It had folding wings, and three 12.7mm machine guns in each wing, plus the more powerful 1,200 P & W R-1830-86 Twin Wasp engine, giving it a speed of 512km/h.

Grumman Duck

Used by every branch of the United States armed forces from before the Second World War to just after, the J2F Duck proved to be a rugged and dependable utility floatplane. Deployed in a variety of uses from air-sea rescue to anti-submarine patrols, the Duck was to be found from the cold wastes of Alaska to the heart of the South Pacific. Also exported, the Duck found widespread use in South America, where its strength and easy flight characteristics were much appreciated. This military workhorse did a tremendous job but never got the publicity of its more glamorous cousins. It could carry bombs, act as a transport, be used for photo-reconnaissance and rescues, usually when the normal aircraft for these roles were unavailable for both the USN and the USCG. This tremendous utility aircraft was flown by many countries well after the war ended. Scale 1/72. Skill level 2.

Focke-Wulf Fw190 F-8

Scale 1/48 Skill Level 3 Plastic Model Kit by Tamiya

German successes during the beginning of World War 2 were brought about by "Blitzkriegs" and showed the effectiveness of combined ground and air-to-ground support tactics. The Ju87 Stuka dive bomber was active and successful during this period; however, by 1942 it was obsolete and unsuitable, especially in speed and maneuverability.A replacement for the Ju87 was required, and the Focke-Wulf Fw190, which established itself as a mainstay fighter for the Luftwaffe, was found to be adaptable to this role due to its robust construction and versatility. The F-8 appeared in April 1944 and was the most widely produced Fw190 of the "F" series. European air superiority was already held by the allies, and the Fw190 F-8 was in action during this final stage of the conflict.
