	Airfix A55307 Westland Sea King HAR.3 Starter Set Held in extremely high regard by the British public, the distinctive yellow Search and Rescue Sea King HAR.3 helicopters of the Royal Air Force always seemed to be on hand when help was needed most.

	Airfix A55213 Boulton Paul Defiant 1:72 Scale. Skill: 1 Finished Size (mm): L150 x W166 Number of Parts: 70 The Boulton-Paul Defiant was the only ‘turret fighter’ to enter service with the RAF. Using the philosophy that a fighter aircraft, armed solely with a turret bristling with machine guns would be able to enter a bomber stream causing havoc and the turret would also enable it to defend itself from enemy fighters, but soon the Luftwaffe pilots worked out its weaknesses, especially the lack of forward firing guns and the Defiant was soon relegated to night fighting duties were it fared better. Includes:- 6 x Acrylic Paints, 2 x Brushes, Poly Cement £9.99

Featuring a twin boom fuselage, which was to become a common feature of de Havilland designs, the Vampire proved a capable early jet fighter. The Vampire T.11 trainer was developed from the fighter versions and served the RAF until 1967. It was an excellent trainer and examples continue to fly today both in the UK and further afield. Paint Scheme - de Havilland Vampire T.11, No.14 Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force. Includes:- 6 x Acrylic Paints, 2 x Brushes, Poly Cement £9.99
	Airfix A55116 Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.4 Starter Set The Jet Provost was introduced in the late 1950s and quickly became the RAF’s premier jet basic trainer. The T3 model, introduced in 1959, featured an uprated engine and an improved canopy design, offering the side by side seated pilot and pupil a much improved view. The Provost was a joy to fly, forgiving and easy to learn on, with many of the 1960s and 70s RAF front line pilots learning their trade on its un-swept wings. Its reliability and strength also added to its suitability as a jet trainer and the addition of wing tip tanks on the T3 also added to its endurance. The T.4 model introduced another upgrade to the engine but was otherwise unchanged from the T.3. £9.99

The more powerful and better armed Bf109E, by the summer of 1940 had over 500 in service and had already proved to be a competent fighter aircraft in the skies above Europe.

	Airfix A19002 Hawker Typhoon Mk1B 1:24 Scale. Skill: 4. Finished Size (mm): L404 x W528. Number of Parts: 509. A super detailed 1:24 scale model of the legendary ground attack Hawker Typhoon MkIb. This fantastic model has been created using an advanced CAD design used on all new models. Introduced in 1941, the Hawker Typhoon was designed to be the RAF's new ultimate interceptor fighter. It was hoped that the Typhoon, together with the Spitfire, would be a powerful and effective opponent of the Luftwaffe. However, it was not to be. Initially plagued by mechanical woes from the engine and suffering from a deficit in performance at high altitude, the Typhoon instead found fame as a low level attack aircraft, a role to which it was both well-suited and hugely effective.
