FIGURES NOT INCLUDED

AW-101 Merlin is a medium-heavy multirole helicopter developed by AgustaWestland (now Leonardo) in collaboration with Westland Helicopters. It was designed and developed based on requirements from both the British Royal Navy and the Italian Navy to replace the now-obsolete SH-3D “Sea King.” Entering service in the early 2000s, its primary role is that of an embarked anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopter. However, due to its operational flexibility, it is also well-suited, in its various configurations, for troop transport, maritime search and rescue (SAR), as well as combat SAR (CSAR) missions. It is capable of operating in extreme weather conditions and across all operational environments.Powered by three turbines, the Merlin reaches a maximum speed of 310 km/h and has an operational range exceeding 1,350 km.

1/72 MC.202 Folgore Aces

5 Regia Aeronautica ACES VERSIONS: Serg. Magg. Teresio Martinoli, Cap. Franco Lucchini, Cap. Maurizio Ruspoli, Cap. Natale Veronesi, Mar. Ennio Tarantola

The introduction of the Macchi MC 202 Folgore was a significant development for the fighter squadrons of the Italian Regia Aeronautica. Stylishly designed from an aerodynamical perspective, it was fitted with the powerful German DB 601 engine produced under license by the Italian aeronautical industry. The engine and overall aeronautical performance of the aircraft provided the Regia Aeronautica with a fighter capable of actively engaging Allied fighters. The flight performance compared to the previous generation of fighters equipped with radial engines, such as the Fiat G-50 and the Macchi Mc-200, was in fact much better. Manoeuvrable and fast (it was able to reach 600 km h), it was armed, in the early versions, with two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns installed in the nose. Only in later versions were the armaments improved with additional machine-guns installed in the wings.

The tank had a combat weight of approximately 46 tons and was powered by a high-performance Continental 12-cylinder V-type air-cooled engine delivering 810 hp, enabling a top speed of 45 km/h. Beyond the United States, the M-47 was widely used by various NATO armies throughout the Cold War. It proved to be a reliable and robust platform, remaining in service with several European armored units until the 1980s. Additionally, it saw combat in multiple operational theaters, ranging from the Middle East to the Indo-Pakistani conflict.

FIGURE NOT INCLUDED

The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French-built multirole fighter that entered service in the early 1980s. Initially developed as a single-seat aircraft optimized for air superiority and interception missions, it later evolved into the Mirage 2000D variant, specifically designed for ground attack and low-altitude penetration missions. Entering service with the French Armée de l’Air, the Mirage 2000D retained the signature delta-wing aerodynamic configuration of the Mirage 2000 but featured a two-seat layout, with a pilot and a weapons systems officer responsible for target acquisition and weapon management. The aircraft has been deployed in various operational theaters, including Libya and Afghanistan. Capable of carrying a diverse offensive payload for a wide range of mission profiles, the Mirage 2000D has undergone continuous avionics and electronic upgrades to extend its operational lifespan.
