Minicraft Models Legends in the Making

F-111E AARDVARK The ungainly name of this plane comes from the appearance of its long nose. And, although the appellation Switch Blade is often used, the F-111 did not have an official name. The plane was developed under a great deal of controversy as the TFX, or Tactical Fighter, Experimental. The original concept was to design a plane that could be used by the Air Force from land and Navy from carriers. The Navy version failed to achieve its goals, but the Air Force F-111 eventually became a very efficient weapon. #14420 -1/144 Scale $11.99

B-25H/J MITCHELL While in service, some of the B-25s were modified with four gun blisters on the fuselage. Then it was found that the versatile plane could also carry a 75 mm cannon in its nose! From these field modifications, the production lines were altered and the B-25H/J was assembled with the guns already mounted. The H had the typical glass bomber nose and the J version carried the cannon. This model has parts and decals to make either variant. #14405 -1/144 Scale $12.99

B-24J LIBERATOR Long range, heavy armament and large bomb loads made the B-24 indispensable to the Allied victory. More B-24s were built than any other American bomber. As the planes wore out, they were classed as “War Weary” and many were used as marker planes to set up formations before a raid. These planes were painted with bright colors and sometimes-bizarre color schemes for high visibility. This model depicts one of those Assembly ships. #14402 -1/144 Scale $14.99

FRS-1 SEA HARRIER One of the most unique fighter planes ever designed, the Harrier is the first successful vertical take off (VTO) fighter, and the first to be used in combat.
