Nakajima B6N1 Model 11 Tenzan aircraft kit in 1/72 scale - Hobby 2000 model. The Nakajima B6N2 Model 12 "Tenzan" (Allied code name: Jill) was a Japanese embarked torpedo bomber developed by Nakajima for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. An evolution of the earlier B6N1, the B6N2 was designed to replace the B5N "Kate," improving performance and offensive capabilities, but operated in a context where Japan had now lost air and naval dominance. General characteristics Type: embarked torpedo bomber Entry into service: 1944 Main users: Imperial Japanese Navy Length: 10,86 m Wingspan: 14,89 m Height: 3,80 m Empty weight: 3,326 kg Maximum take-off weight: 6,600 kg Engine and performance Engine: Mitsubishi Kasei 25, 14-cylinder air-cooled radial Power: 1,850 HP Top speed: 482 km/h at 4,700 m Autonomy: 1,900 km (with war load), up to 3,300 km with additional tanks Operational tangency: 9.200 m The B6N2 replaced the B6N1's problematic Nakajima Mamoru 11 engine with the more reliable Mitsubishi Kasei 25, improving reliability and facilitating production. Armament Machine guns: 1 fixed 7.7-mm Type 92 machine gun mounted in the nose. 1 Type 92 7.7-mm machine gun on movable mount for rear gunner Warload: 1 800 kg Type 91 torpedo or 3 250 kg bombs or 6 bombs of 60 kg The armament was designed to attack enemy naval units with the torpedo as the main weapon, but could also be used for conventional bombardment. Operational role and use The B6N2 "Tenzan" entered service in 1944 and was used in major air-sea battles in the Pacific: Battle of the Marianas (1944) Battle of Leyte Gulf (1944) Battle of Okinawa (1945) Although it was an advanced aircraft, the operational environment was unfavorable: the Japanese Navy had lost many aircraft carriers and the Allied air dominance made operations difficult. In addition, the growing shortage of experienced pilots limited its effectiveness. Production and end of operations Some 1,268 examples of the B6N2 were built before the end of the war, but many were deployed from land bases due to the shortage of operational aircraft carriers. With the surrender of Japan in 1945, the B6N2 was withdrawn from service. Conclusion The Nakajima B6N2 "Tenzan" was an effective and improved torpedo bomber compared to its predecessor, but it entered service too late to have a significant impact in the war. Allied air superiority and a lack of experienced pilots limited its potential, making it one of the last embarked bombers in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Nakajima B6N1 Model 11 Tenzan aircraft kit in 1/72 scale - Hobby 2000 model. The Nakajima B6N1 Model 11 "Tenzan" (Allied code name: Jill) was a boarded torpedo bomber developed and produced by Nakajima for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Intended to replace the earlier B5N "Kate," the B6N proved to be a modern aircraft but plagued by mechanical problems and operational difficulties for the Japanese Navy in the final phase of the conflict. General characteristics Type: Embarked torpedo bomber Entry into service: 1943 Main users: Imperial Japanese Navy Length: 10,86 m Wingspan: 14,89 m Height: 3,80 m Empty weight: 3,326 kg Maximum take-off weight: 6,600 kg Engine and performance Engine: Nakajima Mamoru 11, 14-cylinder air-cooled radial Power: 1,870 HP Top speed: 465 km/h at 4,700 m Autonomy: 1,900 km (with war load), up to 3,300 km with additional tanks Operational tangency: 9.200 m The B6N1 used the Nakajima Mamoru 11 engine, but this proved problematic in terms of reliability, leading to the subsequent modification of the series with the B6N2, equipped with a more proven engine. Armament Machine guns: 1 fixed 7.7-mm Type 92 machine gun mounted in the nose. 1 Type 92 7.7-mm machine gun on movable mount for rear gunner Warload: 1 800 kg Type 91 torpedo or 3 250 kg bombs or 6 bombs of 60 kg The armament was designed to attack enemy ships, with the torpedo as the main weapon. However, on some missions, it was also employed as a dive bomber or conventional bomber. Operational role and use The B6N1 was employed by the Imperial Japanese Navy in numerous air-sea battles in the Pacific Theater, including: Battle of the Marianas (1944) Battle of Leyte Gulf (1944) Battle of Okinawa (1945) Although it was a more advanced aircraft than its predecessor, the Japanese Navy's difficulties in 1944-45, a shortage of experienced pilots and inefficient engines led to limited operational effectiveness. Evolution and replacement Due to problems with the Mamoru 11 engine, the B6N1 was replaced by the B6N2 Model 12, which used the more reliable 1,850-hp Mitsubishi Kasei 25 engine. This modification improved overall performance but did not change the fate of the aircraft, which operated in an environment where Japan had now lost air dominance. Conclusion The Nakajima B6N1 "Tenzan" was a technologically advanced torpedo bomber for its time, but its use was limited by mechanical problems and the inexperience of Japanese pilots in the last years of the war. Although the later B6N2 solved some problems, the aircraft failed to turn the tide of the conflict for Japan.

D and F variants were specific to the US Air Force and intended for tactical bombing and interdiction missions. The F-111F, in particular, was the final and most advanced operational version. 2. Motorization Both variants were powered by two Pratt & Whitney TF30 engines, with afterburners to achieve supersonic speeds. Maximum speed: about Mach 2.5 (2,655 km/h). 3. Avionics F-111D: It was equipped with advanced avionics systems for the time, such as AN/APQ-130 multi-mode radar, an inertial navigation system, and terrain tracking and mapping radar system. However, the avionics system was initially unreliable and complex, which led to operational delays. F-111F: Equipped with significant improvements over the D variant, with AN/AVQ-26 Pave Tack radar for laser targeting, which improved the accuracy of guided weapons. The F version had more reliable avionics optimized for low-altitude operations and accuracy. 4. Variable geometry wing The wings could be adjusted between 16° and 72.5° to optimize performance depending on speed and flight conditions: Open wings: for takeoff, landing and low-speed flight. Closed wings: for supersonic flight. 5. Armament Main weapons: Conventional and guided bombs. Nuclear weapons capability. F-111F: often used with guided munitions such as GBU-10/GBU-12 Paveway laser bombs. Internal cannon: A 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon was available in early versions, but was often removed to increase payload. 6. Operational use The F-111D and F-111F were used in various operations during the Cold War and thereafter: F-111F was one of the main aircraft in Operation El Dorado Canyon (1986), the bombing of Libya. During the Gulf War (1991), the F-111F demonstrated great effectiveness, destroying numerous targets with precision bombs. 7. Main differences between F-111D and F-111F F-111D: More advanced avionics system initially, but less reliable. Produced in limited quantities. F-111F: Improved and reliable avionics with laser targeting radar. Latest and most capable operational variant. 8. Legacy F-111D/Fs were retired in the late 1990s, replaced by more modern aircraft such as theF-15E Strike Eagle. They remain iconic for their pioneering role in the use of advanced technologies, such as the variable geometry wing and integrated avionics. The F-111D/F Aardvark is remembered as a groundbreaking aircraft that marked an era for the U.S. Air Force, combining power, versatility, and cutting-edge technologies for its time.

Junkers Ju 87 G-2 The Last Flight aircraft kit in 1/72 scale - Hobby 2000 model. The Junkers Ju 87 G-2 is a variant of the famous Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, a German dive bomber widely used during World War II. The G-2 version is specifically designed for the fighter role and is one of the latest evolutions of the Stuka, featuring heavy anti-tank armament. Main features of the Junkers Ju 87 G-2: Role: Specialized as a ground attack aircraft and fighter aircraft. Used mainly against Soviet tanks on the Eastern Front. Motorization: Equipped with a Junkers Jumo 211J engine, a 12-cylinder inverted-V engine that developed about 1,400 hp. Armament: Main: Two Bordkanone BK 3.7 caliber 37 mm anti-tank guns mounted in nacelles under the wings. These guns used armor-piercing ammunition capable of destroying tanks, particularly T-34 models. Secondary: An MG 81 Z (twin) 7.92-mm caliber machine gun mounted in the rear cabin for defense against enemy fighters. Bombardment: The anti-tank configuration limited the conventional war load capacity, reducing the use of bombs. Design: Based on the structure of the Ju 87 D, but adapted for the new role. It featured fixed landing gear and characteristic "inverted gull wings." Removed some unnecessary components, such as aerodynamic brakes, as dive bombing was no longer the priority. Performance: Top speed: About 300 km/h (lower than other contemporary aircraft, given its specialization and heaviness). Autonomy: About 500 km, sufficient for tactical missions. Operational use: Employed mainly on the Eastern Front against Soviet tanks. Famously used by Hans-Ulrich Rudel, one of the most decorated Luftwaffe pilots, who achieved many of his anti-tank victories with this variant. Strengths and limitations: Strengths: Lethal against tanks, thanks to 37 mm cannons. Durable and stable, ideal for ground attack role. Limits: Vulnerable to enemy fighter attacks due to low speed and lack of maneuverability. Heavy armament reduces speed and maneuverability compared to earlier versions. Legacy: The Ju 87 G-2 represents one of the best-known examples of the adaptation of an aircraft to new wartime requirements, but it also demonstrates the limitations of a design that dated back to the 1930s, at a time when war demanded faster and more versatile aircraft. The Junkers Ju 87 G-2 is one of the most iconic versions of the famous Stuka, a symbol of the Luftwaffe's power and its ground warfare strategies.

AIM-9 Sidewinder (a guida infrarossa). Capacità di trasportare bombe convenzionali e guidate, razzi e serbatoi di carburante. Non disponeva di un cannone interno nelle prime versioni, un aspetto che fu successivamente ritenuto una limitazione nei combattimenti ravvicinati (dogfight). Equipaggio: Pilota e ufficiale dei sistemi d'arma (WSO, Weapon Systems Officer), che gestiva i radar e le armi. Gli "Aces" dell'F-4C in Vietnam Durante la Guerra del Vietnam, l'F-4 Phantom II divenne uno dei principali caccia per l'USAF, e molti piloti raggiunsero lo status di ace grazie a questo velivolo. Ruolo nel conflitto: Impiegato in missioni di intercettazione, superiorità aerea e attacco al suolo. Combatté principalmente contro i MiG-17, MiG-19 e MiG-21 nord-vietnamiti, che erano agili e leggeri, ma meno avanzati tecnologicamente rispetto all'F-4. Ace statunitensi: Alcuni piloti dell'USAF si distinsero per abilità e coraggio. Tra gli ace noti dell'F-4C vi sono: Capitano Richard S. Ritchie: Primo ace della Guerra del Vietnam e decorato con la Medaglia d'Onore. Capitano Charles B. DeBellevue: Ufficiale dei sistemi d'arma che ottenne 6 vittorie confermate. Maggiore Steve Ritchie e Ufficiale Jeffrey Feinstein: Tra i più celebri nell'uso dell'F-4C. Strategia e Tattica: Gli scontri aerei (dogfight) richiedevano un uso efficace dei radar per individuare i MiG nemici. L'assenza di un cannone interno spinse i piloti a usare missili e tattiche di coordinamento per compensare. Significato storico L'F-4C Phantom II e gli "Aces" che lo pilotarono sono simboli della Guerra del Vietnam e del conflitto aereo della Guerra Fredda. Gli "Aces" dimostrarono le capacità di combattimento dell'F-4C nonostante le limitazioni del design originale, consolidando la reputazione del Phantom II come uno dei migliori caccia multiruolo del XX secolo.

Missioni Operative: Nonostante la sua funzione primaria di addestramento, era pienamente capace di svolgere missioni di attacco al suolo e supporto ravvicinato. Motore: Alimentato da un turboreattore Pratt & Whitney J52, che forniva una spinta adeguata per prestazioni affidabili in combattimento e addestramento. Velocità massima: circa 1.080 km/h. Armamento: Era equipaggiato con: 2 cannoni Colt Mk 12 da 20 mm, montati nelle ali. Punti di attacco per carichi bellici su ali e fusoliera, con la possibilità di trasportare bombe, razzi e missili aria-terra. Capacità di trasporto di serbatoi supplementari per estendere l'autonomia. Design e Modifiche: La fusoliera del TA-4 è stata allungata per accogliere un secondo abitacolo, mantenendo comunque la leggerezza e la manovrabilità del modello originale. L'avionica era aggiornata per includere sistemi avanzati di navigazione, targeting e comunicazione. In servizio con l'IAF: Israele ricevette le varianti A-4 Skyhawk dagli Stati Uniti a partire dagli anni '60, inclusi i TA-4H/J, che vennero largamente impiegati sia per l'addestramento sia per missioni operative. Durante le guerre arabo-israeliane, come la Guerra dello Yom Kippur (1973), gli Skyhawk dimostrarono la loro affidabilità e robustezza in condizioni di combattimento difficili. Durata operativa: Grazie alla loro versatilità e semplicità di manutenzione, i TA-4H/J rimasero in servizio con l'IAF fino agli anni '90, quando vennero gradualmente sostituiti da piattaforme più moderne. Importanza Storica Il Douglas TA-4H/J Skyhawk rappresenta uno degli aerei chiave per l'addestramento e le operazioni dell'IAF, contribuendo a formare una generazione di piloti israeliani e a consolidare la capacità dell'aeronautica in situazioni di conflitto. Il suo design semplice ma efficace lo ha reso uno degli aerei più longevi e apprezzati nella storia dell'aviazione militare.

1/72 Washington B.1The Boeing B-29 Superfortress (Model 341/345) was a strategic, four-engine, propeller-driven, medium-wing bomber developed by the U.S. aircraft company Boeing in the early 1940s, famous for taking part in the bombing campaign over Japan by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II and ushering in the nuclear age. It was also the largest and heaviest of the aircraft to have served operationally in the conflict.Born as a high-altitude day bomber, it was instead often used for low- and medium-altitude night incendiary bombing over Japan, as well as for dropping the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two examples that operated the atomic bombing were named "Enola Gay" and "BOCKSCAR." The B-29 was the single most expensive project of the entire Second World War: its development required investments of three billion dollars. It is considered the most effective bomber of the war in every respect as well as the most advanced Allied bomber.
