1/144 FW-190 A-8/A-9

MKM14421   Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-8/A-9 (2in1 = 2 kits in 1 box)

(Luftwaffe)

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190, designed in 1938, was a versatile German single-seat aeroplane which became the backbone of the Luftwaffe’ fighter force during WWII. Except its main role as a day fighter (A-series) it was also used as a fighter-bomber and ground-attack aircraft (F models). It was an all-metal monoplane powered by a BMW 801 radial engine.

The Fw 190A-8 was the most numerously built variant, which production reached nearly 1400 machines. The A-9 was the last A-model produced and was fitted with a more powerful engine and a bubble canopy.

Tha armament remained similar to that fitted to the previous variants, i.e., two fuselage machine guns and four cannons in the wing roots and outer wings, while a drop tank could also be fitted beneath the fuselage.

Both variants took part in the final stages of air war over Germany, hopelessly defending the remnants of the Third Reich

Colour schemes included in the kit:

1)   Fw 190A-8, Red 1, Hans Dortenmann, 2./JG 54, Luftwaffe, Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base, France, June 1944

2)   Fw 190A-8, Blue 17, IV./JG 54, Luftwaffe, Berlin area, Germany, May 1945

3)   Fw 190A-8, Red 11, Dieter Göthel, 10./JG 301, Luftwaffe, Dresden-Heller Air Base, Germany, January 1945

4)   Fw 190A-9, Yellow 5, 3./JG 5, Luftwaffe, Germany, spring 1945

This injection-moulded kit contains 14 parts, 1 clear part (the cockpit canopy) and 1 resin part (the cockpit interior). A comprehensive instruction leaflet and a decal sheet are included.

1/144 Bf-109 G-1/G-3 from MARK I Models

1/144 Bf-109 G-1/G-3  from MARK I Models

MKM14415   Messerschmitt Bf 109G-1/G-2 (2in1 = 2 kits in 1 box) )

(Luftwaffe, Finnish Air Force)   

                      

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German fighter aircraft designed in the mid-1930s. Powered by a Jumo and later by Daimler-Benz in-line engine, it represented the first modern fighter of the era. Originally conceived as an interceptor, later models were developed to fulfil various roles, such as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, day and night fighter, ground-attack or reconnaissance. Various armament modifications evolved in service, using pre-packaged or field kits. The aircraft was of an all-metal monocoque construction, featuring an enclosed canopy and a retractable landing gear.

The G-series aircraft were introduced in mid-1942. The initial variants (G-1 through G-4) differed only in minor details from its predecessor, the Bf 109F, most notably in the more powerful DB 605 engine. Odd numbered variants were built as high-altitude fighters, while even numbered variants were air superiority fighters and fighter-bombers.

The Bf 109 was the most produced fighter aircraft in the aviation history, and besides the German Luftwaffe it served in many other air forces and gallantly fought in all aerial combats of WWII. 

Colour schemes included in the kit:

1)   Bf 109G-1/R6, Horst Carnagico, Stab II./JG 5, Luftwaffe, Alakurrti airfield, Northern Russia, April 1943

1/144 Bf-109 and FW-190s from MARK I Models

1/144 Bf-109 and FW-190s from MARK I Models 

There are two kits with decals in each box so two complete models can be made.
These were originally Eduard kits that have now been improved with resin cockpits and Mark I decals.

The decals are nice, though the kits are quite basic by modern standards. I am not sure when they were released but there are reviews from 2000, they actually seem to have a passing resemblance to the standard of the  recent Zvesda war gaming kits as they do not have cockpit cavities...

1/144 - 1/72 Gear Puzzle Set? (updates

I do not know anything about these and as far as I can determine the yahoo.jp auction doesnt indicate who is manufacturing these items?

Although it is a mixed set - 1/144 Aircraft and 1/72 Armour which in itself is slightly strange!

Part of me is inclined to assume it may be a Dragon/Doyusha reissue or repackage?
(except who did the Mig-29?)

*** Update ***
It becomes apparent these are not really models, but low quality Puzzle Kits!!

Part of this is on the basis there is
1/144 F-117 (Secret, but obvious from the silhouette)
1/144 F-14 Tomcat
1/144 F-16 Falcon
1/144 Mig 29
plus some 1/72 tanks (pah!, who cares about those!)

A slightly amusing point is that the pictures and text for the Mig and Falcon are swapped over?!
