61056 - Mitsubishi K-46 III-Kai

MITSUBISHI K-46 III-KAI
In an effort to counter the high-flying B-29s which were attacking Japan in the latter stages of the Pacific War, the Japanese Army modified the Ki-46 "Dinah", Japanese designation "Hyakushiki Shireibu Teisatsuki" or Type 100 Command Reconnaissance Aircraft, into an air defense fighter.

This kit may be assembled as either an "Otsu" variant of the Ki-46 III-Kai, which was armed with two 20mm cannon in the nose, or the "Otsu + Hei" variant, which also had a 37mm cannnon that was specially mounted to fire upward.

Anti-aircraft "Ta" cluster bombs, which were designed to be released above the B-29 formations, could also be mounted on the wings.

Two crew figures and three marking options are included.

61057 - Heinkel He 219 A-7 Uhu

HEINKEL HE 219 A-7 UHU
The He 219 was arguably the Luftwaffe's best nightfighter during WWII and was notable for an extraordinary debut mission in June 1943 when a prototype shot down five RAF Lancaster bombers.

This kit depicts the final production variant, the A-7, which was equipped with DB 603G engines for improved high-altitude performance.

Distinctive features such as the slim fuselage, greenhouse-style canopy, and tricycle landing gear are all accurately reproduced.

The cockpit interior even features an integrated nose weight to ensure the model stays balanced when displayed.

Two crew figures and three marking options are also included.

61058 - Douglas A-1H Skyraider

DOUGLAS A-1H SKYRAIDER
First introduced in 1946, the A-1 Skyraider's frontline career as the U.S. Navy's last piston-engined attack aircraft continued for thirty years until its final service providing close-air support and rescue helicopter escort during the Vietnam War.

This kit depicts the most produced variant, the A-1H, and accurately reproduces the aircraft's robust form. Engine cowl flaps, wing flaps, and dive brakes may be posed in open or closed positions.

Parts are included for ordnance such as 250lb bombs and 5-inch rockets to depict a fully-armed machine.

One pilot figure and three marking options are also included.
