can be inserted for folded wings (actuators and support struts)</li> <li>Positionable ailerons</li> <li>Positionable elevators</li> <li>Positionable flaps</li> <li>Positionable rudder</li> <li>Speed brakes are movable</li> <li>Two inboard drop tanks</li> </ul> <ul></ul>
