History

Renowned as one of the most iconic aircraft to ever soar through the skies, the Supermarine Spitfire is as recognisable today as it was during the intense aerial battles of the Battle of Britain. Conceived as a short-range, high-speed interceptor, it drew inspiration from inter-war seaplanes that vied for the Schneider Trophy. Marking a significant leap in aviation technology over the biplane fighters prevalent in the mid-1930s, the Spitfire served throughout World War II, continually evolving to remain at the cutting edge of fighter design. Initially introduced as a temporary model, the Mk.V became the most produced variant, equipped with the more powerful Merlin 45 engine and an advanced universal wing, allowing for easy adaptation of different armaments.

To enhance the joy Airfix offers to many, these easier-to-build-and-paint Starter Sets are ideal for any novice. This exceptional model not only features a more child-friendly assembly but also includes a custom shadow-effect stand for display. Complete with painting guides, water-based acrylic paint, adhesive, and a brush, this kit is an excellent starting point for anyone's journey into model building!

Starter Set - Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II

Product code: A55010

This 1:72 scale replica of the sophisticated Lockheed Martin® F-35B® Lightning® showcases the UK's short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) model, engineered to function from conventional airstrips, the decks of Britain's two new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, or dispersed sites akin to the renowned Harrier. Comprising 42 parts and rated at skill level 1, this model embodies the unique design of a fifth generation multi-role combat aircraft that employs stealth technology to excel in hostile environments.

Key Features

• 1:72 scale model with 152mm wingspan
• 42 piece construction suitable for ages 8+
• Skill Level 1 - ideal for beginners
• Depicts the UK's STOVL 'B' variant of the F-35
• Modern-era combat aircraft design
• Plastic construction for detailed assembly

History

Recognised as one of the world's most advanced aircraft, the Lockheed Martin® F-35B® Lightning® is a fifth generation multi-role combat aircraft crafted to excel in aerial dominance, utilising stealth technology to remain undetected in adversarial airspace, targeting enemy strongholds, or transmitting crucial battlefield data to allied forces.

The United Kingdom has chosen the short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) 'B' variant of the F-35, enabling their aircraft to operate from standard airfields, the decks of Britain's two new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, and if necessary, from dispersed locations, much like the iconic Harrier did in the past.

In British service, the F-35 will not bear the Lightning II designation, as this new aircraft is actually the third to carry the name in RAF history, following the Lockheed P-38 from World War II and the celebrated English Electric Lightning from the Cold War period.

Starter Set - Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4

Product code: A55016

This remarkable 1:72 scale Starter Set lets you bring the powerful Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 to life on your workbench, complete with all essentials for assembly and painting. Comprising 43 parts and a skill level of 1, this kit is ideal for novices, offering an uncomplicated build and measuring 153mm in wingspan when finished. The set includes paints, glue, a brush, and decals, enabling the immediate creation of this fourth-generation combat aircraft that has safeguarded UK skies since 2006.

Key Features

• Comprehensive starter set with paints, adhesives, brush, and decals included
• Simplified skill level 1 construction with 43 parts, perfect for beginners aged 8+
• 1:72 scale model with a 153mm wingspan
• Depicts the RAF's current multi-role combat aircraft
• Single genuine RAF colour scheme
• Excellent introduction to scale modelling

History

Serving as the backbone of the contemporary Royal Air Force, the Typhoon has undergone continuous enhancements throughout its operational life, making it far more advanced than when it first arrived at RAF Coningsby in 2006. Now a common sight in the skies over Britain, the Eurofighter Typhoon stands as the RAF's present-day airspace guardian. While it was initially introduced in 2006 as a dedicated air superiority fighter, this fourth-generation combat aircraft has demonstrated capabilities far beyond that role.

Now recognised as the world's most sophisticated swing-role combat aircraft, the Typhoon has evolved into a genuine multi-role platform and is arguably among the most efficient combat aircraft in service today. It is equally proficient in conducting reconnaissance and precision strike missions as it is in intercepting the latest Russian aircraft entering British airspace.

To enhance the enjoyment Airfix can offer to many, these Starter Sets are ideal for any novice eager to hone their modelling skills. This exceptional model not only provides a more accessible building experience but also includes everything necessary to complete your first aircraft model.

Avro Lancaster B.III

Product code: A08013A

This detailed 1:72 scale model kit of the Avro Lancaster B.III represents one of WWII's most distinguished heavy bombers, comprising 235 finely crafted plastic pieces. With a skill rating of 3 and a completed wingspan of 432mm, this kit enables modellers aged 8 and above to construct Britain's iconic four-engined bomber with precision, featuring two genuine squadron paint schemes.

Key Features

• 235 piece plastic model kit in 1:72 scale with 432mm wingspan
• Skill level 3 - suitable for modellers aged 8 years and above
• Two authentic decoration schemes: R5868 S-Sugar 467 Squadron RAAF and LM624 57 Squadron
• Detailed representation of Britain's third four-engined heavy bomber to enter RAF service
• Part of the D-Day collection celebrating WWII aviation history
• Large unobstructed bomb bay allowing accurate recreation of the Lancaster's distinctive feature
• Primary construction material: high-quality plastic components

History

As the third of Britain's four-engined heavy bombers to join the RAF during WWII, the Avro Lancaster stood out as an outstanding aircraft, featuring a spacious bomb bay that enabled it to carry some of the largest bombs of the era. This exceptional capability made it crucial for strategic bombing missions throughout the war.

At least thirty-five Lancasters achieved an impressive milestone of completing 100 missions or more, earning the title Lancaster Centurions from historians and enthusiasts. These aircraft and their crews became legends within Bomber Command, a testament to both the Lancaster's robust design and the expertise of its pilots.

The two schemes provided in this model kit depict notable operational Lancasters: R5868 S-Sugar from 467 Squadron RAAF, and LM624 from 57 Squadron, both of which served with distinction during the conflict.
