To say Jacqueline Cochran made aviation history is an understatement. Not only did she set multiple speed and altitude records, but she also won five Harmon Trophies for her outstanding piloting skills over the course of her career. This two-kit combo recreates two airshow P-51 Mustangs once flown by the legendary "Speed Queen." This limited edition kit combo features new resin dorsal fin and fuselage bulge parts, plus two marking options.

Phantom II aircraft were the last aircraft to be flown by aces in the twentieth century-carrying numerous pilots to the five kill mark and beyond. They set sixteen world speed and altitude records that stayed in place for decades. They were America's most commonly produced supersonic aircraft. Though they have been phased out of use by the American military, nearly one hundred of these exceptional craft still provide air reconnaissance for the JASDF.
Decal Option:

The Lavochkin LaGG-3 was distinguished by wood-laminate construction, which added durability, plus two 12.7 mm Berezin UBS machine guns that delivered more burst mass than any other Soviet fighters of its era. The Finnish Air Force captured three LaGG-3s during the war, where they were primarily used as a bomber interceptor. Over 6,500 LaGG-3s were produced from 1941 until 1944.
This limited edition kit features two marking options.
Decal Options:
LaGG-3 early type, Finnish AF, LeLv 32, Code: LG-1

Mitsubishi F1M2 Type Zero Observation Sea Limited Edition

Mfg. Number: 07408
Pieces: 124
Age: 14+
Skill: 3
Useful for spotting the enemy, spotting the fall of heavy artillery and redirecting shots, and shooing off enemy aircraft, the seaplane was considered an essential part of naval strategy before the perfection of long-range radar. As floatplanes went, the F1M2 was a fairly good aircraft. It had a 230mph top speed, three machine guns, and long range. However, the F1M2 was simply outnumbered by the hundreds of aircraft directed at the battleship Musashi during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. This limited edition kit features an F1M2 with four sets of decals.
Decal Options:
Battleship Musashi Code: 212-01, 212-02 Oct., 1944
Battleship Nagato Code: 213-01, 213-02 Oct., 1944
Battleship Yamato Code: 211-01, 211-02 Oct., 1944

The original P-2 Neptune was first developed for the US Navy to serve as a land-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft early in the Cold War. However, it wasn't exclusively flown by the US. 51st Squadron pilots from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) were specially trained to test and evaluate P2V-7 Neptune aircraft from spring 1963 through fall 1981. This limited edition kit features new resin vertical fin and metal sensor parts, plus one marking option.

Pieces: 211
Age: 14+
Skill: 3
VF-74 Be-Devilers were the first US Navy Squadron to fly the Phantom II and the first to fly the F-14 Tomcat. They flew these astounding aircraft in many high-profile missions during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Towards the end of the unit's service, they flew their F-14 Tomcats in the adversary role to help keep other units sharp. After fifty years in service, VF-74 was inactivated in 1994. This limited edition kit features two sets of Be-Devilers decals.
Decal Options:
F-14B: U.S. Navy VF-74 "BE-DEVILERS" Code: AA105

Mitsubishi G3M3 Type 96 Attack Bomber Limited Edition
1/72
Mfg. Number: 02156
Pieces: 122
Age: 14+
Skill: 3
Designed to bring strategic bombing support to the armies and navies of Imperial Japan, wherever they conquered, the G3M3 was ahead of its time. It eschewed armour and defensive armament in favour of speed and mission multi-mission flexibility. Although this was its greatest innovation, it was also the type's greatest downfall. Without self-sealing fuel tanks and with light defensive armament, the type could be brought down by relatively slight damage. It was considered antiquated by WWII, but fought on nonetheless. This limited edition kit features two sets of decals.
Decal Options:
IJN 903rd NFG Code: Yo G-375 1945
IJN 901st NFG Code: KEA-395 1945

The Philippine Island Chain was essential to Imperial Japanese war plans. It sat astride the shipping lanes that kept Japan supplied with oil. U.S. forces were sent to capture the islands and the IJN was determined to stop them. The resulting "Battle of Leyte Gulf" was one of the most confusing surface actions ever fought but one thing was clear-American airpower enabled our forces to find, strike, and destroy the IJN in detail. This limited edition kit combo features two aircraft with three sets of decals for each.

Nakajima B6N2 Carrier Attack Bomber Type 12 Limited Edition

Mfg. Number: 07401
Pieces: 164
Age: 14+
Skill: 3
Nicknamed "Jill" by the Allies, the Nakajima B6N2 carrier-based torpedo bomber was distinguished by its swept-forward tail fin and rudder. Nine B6N2s were among the extensive fleet of aircraft found on the Japanese aircraft carrier Amagi. However, the majority of B6N2 launches were made from land, not sea. This limited edition kit features torpedo and bomb parts, plus two marking options.
Decal Options:
IJN 601st NFG, Code: 601-312, Carrier Amagi, January 1945
