1/144 de Havilland Sea Venom FAW.21/22/ECM.21 'Home Fleet' (2in1)  - Mark I 

The de Havilland Sea Venom was a British jet all-weather fighter developed for the Royal Navy from the RAF's Venom NF.2 night fighter. First flown in April 1951, the Sea Venoms were produced as the FAW.20 (50 a/c), improved FAW.21 (167 a/c) and uprated FAW.22 (39 new built and other Mk.21s converted). In total, 256 aircraft were taken on FAA's charge, while 39 Sea Venoms, designated FAW.53, were delivered to the Royal Australian Navy in 1956.

It was a two-seat monoplane aircraft, of all-metal construction, powered by a DH Ghost turbojet. It featured twin-boom tail configuration, with two wing-root intakes and folding wings with wing tip fuel tanks, clear-view canopy and was fitted with ejection seats (Mk.21/22s). Its armament consisted of four fixed Hispano cannons, while a provision was made for two 500lb or 1,000lb bombs, or drop tanks, or eight 3" RPs below the wings. The FAW.22s could also carry the Firestreak guided missiles. A handful of Mk.21 and Mk.22 aircraft were modified for ECM purposes as ECM.21 and 22s, lacking the on-board armament, while three RAN Sea Venoms were later converted to TT.53s mounting the Del Mar target tug system.

The Sea Venoms replaced the Sea Hornets piston-engine fighters and were in the FAA front-line service with seven squadrons from March 1954 until the end of 1960. The Sea Venoms also took part in Suez campaign in the autumn of 1956, performing well during army support operations. The last Sea Venom aircraft were withdrawn from the FAA and RAN service in 1970 and 1973, respectively.

1/144 Hawker Tempest Mk.V 'Le grand cirque' (The Big Show) (Royal Air Force-aircraft flown by W/Cdr P.H. Clostermann) *** LIMITED EDITION *** - Mark I

 

 1/144 Hawker Tempest Mk.V 'Le grand cirque' (The Big Show) (Royal Air Force-aircraft flown by W/Cdr P.H. Clostermann) - Mark I

*** LIMITED EDITION  ***

The Hawker Tempest Mk.V was the RAF's last piston-engined fighter used in the WWII, attaining great success in destruction of the German V-1 flying bombs. Developed in late 1941 from the troublesome Typhoon interceptor, the prototype flew in September 1942. The first order was for 400 Tempests, produced as the Mk.V Series 1 (100 a/c by Hawker) and Series 2 (300 a/c by Gloster); the first aircraft were completed in mid-1943. A further two orders for Hawker-built Mk.V Srs.2 aeroplanes raised the total of the Tempests produced to 801.

It was a single-seat monoplane aircraft, of all metal construction, powered by a Napier Sabre II engine. DH or Rotol four-bladed propellers were used. It featured a bubble canopy and a retractable undercarriage. The Srs.1 aircraft had four long-barrelled 20mm Hispano cannons in the wings, while the later Tempests had cannons without projecting barrels. The Srs.2 aircraft could also carry 45-gal drop tanks. In its later guise, the Tempest could perform as a fighter-bomber, carrying a wide variety of bombs up to 1000 lbs. From early 1945 it was cleared for rocket firing and combinations of 25lb or 60lb RP could be carried.

Tempest Mk.Vs were delivered to the RAF and RNZAF squadrons between April 1944 and July 1945, ultimately equipping nine fighter units and one auxiliary squadron.

During the advance of Allied forces into Germany, ground attacks, close-support sorties and pursuit of Luftwaffe aircraft were the main tasks of the Tempests. After VE-Day the Tempest Mk.Vs soldiered on with seven squadrons of BAFO in Germany, and the last units retained their aircraft until early 1948.

Colour schemes included in the kit:

1) Hawker Tempest Mk.V (Srs.2), EJ536, Sky US-W, No.56 Sq., Royal Air Force, Volkel airfield (B-80), the Netherlands, early April 1945

https://www.instagram.com/beacon_models/

Beacon Models presents; The Few - Part 1; the first part of a collection of plastic 1/144 scale model kits, featuring iconic aircraft that fought in the Battle of Britain. Beacon Models want to create world class plastic hobby kits, and Beacon Models need your help to bring the vision to life. 

Help Beacon Models exceed our funding goals to unlock stretch goals, including extra plastic parts included with all kits, and more decal sets as free bonuses. 

BEACON MODELS VISION

2020 marked the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and Beacon Models want to produce model kits that will allow scale modellers and tabletop gamers to build a collection of these aircraft with the assurance that the models will be of the highest quality, fidelity and consistency while also being user friendly. The first two aircraft  developed for Part 1 of this collection are the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1 and the Messerschmitt Bf 109E. 

If this campaign is successfully funded and delivered, Beacon Models hope to develop more kits depicting aircraft from the Battle of Britain in the future, then more famous aircraft from the Second World War and beyond into the Cold War and modern eras. 

You can see more about our plans for Part 2 and Part 3 of The Few on https://beacon-models.com/index.php/kickstarter-launch/the-few-roadmap/

THE KITS

The kits will be injection moulded High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) plastic, as is typical for hobby kits. A sprue of clear polycarbonate canopy parts is also provided, which will be polished to a high transparency. We will produce three separate kit boxes if this campaign is successfully funded:

Kit 1: Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a, Twin Set.

Kit 2: Messerschmitt Bf109E-3/E-4, Twin Set.

Kit 3: Spitfire Mk.1 Vs Bf109E, Dogfight Set.

If we reach our stretch goals, we will also add extra parts to the plastic frames to include more variants of each aircraft, and we will develop more decal sets as Bonus Items to suit these other variants. 

STRETCH GOALS

Beacon Models  hope that you will support us and help fund our campaign, and if we exceed our funding goals, Beacon Models  want to thank you by giving you more rewards options and bonus rewards in exchange for you pledge! Every time Beacon Models  reach a stretch goal, it will unlock more options for the kits such as decals and extra parts.
