Mustang III (FZ152)Wing Commander Stanislaw Skalski No 133 (Polish) Wing, RAF The highest scoring Polish air 'Ace' of WWII (22 Aerial Victories) The RAF referred to its P-51’s as Mustang III’s and made an immediate modification. Combat visibility was considered too poor for European operations, out of the standard ‘hinged’ canopy, so RAF machines were fitted with a ‘bulged’ sliding canopy, known as the ‘Malcolm Hood’. The resultant variant was considered the best fighting machine of the P-51 series, although later models carried more armament. RAF Mustangs were used extensively against the V-1 Flying Bomb threat to Southern England, in the latter stages of the War. Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |

P-51B Mustang"DING HAO" Maj. James H. r /> Howard USAAF 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force. Aerial combat during WWII was fought by ordinary men, performing extraordinary deeds. James Howard would argue that he was simply doing his job, but the bomber crews he defended on 11thJanuary 1944 witnessed a hero at work! Ferocious dogfights left Howard alone with a large number of vulnerable B-17 ‘Flying Fortresses’. Over 50 enemy fighters circled for the kill, but Howard repeatedly attacked them, repelling wave after wave of determined attacks. He showed little regard for his own safety in the face of overwhelming odds. Bomber crews reported that they witnessed 6 enemy fighters fall to the guns of Howard’s Mustang, however the modest Howard did not report anything unusual on his return to base. Howard was to receive his nations highest award for valour, the Congressional Medal of Honour! Our Price $39.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |

P-51B Mustang"BERLIN EXPRESS" Lt. William F.S./357th F.G., Leiston, 1944. Bill's first plane "Southern Belle" was lost when another pilot flew it. One of the most valued modifications applied to USAAF Mustangs was to replace the standard flush canopy with the RAF ‘Malcolm’ hood. This afforded an already potent fighting machine even greater combat visibility. During the melee of a dogfight, this small advantage could be the difference between coming home, or not! ‘BERLIN EXPRESS’ carries the distinctive D-Day identification markings, applied specifically to reduce the possibility of friendly fire casualties. 1:72 Scale Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |
GAUSA2005 North AmericanP-51B Mustang. "FEROCIOUS FRANKIE" “Ferocious Frankie” was the mount of Wallace E Hopkins, who named the aircraft after his wife Frankie. He flew this aircraft, before transferring to the later D and K models, ending the war operating from forward airfields in France and Belgium. Hopkins combat career ended with the title ‘Ace’, as 8 enemy fighters (and 1.5 damaged) fell victim to his guns! Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |

GAUSA2006N P-51B "HUN HUNTER" The exploits of the Eighth Air Force fighter pilots in WWII are the stuff of legend and Lt. Henry Brown of the 355th Fighter Group can definitely say he is made of the right stuff! On 11th April 1944, Brown and his Mustang “Hun Hunter from Texas” had finished their bomber escort mission and headed for the deck, in search of targets of opportunity. Four Mustangs screamed towards a Luftwaffe airfield at tree top height and straffed everything in sight. Brown shot down a Focke Wulf 190, just as it was taking off, expending his remaining ammunition in the process. He then found himself alone over enemy territory, as the rest of the flight had made for home – he attempted to do the same. At 15,000 feet, he saw a flight of 4 fighters above him and he closed to join the formation. On closer inspection, Brown discovered they were Me 109’s, but as he was out of ammunition, he closed into the formation on their blind spot. The reason he was not spotted soon became clear – they were closing on a pair of Mustangs! Brown radioed a warning and the Mustangs escaped, but gave away his position in the process. In the ensuing engagement, Brown outwitted the German fighters, despite being unable to return fire. His Mustang took some heavy damage, but he was able to shake them off! Now he just had to get home – a feat in itself. Some six and a quarter hours after take-off, he arrived back at Steeple Morden with quite a tale to tell and another kill to his name! 1:72 Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |

  NO LONGER AVAILABLE! GARAF1001 Spitfire MKIX RAF. Wing Commander "Johnie Johnson" OC No. 144 Wg. Ford, June 1944. Movable rudder, flaps, up or down landing gear. This particular aircraft was the mount of the RAF’s leading ‘Ace’ to survive WWII – Wing Commander ‘Johnnie’ Johnson. Johnson shot down 38 enemy aircraft over the skies of Northern Europe, made all the more remarkable by the fact that all these victories came against single engined fighters! The aircraft carried his initials JE – J and displays the later ‘Scheme C’ Invasion Stripe identification markings, which were restricted to the aircrafts under-surfaces only. |
 NO LONGER AVAILABLE! GARAF1002 Supermarine Spitfire LFIXe (MK356) 'Clipped Wing' No 144 Wing (Canadian) 443 'Hornet' Sqn. Royal Canadian Air Force, 1944. The beautiful lines of the Spitfire were somehow enhanced with the introduction of the Low Altitude machines. With optimised engines and ‘clipped wings’, these Spitfires were designed to conduct low level fighter sweeps over Northern France. The clipped wings yielded an increased roll rate, which was invaluable during low altitude dogfights. MK356 is still flying sorties to this day, but in a much more sedate manner. She flies with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, based at RAF Coningsby, in the UK. |
GARAF1003 Supermarine Spitfire IXc (BS410) No 315 (Polish) Squadron, Northolt, January 1943. Capt.Frances "Gabby" Gabreski. Gabreski the USAAF's leading 'ACE' in the European Theatre. Francis ‘Gabby’ Gabreski is well known as the leading USAAF air ‘Ace’ in the European Theatre of Operations, with 28 air combat victories. All of Gabreski’s kills came whilst flying with the USAAF 56th Fighter Group, in the mighty P-47 Thunderbolt. He was also unusual in that he also flew combat missions with the RAF and not as part of the famous Eagle Squadrons! As his parents were Polish, Gabreski managed to convince 8th Air Force commanders that he should be allowed to gain combat experience with one of the RAF’s Polish squadrons, in advance of the arrival of American Units. Gabreski was assigned to No 315 (Polish) Squadron and flew this Spitfire Mk. IX (BS410) out of Northolt in early 1943. Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |
GAUSA1004 Supermarine Spitfire IX, Lt. Ohr, USAAF Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. (Non standard camouflauge scheme). The RAF allowed some of their precious Spitfires to be diverted to USAAF units during WWII. These were used extensively in European and Mediterranean Theatres of Operation. This beautifully presented Spitfire Mk. IX wears a very unusual colour scheme, but doesn’t she look a picture! Of particular note are the faded US national insignia, which are bordered by a fresh application of insignia blue. This model is a must for any Spitfire collection!

GARAF1005 Spitfire MKIXMovable rudder, flaps, up or down landing gear. John Agorastos Plagis was born in Rhodesia of Greek parents, in 1919. He failed to gain entry into the Rhodesian Air Force, due to his Greek parentage, so applied to join the RAF, who desperately needed pilots. Following completion of his flying training, he was posted to Malta and on 6th March 1942, his Spitfire left the deck of HMS Eagle to enter the cauldron that was Malta! Plagis flew with great skill and courage in defence of this beleaguered island and would score the majority of his combat kills during this time. He was awarded the DFC for his actions, but would suffer complete mental and physical exhaustion, which required evacuation to England. Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |
GARAF1006N Spitfire MK.IX
Royal Air Force 'Buzz Buerling' George Beurling was a gifted aviator. Having failed in his attempt to join the RCAF, he made the hazardous Atlantic crossing to Britain, hoping to be accepted by the Royal Air Force. His flying abilities impressed officials, but they would only accept him on production of his birth certificate – this was back in Canada. Unbelievably, Beurling made this perilous, U-boat infested journey a second time, eventually returning with his birth certificate and immediately began his pilot training. Beurling was something of a loner, preferring to spend time with his aircraft and ground crew, than at the local bar. He would make detailed mathematical notes on the subject of deflection shooting – a critical aspect of aerial warfare, as yet not fully understood. He was also known for his amazing eyesight and lightning quick reactions, often commencing an attack before his comrades had even spotted the enemy! Our Price $39.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |

GALFT3002 Bf 109F-2'Black Chevron and Bars' Oberstleutnant Adolf Galland Geschwader-kommodore JG 26 'Schlageter' Brest - Guipavas, April 1941. Adolf Galland was one of the most famous and charismatic fighter pilots of WWII. As a Staffelkapitan of the Condor Legion, during the Spanish Civil War, he often flew missions in his swimming trunks, smoking a cigar – a real showman, but also a gifted pilot! Serving with distinction through the Battle of Britain, to the War’s end, Galland was the scourge of the Royal Air Force. His 103 aerial victories included 55 Spitfires and 30 Hurricanes in some 705 combat missions. Our Price $39.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |
GALFT3003 Bf 109F-2
(Trop) I./JG 27 Hptm. Eduard Neumann. Martuba, Libya. December 1941. The Luftwaffe had never intended to operate in North Africa, however the largely ineffective Regia Aeronautica led to the deployment of large numbers of German Aircraft. The desert proved to be the perfect arena for aerial combat and the beautiful Bf 109 ‘Friedrich’ excelled in these harsh conditions and quickly became the scourge of Allied airmen. This aircraft is presented in the standard Luftwaffe finish for the Western Desert. Neumann rose to command JG27 and survived the war, with 13 aerial combat victories to his name.

The aircraft has been re-sprayed in overall RLM 70 and has the yellow theatre band ahead of the fuselage cross. It also displays a number of ship silhouettes on the rudder. These refer to Huy’s anti-shipping activities off Greece and Crete. He would end the war as a prisoner, having claimed 37 aerial victories. Our Price $33.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |

GALFT3005 Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4 Hermann Graf was one of the most gifted fighter pilots of WWII – he was also one of the most controversial! As with most Luftwaffe pilots, Graf gained his first flying experiences on the hillsides of Germany, piloting various gliders. Following his formal training, he was eventually posted to Russia, in support of Operation Barbarossa. Here he would begin to display his abilities in aerial combat and quickly rose to prominence as he decimated his Russian opponents. During a three week period in early 1942, Graf shot down 48 enemy aircraft and in the following September, a further 64 aircraft fell to his guns. Our Price $39.99 FREE SHIPPING OVER $50 |
