Ett kit från varumärket Trumpeter Satsen: «Hawker “Sea Fury” FB.11 – Trumpeter 01631».

The first Sea Fury prototype, powered by a Bristol Centaurus XII, had first flown on 21 February 1945, but the first fully-navalized version with folding wings did not fly until 12 October 1947. The Boulton Paul contract was cancelled in early 1945, and of the 100 Sea Furies that remained on order, the first 50 were completed under the designation Sea Fury Mk X.

In May 1948, the first Sea Furies became operational with No. 802 Squadron, in the form of the Sea Fury FB.Mk 11, of which 615 were built. At least 66 of these were delivered to Australia and Canada. Early in the Korean war, Sea Furies operated very successfully in the ground attack role from the decks of Royal Navy aircraft carriers. The RN also received 60 two-seat T.Mk 20 trainers in the early 1950s. Sea Furies were exported to several other countries, including the Netherlands, Pakistan, Egypt, Burma, Cuba and Iraq.

Den Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks named after the Soviet defence commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov and used by the Red Army during World War II. KV-1S: In response to criticisms, the lighter KV-1S was developed, with thinner armour and a smaller, lower turret in order to reclaim some speed. Importantly, the KV-1S had a commander’s cupola with all-around vision blocks. It also had a sophisticated planetary transmission that significantly increased the reliability, and allowed use of more efficient regenerative geared steering, unlike the solely clutch and brake steering systems used by the Panzer III, IV and T-34. Its reduced weight allowed it to achieve a top speed of 43.3 km/h.

En mock-up av varumärket HobbyBoss (hobbyboss) le kit : «DKM Navy Type VII-A U-Boat – HOBBY BOSS 83503».

These boats, designed in 1933-1934, were the first of a new generation of German attack U-boats known, as Type VII, they were popular with their crews and very agile on the surface. They also had a much more powerful striking power than the smaller Type II’s. They had 5 torpedo tubes (4 at the bow) and would carry 11 torpedoes onboard or 22 TMA (=33 TMB) mines. They also had the effective 88mm fast-firing deck gun with about 160 rounds of ammunition. Type VIIB was an improvement on this design with substantially increased range. All but two (U-29 and U-30, both scuttled in Kupfermühlen Bay on May 4, 1945) Type VIIA U-boats were sunk during World War Two.

Den brittiska Supermarine Spitfire stod inför flera utmaningar i mitten av 1942. Debuten av den formidabla Focke-Wulf Fw 190 i slutet av 1941 hade orsakat problem för RAF-stridsskvadroner som flög de senaste Spitfire Mk Vb. Rolls-Royce-ingenjörerna arbetade redan på en ny version av Merlin som innehåller en tvåstegs supercharger; kombinationen av den förbättrade Merlin och Spitfire Mk VC-flygplanskroppen i en "stop-gap" -design tillät RAF att bekämpa Fw 190 på lika villkor. I en andra ström av utveckling arbetade Supermarine på en förbättrad, förstärkt Spitfire-flygplansskrov som införlivade flera nya funktioner och designades för Merlin 60- och 70-seriens motorer. Denna nya flygplansskrov utgjorde senare grunden för Rolls-Royce Griffon-drivna Spitfires.

Mk IX (typ 361): BS456 UZ-Z of 306(Polish) Toruński Squadron, RAF Northolt, November 1942. A Spitfire IX converted from a Mk VC airframe. A teardrop shaped blister for a Coffman cartridge starter can be seen just behind the propeller. This aircraft carries a 30-gallon “slipper” drop tank under the fuselage. In the early months of 1942, with the clear superiority of the Focke Wulf Fw 190 over the Spitfire VB, there was much pressure to get Spitfires into production using the new two-stage supercharged Merlin 61 engine. In September 1941 the Spitfire Mk III prototype N3297 had been converted by Rolls-Royce at their Hucknall plant to take a Merlin 60, which had been specifically designed for use in the Wellington Mk VI high altitude bomber.

The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero (Italian for “Sparrowhawk”) was a three-engined Italian medium bomber with a wood and metal structure. Originally designed as a fast passenger aircraft, this low-wing monoplane, in the years 1937–39, set 26 world records that qualified it for some time as the fastest medium bomber in the world.

Det sågar först handling under den spanska inbördeskriget och flög på alla beklär i vilket Italien var involverat under världen kriger II. Det blev känt och uppnådde många framgångar som torpedbombare i Medelhavsteatern. SM.79 var ett enastående flygplan och var verkligen det mest kända italienska flygplanet under andra världskriget. Det var lätt igenkännligt på grund av dess distinkta flygkropp dorsala "puckel", och var omtyckt av sina besättningar som kallade det Gobbo Maledetto ("förbannad puckelrygg").
