Originally developed as an evolution of the Manchester (which had proved troublesome in service and was retired in 1942), the Lancaster was designed by Roy Chadwick and powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins and in one of the versions, Bristol Hercules engines. It first saw service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it was the main aircraft for the night-time bombing campaigns that followed. As increasing numbers of the type were produced, it became the principal heavy bomber used by the RAF, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing the Halifax and Stirling, two other commonly used bombers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MotorMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39420688826450,"sku":"MX-77028","price":29.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/motormax-skywings-lancaster-aircraft-models-motormax-pilot-shop-0.jpg?v=1725588558"},{"product_id":"motormax-skywings-spitfire","title":"MotorMax SkyWings Spitfire","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiecast Spitfire by Motormax\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale 1:100\u003cbr\u003eWingspan: approx 17 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotormax manufactures die cast and plastic replicas of various kinds of vehicles including cars, planes and motorcycles.

It had superb performance and flight characteristics, and deliveries to operational Royal Air Force (RAF) squadrons commenced in the summer of 1938.

It was immediately obvious that it was something very special and an initial production order was placed in early June 1936 for 310 aircraft. Numerous delays at Supermarine and many of the approximately 150 sub-contractors ensured that the first production Spitfire was not completed until mid-May 1938 and the final aircraft from the order was only delivered in September 1939.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEarly production Spitfire Mk.I in the K9### \u0026amp; L10## serial number range (completed between May 1938 and September 1939), were initially powered by a 1030hp Rolls-Royce Merlin II engine and featured a 2-blade fixed pitch propeller, 8 Browning .303” machine guns, triple ejector nozzle outlet exhaust manifolds, a tall un-tapered aerial mast and a rear fuselage adorned with lapped panels with raised rivets for ease of construction. The main planes and front of the fuselage were flush riveted and puttied and sanded smooth for improved performance. Numerous improvements were introduced throughout production, most of which were eventually retrofitted to earlier aircraft which included gun heating, Rolls-Royce Merlin III engine, 3-blade dual-pitch DeHavilland propeller, exhaust manifolds of simplified construction, a taller canopy hood for improved visibility, armoured windscreen glass and protective plating over the upper fuel tank which necessitated shortening the engine cowlings slightly. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMid production Mk.Ia in the N3### \u0026amp; P9### serial number range (completed between September 1939 and April 1940 and featured in this model), saw the introduction of an improved lever-operated “dual position” cockpit door catch, reflector gun sight, tapered aerial post and a voltage regulator positioned behind the pilot’s headrest.

Other incremental changes were introduced such as a composite “plastic” seat, revised “raised rivet” radio access door, station keeping lights in the fuel tank plating, re-installation of the TR.1133 VHF radio and saw the elimination of the gauge for the top fuel tank, fuel pressure gauge, priming cock and front parachute flare tube. Some Mk.I were armed with 2 Hispano 20mm cannons and were designated the Spitfire Mk.Ib (at which time the 8 gun armed aircraft was re-designated the Mk.Ia). The cannons proved to be so unreliable that the Mk.Ib was withdrawn from service until improvements had been made in late 1940. Numerous engine, airframe and armament improvements were made to the Spitfire before production ceased in 1948, by which time over 22000 had been produced in 2-dozen variants with the most notable being the 1030hp Mk.I, 1470hp Mk.V, 1720hp Mk.IX, 2035hp Mk.XIV, the photo-reconnaissance Mk.XI and the navalised Seafire Mk.III. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpitfire Mk.I colour schemes are surprisingly varied and complicated. Interior areas were primed with light grey before being painted aluminium, except for the cockpit between frames 8 \u0026amp; 11 which was painted in a colour described as “Supermarine green” and “apple green”. Note that this is different from the paler, greyer, “Grey Green” (of which various colour mixes have additionally been noted) used on later production Spitfires built by other manufacturers. Major internal components supplied by sub-contractors could be delivered in various shades of grey-green or aluminium or even black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe underside paint finish varied greatly throughout Mk.I production and service, initially being painted aluminium until late April 1939 when the port side was painted Night (black) and the starboard white (split along the centreline). Then from late February 1940, supposedly all “white” except for the port main plane (only) which was Night, although photographic evidence indicates that the undersides of the nose, rear fuselage and tailplane were usually painted with aluminium. From June 1940 the undersides were supposed to be painted “Sky Type S…duck egg bluish green” but sky grey and sky blue also appear to have been used and then from November 1940 the port main plane (only) was again finished in Night. Aircraft were re-painted in various interpretations of these specifications in the field as time and supplies of paint (including local mixes) allowed, which ensured that a wide variety of finishes were possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary photos confirm different shades of Dark Earth and Dark Green (even on the same airframe) which were applied with a hard demarcation line on the Spitfire Mk.I. Camouflage was applied in 2 designs, the A and B schemes which were mirrors of each other. Spitfire sub-assemblies were usually supplied pre-painted so a single aircraft could exhibit a variety of shades, and sometimes the camouflage pattern would not match perfectly from one sub-assembly\/component to the next. Additionally, extensive weathering and re-painting also helped ensure that a wide variety of tonal differences could be seen. The fabric covered rudder, elevator and ailerons were undercoated in red-brown dope before being painted and frequently appear paler than the adjacent camouflaged metal parts. Therefore, unfortunately, there is no “one true” Dark Earth, Dark Green, Sky Type S or interior grey-green paint colour suitable for all Spitfire Mk.I models so, while we have tried our best with our paint suggestions, there is no doubt many will disagree with us.

The story began in the early 1960s when Boeing was looking to develop a new commercial airliner that could seat over 100 passengers. The company's engineers were tasked with creating a wide-body aircraft that would be capable of carrying large numbers of passengers and cargo efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe project, known as the \"747X,\" was initially conceived as a response to the demand for a larger, more efficient airliner. The Boeing team, led by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter, designed the 747 to be a large, three-engine aircraft with a unique upper deck section that would provide additional seating and luxury accommodations for first-class passengers. The aircraft's distinctive hump-like design was intended to provide ample space for passengers to move about the cabin while also allowing for increased cargo capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first prototype of the 747, designated as the 747-100, made its maiden flight on February 9, 1969. The aircraft was powered by four Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney JT9D engines, each producing 52,500 pounds of thrust. The prototype was initially flown without the distinctive upper deck section, which was later added during the testing phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first production 747-100 took to the skies in November 1969, and it was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on December 30, 1969. The first commercial flight of the 747 took place on January 22, 1970, when Pan Am Flight 1 flew from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to London's Heathrow Airport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe initial response to the 747 was overwhelmingly positive, with many airlines and passengers marveling at the aircraft's size, comfort, and efficiency. The aircraft's unique upper deck section quickly became a signature feature of the 747, providing an unparalleled level of luxury and comfort for first-class passengers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, the Boeing 747 has undergone numerous upgrades and improvements, including the introduction of new engines, avionics systems, and interior designs. In the early 1970s, Boeing introduced the 747SP (Special Performance), which featured a longer fuselage and increased range capabilities. The SP model was popular among airlines that needed to fly long-haul routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1980s, Boeing introduced the 747-400 model, which featured improved fuel efficiency, increased range capabilities, and modernized avionics systems. The -400 model was also equipped with advanced winglets that improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise emissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most recent iteration of the Boeing 747 is the -8 model, which was introduced in 2011. The -8 model features even more advanced avionics systems, improved fuel efficiency, and increased range capabilities. It is also equipped with raked wingtips and other design enhancements that improve fuel efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout its history, the Boeing 747 has played a significant role in shaping the global aviation industry.

Classified as the \"Wunderwaffe\" (German: Wonder Weapon), it was supposed to be one of the projects that would help reverse the unfavorable course of the war for Germany. With its performance, Horten attempted to meet the requirements of the Luftwaffe competition for the construction of an \"America Bomber\" that would be able to hit targets in the USA. This extraordinary plane is the result of the Horten brothers, Walter and Reimar, who were not engineers, but aviation enthusiasts with extremely bold ideas. They specialized in the development of flying wing aircraft. The prototype was originally designated Horten H IX. The plane was equipped with two Junkers Jumo 004B turbojet engines. The design of the plane was extremely innovative. The wings were delta-shaped and the fuselage was made of wood and composites, which reduced radar reflection. Some sources claim that the Horten Ho 229 was the first stealth aircraft in history. Research conducted after the war confirmed the reduction in radar reflection, but it was not significant enough to consider this aircraft undetectable to radar. The Ho 229 prototype was built and flown numerous times. The end of the war in 1945 interrupted work on this amazing project. The Horten Ho 229 undoubtedly influenced the development of post-war jet aircraft in Europe and America. The design of the Horten brothers is still shrouded in an aura of mystery, delights with its timelessness and modernity and ignites the imagination of lovers of history, military technology and aviation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/5756-HortenHo229-LimitedEdition-feature-6.jpg?v=1748571871\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1080 high-quality elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe blocks meet the safety standards of products for children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully compatible with other brands of construction blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% prints, no stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNameplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest pilot figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 limited edition figures depicting the Horten brothers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini model of an airport power trolley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel dimensions (L x W x H): 23.5 cm (9.2\") x 52.5 cm (20.6\") x 15 cm (5.9\")\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42058503880786,"sku":"COBI-5757","price":199.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2457\/7775\/files\/cobi-horten-ho-229-le-building-blocks-cobi-pilot-shop-0fb.png?v=1749173014"},{"product_id":"cobi-a-10-thunderbolt-ii-warthog","title":"COBI A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"anchor-item\" data-anchor=\"information\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content product-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrrrrrrrrt!
