Sold

Features very highly detailed cockpit and landing gear wells and more. From Bill Koppos on modelingmadness.com: Planning an aggressive war of expansion across far-flung regions, the Japanese Navy was looking for an air-superiority fighter with extreme long range capabilities. The specification 12-shi included range and armament requirements that scared off all bidders except one-Mitsubishi, with talented head designer Jiro Horikoshi leading the team. The new airframe was built with lightness paramount, as with the available engines the specs could only be met if every spare ounce was pared off. Extra-Super-Duralumium, an ultra light new alloy, was employed in the main spars. Pilot armor was not considered. To keep fuel capacity at a maximum, no fuel tank protection was used, and a expendable underbelly fuel tank planned from the start. Watching European developments, the J.N. required 20 Millimeter Cannon main armament. One was planned for each wing, along with the usual 2 7.7 machine guns. Wanting to use a company engine, the Mitsubishi Zuisei ('Holy Star') 13 power plant of 870 hp was installed in the machine. As there was no airfield adjacent to the factory, the aircraft had to be disassembled and transported (allegedly by oxcart) 25 miles to Kagamigahara airfield in Nagoya. Mitsubishi's legend first took to the air on 1 April 1939. Except for top speed, the fledgling fighter performed well, exceeding the 12-shi requirements. One problem was a dangerous vibration, another poor lateral stability. A second slightly modified prototype was added to the test program, this crashed without explanation, but testing went on. The vibration problem went away when a three bladed propeller replaced the original two blade unit, the stability fixed by lengthening the fuselage and redesign of the rudder and stabilizers slightly. The more powerful, but Nakajima designed Sakae 12 engine solved the speed problem. Thus appeared the familiar Zero-Sen, conqueror of the Pacific.

In early 1946, USAAF issued requirement for a new attack bomber in succession to the Douglas A-26 Invader. Martin Company proposed its design and won the competition with designation, XA-45. Soon later USAAF revised its requirement for better close-support bombing. Martin accepted the new requirement and received a contract for two prototypes; the project was redesignated XB-51. The first XB-51 made its 1st flight on Oct 1949. It became the fastest ground support bomber at that time. In 1950, with the Korean War outbreak, the USAF called for a need of new night intruder bomber. The XB-51 was entered in competition with English Electric Canberra. The XB-51 was faster but the Canberra had much better endurance. After a fly-off in 1951, the Canberra was chosen as the winner. In 1952 the XB-51 project was canceled. Although Martin lost the order for the XB-51, they received a license to produce the Canberra under designation B-57.
Fine Molds Kugisho R2Y1 Keiun, 1/72, FP23
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Sold
Rare. This an excellent injection molded model that features all fine recessed surface detail, 'good' cockpit with two crew stations, detailed gear wells and more. Includes a painting guide and full decals. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. From the website www.daveswarbirds.com: The Yokosuka R2Y Keiun ("Beautiful Cloud") was designed to be long-range high-speed land-based reconnaissance aircraft whose superior speed would hopefully prevent its interception by enemy fighters. A project with the designation R1Y1 Seiun (“Blue Cloud”) was started and resulted in a design similar to the P1Y1 Ginga bomber, but as calculated performance fell short of meeting requirements, the project had to be abandoned. A new design was started in 1943, and was designated the R2Y1. The R2Y borrowed from the German pre-war Heinkel He 119 in its use of coupled engines driving a single propeller. It also featured a tricycle undercarriage giving it an appearance similar to the Messerschmitt Me 509. Completed in April 1945, the prototype made a short flight on 8 May, but was destroyed in a US air raid only a few days later, thus ending development. A proposal was also made to develop the R2Y into a turbojet-powered light bomber by replacing its piston engines with two Ishikawajima Ne-330s. Designated the R2Y2 Keiun-Kai, the design was also begun to work on second prototype but it was never completed.
