Airfix Commemorates D-Day With New Hawker Typhoon / Eurofighter Typhoon Twin Pack

Airfix recently released a Typhoon twin pack model kit containing a Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 “Moggy” and Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib in 1/72 scale.

The offering (A40001) boasts 117 pieces and D-Day liveries for each aircraft. The Hawker Typhoon representing 1944 No.257 (Burma) Squadron and the Eurofighter Typhoon representing ZJ913 of the RAF Typhoon Display Team from the 2024 season.

The striking design on Typhoon FGR.4 ZJ913 was inspired by the RAF No.257 (Burma) Squadron Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib, piloted by Officer Denzil Jenkins during the D-Day landings on 6th June 1944, featuring the iconic black and white identification stripes that were a hallmark of Allied aircraft over Normandy on D-Day. This was a brilliant move by the RAF PR team, and this aircraft captivated millions during the subsequent airshow season, at commemorative events in both the UK and France, and during a successful Canadian tour.

The kits are rated as level 2 builds, making them ideal for modelers ages 8 and above.

1977 Beech Baron 58 Turboprop Conversion Project Offered For Sale

A 1977 Beechcraft Baron 58TC turboprop project has been spotted for sale.

According to the listing, the aircraft began as a 1977 Beechcraft Baron 58TC (S/N TK46) with 1,531 hours total time and no damage history, later converted into an experimental single‑engine turbine “Czechmate” (N1NF) after being acquired via lien auction in 1989 with full FAA chain of title. The build replaces the twin piston configuration with a 750 HP Walter M601D turboprop, incorporating extensive structural modifications inspired by Beech’s factory Lightning prototypes, including a custom engine mount, reinforced nose structure, and high-quality carbon fiber cowling with advanced induction and cooling systems. The airframe retains the strengthened 58TC features (6200 lb gross weight, extended fuel capacity, heavy-duty landing gear, and corrosion-proofed structure) and includes a 5-blade reversible prop, deice systems, air conditioning, KFC200 autopilot, and complete interior. The project is largely complete with major fabrication finished, but requires engine overhaul, fuel cells, paint, avionics, and final assembly, and is offered with molds, tooling, spare parts, and documentation as a high-performance turbine conversion project capable of 250+ knot cruise.

The aircraft is located in Hastings, Florida and is currently available for US $169,000. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes many additional photos and details.

Coming Soon: An Illustrated History of BAC Lightning Units of the Cold War

Coming soon from Osprey Publishing and author Michael Napier is RAF Lightning Units of the Cold War, an illustrated study of the Lightning Jet Fighter and its eventful operational history as the RAF’s star aircraft of the Cold War era.

The Mach 2-capable English Electric Lightning is perhaps the most iconic RAF aeroplane of the Cold War. Boasting a massive increase in performance and improved radar and weapons systems over its predecessors, the Lightning brought new capabilities to the RAF’s air defences. Tactics were adapted to fit the aircraft, including incorporating air-to-air refuelling as a routine part of operations because of the Lightning’s notoriously short range.

Retired fighter pilot Mike Napier draws on first-hand accounts from RAF aviators to tell the story of Britain’s ultimate Cold War jet fighter. Covering everything from the Lightning’s exercises with other NATO air forces to its interception of Soviet long-range ‘Badger’ and ‘Bear’ bombers in the late 1960s, this volume complements the aircraft’s colourful operational history with 20 profile artworks and photography from both official and personal archives.

The 96 page book is currently available for pre-order in paperback and Kindle editions with release set for February 16, 2027.
