Arguably the most effective version of the He III series and certainly the one that was built in most numbers, the Heinkel He III ‘H’ attempted to address some of the shortcomings of the earlier models and upgrade the performance of this widely used aircraft. Although German ministers thought that they were being clever in classifying the original He IIIs as airliners, the design parameters that had to be adhered to, in order to satisfy this deception, dictated that the bomb carrying capabilities of Luftwaffe aircraft was woefully inadequate. In actual fact, the aircraft was capable of carrying more bombs than its weapons bay could hold.
Also, the Battle of Britain clearly illustrated that whilst the Heinkel could not really be described as being obsolete, it was seriously out-dated in terms of manoeuvrability and defensive firepower and most of the Allied fighters of the day were capable of shooting it down. Unfortunately, without the benefit of a suitable replacement aircraft, the Heinkel would have to soldier on and despite beginning to show its age, was still in production right up until the final few months of the war.
Perhaps the most interesting missions carried out by ‘H’ model Heinkel He IIIs was that of the torpedo carrying maritime attack bomber. Used in both the Battle of the Atlantic and against targets in the Mediterranean and on the Eastern Front, Luftwaffe units enjoyed notable successes against Allied shipping, until the weight of Allied air superiority began to take its toll of experienced torpedo bombing crews. As less experienced crews began to fly these missions, success rates plummeted and loss rates continued to cause concern.
This will be a highly detailed model and will include a number of significant new parts:
- Junkers Jumo 211 engines
- Large ‘paddle’ propellers
- External weapons hard points
- One 1000kg ‘Hermann’ bomb
- Two LT F5b air launch torpedoes
- Improved defensive gondola, under the fuselage (several new parts)
- New weapons and gun positions

Bristol Beaufighter TF.X
SGD$65.00
The definitive variant of the Beaufighter and certainly the one most heavily produced, the TF.X was a two seat torpedo strike fighter, known colloquially as the Torbeau. Carrying a combination of rockets, cannon and an 18 inch mark XII torpedo, these rugged aircraft attacked shipping at high speed and low altitude, often with rocket firing Beaufighters drawing anti-aircraft fire so the torpedo equipped aircraft could deliver their weapons more effectively.

Jaguar 420
SGD$48.00
Introduced at the 1966 London Motor Show, the Jaguar 420 was a compact sporting saloon in the familiar Jaguar mould. Powered by a 4.2litre straight six, the 420 produced a good 245BHP and proved to be a good handling and powerful saloon of the period. The Airfix model has been unavailable for some time and has therefore become highly collectable, therefore making this new piece a worthy addition to any collection!

Fiesler Storch 1:72
SGD$22.90
One of the great Luftwaffe aircraft of the Second World War, the ungainly looking Fieseler Storch may not have commanded the same respect as the fast and agile Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, yet its low speed handling and short field performance was without equal.
Messerschmitt Me262a-1a
SGD$38.90
Described by famous British test pilot Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown as the most formidable aircraft of WWII, the Messerschmitt Me 262 was a quantum leap in aviation performance terms and stands as one of the most significant aircraft in the history of flight. Had the Luftwaffe been able to deploy large numbers of these impressive fighters, they would have taken a heavy toll of Allied aircraft.

Top Gun F5-E Tiger II "THE MIG" 1/72
SGD$42.25
The Mig-28s that flew at the start and again at the end of the first Top Gun movie were actually Northrop F-5E Tigers flown by the U.S. Navys Aggressor Squadrons. These fictitious hostiles were finally defeated by the triumphant Top Gun aces at the end of the film, albeit after one loss during the dogfight.

Hawker Tempest Mk.V
SGD$30.00
An aircraft which has to be considered one of the finest aeroplanes of the Second World War. The Hawker Tempest V entered Royal Air Force service in early 1944 and was a real brute of an aeroplane, fast, heavily armed, and possessing performance that could better any fighter the Luftwaffe had in service.

deHavilland Tiger Moth
SGD$22.50
Still a familiar sight at airfields all over the world, the de Havilland Tiger Moth primary trainer made its first flight back in 1931 and went on to provide British and Commonwealth air forces with thousands of trained pilots for their operational squadrons. Performing a similar role to this day, the Tiger Moth allows prospective Warbird pilots to gain valuable experience in flying a tail-dragger aircraft.
