1/48 SCALE MITSUBISHI ® A6M5A ZERO FIGHTER<br />

TYPE 52 KOH “FIGHTER BOMBER”<br />

Outfox the Allies.<br />

As American warbirds grew in fi repower and speed, the Imperial Japanese Navy sought<br />

similar aircraft. One result of this search was the upgraded A6M5a Zero Type 52, which<br />

sported non-folding wing tips for faster diving and climbing. Today, many experts consider<br />

the A6M5a version to be the best Zero of all. This limited edition kit features new 250 kg<br />

bomb parts and two marking options: 1. I.J.N. 653rd N.F.G., 166th F.SQ., Code: 653-207,<br />

fl ying as late as 2005. The Draken’s distinctive “double-delta” confi guration – in which one<br />

delta wing lies within a larger delta – allowed for equal stabilization during high- and lowspeed<br />

fl ight. This limited edition kit features new engine nozzle parts and one marking<br />

The Luftwaffe’s leading ace.<br />

In his fi ve-year career, Walter Nowotny made his mark as a leading Luftwaffe fl ying ace.<br />

While he was stationed with Jagdgeschwader 54 (JG 54), Nowotny scored the majority of<br />

his combat “kills.” When JG 54 transitioned to the fast and nimble Focke-Wulf Fw 190A,<br />

there was no turning back. Nowotny averaged two or more “kills” a day with the Fw 190.<br />

By October of 1943, Nowotny had earned 250 victories! This limited edition kit features<br />

The iconic role that made Lugosi a star.<br />

A sci-fi fan favorite comes to life.<br />

Cybernetic Lifeform Nodes, or Cylons, are the robotic foes featured in both versions of “Battlestar<br />

Galactica.” On the 2004 “reboot,” the militaristic Centurions are often referred to as “toasters,”<br />

due to their shiny metal appearance. With their heavy armor, bladed fi ngertips, oscillating red<br />

eyes and retractable guns, Centurions have only one purpose: destroying humans. Luckily, the<br />

Colonial Fleet – with Commander Adama in charge – is ready to take on its mechanical foes.<br />

1968 marked two milestones for the Beatles. The fi rst was the animated fi lm, “Yellow<br />

Submarine.” This revolutionary, psychedelic animated fi lm took the Fab Four on a quest to save<br />

Pepperland from the music-hating Blue Meanies. The fi lm was a modest hit at the box offi ce,<br />

was – all together now – the legendary “White Album.” Kit features yellow plastic molding,<br />
