USBUNDLEA3 1.48 Scale Fighters Bundle
Product Info
Each of the kits in this impressive bundle builds into a fine representation of the subject aircraft, with their greater size helping to portray the power and majesty of these magnificent machines much more effectively. The additional size also serves to illustrate the development of fighter technology throughout the Second World War, from the workmanlike Hawker Hurricane to the thoroughbred Hawker Sea Fury, a potent performer which was more than 100 mph faster than its predecessor.
Agile and deadly, the single engined fighter aircraft from the Second World War era were created to achieve one thing, domination of the skies. Flown by some of the most proficient pilots each nation could muster, their machines were flown to their limits amongst the clouds, where the stakes couldn’t be higher – to be victorious, or to be vanquished. Whether operating from their home airfield, or from the deck of an aircraft carrier at sea, fighters were not only the aircraft every pilot wanted to fly, but also managed to capture the imagination of the general public, who simply couldn’t get enough of hearing about the exploits of their ‘Ace’ pilots. In the years which followed the end of WWII, these aircraft and their famous pilots, have continued to be a source of enduring fascination for many, incredible deeds performed by extraordinary airmen.
What's Included
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb
Product code: A05125A
Illustrating the strength and adaptability of its basic design, the Supermarine Spitfire saw constant development throughout the Second World War, with over 20,000 aircraft eventually being produced in 24 different marks. The Mark V variant was actually something of a stop-gap upgrade from the aircraft which fought during the Battle of Britain, but with 6,487 produced, it would prove to be the most heavily produced mark of Spitfire.

Hawker Hurricane Mk.1
Product code: A05127A
The Hawker Hurricane was the RAFs most vital fighter in the early years of WWII. These tough, partly fabric covered monoplane fighters put in a valiant defense against the numerically superior Luftwaffe during the Blitzkrieg. Although slower than the Messerschmitt Bf109, and with a less destructive armament, the Hurricane was able to turn tighter and absorb considerable punishment.

Curtiss P-40B Warhawk 1:48
Product code: A05130
During the early stages of WWII, the American built Curtiss P-40B proved to be one of the most important fighter aircraft available to Allied Air Forces. Flying with the RAF in North Africa and the American Volunteer Group in China, the Allison V-1710-33 powered P-40B was to became one of the most distinctive fighters of the entire war, wearing their fearsome shark-mouth artwork.
Arguably, the most striking versions of the P-40 were the early machines, which displayed an extremely sinister profile '”œ with a shorter, more pointed nose and an extremely throaty Allison V-1710 engine, the P-40B (Tomahawk IIa in RAF service) aircraft looked almost like flying Great White sharks. When RAF No.112 Squadron of the Desert Air Force added aggressive looking sharks teeth and eyes to their aircraft in 1941, they inadvertently turned their Tomahawks into some of the most iconic aircraft of WWII and certainly some of the most visually appealing.
These designs would find their way on to many different aircraft throughout the remainder of the war, but the RAF Desert Air Force certainly started the trend.
