<h3>Trumpeter 03201 1/32 F-14A Tomcat</h3> <p>The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing aircraft.It first flew on 21 December 1970. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night LANTIRN system. The F-14 was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat against MiGs during the Vietnam War. The F-14 first deployed in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS Enterprise, replacing the F-4 Phantom II。 The first 12 F-14As were prototype (sometimes called YF-14As). Modifications late in its service life added precision strike munitions to its armament. The US Navy received 478 F-14A aircraft and 79 were received by Iran. The final 102 F-14As were delivered with improved TF30-P-414A engines. Additionally, an 80th F-14A was manufactured for Iran, but was delivered to the US Navy.</p>

<p>Aircraft in WWI often became obsolete, though having barely taken to the air. The fast pace of invention in aircraft design often led to nothing, and some ideas and developments became outmoded, which a year or two before had been considered as progressive and innovative. However, some design approaches, which might be considered simple in many respects, ensured not only great success for certain aircraft, but also a kind of rebirth in later types and variants. One such aircraft was the Nieuport 17, which can undoubtedly be named among the ten most famous types of the Great War. Built in 1916 it became a real salvation for the Allies' air arms and was built in large numbers.</p>

<p>The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was the Japanese Navy’s main fighter throughout the course of WWII. In the latter half of the war, the Model 22 was refined to create the Model 52 to counter new U.S. aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning and F4U Corsair. It featured 50cm shorter wings with rounded wingtips, individual exhaust pipes and top speed of 565km/h. A6M5a was produced with a larger capacity (125 rounds) belt-type cannon ammunition system in February 1944. The Model 52 first saw action during the closing stages of the Solomons campaign in the autumn of 1943 and went on to fight in the skies above the Marianas, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, as well as Japan itself, until the end of the war. </p> <h3>Feature</h3> <ul> <li>Length: 190mm, width: 229mm</li> <li>Zero fighter’s elongated proportions from nose to tail and the exquisite engine cowling are all accurately reproduced thanks to a complete measurement of the actual plane.</li> <li>Highly detailed cockpit and main landing gear well parts.</li> <li>Choice of an up or down flaps, as well as open or closed cowl flap.</li> <li>A6M5a with belt-type cannon ammunition system can be recreated.

<p>In 1948 the USAF (United States Air Force) signed a contract with the Ryan company to develop a jet-powered unmanned aircraft intended as a target for training purposes. The prototype drone, named XQ-2, made its first flight in 1951. Following successful testing, it entered service with the USAF as the Q-2A (also known as the Firebee). A slightly modified version, designated KDA-1, was operated by the military fleet. In the late 1950s, a new contract was awarded between the USAF and Ryan for a significantly improved “second-generation” Firebee – the Model 124, initially designated as the Q-2C. It went into production in 1960, and three years later, its designation was changed to BQM-34A. This drone featured an enlarged fuselage, longer wings, and a unique intake port under the pointed nose. The US Navy also adopted the BQM-34A, while the Army received a ground-launched version called the MQM-34D with a JATO (Jet-Assisted Take-Off) booster. These drones were used for training anti-aircraft defense crews.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Model size (length x width): 110 x 81 mm; 146 x 82 mm<br> </li> <li>Box size: 247 x 183 x 33 mm<br> </li> <li>Number of details: 29 +36</li> </ul> <!---->

<p>The HEMTT M984 is a Wrecker, 8 x 8, heavy expanded mobility tactical truck wrecker, heavy duty crane and winch. It provides heavy wheeled recovery and crane recover/tow/maintenance lift assistance) to 10-ton and lighter tactical wheeled vehicles. It's lift-and-tow system can recover disabled vehicles in two to three minutes.</p> <p>The M984 wrecker is the only HEMTT variant to have been produced in A1 configuration, and this resulting in the change of recovery crane and retrieval system between A0 and A1 configurations. The current model is the M984A4. Standard equipment includes a 27,240 kg capacity two-speed recovery winch, a rear-mounted 11,340 kg capacity vehicle retrieval system, and a 6,350 kg at 2.74 m capacity Grove materials handling crane. A 9,072 kg bare drum capacity self-recovery winch is fitted as standard on the M984.</p>
