Modelling the US Army M4 (76mm) Sherman Medium Tank
    Author: Steven J Zaloga
    About this bookThe
    Sherman tank was the
    principal US and Allied
    tank of World War II -
    more Shermans were built
    than all German tanks
    combined. Not only were
    large numbers of Shermans
    manufactured, but a
    large number of variants
    emerged powered by
    different types of
    engines and with
    different types of hulls,
    turrets and other
    details, making it an
    ideal subject for any
    modeller. Steven J Zaloga
    takes on the Sherman tank
    in this book, providing
    a guide to four variants
    across a range of
    different skill levels,
    depicting differing
    colour schemes and
    techniques which are
    examined and illustrated
    in lavish full-colour
    step-by-step photographs.

O.S. MAX 55HZ Hyper (L-OS15630)
    O.S. MAX 55HZ Hyper
    (L-OS15630) The max
    50SX-H Hyper has
    established an enviable
    reputation for power,
    reliability and ease of
    use. The Max 55HZ Hyper
    moves that to a whole new
    level! Designed primarily
    with the demands of the
    3D pilot in mind, the
    55HZ Hyper delivers 61
    size performance in a 46
    size crankcase. That
    power comes from the
    extensive experience that
    OS has gained over many
    years and working
    extensively with the
    worlds top pilots to
    refine all aspects of the
    engine without compromise
    in any area. By using the
    same mounting layout,
    you can drop a 55HZ into
    any model that previously
    suited the 50SX-H without
    modification. Just the
    area around the new
    carburettor is a little
    bigger and may require
    adjustmenst to the
    cooling shroud. This
    entirely new engine
    shares almost nothing
    with the 50SX-H and has
    some new features not
    seen on an engine of this
    size before. The rear
    bearing is now designed
    to resist corrosion, the
    new 40L carburettor has
    three adjustments to
    cater for idle, mid
    range and full power.
    Until now, these
    features were the domain
    of 61 class engines or
    bigger. The throttle arm
    has four leaves so that
    push pull control is easy
    from any direction. The
    heatsink head is bigger
    for improved cooling as
    well. For the first time,
    OS is also offering a
    matching tuned muffler as
    an option part and has
    been optimised to extract
    the maximum performance
    from the 55HZ Hyper. Part

P-40B
    The Curtiss P-40 was
    undoubtedly one of the
    most controversial
    fighters to serve in
    quantity during the
    Second World War. It was
    praised and abused,
    lauded and vilified, but
    the fact remains that,
    as the first American
    single-seat fighter to be
    manufactured on a
    mass-production basis,
    it bore much of the brunt
    of the air warfare over
    several battle fronts.
    Its performance was
    inferior to the
    performances of the
    majority of its
    antagonists, but this
    shortcoming was partly
    compensated for by its
    tractability and its
    sturdiness which enabled
    it to withstand a
    considerable amount of
    punishment. It was
    amenable to adaptation
    and it was available when
    most sorely needed.

P51 Mustang Large Scale RC Plane Red PNP Version
    P51 Mustang Large Scale
    RC Plane Red PNP Version
    The P-51 Mustang was a
    single seater fighter
    plane, which was
    designed and built for
    World War II. The Royal
    Air Force used it as a
    fighter bomber, a
    reconnaissance plane,
    and as a bomber escort on
    raids over Germany in
    1944. It was powered by a
    supercharged Rolls Royce
    Merlin engine and was
    fitted with six. 50
    caliber (12.7 mm) M2
    Browning machine guns.
    Rearward visibility was a
    problem with WW2 fighter
    planes and this was
    solved by using a bubble
    or teardrop canopy. This
    new type of canopy was a
    development in the P-51D
    version, considered the
    definitive Mustang, and
    is the model we have for
    you here. Dago Red is a
    P-51 Mustang, restored
    as a competitive air
    racer by Frank Taylor in
    1981. Dago Red holds
    several world records,
    including the 15 km
    (517.323 mph) set in
    1983. This model is an
    exact replica of this
    famous model. Bright red
    and huge with its 1600mm
    wingspan - yes thats well
    over five feet, it is
    bound to be an
    eye-catcher wherever you
    fly it. Its massive scale
    not only looks amazing
    but adds to the stability
    of the aircraft which
    makes it easier to fly,
    but also means you can
    take this one out even in
    windy conditions. It is
    almost completely built
    straight out of the box,
    only a few minutes of
    minor final assembly
    steps will be required,
    plus the extra components
    which arent included such
    as the receiver,
    transmitter, battery and
    charger to get this
    legend of the 20th
    century airbourne. This
    model is well made,
    although lightweight,
    and it is built to be
    crash resistant, and to
    give a long life of fun
    flying. The P-51D is
    exceedingly stable, and
    will fly at low speeds,
    which makes it safe and
    fun, even for the
    beginner. It is also
    possible to fly these
    planes at low altitude,
    great for when youre
    learning so those crashes
    arent too severe! Like
    all our Starmax PNP
    models, the P51 Mustang
    is built to a very high
    standard and designed to
    reflect the looks of the
    real model faithfully.
    This model even has
    retractable
    undercarriage, and
    flashing LED lights to
    add to the realism. It is
    equipped with a very
    powerful brushless motor,
    an ESC and most of the
    necessary electronics
    installed. All you need
    to get this bird airborne
    is a transmitter,
    receiver, a Li-po
    battery and charger.

The Story Of Bomber Command
    In 1939, small groups of
    airmen set out, day
    after day, night after
    night from air bases all
    over Britain. Their
    destinations…were the
    towns and cities,
    factories and docks,
    rail yards and oil
    refineries of Germany and
    the lands it had
    ruthlessly occupied.
    Their mission…..to
    destroy the power of Nazi
    Germany to wage war
    against Britain, as
    effectively and as
    intensively as possible.
    The men…..were the men
    of RAF Bomber Command,
    almost half of them were
    never to return. This is
    their story…..told in
    graphic detail by the few
    remaining survivors and
    by their former enemies.
    Illustrated with gripping
    and starkly dramatic
    footage filmed under
    combat conditions in a
    world at war. This volume
    contains all the major
    operations undertaken by
    Bomber Command from 1939
    through to the final
    victory in 1945.

P-51 Mustang I Razorback
    The most famous P-51
    Mustang fighter plane had
    its debut in 1942 with
    the Royal Air Force. It
    was supplied by the
    United States to the
    Allies to combat the Axis
    Forces. This first
    version was equipped with
    an Allison engine, but
    was no match for the
    enemy Bf-109 or FW-190
    fighters. It was the base
    for the subsequent
    versions which were
    equipped with Rolls-Royce
    engines.This first P-51
    served honorably in the
    U.S. Air Force in the
    Mediterranean and Far
    East operations.Scale
