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) 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 number X-OS72144000.

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 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.

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.
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 1:72
