Hobby Master Preorder News October 28, 2020 - www.DiecastAirplane.com World War II fighters, Cold War jets, and modern warbirds are all found in this diverse assortment of 10 new models. Among the highlights, you’ll find a replica of an F4F-3 Wildcat flown by Lt. Edward H. "Butch" O’Hare, the first USN Ace, and first Medal of Honor recipient for a Navy pilot. On February 20, 1942, flying the F4F-3 Wildcat with VF-3, O’Hare attacked a formation of nine Japanese bombers, single-handedly shooting down five, and damaging a sixth. Though O’Hare was later shot down during a separate mission, his name and exploits live on with Chicago’s O’Hare Airport and the USN destroyer USS O’Hare. Also in the new collection is a model of the Vietnam War-era F-4B Phantom II of the VF-111 "Sundowners," painted to replicate one of the squadron’s warplanes from November ’71 to November ’73 when aboard the USS Coral Sea. From the more recent past, there is also a model of an AV-8B Harrier II of the VMA-231 "Ace of Spades" Marine squadron that saw heavy use in the early part of 1991 in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. A final highlight is a RSAF F-5. With Britain withdrawing all its forces from Singapore and region by 1971 Singapore had to develop its own air force. One unit that eventually formed was the 144th Squadron "Blackite" on February 19, 1979. The Blackite is a mysterious bird that is unpredictable, precise and deadly. The 144th was equipped with Northrop F-5E/F and later upgraded to F-5S/T carrying Aim-120 AMRAAM. In 2014 F-5S 819 received a stunning work of art on its tail. The following year when the 144th Squadron was disbanded F-5T 853 received a similar but much more elaborate scheme. Buy for less at www.diecastairplane.com and Save Money up to Three Ways. 1.
