BOOK REVIEW...BUY ON-LINE NOW WWW.AIRFIX.COM Their Finest Hour... Aircraft of the Battle of Britain. 'The most beautiful aircraft ever designed' is how many would describe the Spitfire today. Together with the more numerous and legendary fighter of the era, the Hurricane, in tandem these aircraft were successfully used to halt the advancing German war machine. The Hurricane was often 'the pilot's choice', being a sturdy aircraft that was also an excellent gun platform. But other aircraft too played their part in defending the British shores during the summer of 1940. This 80-page hardback book, by John G Bentley, takes a closer look at all of the aircraft that fought during the Battle of Britain, both British and German. This special edition has been produced for Airfix enthusiasts. A Special Limited Edition book by John G Bentley.

FORTHCOMING RELEASES We review the models available during the current quarter of the year, either recently released or planned for release over the coming quarter of 2010. The selection includes a lot of the new tooling promised for 2010, bringing you some superb Airfix kits across all categories and levels of expertise, from Starter and Series 1 kits right up to highly detailed and intricate model building projects. Military Aircraft – 1:72 scale A01071A Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a. This new tool in 1:72 scale comes with one finish option – that of the 610 Squadron as flown in 1940. The brand new kit celebrates the first real combat version of the brilliant WWII fighter plane, probably the most evocative of all the WWII aircraft which flew during the conflict. The Spitfire was the brainchild of R J Mitchell, developed and built at the Supermarine Works at Southampton. The Spitfire was the only Allied warplane kept in production throughout the conflict, with over 40 variants being developed and put into service. But it nearly didn’t make it. Initially, it was wanted by neither the Government nor the RAF but Mitchell’s persistence and his faith in the brilliantly designed aircraft ultimately paid off, with it entering service just in time to play such a major role in the Battle of Britain and beyond. A03081 Messerschmitt Bf110E. New Tooling. With its extended fuselage holding a life-raft at the tail, tropical filter to help prevent dust entering the engine, larger wheels for rougher airstrips and bomb racks added to the underside, the ‘E’ version of the Messerschmitt Bf1110 served throughout the Mediterranean and North Africa from 1941. The Airfix kit comes with two finish options – as flown by ‘8/JG26; or 3U + FR of 7/.ZG 26, Derna in May 1942. A03082 North American F-86F Sabre. New Tooling. The North American Aviation F-86 Sabre was a transonic jet fighter which entered service with the USAAF in 1951. This new Airfix kit comes with two finish options – as ‘The Huff’, 39th FIS, USAAF, Korea or as flown with the Italian Air Force. w w w . a i r f i x . c o m 4 A03083 North American Sabre Mk 4 – Canadair. New Tooling. This version of the Sabre was built under licence from the North American Aviation Inc. Many went into service with the RAF. The two finish options include an RAF version or as flown with the Greek Air Force. A02048A Messerschmitt Bf109E. Two new finish options. A02082A Hawker Hurricane Mk1. Two new finish options.

Military Aircraft – 1:24 scale This well detailed series of WWII and post-war military aircraft has also been refreshed with further finish options. A18003 Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR3. Three finish options, two of which are RAF and one from the USA. Military Aircraft – 1:48 scale A05122 Messerschmitt Bf109E Tropical. New Tooling. This ‘Tropical’ Airfix version of the Messerschmitt Bf109E follows on from A05020, which included the E-4 variant, reviewed extensively in Issue 11 of the Club magazine. The E-7 was the next major production variant after the E-4, entering service in August 1940. The E-7 had a longer range than the E-4 – a marked improvement - and was also the first to carry a drop tank. There are three finish options to choose from. New finish options on existing Airfix tooling in this category include the following: A05100 Junkers Ju87-B Stuka. Three new finish options to choose from.
