Junkers Ju 88A This plane, one of the finest German light bombers, was actually designed by Americans! The Ju 88 was developed in Germany under the guise of a speedy transport, but was soon converted to a lethal weapon. The paneled nose and canopy of the Ju 88 is well defined on the clear parts, and the kit also includes two under wing bombs. The landing gear can be made either up or down. #14407 -1/144 Scale $9.99 
SPITFIRE MKIV Without doubt, the most famous British WW II fighter was the Spitfire. It was the right plane at the right time, and was so good, one of the German squadron leaders said (given a choice) he would prefer a squadron of Spitfires over the Messerschmitt Bf 109! This kit reproduces the classic Spitfire elliptical wing and simple grace of this renowned plane. Accurate decal markings are provided and the cockpit canopy is clear. The instructions show how to paint the British camouflage pattern used on the Spitfire. #14412 -1/144 Scale $8.99 
P-47D THUNDERBOLT As a fighter, this plane had a reputation for performance and durability that was envied even by its foes. Despite its size, the P-47 was one of the fastest fighters in the war. It was built like a flying tank and earned the nickname “Juggernaut”, or simply, the Jug. Our model has a revolving propeller, clear bubble canopy, and you have a choice of loading your Jug with either drop tanks or bombs.The decals have a bold lightning bolt and personal nose art, as well as authentic U.S. Air Corps insignia. #14413 -1/144 Scale $8.99
TBF-1 AVENGER One of the most feared naval planes is the torpedo bomber. Just one torpedo can often sink a ship, and a torpedo bomber, skimming over the water is difficult to see, let alone shoot, especially if it is shooting back as it approaches. The Avenger was not only a superb torpedo bomber, but was adapted to antisubmarine roles and even used as a fire bomber. This model has a movable propeller, clear cockpit and unique power turret, and carries the prewar markings of Torpedo Squadron 8.#14414 - 1/144 Scale $8.99
HAWKER TEMPEST MK V This British fighter was based on the Hawker Typhoon, which had not been very successful as a fighter. With a redesigned wing, and other improvements, the performance of the new fighter came up to the required level for a superior weapon. The plane actually was most successful in a role that didn't even exist when it was designed; that of a missile interceptor. The Tempest's speed was such that it could overtake the German V-1 terror weapons being launched against England. #14415 -1/144 Scale $8.99 
MITSUBISHI “BETTY” This Japanese bomber was one of the most effective attack planes of the Second World War. It amazed its opponents by its size, which was almost as big as a B-17, but it only had two engines! Our model depicts this plane with its long greenhouse canopy, and the clear glass nose and tail turrets and the loop antenna direction finder. Even the propellers rotate and the wheels roll on this miniature of the historic Japanese bomber. #14409 -1/144 Scale $9.99
HE-111 HEINKEL The bomber version of the He 111 saw its first combat in the Spanish Civil War. It features revolving propellers and wheels, clear cockpit and gun position canopies, including the unusual 'bathtub' under the fuselage. It carries two aerial torpedoes and has accurate German markings for mid-WW II. The model can be built with the wheels retracted of or lowered. #14408 -1/144 Scale $9.99
P-38J LIGHTNING Not only was the twin-boomed Lightning unique in shape, but also it was one of the fastest and heavily armed fighters in the War. With four 50 cal. machine guns and a 20 mm cannon mounted in the nose, the destructive force was enough to sink a destroyer, and it could be done in one pass! The Minicraft model has the distinguishing radiator bulges on the twin booms, clear cockpit canopy, two long-range drop tanks and authentic U.S. Army Air Corps markings. #14410 -1/144 Scale $8.99 
ME-110 Zerstorer Zerstorer means “Destroyer” in German, and this fighter was designed to attack and destroy enemy fighters. There was only one problem! The big fighter did have a formidable load of guns, but it couldn’t maneuver fast enough to use them in combat. Eventually, the Zerstorer did evolve into a very effective night fighter. This kit has the long greenhouse canopy and twin tails that define the type. The propellers revolve and the landing gear can be assembled in the retracted or landing position. #14411 -1/144 Scale $8.99
