The Battle of Britain proved very costly for all parties concerned, with aircraft losses over Britain in 1940 amounting to 313 machines between July and October.  During the closing days of the battle, Germany’s flagship aircraft, the Junkers Ju 88 A-4 went into service. Despite being slower than the A-1, the A-4 eliminated the troubles of the A-1. At last, the Ju 88 had matured into a fully fledged war plane.

This detailed 1:72 scale model kit by Airfix recreates the look and spirit of the prototype perfectly.

The heavily armoured Hawker Hurricane MkIIc was equipped with a powerful 20mm cannon, which also included a hardpoint for a 250lb or 500lb bomb. These were later replaced by fuel tanks in 1941. Having seen plenty of active service, the Hurricane’s performance was somewhat inferior to the latest German fighters, so the Hurricane’s role was switched to ground attack. The mark was also seen to serve as a night fighter and ‘intruder’

The Bf109E was at a distinct disadvantage during the Battle of Britain due to its comparatively short range. After escorting bombers from their resident bases in northern Europe, the Messerschmitt Bf109E had a limited 15 minutes of fuel left for active combat over the southern tip of England. Despite this though, in the hands of experienced fighter pilots, this agile aircraft proved to be quite the formidable opponent gaining full respect from RAF pilots.
