Interesting facts about your F-100C Super Sabre The North American F-100 Super Sabre is an American supersonic jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1971 and with the Air National Guard until 1979. The first of the Century Series of USAF jet fighters, it was the first USAF fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight, clocked at 822 miles per hour. The F‑100 was designed by North American Aviation as a higher-performance follow-on to the F-86 Sabre air-superiority fighter. The F-100C was powered by a Pratt and Whitney J-57 Turbo-jet engine with afterburner, and is rated in the 10,000 pound thrust class. It had a wingspan of 38 feet with the wings sweeping back at an angle of 45 degrees and an overall length of 47 feet. Its armament consists of 4 x 20mm cannons and its fire power can be further increased by the use of externally mounted rockets. Adapted as a fighter-bomber, the F-100 was superseded by the high-speed Republic F-105 Thunderchief for strike missions over North Vietnam. The F‑100 flew extensively over South Vietnam as the air force's primary close air-support jet until being replaced by the more efficient subsonic LTV A-7 Corsair II. The F‑100 also served in other NATO air forces and with other U.S. Allies. In its later life, it was often referred to as the "Hun", a shortened version of "one hundred". By 1972, the F-100 was mostly phased out of USAF active service. In foreign service, the Royal Danish Air Force and Turkish Air Force F-100s soldiered on until 1982. Many F-100's have survived and are on display in Air Museums across the globe.The Black Panther squadron insignia illustrated on your box cover and supplied on your decal sheet is the insignia used for the 21st day fighter squadron (active until 1959) which will add some authentic detail on your Atlantis model.

TAMIYA 1/72 N.A. F-51 MUSTANG
Description:
Sketched out in a New York city hotel in April 1940, the North American Aviation Corporation NA73X went on to become one of the best fighters to come out of World War 2. The U.S. Army Air Corps gave it the title of P (for Pursuit) 51, and it was named Mustang by the British. Of the several variations of the Mustang, the P-51D is considered the definitive version and was the first to have the bubble canopy. More "D" models were built than any other variant, with a total of 9,603 being produced. Armed with six .50 caliber machine guns, three in each wing, with 400 rounds for each inboard gun and 270 rounds for the other four, plus underwing pylons for auxiliary fuel tans or 1000lb bombs, the Mustang was a true fighter pilots airplane. At the conclusion of WW2, Mustangs were in operation all over the world, flying in several nations air forces. When the Korean conflict broke out, hundred of F (for fighters) 51"s were in Japan awaiting scraping. Because they possessed too slow speed maneuverability that was absent in the new jets then entering service, the F-51 was ideal to work with Forward Air Controllers (FAC"s) on the ground in Korea. The major drawback to this was the F-51"s liquid cooled engine susceptibility to anti aircraft and small arms fire when attacking ground targets. This caused the Mustang to have the highest loss ratio of any aircraft in Korea. A total of 194 were lost in three years, with only 10 being downed in combat with other aircraft.

1:72 Tamiya Vought F4U-1A Corsair
Description:
Introduced into service in 1942, the Vought F4U-1 featured inverted gull wings and a massive 2,000hp engine spinning the largest propeller mounted on a fighter at the time. While the fighter?s performance and toughness was quite impressive, deficiencies such as inadequate forward visibility, restricted all-round visibility due to the early frame-like canopy, and the tendency for the left and right wings to stall at different speeds led to various improvements being added throughout production, eventually resulting in the F4U-1A version. These improvements included a longer tailwheel leg for better forward visibility, a new canopy for better all-round visibility, and an almost unnoticeable 15cm ?stall strip? fixed to the leading edge of the right wing to ensure both wings would stall at the same speed. = About the Model = * 1/72 scale assembly model kit of the Vought F4U-1A Corsair * Kit depicts a final F4U-1A Corsair production version with all improvements or versions at different stages of the improvement process. * Parts for 1000lb. bomb, external fuel tank, two types of propellers, and two types of tailwheel are included to provide many modelling possibilities * High quality decals for 3 different sets of markings

About Your P6M SeaMaster. The Glenn L. Martin Company, builder of the famous China Clipper, and well known for a line of successful seaplanes, designed and built the world's first multi-jet seaplane bomber, the P6M-1 SeaMaster, in the early 1950's. While the jet age was still in its infancy, this remarkable seaplane displayed several advanced features in addition to a flashing performance for such a large seaplane. The SeaMaster was developed for the Navy specifically for mine laying and photo reconnaissance duties, and was capable of operating from nearly any large body of water. To preserve the clean lines of it's sleek hull, the SeaMaster carried its weapons in a unique revolving bomb bay, which rotated to empty it's lethal cargo at high speed, yet retained a watertight seal in the hull when closed. The weapons were loaded through a hatch in the top of the fuselage while the plane rested in the water.
A crew of five operated the SeaMaster, which was armed only with a remotely-fired barbette of twin 20mm cannons in the tail, as its speed was equal to any interceptor likely to attack and the enemy could only approach from the rear. The first flight of this Advanced Patrol bomber took place in July 1955, at which time six YP6M-1 and twenty-four P6M-2 versions were ordered. However, just as production of the big flying boat was getting underway, the program was cut back and only eleven SeaMasters were completed. The last three were P6M-2's with bubble canopies and more powerful engines.

ATLANTIS 1/48 JN-4D Curtiss Jenny
Description:
The Curtiss JN "Jenny" was a series of biplanes built by the Curtiss Aeroplane Company of Hammondsport, New York beginning in 1915. Although the Curtiss JN series was originally produced as a training aircraft for the US Army, the "Jenny" (the common nickname derived from "JN") continued after World War I as a civil aircraft, and it became the backbone of American postwar civil aviation. Pilots found the Jenny's stability and slow speed made it ideal for stunt flyingand aerobatic displays in the barnstorming era. Many Jenny's have been restored and are on display in Air Museums all across the nation.

ATLANTIS MODELS 1/104 PBY-5A Catalina US Navy Seaplane Plast
Description:
This kit comes from the classic Monogram tooling. This was of the first Aircraft kits they produced along with the B-26 and the B-25 which we also own the tooling for. The kit features engraved markings and lots of rivets but is a classic. It has a wingspan of 12 inches and measures 8.25 inches long. Decals are included for 2 versions and it comes with a nice sprue of clear parts, 6 in total. The old artwork was laid to bed and we had Don Greer create new artwork based on a PBY rescuing the men from the ill fated USS Indianapolis. We will include an oval logo on the decal sheet if you wish to mount your PBY on our clear globe swivel stand sold separately.
One of the most recognizable aircraft employed by the U.S. Navy during World War II, the Consolidated PBY-5A “Catalina” patrol bomber proved to be strategically indispensable for the elimination of U-boats from high above the tumultuous Atlantic Ocean. After four design iterations since its first flight in 1935, a fifth incarnation incorporated amphibious capabilities. Today, the Catalina is often cited for its part in the rescue of survivors from the torpedoed U.S.S. Indianapolis in 1945, risking 12-foot swells to save crew members helplessly adrift in shark-infested waters.
