1/144 Bristol Beaufighter MK.IF/IC/VI - Mark I

1/144 Bristol Beaufighter MK.IF/IC/VI - Mark I

Everyone is releasing each others kits this year! Following on from the F-Toys announcement, now comes more Beaufighters from Mark I.

The Bristol Beaufighter was a British long-range heavy fighter, developed early in 1939 from the Beaufort torpedo bomber. It became an efficient night-fighter, employing the then novel AI radar. Following short-term development the first prototype flew in July 1939 and the first aeroplanes reached the squadrons in the summer of the next year.

The Beaufighter was a two-seat, twin engine, all-metal mid-wing cantilever monoplane, fitted with a retractable undercarriage. It was powered by two Hercules radial engines and the armament consisted of four cannons in the nose, four guns in the starboard wing and another two guns in the port wing.

The Beaufighter Mk.IF was destined for RAF Fighter Command units, while the Mk.IC, fitted with an additional radio and navigational equipment, was a dedicated long-range fighter for the Coastal Command. Total production of both variants reached 914 aircraft.

The Beaufighter had a long career and served in almost all theatres of war during the WWII, at first as a night fighter, then as a fighter-bomber and eventually being used as a torpedo-bomber.

1/144 IJN Type 4 'Ka-Tsu' - Dameya
The Type 4 Ka-Tse was a Japanese version of a LVT, and was designed to carry cargo or troops. It had an unusual ability to be made watertight and could even be carried stowed on the decks of submarine, such as the I-36  Type B1 Submarine,  A version was also developed to carry aerial torpedoes in order to attack the american fleet in the pacific atolls. It had a crew of 4, and could carry 40 troops or 4 Tons of cargo.

April 1944:Operation "Tatsumaki" (Tornado) - Amphibious Tank Attack at Majuro, Marshall Islands:
Inland Sea. I-44 participates in training with I-36, I-38, I-41 and I-53. The operation calls for the submarines to carry amphibious Type 4 'Ka-Tsu' armed with torpedoes from Kure to Majuro. There they are to be put ashore, make their way overland, enter the water again and make a torpedo attack on American ships. Later, the plan is cancelled.

1/144 Polish TKS Tankettes- CGD

1/144 Polish TKS Tankettes- CGD

CG Dynamix (CGD) has launched a new series of Micro Tankettes, despite there tiny size they were very effective against the German panzers in 1939. The small size and low profile made it difficult for the german tank gunners to track and target these machines, additionally thier 20mm and 37mm AT guns were more than match for most German armour of the day.

1/144 Westland Lysander MK. I / II - Foxone

Foxone has release a new set of kits, the 1/144 Westland Lysander MK. I and Mk II.

I think these are great and am glad to see this kit produced. It is one of those unsung hero's of WWII, not the fast sexy fighters such as the Spitfire or P-51D, or the city destroying Lancaster's or B-17s, it is however an important and interesting aircraft.

Working initialy in it Liaison role and subsequently in its more famous role of landing and retrieving SOE Special Agents into occupied Europe.

The Lysander was flown by around the world by over 12 airforces and services in WWII and afterwards:
