1/144 Macchi MC.200 Engine - Heroes Models


 1/144 Macchi MC.200 Engine

Replacement part for the Sweet kit. The Japanese kit is very nice in overall shape and fitting but has some lack in detail. The very visible engine part is totally flat.

The Heroes Models part shows a detailed engine, detailed engine cowling, and exhausts. The part has the same joint as the original one and doesn’t require any cut or modification to be used.

It isn’t present any casting support for a completely trouble-free solution.

1/144 Boeing RC-135V/W Rivet Joint (C-135) and Convair NB-36H Crusader - Roden

 


1:144  Boeing RC-135V/W Rivet Joint (C-135) - Roden 

RC-135V/W - a specialized aircraft for airborne electronic reconnaissance, developed in the 1970s. The main tasks of the RC-135V and RC-135W are to identify sources of radio signal in the area of potential combat operations, collect information on land, sea and air targets, intercept radio communication between command posts and combat units, and monitor enemy air defenses. 

For this very specific work, the  aircraft crew consists of 12 to 16 surveillance operators and analysts for the purpose of operational data collection. Usually the RC-135V and RC-135W perform tasks together with other reconnaissance aircraft such as the E-3 AWACS, transmitting all the collected information to it as a mobile command post through a special encrypted communication channel. 

The  RC-135V and RC-135W have been in service with the US Air Force for over 40 years and are the main type used for these operations; and since 2013,  three RC-135Ws have been adopted by the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom.

1:144 The Convair NB-36H Crusader - Roden

The Convair NB-36H Crusader was an American research aircraft built in 1955 based on the B-36H bomber to determine the possibility of installing a nuclear reactor and so remain airborne for a long time.
