Bristol Beaufighter Mk.IF/VIF 'No.68 Sq. RAF'
The Bristol Beaufighter was a British heavy fighter, whose first prototype flew in July 1939. The Mk.IF was a high performance fighter and efficient night-fighter employing the then novel AI radar. It was a two-seat, twin engine, all-metal mid-wing cantilever monoplane, fitted with a retractable undercarriage. It was powered by two Hercules radial engines and the armament consisted of four cannons in the nose, four guns in the starboard wing and another two guns in the port wing. The Beaufighter Mk.VIF, introduced in 1942, was fitted with more powerful engines and its wing mounted guns could be replaced by additional fuel tanks to extend the aircraft's range.
Total production of the Mk.I (both F and C variants) reached 914 aircraft while some 1,840 Mk.VI aircraft were produced. Late series Mk.VIs were fitted with a dihedral tailplane with increased span. From late 1943, a new AI Mk.VIII radar was installed in a "thimble-nose" radome, enabling all-weather and night attacks.
Beaufighters were taken on charge by No.68 Sq. RAF in May 1941 and from the next July, the unit always had a strong element of Czechoslovak pilots in exile with up to eight flying crews consisting entirely of Czechoslovak personnel.
The Czech crews of No.68 Squadron were credited with 24 aerial victories (of which 3 were probable), seven damaged planes and three destroyed V-1 flying bombs.

Fiat G.50 'Initial Series' (2in1)
Description:Fiat G.50 'Initial Series' (2in1 = 2 kits in 1 box) Italian AF, Finnish AF
Two injection-moulded kits are supplied in this box and each kit contains 38 parts and one clear part (the cockpit windshield). A comprehensive decal sheet is included.
The Fiat G.50 was an Italian fighter aircraft designed in the mid-1930s, which became the most advanced fighter to be produced in Italy at that time. The prototype flew in February 1937, while the first production aircraft were delivered to the air force two years later.
In the autumn of 1940, an improved version with an extended combat range was introduced and designated the G.50bis. In total, production of the G.50 reached 784 aircraft in seven production series; 426 of which were manufactured by Fiat (Aeritalia) and another 358 were built by CMASA. 58 aircraft were exported: 13 G.50s to Spain, 35 aircraft to Finland and 10 went to Croatia.
It was a single-seat, all-metal low-wing monoplane featuring an open cockpit and a retractable undercarriage. It was powered by a Fiat A.74 two-row radial engine and was fitted with a Hamilton-Fiat propeller. The first versions of the G.50 were fitted with different configurations of armament: either a single or a pair of 12.7mm machine guns in the nose and an additional pair of 7.7mm guns in the wings. The Fiat G.50bis can be distinguished by the redesigned tail, addition of a larger rudder and relocated tail wheel.
The Fiat G.50s were extensively used on various fronts by Italy, including deployment in Belgium, North Africa, in the Balkans, in the Aegean and the Italian mainland. In Finland they served with distinction during the Winter War of 1940 and the Continuation War of 1941a"44 against the Soviet Union.
