The F-22 was in April 1991 the winner of the competition announced by the USAAF for the Advanced Tactical Fighter, which dates back to 1981. It was then that a $ 12 billion program was launched and the construction of a highly maneuverable, indirectly controlled, Stealth fighter began. The US Navy joined the program in April 1986, hoping to build a successor to the F-14 Tomcat. Later that year, the Department of Defense announced that Lockheed and Northrop had advanced to the next stage. Each of the companies was to build a prototype, designated YF-22 and YF-23, respectively. From then on, Lockheed joined forces with Boeing and General Dynamics, which later resulted in the division of work on serial aircraft between the Boeing and Lockheed plants. The first prototype of the YF-22 was called 87-3997 \/ N22YF and was equipped with newly constructed General Electric YF120 engines. The flight of the plane took place on September 29, 1990. Shortly thereafter, on October 30, 1990, a second 87-3998 \/ N22YF prototype was flown, powered by an alternative Pratt-Whitney YF119 engine. After a careful comparison of the parameters with the competing YF-23 by the Northrop \/ McDonnell Douglas team, it was announced that the winner of the competition was the YF-22 with the YF119 engine. The design of the final version of the F-22A was frozen in March 1992. The differences compared to the prototype included an increase in the wingspan of a trapezoidal shape to 13.59 m, which, however, did not increase the wing surface, a reduction in the thickness of the wing profile at the root and its twisting, which ensured better controllability of the aircraft in terms of supersonic speeds. The area of the double vertical tail was also reduced to 27.2 m2. The Lockheed F-22 Raptor is one of the first, if not the only, fifth generation fighter in the world. Thanks to the use of a completely new power unit (two Pratt-Whitney F119-PW-100 engines with vector thrust) and low aerodynamic resistance, the speed of the F-22 - according to unofficial data - exceeds 2.4Ma. In addition, it is highly maneuverable, which allows you to perform such acrobatic figures as, for example, the Pugacheva cobra or Kulbit. Another important feature of the F-22 is the Stealth technology, however, based less than the F-117 on RAM, and more on the aerodynamic excellence, overall shape of the airframe and refined exterior details. The exact radar view (RCS), however, is still classified. It is also very important to use the highly innovative AN \/ APG-77 radar, thanks to which it is possible to detect objects from about 250 km. Moreover, this radar enables the F-22 to act as a \"mini-AWACS\" aircraft, which significantly increases the combat capabilities of the strike teams with this aircraft. AN \/ APG-77 can also be used to attack the enemy's electronic radar and overload his sensors. Production of the F-22 ended in 2011, with the production of 187 serial aircraft, with Lockheed obliged to maintain the production lines and facilities.

The prototype flight took place in May 1977. The SU-27 aircraft was developed as a response to the introduction of the F-15 Eagle into service in the USAF. The SU-27 is a very successful design. Much of its fame is due to the wonderful Saturn-Liulka AŁ-31F engines, which deliver 12500kg thrust with afterburners turned on, while being easy to service and interchangeable right and left and vice versa. In addition, unlike many previous Soviet designs, the SU-27 are characterized by a long service life of up to 3,000 hours when checked every 100 hours. This machine is at least comparable with the corresponding versions of the F-15 or PANAVIA Tornado ADV. The SU-27 is usually armed with short-range AA-73 Archer and long-range R-27 rockets, as well as the 30mm GSh-30-1 cannon used in the MIG 29. Its advantages are high accuracy and rate of fire (1500 rounds per minute), its disadvantage is the short life of the drum, which must be replaced after 80 seconds of shooting! The standard SU-27 radar is the RŁPK-27 device. The SU-27, together with the MIG 29 aircraft, are the basic fighters of the Russian Federation's air force.

The F-15 aircraft is the result of the experience gained from air combat over Vietnam, and is also the USAAF's response to the Soviet Mig-23 and Mig-25 fighters. It was created as part of the FX (Fighter Experimental) project, in which the winner was McDonnell-Douglas in 1969. When designing the F-15, particular emphasis was placed on the maximum reduction of service time. Mainly, on the one hand, it was based on the installation of elements that were as easy to use as possible, and on the other hand, the use of automatic systems, which kind of relieve people. As a result, the successor of the F-4 Phantom, surpassing it in all respects, can be served in half the time. Another strength of the F-15 is the pair of Pratt-Whitney F100 afterburner engines, which produce 4,500 kg more thrust than the machine itself weighs, allowing it to make tight turns without sacrificing great speed. In addition, it makes it possible to suspend a huge amount of additional weapons on 8 knots under the wings and fuselage. From the moment the F-15 entered service, several variants were created. The C and D versions are the second generation of single and double seater aircraft, respectively, replacing the A and B versions in 1979. Externally, they do not differ much from them, but the avionics underwent a comprehensive modification, which made the Eagle even more lethal weapon. In the 1980s, the F-15D also experimented with ASAT anti-satellite missiles. A version of the F15-E Strike Eagle was being developed at the same time. Contrary to the previous models, the E version is not only a hunting machine used for air superiority, but also an assault machine with a wide range of possibilities for attacks on ground targets. The E version entered service in 1988 and is expected to remain in the line until 2035. Another variant is the F-15J, exported and produced under license in Japan. F-15 aircraft were exported to several countries, including Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The F-15 turned out to be a very valuable machine, achieving air victories, among others. during Operation Desert Storm and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Technical data (version E): Maximum speed: 2660 km \/ h, climb speed: 255 m \/ s, practical ceiling 19500 m, maximum range: 5580 km, armament: fixed - 1 six-barrel M61A-1 20mm cannon, suspended - up to 10660kg load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcademy brings us a new model kit of the F-15E Strike Eagle known as Seymour Johnson!

The F-86 was the first mass-produced fighter capable of exceeding the speed of sound. The North American F-86 Saber was the U.S. primary fighter during the Korean War that was able to compete and successfully fight the Mig-15. It is estimated that the ratio of combat losses of both these machines is 2: 1 in favor of the American machine.

A dozen or so versions of the F-86 were created, which differed from each other in the built-up engine, weapons and tasks performed. Three versions are the most popular. F-86A, the first serial version, fulfilling the role of a fighter, 554 copies were produced. Another is the F-86D, with a new General Electric J47-GE-17 engine, a characteristically elongated bow part and a new horizontal tail. In total, 2504 units of this version were created.

The F-14A Tomcat is still one of the most efficient fighter-bombers in the world. Since its first flight in 1970, the F-14 underwent various improvements. Tamiya now provides an updated version of its famous 1\/32 scale replica of this big cat. New parts have been designed to replicate every antenna and sensor that has been fitted on the actual plane. You will also find parts to load your model with the latest weapons such as the GBU-16 and GBU-24 laser guided bombs as well as a AN\/AAQ-14 targeting pod \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe most outstanding aviation characteristic of the Tomcat has always been its variable geometry concept or swing-wings, which are computer controlled.

This characteristic has been reproduced on the model and you can represent the configuration you like.\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eGrumman F-14A Tomcat \"Black Knights\" \u003c\/b\u003e \r\n\u003cp\u003eEver since its first flight in 1970, the U.S. Navy's F-14 Tomcat has been one of the best top Air Defense Fighter. From 1990, in addition to its role as an interceptor, the F-14A, noted for its long range and superior weapons systems was designated as an air-to-ground strike plane. With this new role, the Tomcat was fitted with a new weapons arsenal. Since 1996, the F-14A employs the AN\/AAQ-14 targeting pod, referred to as the LANTIRN. This targeting pod gives the F-14A precision bombing capability by procuring targets for nose-mounted infrared laser or other laser guided weapons. The AN\/AAQ-14 targeting pod contains a high-resolution, forward-looking infrared sensor (which displays an infrared image of the target to the pilot), a laser designator-rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions, target tracking software, and more. The LANTIRN, combined with GBU-16 and GBU-24 guided bombs, enables precision striking with a minute margin of error from several meters down to tens of centimeters. This precision can be realized at long-range. The VF-154 Black Knights is attached to the USS Kittyhawk, homeported at Yokosuka Harbor, Japan. The Black Knights were formed after WWII, and were deployed to both the Korean and Vietnam War. F-14A were employed with the VF-154 from 1984, and used extensively in Operation Desert Shield during the Gulf War in 1990. \u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cui\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFighter-Bomber Grumman F-14A Tomcat plastic assembly kit.\u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003e1\/32 Scale \u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 598mm, Overall width: 612mm. \u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eThe form of the aircraft has been accurately rendered. \u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eKit employs metallic parts and screws to make the wing movable. \u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eA full range of armament including Phoenix missiles, GBU-16 and GBU-24 laser guided bombs are provided as well as a AN\/AAQ-14 LANTIRN targeting pod. \u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 3 figures, 2 pilots and a catapult officer, and decals for 5 aircraft.\u003c\/li\u003e \r\n\u003c\/ui\u003e ","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12968393867317,"sku":"T60313","price":239.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/8617\/3749\/products\/T60313.jpg?v=1650441101"},{"product_id":"tamiya-1-32-mitsubishi-a6m2b-zero-type-21-zeke","title":"Tamiya 60317 1\/32 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Type 21 Zeke","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe Legend Reborn \u003c\/b\u003e \r\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the early days of the Second Sino-Japanese War to the end of hostilities in the Pacific, the Mitsubishi Zero served as the main front line fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Among its many variants was the Mk.XVI, which was a Mk.IX airframe that was powered by a Merlin 266 engine license-built by Packard Motor Car Company in the United States. Most Mk.XVIs featured the larger rudder and E Type wing with two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm machine guns. With the introduction of the teardrop canopy, the rear upper fuel tank capacity was reduced to 33 gal. and that of the forward lower fuel tank was increased to 48 gal. to compensate. 1,054 Mk.XVIs produced were from September 1944 until July 1945. During the war, they were deployed on the European front and served as fighter-bombers. In the post-war period, the Mk.XVI was used by the RAF as well as the Belgian and Greek air forces until the early-1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Supermarine Spitfire was designed by R.J. Mitchell and its distinctive silhouette makes it one of the most widely-recognized fighters of WWII. Famous for its exploits during the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire continued to evolve to counter newer Axis aircraft. As a result of this evolution, numerous variants of the Spitfire were born and served with distinction in the RAF as well as the air forces of many other countries until well after the end of WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spitfre Mk.XVI was almost identical to the Mk.IX in nearly all aspects except that most were powered by a Packard-built Merlin 266 engine which had taller dimensions than the Rolls Royce 66 engine and featured a bubble canopy with a “low back” fuselage. Other new structural changes saw the Mk.XVI equipped with a larger 96 gallon main fuel tank, as well as two additional fuel tanks installed at the rear of the fuselage and a larger oil sump to allow it to flylonger distances. Mk.XVIes were mainly used in ground-attack roles and came with the “E” armament configuration of two 20mm cannons and two 12.7mm Browning machine guns. Also, as concrete tarmacs became more common as the war progressed, changes to the camber angle of the Spitfire’s landing gears were made to make for more efficient landings and take-offs. With the changes made to the new gun and cannon positioning, ammunition ejection ports, and the landing gear design, the wings featured new bulges compared to the Mk.IX. The Mk.XVIe, served with distinction throughout Europe for the latter half of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChallenging model production technology limits, the engine cowlings have an amazing 0.4mm thickness to allow for a fully accurate scale representation of the engine.

The completed model is 14.1cm long and 17.3cm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eElegant inverted gull wing design\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePowered by a massive 2000hp engine\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e141 mm long\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e173 mm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eIncludes\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes components to replicate:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e1000lb. bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003efuel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003etwo options for propellers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003etwo options for the tailwheel\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ethree different sets of decals\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDecals for three marking options.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12968395046965,"sku":"T60775","price":31.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/8617\/3749\/products\/t60775_1.jpg?v=1571709047"},{"product_id":"tamiya-1-48-a6m2-type-21-zero-fighter","title":"Tamiya 61016 1\/48 A6M2 Type 21 Zero Fighter","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDominant Zero\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a lightweight design, a 940hp Sakae 12 engine, and armed with two 7.7mm machine guns and two 20mm cannons, the A6M2 (Model 21) Zero was nearly invincible as Japan's military advanced across the Pacific in the early years of WWII.
