On the night of 16/17th May 1943, a specially
formed squadron (617) conducted a daring
and audacious strategic raid on German
dams serving the industrial Ruhr valley.
Codenamed Operation Chastise the raid involved ying
19 specially modied Avro Lancaster bombers at low
level across hostile territory to deliver their payloads of
unique bouncing bombs that in theory, skipped across
the dam waters, and would explode at a set depth to
create such force as to breech the dams...

aircraft of No. 2 ight, took off from
RAF Scampton followed at 21:39
hours by No. 1 ight.

00:09
All 19 Lancasters were in
the air, with the rst of No.1
ight crossing the Dutch
coast at 00:09 hours.

Dambusters Special Feature

The Dambusters as they became famously


known afterwards, breeched two of the
target dams, the Mhne and Eder, losing
ten of the nineteen crews that set off, to
defensive gun re and ground collisions.
The raid provided a massive morale boost
for the British people and Gibson, who was
later awarded a VC for gallantry, became a
national hero.

Wing Commander

VC, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar

Roy Chadwick CBE


Sir Barnes Wallis
1889-1979
When war broke out in 1939, Wallis
turned his attention to what he could do
for Britain in defeating the axis powers.
Both Vickers and the air ministry were
anxious that Wallis continue his work on
aeroplane development. However he
spent much of his spare time pursuing
ideas which lead to Upkeep (bouncing
bomb) and later Tallboy and Grandslam.

17th
May
1943

1893-1947
He was considered as one of the
worlds greatest designers with aircraft
such as the AVRO; 504 Baby, Anson,
Lancaster, Lincoln, Tudor, York,
Shackledon and later the AVRO 698
which became known as the Vulcan
which had revolutionary delta wing
design (used in Concorde) and was a
front line aircraft for the RAF for over
30 years.

00:56
No. 1 ight arrived over the Mhne lake
and Gibsons aircraft (G for George)
made the rst run. After 5 runs and the
loss of a Lancaster the Mhne Dam was
breached by Dave Maltby (J for Johnny).

17th
May
1943

1918-1944
Gibson ew only the Dambusters raid
with 617 Squadron despite them ying
more precision bombing missions
after. The success of the Dambusters
eclipsed Gibsons previous outstanding
record and gave him a place in history.
He was awarded the Victoria Cross;
the highest and most prestigious award
for gallantry in the face of the enemy.
He was now the most highly decorated
pilot in the RAF and a national hero.

06:15
Only 9 of the 19
Lancasters returned to
RAF Scampton, the last
touched down at 06:15.

Starter Sets

Gift Sets

Classic Kits

Are ideal for beginners


and include glue, paint and
brushes with one nish option.

Are ideal for more advanced


modellers and include glue, paint
and brushes and in some cases
have multiple nish options.

A kit on its own without glue,


paint and brushes. Available in
multiple nish options depending
on the kit series.

1 PProduct code

The product code is unique to each kit and helps you


identify the kit of choice easily, assists you to navigate
through the Airx website accurately, determines the size
of the kit and usually the number of parts.
The Classic Kits product code also helps you to
understand the size of the model via the series system.
The kit series starts at 1 through to 25 (the higher number
the larger the kit). The rst two digits after the later A
determine the series of the kit. The example product code
left A05134 is Series 5.

2 SScale

The scale of the kit shows how large the model will be in
relation to the original. A 1:72 scale kit therefore is 72x
smaller than the original (1:48 = 48x smaller). The smaller
the scale number eg 1:24 = the larger the kit compared
to the original.

3 SSkill level

The skill level, from 1 to 4, explains how difcult the


model will be. A higher skill level kit often has more parts
and is more challenging to build.

4 


The side proles on the front show how many kit options
are possible and what they will look like (also shown
throughout Catalogue).

5 PPaint list
6 FFlying Hours

The paint list shows and explains the recommended list of


Humbrol paints on each box that enable you to create
the best nish to your model (Please note, this area is on
classic kits only. However, a full list of Humbrol paints
required are in the kit instructions).

Over the skies of Southern England in 1940 and 1941 the Spitfire
Mk1a and the Messerschmitt Bf110 were in deadly combat.
The Spitfires superior speed and firepower often won the day,
but the power of the Messerschmitt and the skill of its crew could
never be underestimated.

On May 21st 1982 during the Falklands War, Skyhawk A-4P


(A-307) was shot down by an AIM9L air-to-air missile fired by
Sea Harrier FRS.1 (XA457) of 800 Squadron. The Argentine pilot
ejected near the southern mouth of the San Carlos Strait; was

The Spitfire had the edge over the 109 in speed and climb, and
particularly in turning circle. He went on pulling round as sharply as he
could. I followed him without any difficulty and went on firing bursts at
him. There were puffs of black smoke and then a trail of white vapour
streamed from his aircraft This actual quote from a Battle of Britain
pilot tells of the dogfights between these two fighters in 1940.

As the Allies forced their way across Western Europe in 1944 getting
ever closer to Germany itself, the defending forces of the Luftwaffe
put up fierce resistance using such fighters as the Focke Wulf
Fw190A-8. These often came in contact with the formidable Hawker
Typhoon, who were undertaking ground attacks.

The Harrier was a close support aircraft with the primary role of
assisting NATO forces in the event of conflict. Its ability to operate
from hidden dispersals made it difficult for opposing forces to find
and destroy. With a full weapon load, the Harrier normally needed
a short take-off to get airborne. A wide array of weaponry could
be carried on the Harriers strong points. During the Falklands War,
Harriers carried PAVEWAY laser guided bombs and 30mm rocket
pods and also were ftted with Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.

speed, lack of crew armour and no self-sealing tanks, led to more
suitable roles for the Cat. Coinciding with the development of
effective radar, and Japanese reliance on night transport led to the
development of the Black Cat Squadrons.

1930 4.5 Litre Bentley

Code: A20440

The Bentley 4.5 Litre was a supercharged variant, also known


as the Blower Bentley. Famous for his statement theres no
replacement for displacement, Walter Owen Bentley upped
the displacement of the Bentley 3 Litre in 1926 to produce the
4.5 Litre. Upon taking control of the company, the Bentley
Boys went in search of even more power and developed the
supercharged model in 1929 at Henry Birkins racing workshops
in Welwyn Garden City. The total production of the 4.5 Litre
was 720 between 1927 and 1931. Of these, 55 were fitted
with superchargers.

Angel Interceptor
The five Angel Interceptors operating from Cloudbase are armed with air-to-air and air-to-ground rocketlaunchers, as well as a main machine-gun cannon (firing heat seeker and armour-piercing shells, etc). These
Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) jet-fighter combat craft are powered by twin, turbo-jet compressors
feeding twin Spectra-Fan air ramjets.

Stratos 4 TSR.2MS
In the second millennium the earth has been exposed to the menace of approaching comets. To prevent the
disaster by comet impact, the earth is protected by the TSR.2MS interceptor aircraft from a ground-based
Meteor Sweeper group. She is lifted off by ZELL (Zero-length launch) like a surface-to-air missile, flying to
mid-altitude using two jet engines and rockets equipped under the wings. She locks onto a meteorite and
destroys it with a big missile.
This is the story of the Stratos 4 series from Japan this aircraft based on the TSR.2 with added parts for the
science-fiction TSR.2MS interceptor. The original TSR.2 model can also be built from this kit and it includes
decals for the iconic prototype aircraft from the 1960s.

Space
Shuttle

Code: A10170

The Space Shuttle


was the first orbital
spacecraft designed
for reuse. It carried
different payloads
to low Earth
orbit, providing
crew rotation for
the International
Space Station
(ISS). The orbiter
could also recover
satellites and other
payloads from
orbit and return
them to Earth.
Five space-worthy
orbiters were
built: Columbia,
Challenger,
Discovery, Atlantis,
and Endeavour.

Vostok 1

Saturn 1B

One of the most


successful space
designs ever, the
initial flight of the
Vostok which
carried the first
human being
into space was
launched on April
12 1961. Vostok 1
carrying cosmonaut
Yury A. Gagarin
made a single orbit
of Earth before
re-entry.

The Saturn 1B
served as test-bed
rockets for the
larger and more
powerful Saturn V
that carried man
to the first Moon
landing. Along
the way towards
developing the
Saturn V, the
Marshall Centre
also used the
Saturn I for two
early scientific
efforts. One was
called Project
Highwater. The
second was
called Pegasus.

Saturn V
Skylab

Apollo
Saturn V

In May 1973
Skylab was
launched using a
two-stage Saturn
V, sometimes
called a Saturn
INT-21. It was the
only launch not
directly related to
the Apollo lunar
landing program.
Three crews lived
aboard Skylab
from May 25,
1973 to
February 8, 1974.

The Saturn V
was the largest
operational
launch vehicle
ever produced.
Standing over 363
feet high with its
Apollo Spacecraft
payload, it
produced over 7.5
million pounds of
thrust at lift-off. It
enabled the crew
of Apollo 11 and
subsequent Apollo
crews to leave the
pull of the Earths
gravity and reach
the Moon.

Beam Engine
The Beam Engine was
widely used in British
Industry in the massive
expansion that was to
become known as the
Industrial Revolution.
These, sometimes huge
engines, were often used
for pumping water from
mines, but were also
extensively operated in
many heavy industries.

1804 Steam Loco


Richard Trevithick was a
young engineer who was
responsible for one of
the most important of all
inventions the first steam
locomotive. In 1795, when
he was only 25 years old,
he was building working
models of high-pressure
steam engines. In 1804 his
first steam locomotive the
Penydarren, was unveiled
and ran at the heartstopping speed of 5mph.

Code: A07870

4 Stroke Petrol Engine


The 4 stroke engine
symbolises the modern
world, being the engine
powering most cars since
the beginning of the 20th
Century. Once built this
marvellous kit moves as
an internal combustion
engine does in which the
piston completes four
separate strokesintake,
compression, power, and
exhaust. All the movement
can be seen through the
cut-outs in the model.
Code: A08870

Maudslay Paddle Engine


Joseph Maudslay (1801-1861)
patented the Oscillating engine
in 1827. This was one of the
most popular marine engines
in the paddle steamers of
the nineteenth century and,
in 1828, was fitted to the
Thames steamer Endeavour
which ran between London
and Richmond until 1840.
This fascinating kit has
moving parts and shows the
wonderful movement of this
classic Victorian engine.

the development of engines

Code: A05871

Both these kits are available from many Airfix and Humbrol stockists
and are a fabulous way to build and understand the two major types
of engine used by todays modern world. Both come in kit form but
with no gluing needed. All the major components work as they do
in the real engine, so theyre a great way to learn about how the real
thing is constructed and works.

Jet Engine

Code: A20005

With spinning turbo fans and a variable


speed control, this is a brilliant way to
understand the working features of the
jet engine. Coming in 50 parts this
working model is easily constructed
into a really fun item.

Internal
Combustion Engine

Code: A42509

With the sound of the start-up


and the engine firing, this fantastic
engine is a marvellous and fun way
to learn about the Internal Combustion
Engine. Over 100 pieces to put
together makes all the details
come alive.
