<p>The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVIII is based on the Rolls Royce Griffon powered Mk.XIV, featuring a whole host of improvements. From cockpit enhancements and increased fuel carrying capacity, to strengthened wings which allowed the aircraft to carry rockets or bombs, as well as its cannon and machine gun armament. These powerful Spitfires saw action during ‘Operation Firedog’, as well as against Communist guerrillas during the Malayan Emergency.</p><p>A variant of this famous fighting aeroplane which was the result of a desire to produce a 'Super Spitfire', the F Mk.XVIII was a further refinement of the Rolls Royce Griffon powered Mk.XIV, but one which incorporated a number of improvements over its predecessor. In addition to several cockpit enhancements for the pilot, the F Mk.XVIII also benefitted from increased fuel carrying capacity and strengthened wings, allowing it to carry either rockets or bombs in addition to its cannon and machine gun armament. With a total production run or 300 aircraft, the RAF would receive two versions of this fighter, the F.Mk.XVIII fitted with the standard E wing and the FR.Mk.XVIII, which included a camera for photo reconnaissance work. Too late to see service during WWII, these powerful Spitfires did see action as part of 'Operation Firedog' and actions against Communist guerrillas during the Malayan Emergency.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 21.3</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 7.6</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 20.7</li> <li>How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 157</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:48</li> <li>Contents (what's in the box) sets: Sprues &amp; decals</li> <li>Finish: Plastic</li> <li>Number of Scheme options: 2</li> <li>Skill Level: 3</li> <li>Flying Hours: 2</li> <li>Wingspan (mm): 234</li> </ul>

<div> <p>The North American P-51 Mustang is regarded by many as one of the most iconic American fighters of the Second World War. Designed to fulfil an RAF specification, the Mustang was transformed once the Rolls Royce Merlin engine was installed. The P-51D model's long range and excellent firepower made it a superb escort fighter, able to protect the bombers all the way to Berlin and back. The P-51 is recorded as being the top scoring Allied fighter of the war with 4,950 enemy aircraft destroyed. In 1948 the type designation for the Mustang changed to F-51D and it continued in USAF and RAAF service as a ground attack aircraft through the Korean War.</p> </div> <h4>Contains</h4> <ul> <li>Sprues</li> <li>Decals</li> </ul>
