They helped win the Battle of the Atlantic against German u-boats, while in the Pacific they provided massive air support for the Marines' landing operations to subsequent islands, both fighter cover and assault operations against ground targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vast majority of escort carriers, both on British and US orders, were built in US shipyards. Mass and rapid production was made possible by basing the design on existing cargo ship designs and even on finished hulls. By the end of the war, their number - hard to believe - had reached about 130, in five basic types: Long Island, Bogue, Casablanca, Sangamon and Commencement Bay, as well as their transferred Royal Navy counterparts, named the Ruler and Attacker types.\u003cbr\u003e\nFighters and torpedo-bombers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn escort carriers, due to their small size, composite air squadrons consisting of fighters and bomber\/reconnaissance\/torpedo aircraft were usually stationed. The Americans primarily used Wildcats and Avengers, while the British used Sea Hurricanes or Martlets\/Wildcats (less often Seafires) in teams with Swordfish or Tarpon\/Avengers. In addition, in the Pacific, escort carriers brought new aircraft from US factories to the front, both naval (e.g., Hellcats, Corsairs), as a supplement to carrier-based squadrons or Marines, and fully land-based aircraft such as the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning, P-39 Airacobra, P-40 and many others. In the final period of the war, British ships also carried out similar tasks, it even happened that they transported a bomber squadron equipped with twin-engine Mosquitoes to Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\nEquipment and camouflage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical escort carrier deck of all major types looked the same: it was covered with solid planks, separated by distinctive metal strips with hooks for anchoring aircraft. The planks were usually stained in camouflage colours, depending on the period and the country using the ship. Intensive use and weathering meant that the colours of the deck were very varied, giving excellent opportunity for the modeller wishing to demonstrate his skills in weathering. Also universal was the equipment provided in the kit in the form of free files for self-printing on a 3D printer: arrestor cable mounts, British and American versions of wheel chocks, bomb carriage.\u003cbr\u003e\n3D files for self-printing (QR code for download available on the packaging)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eFile for self-printing on a 3D resin printer, consumer license for non commercial use\u003cbr\u003e\n    See the therms and regulations for using files §4a link.\u003cbr\u003e\n    How to use file?

It was called the Martlet II by the British. Known for its ruggedness and good adaptation to operating from aircraft carriers, the aircraft took part in many important naval battles in 1942-43. The F4F-4 version, equipped with folding wings, made it possible to increase the number of aircraft aboard escort carriers, which was important in operations in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring Operation Torch in November 1942, F4F-4 Wildcats stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger and three escort carriers (USS Suwanee, Sangamon and Santee), as well as British Martlets from the carriers HMS Formidable and Victorious, supported the landing of Allied forces in North Africa. The planes wore distinctive yellow borders around the American stars on the fuselage and wings. American stars also marked British aircraft at the time. The idea was to identify them quickly against the Vichy government's French planes, but also to neutralize the resentment of the French against the British.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter this operation, American escort carriers with Wildcats moved on to new assignments in the Pacific, supporting operations in the Solomon Islands, including the battles for Guadalcanal. The yellow markings from Operation Torch were then painted over with a camouflage colour, which can be seen in photos as a fresh border around the stars. British aircraft after Operation Torch were quickly repainted with standard British markings of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341713768715,"sku":"70065","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70065-grumman-f4f-4-wildcat-martlet-mk-ii.jpg?v=1748868058"},{"product_id":"airfix-a04104a-1-48-de-havilland-dh-82a-tiger-moth","title":"de Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the perspective of a student pilot, the de Havilland Tiger Moth was a relatively stable and forgiving aircraft to fly, possessing few handling vices and being generally supportive of the odd silly mistake by the novice pilot.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eIt quickly gained a reputation as being an ‘easy aeroplane to fly, but a difficult one to fly well’, qualities which seemed to make this the ideal aircraft to serve as a primary\/basic trainer for large numbers of pilots destined to fly operationally during WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of the war, the RAF had around 500 Tiger Moths in service, but would requisition hundreds more from flying clubs up and down the country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234351644939,"sku":"A04104A","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/airfix-a04104a-de-havilland-dh_82a-tiger-moth.jpg?v=1749030652"},{"product_id":"airfix-a06102a-1-48-supermarine-seafire-f-mk-xvii","title":"Supermarine Seafire F Mk XVII","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrace yourself for a stealthily guarded FAA revelation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA masterpiece of the skies, and now your Airfix workbench, the Supermarine Seafire returns to our range after a ten-year absence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XVII was the first of the Seafire variants to feature a cut-down rear fuselage and distinctive teardrop-style canopy.

Arguably the most unconventional Fairey designed aircraft to enter full production, the Gannet was developed in response to a 1945 Royal Navy requirement for an advanced carrier-based, turboprop-powered anti-submarine hunter-killer, one which was rugged enough to withstand the rigors of operation at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eIntended to counter the recent expansion of the Soviet submarine fleet at the start of the Cold War era, the Gannet was equipped with all manner of the latest electronic detection equipment and if an enemy submarine was detected, it could be marked, tracked, and if necessary, attacked, using bombs, depth charges, rockets, and air-launched acoustic torpedoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne feature of the Gannet which helped to give it a unique appearance was the adoption of its powerplant, the innovative Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba. This arrangement saw two gas turbine engines mounted side by side in the nose of the gannet, sharing a common gearbox, but both operating independently, each engine driving its own coaxially mounted, contra-rotating propeller. In addition to this, the engines could run on kerosene and even diesel fuel, which was safer to handle and less refined than traditional aviation fuels.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThis arrangement provided Gannet crews with more than enough power for carrier operations, with the reassurance of two engines when embarking on long ocean patrols. Once in flight, the pilot could shut down one of the engines to conserve fuel and whilst this would reduce the Gannet's maximum speed, it would extend its loiter capabilities. Usually, a pilot would alternate engine use during a long patrol, running each engine for around an hour before swapping to the other engine - the engine mounted on the port side drove the front propeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother unique feature of the Gannet's design was its bi-folding wing system, something which was designed to allow this large aircraft to operate safely and to be stored aboard one of the Royal Navy's relatively small aircraft carriers. When a pilot engaged the wing unfold, this ingenious system not only prepared the wings for flight, but also automatically connected all flight control systems, hydraulic connections and fuel pipes to the main system, without any ground crew intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eIn operation, there are reports that the Gannet was so rugged a design that when one aircraft lost the outer sections of both wings after performing a particularly violent manoeuvre, the aircraft still managed to make it back safely to its home carrier, something which can only have endeared the aircraft to its crews still further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fairey Gannet would prove to be an extremely rugged and highly effective anti-submarine aircraft, one which could carry an impressive array of offensive ordnance and one which was able to attack submarines either on the surface, or when submerged and trying to evade its attentions. Well-liked by air and ground crews alike, 348 Gannets would eventually be produced and in addition to serving with Britain's Fleet Air Arm, the aircraft would also see service with the navies of Australia, Germany and Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234354725131,"sku":"A11007","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/airfix-a11007-fairey-gannet-as-1-as-4-1160787001.jpg?v=1749035521"},{"product_id":"airfix-a11008-1-48-westland-sea-king-hc-4","title":"Westland Sea King HC.4","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis latest iteration of our 1:48 scale Westland Sea King 2023 tooling includes new parts, not included in the first release.

The kit’s extremely well engineered and numerous parts are produced with the aid of slide molds, while CAD design was utilized from start to finish.
