Eurofighter Typhoon Twin Seater.
Cat # 04338
Scale 1:72
The Eurofighter, the most advanced fourth-generation combat aircraft, is a joint programme of
EADS in Germany and Spain, BAE Systems in Great Britain and Alenia in Italy.
As the most modern combat aircraft in its category, it combines innovative and advanced technologies but its most amazing feature is its agility.
Optimised for the air superiority role in both long-range and close-in combat,
the Eurofighter is also able to perform air-to-ground, reconnaissance-, and airspace clearing missions as well as attack maritime targets.
The twinseater is primarily intended for operational type-conversion and training.
Integrated systems, an optimal man-machine interface and state-of-the-art production technologies,
e.g. use of carbon fibre composites make Eurofighter the currently most up-to-date high-performance multirole combat aircraft.
Maximum speed: Mach 2.0+
Power plant: Two Eurojet EJ200 turbofans with afterburners (each producing 90 kN thrust)
Model-details:
- New kit design
- Finely textured surfaces with flush "metal" joints
- Detailed ejection seats
- Detailed two-seat cockpit
- Moveable canard foreplane
- Detailed air intakes
- Detailed undercarriage with filigrane retraction struts
- Air-to-air refuelling probe in either retracted or extended position
- Two underwing fuel-tanks
- Pylons
- 4 Meteor guided missiles
- 4 AMRAAM guided missiles
- 2 Sidewinder guided missiles
- Super decal set for the following versions: Luftwaffe, RAF and Spanish Airforce
F-105G Thunderchief 'Wild Weasel'
Cat # 04504
Scale 1:48
In 1955 by Republic in the USA a heavy fighter-bomber was developed, capabale of carrying a heavy bomb load at low altitudes - the F-105 Thunderchief.
The needs of the US Air Force made a two seater version necessary, designated F-105F.
During the Vietnam war special aircraft were needed to fight the North Vietnamese missile sites and their guidance radars.
The US Air Force reacted by using the available aircraft and updating them with search electronics to detect and attack SAM sites in a program called
"Wild Weasel". The F-105F was equiped with state of the art electronics, carried mostly on outboard stations under the wing. It was designated EF-105F.
Attacking enemy missile sites meant using a special missile, the AGM-45 Shrike that guided itself into the radar site by riding the enemy radar beam.
Since the electronics were carried under the wing, the usefull load was limited and therefore the equipment was housed in semi-cicular pods on both sides of
the fuselage, giving the F-105G version its typical appearance.
Top speed was Mach 2.15 at 11.600 m; range 3.330 km.
Model-details:
- Detailed surfaces
- Detailed cockpit with seats and instrument panel
- Highly detailed exhaust tail pipe with separate panels
- Detailed landing gear
- Drop tank
- One AGM-45 "Shrike" guided missile
- One AGM-78 "HARM" guided missile
- Super decal sheet for 2 USAF versions
