BELL P-39Q "AIRACOBRA"
Description: The Airacobra saw combat throughout the world, particularly in the Southwest Pacific, Mediterranean and Russian theatres. Because its engine was not equipped with a supercharger, the P-39 performed best below 17,000 feet altitude. It often was used at lower altitudes for such missions as ground strafing.
Description: The Focke Wulf 190 was one of the outstanding fighter aircraft of World War two with over 20,000 being manufactured. The Fw190 D were nicknamed the "long-nosed Dora" because of the lengthened nose that was an improvement from the A series.
Description: Probably the most iconic of all aircraft, brought to the public’s attention following its feats during the Battle of Britain. This first real combat version of the brilliant fighter is celebrated with this brand new, fully detailed Airfix kit that captures the shape of the much loved Spitfire perfectly.
