Only in Australia: Check out our in-stock RC Planes and Trains! (May Edition)

Originally designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the mid-1930s the Germans constructed over 33,000 Bf-109’s between 1939 – 1945 and they were flown in many theatres of operation. The Bf-109e was a fierce adversary for allied fighters such as the Hawker Hurricane and the legendary Supermarine Spitfire. With its lightweight design, retractable landing gear, destructive 20mm cannons, powerful Daimler-Benz liquid-cooled fuel-injected inverted V12 the Bf-109e would have made the Luftwaffe pilot feel nearly invincible.

Durafly’s 1100mm Messerschmitt Bf-109e is a fantastic scale rendition of the famous Luftwaffe fighter. The Durafly team has worked extremely hard to bring you the Bf-109e which is undoubtedly the best looking RC Bf-109e ever made. The Durafly Bf-109e has a modest 1100mm wingspan, scale electronic retracting landing gear, scale flaps, and a powerful brushless outrunner motor spinning a three-bladed scale propeller. Power is provided by an AeroStar 3736-770KV motor, AeroStar 50A ESC and when combined with a 2200mAh 4S Lipo battery this gives an outstanding performance to this agile WW2 fighter. There is even a fully functional bomb drop system complete with a scale bomb.

The Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 (NATO reporting name "Fresco") entered service in 1952. It was a further development of the successful MiG-15 jet fighter from the Korean War. The MiG-17 had major improvements including a new, thinner, and more swept wing and tailplane which allowed the aircraft to reach high subsonic speeds close to Mach 1 (the speed of sound).

The Avios MiG-17 Fresco captures the looks, style, and rakish lines of the full-size jet beautifully. The color scheme Avios has used is similar to the civilian MIG-17s flown in the United States by the "Black Diamond" Display Team painted in arctic camouflage. The MiG-17 is made of tough, high compression EPO, and pre-painted, but you're expected to apply the decals. The MiG-17 has a pre-installed 90mm 12 bladed fan unit with 3541/1550KV brushless outrunner motor, 100A ESC with 5A UBEC, 12 pre-installed metal geared digital servos, an aluminum retract system, split flaps, air brakes, and LED lighting. All you need is a battery and a 2.4GHz radio system.

The H-King Focke Wulf FW-190 is molded in all EPO foam and has a host of features that will make any scale enthusiast happy. Arriving in a plug and fly configuration, minimal work is required to get the FW-190 into the air. We have done the difficult work of installing the motor, servos, retracts, and even LED lights for you. Simply complete the final assembly, program your radio, and fly. Scale details include retractable landing gear like any good warbird should have, a sliding canopy, a faux machine gun, and other scale parts. The working split flaps have been updated. The scale 3 blade propeller rounds out the authentically look of the model.

The Focke-Wulf FW 190 Shrike or Butcher Bird was a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II. Powered by a radial engine in most versions, the Fw 190 had ample power and was able to lift larger loads than the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The Fw 190 was used by the Luftwaffe in a wide variety of roles, including day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft, and to a lesser degree, night fighter. The Fw 190 was well-liked by its pilots. Some of the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter aces claimed a great many of their kills while flying it, including Otto Kittel, Walter Nowotny, and Erich Rudorffer.

The Western Australian Government Railways L-Class was designed as an Australian version of the US SD40 model. They emerged from the Clyde Engineering plant at Sydney between 1967 and 1969. 23 were initially built, followed by an extra two for Western Mining in 1973. In 1972, two similar locos were built for Comalco’s railway at Weipa on the Cape York Peninsula. These were not fitted with dynamic brakes, and weighed 148 tonnes. The WAGR fleet was purchased to operate the new standard gauge railway from Perth to Kalgoorlie, which replaced the narrow gauge route in 1970.

This version of the L class diesel loco has the designation L271 and is in the Interail NORTHERN RIVERS blue, orange and yellow livery. It is DCC ready and has the pins installed for the Southern Rail "Sounds of Power" sound module. The loco is ready to run and features a 5 pole skew-wound motor with twin brass flywheels, all wheel drive, all wheel pick up, metal chassis and it has a super detailed underframe and body. The detail and finish of this loco are stunning and with its 5 pole motor and all-wheel drive, it runs beautifully on either an analogue or digital system. If your model railway is set in the diesel era of railways then one of these loco's is a must for your layout.

Features

• Highly detailed
• Factory painted and decorated
• Detailed cab interior
• 5 pole skew-wound motor
• Twin brass flywheels
• All wheel drive
• All wheel pick up
• Metal chassis
• Blackened metal disc wheels
• See-through metal etched grills
• Working headlights and marker light
• Genuine Kardee couplings
• DCC and sound ready

The early 1950s were a time of great plans and modern ideas, not least where the railways were concerned. Still recovering from the financial effects of the Second World War, many of these plans had to be implemented in a measured way. Electric traction was seen by the newly nationalised British Rail to be the answer and so attention was focused on new routes in the Southern Region, where third rail electrification had been in place since 1923. Much of BR’s Southern Region passenger traffic could be accommodated by the use of EMUs, but to cover the motive power requirement for 900-tonne freight services, as well as the "Night Ferry" and "Golden Arrow" workings, a new electric locomotive was required.The design specification was based on the experience gained in the previous fifteen years, through the operation of Bulleid’s CC1 & CC2, Class 70 locomotives. By adopting the continental practice of reducing the weight, without sacrificing tractive effort, a smaller engine could be built, resulting in a 750v DC, 77 ton, Bo-Bo locomotive, 24 of which were built by BR’s Doncaster works between 1958 and 1960.

The Hornby model of a Class 71 Bo-Bo is supplied DCC ready, it is plug n play, no complicated wiring is required. It is painted in BR Green with running number E5018 and has NEM close coupled couplings as standard. The Class 71 Bo-Bo is powered by a 5 pole skew wound motor which provides a smooth and powerful drive unit.
