<p>The Henschel Hs 126 was a German two-seat reconnaissance and observation aircraft of World War II that was derived from the Henschel Hs 122. The pilot was seated in a protected cockpit under the parasol wing and the gunner in an open rear cockpit. The prototype aircraft frame was that of a Hs 122A fitted with a Junkers engine. The Hs 126 was well received for its good short takeoff and low-speed characteristics which were needed at the time.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>3 different german markings for the early stages of the war when the type was used in its role of observation aircraft.</li> </ul>

<p>The Douglas D-558-1 Skystreak straddled two eras. Its jet engine was of a new age, but its low straight wing and conventional tailplanes were features familiar from the previous generation of WWII aircraft.</p> <p>Douglas built three D-558-1 aircraft for the US Navy and NACA. Although performance was hardly startling compared to its contemporary, the rocket powered Bell X-1, the D-558 still set a new official world speed record of 1031.049 kph on 20 August 1947.</p> <p>The D-558-1 was also capable of breaking the sound barrier in a dive.</p> <p><strong>Features:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Weight : 0.3163 kg</li> <li>Era : Postwar</li> <li>Origin : USA</li> <li>Edition : Special Hobby</li> <li>Scale : 1/48</li> <li>Type : Aircraft</li> <li>Product : Plastic kits</li> </ul> <p> </p>

<p>The Vought SB2U Vindicator was an American interwar / World War II on-board dive bomber with an all-metal low wing structure. The drive was provided by a single radial motor Pratt and Whitney R-1535-96 with 826 hp. The flight of the prototype took place in 1934, and the serial production was carried out in the years 1936-1937. In total, about 260 examples of this aircraft were built. The deck armament consisted of two 7.62 mm Browning machine guns. The machine could carry bombs weighing up to 500 kilograms on board.</p> <p>SB2U Vindicator was created for a competition announced by the US Navy in 1934 for a new reconnaissance and bomber plane to be based on aircraft carriers. The winner of this competition was the Vought aviation company, which proposed a monoplane layout, which turned out to be the first aircraft of this class with such a layout in the history of the US Navy. SB2U Vindicator planes from 1937 were included in the equipment of four aircraft carriers: USS Lexington, USS Saratoga, USS Ranger and USS Wasp. By the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific, it was already an outdated structure, but it fought in its first period, especially during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Aircraft of this type were also exported to France, where they served under the designation V-156-F, and to Great Britain, where they were used under the designation V-156 Chesapeake.</p> <p>From Academy comes this 1/48 scale USN SB2U-3 Battle of Midway kit. This kit comes with all the parts needed to build one model, as well as decals to get that final look! Photo and glue not included, but are required. </p> <p>This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.</p>
