SNJ Texan

Scale 1/72
Skill Level 2 kit by Testors
The SNJ was the US Navy version of the Air Force T-6 Texan. The genealogy of the T-6/SNJ can be traced back to the North American NA-16 which first flew in 1934. Later models of the T-6/SNJ series featured retracting landing gear, an all metal fuselage, reshaped wing tips and with the SNJ-3 a reshaped rudder which finally gave the Texan its familiar outline. The SNJ was primarily used as a trainer in WWII, however it did operate in more aggressive roles during its career. Plastic unassembled model with gluing and painting required. Intermediate to advanced skill level.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop.

Scale 1/48 Skill Level 3 Plastic Model Kit by Tamiya
The Supermarine Spitfire is regarded by many as the most beautifully designed single seat fighter to appear during WWII. The Spitfire went through numerous major and minor changes throughout its long production life. The Spitfire that demonstrated such superb performance over its homeland, was also urgently required for operations overseas. One of the better known versions was the North African prepared Spitfire designated "TROP", for Tropical. The biggest problem in desert operations was the intake of abrasive sands into the engine, which quickly wore out moving parts. To overcome this difficulty a Vokes air filter was affixed over the carburetor intake.

Vought F4U-1A Corsair

Scale 1/48 Skill Level 3 Plastic Model Kit by Tamiya
Built around the new Pratt & Whitney R-2800 2000hp engine, and turning the largest propeller ever attached to a fighter plane (4m dia.), this gull-winged wonder was destined to be a success. In June 1942, the F4U-1 production models made their maiden flight. However, due to their restricted forward field of view, and because of a propeller wash effect caused them to stall left wing first during low speed landings, they first were used as land based fighters. Succeeding the F4U-1 in the summer of 1943 was the F4U-1A, which was equipped with an extended rear wheel landing gear shaft, a slightly modified glazed canopy, and a small triangular strip of metal bolted to the right leading edge of the wing to equalize the stall and avoid the roll to the left at touch-down. Despite these improvements, the new F6F Hell Cat was adopted as the main carrier-borne aircraft, and the first combat Corsairs became relegated to land based US Marine squadrons in the South Pacific. Major Boyington and 2nd Lieutenant Hanson of the U.S. Marines, Lt. Kepford of the Navy and other ace-pilots, bravely flew the F4U-1A into fierce air-combats, overpowering the Japanese Zero fighters with tremendous top speed and six 12.7mm heavy machine guns.
