<p>The Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker is one of many military adaptations of the legendary Boeing 707 jetliner. Introduced in 1957, the KC-135 has been regularly upgraded throughout its service life. The KC_135 has seen over sixty years of continuous service with the USAF and has been used by numerous other countries around the world. This 1/144 scale kit from Academy provides two marking options.

<p>The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine fighter and attack aircraft, the first flight of which took place on July 27, 1972. The F-15 aircraft is the result of the experience gained from air combat over Vietnam, and is also the USAAF's response to the Soviet Mig-23 and Mig-25 fighters. It was created as part of the FX (Fighter Experimental) project, in which the winner was McDonnell-Douglas in 1969. When designing the F-15, particular emphasis was placed on the maximum reduction of service time. Mainly, on the one hand, it was based on the installation of elements that were as easy to use as possible, and on the other hand, the use of automatic systems, which kind of relieve people. As a result, the successor of the F-4 Phantom, surpassing it in all respects, can be served in half the time. Another strength of the F-15 is the pair of Pratt-Whitney F100 afterburner engines, which produce 4,500 kg more thrust than the machine itself weighs, allowing it to make tight turns without sacrificing great speed. In addition, it makes it possible to suspend a huge amount of additional weapons on 8 knots under the wings and fuselage. From the moment the F-15 entered service, several variants were created. The C and D versions are the second generation of single and double seater aircraft, respectively, replacing the A and B versions in 1979. Externally, they do not differ much from them, but the avionics underwent a comprehensive modification, which made the Eagle even more lethal weapon. In the 1980s, the F-15D also experimented with ASAT anti-satellite missiles. A version of the F15-E Strike Eagle was being developed at the same time. Contrary to the previous models, the E version is not only a hunting machine used for air superiority, but also an assault machine with a wide range of possibilities for attacks on ground targets. The E version entered service in 1988 and is expected to remain in the line until 2035. Another variant is the F-15J, exported and produced under license in Japan. F-15 aircraft were exported to several countries, including Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The F-15 turned out to be a very valuable machine, achieving air victories, among others. during Operation Desert Storm and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Technical data (version E): Maximum speed: 2660 km / h, climb speed: 255 m / s, practical ceiling 19500 m, maximum range: 5580 km, armament: fixed - 1 six-barrel M61A-1 20mm cannon, suspended - up to 10660kg load.</p> <p>Academy brings us a 1/72-scale model kit of the U.S. Air Force's air superiority fighter, the F-15C Eagle! This kit accurately expresses the cockpit, landing gear, various weapons (AIM-9X/AIM-120C), and the engine nozzle with the iris plate removed. Decals for three versions are included, centered on the 173rd Fighter Wing of the Oregon State Air Force (Medal of Honor winner David R. Kingsley memorial paint).</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.</p>

<p>The Nakajima B5N is a Japanese three-man bomber-torpedo aircraft in the low wing configuration of the Second World War. The flight of the prototype took place in 1937, and it was put into service a year later. The B5N was a response to the requirements of the Imperial Navy for the new on-board torpedo plane. Work on the construction, led by Katsuji Nakamura, continued in the years 1935-1937. When the war in the Pacific broke out, the B5N was an aircraft better than competing Allied machines, especially the TBD Devastator. The most widely produced version of the aircraft was the B5N2 Model 12, which was created in December 1939 and which used a new engine - Nakajima NK1A Sakae 11 with a power of 970KM. B5N planes took part in many battles in the Pacific and performed very well in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. From around 1943/1944, these aircraft were transferred to aviation schools and served as kamikaze aircraft. About 1150 copies of all versions were produced.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Complete interior (engine, cockpit, ammunition storage) included with the finest details</li> <li>Wings can be optionally folded like the original</li> <li>Stressed skin and other surface details faithfully reproduced</li> <li>Bombs and torpedoes included as armament transparent parts</li> <li>PE parts</li> </ul>

<p>The Martin T4M was an American torpedo bomber of the 1920s. A development by the Glenn L. Martin Company of their earlier Martin T3M, and, like it a single-engined biplane, the T4M served as the standard torpedo bomber aboard the aircraft carriers of the United States Navy through much of the 1930s.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Each sprue includes two aircrafts</li> <li>Total 204 for 12 aircraft.</li> </ul>

<p>The SPAD S.XIII was a French fighter plane of a mixed structure, with mainly wooden elements, in a biplane configuration. The drive was provided by a single Hispano-Suiza 8Be V-engine with 235 HP. The flight of the prototype took place on March 4, 1917, and serial production began in May that year, which was completed only in 1919 with the production of over 8,400 copies of this very successful aircraft.</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.</p>
