As the Myasishchev OKB was striving to develop the huge 3M subsonic bomber, this design bureau was assigned the addition...
Sikorsky S-67 In 1964, U.S. Army lunched the AAFSS specification, that calling for an aircraft with a high-speed cruising and long-time hovering capability. Sikorsky submitted the S-66 pusher tail rotor project that competitor with Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne. The AH-56 won the contest but failed to meet the expectations. For intended to replace the AH-56, Sikorsky self-venture developed a simplified AAFSS that used a number of ex...
North-American YF-93A. In 1946, USAF recognized all the early jet fighters were lacked sufficient range to escort bombers to the target. So the proposal for a penetration fighter were requested. In 1947, North-American responded with the proposal for a revised version of North-American F-86A, which the fuselage size was enlarged for bigger internal fuel tanks to increase its range. The extra fuel increased weight so the more p...
Kugisho MXY-6 Test-bed of the Kyushu J7W Shinden. In 1943, the IJN issued an 18-shi specification for a new interceptor. Kyushu submitted a design with canard foreplanes, the J7W Shinden. Despite some opposition to the design, the IJN was intrigued enough to accept the proposal. However, the design had to show promise and the canard configuration needed to be proven before the IJN would authorise further development. Therefore...
Douglas XB-19 / XB-19A Hemi-sphere Defender. Also includes BONUS kits of the Tucker XP-57, Bell XP-59A Airacomet and Curtiss XP-60C. In 1935, the USAAC launched a top secret project for a super long-range 'Project-D' bomber. The Army issued contracts for preliminary design to two aircraft companies, which were designated as Douglas XBLR-2 and Sikorsky XBLR-3. In 1936, the mockups of two designs were inspected. The Douglas prop...
Convair XP5Y-1 Tradewind Includes bonus kits of the Convair XF2Y-1 Sea Dart, Douglas F3D-2 Skyknight, Douglas XA2D-1 Skyshark. In 1944, the U.S. Navy asked the industries to enter a design competition for a 105,000 pound patrol boat powered by four radials. At the end of the war, two Blohm-und-Voss Bv.222 flying boats were captured by U.S. forces. Convair acquired one for evaluation at Naval Air Station, the intensive studies ...
Sound Barrier Breakers set of 6 aircraft. Including Bell X-1, Bell X-2, Douglas X-3 Stiletto, Douglas D558-1 Skystreak, Douglas D558-2 Skyrocket, Douglas D558-3 Skyflash.
Martin-Boeing XMS-1. Original Dyna-Soar configuration. In 1945, millions of German military documents were confiscated by USAAF. One of the concept was the Sanger aerospace bomber. During post-war years, Bell was selected for further studies on rocket-bomber which named BoMi. In 1956, the USAF channeled Bell's development to a reconnaissance, bombardment vehicle. A competition for a prototype was opened. In 1959, Boeing won th...
VFW-Fokker VAK-191B German vector thrust VTOL. In 1962, the West German government launched an requirement for the new ground attack fighter to replace the Fiat G.91. In the meantime NATO had launched a program for VTOL combat aircrafts. The Germans decided to work on the second VTOL fighter. After consideration of various options, the effort focused on the Focke-Wulf Fw.1262 design. This was further developed in a partnership...
Budd C-93/RB-1 Conestoga. In 1941, the U.S. War Department required for a twin-engine transport comparable in performance to the Douglas C-47, to be constructed of "non-strategic materials". At the time, U.S. government feared that the thousands of new aircraft needed for the war effort might create shortages of aluminum alloys. Sprang from this requirement, the Curtiss C-76 and Fairchild C-82 were to be constructed of wood. A...
Japanese experimental defensive airplanes special set vol.2 - Imperial Japan Army. Includes Mitsubishi Ki-109 / Rikugun Ki-93 / Kawasaki Ki-103B Randy / Mitsubishi Ki-167
Mitsubishi Ki-109 - A heavy fighter that was to be used against the American B-29s at high altitude, but the Allied began making night raids at low altitude. The Ki-109 was no longer needed.
