Flightpath 1/48th Scale WWII Products

Below - a range of kits that will bring your WW2 Dioramas to life and instantly bring that 'Twelve O' Clock High' or 'The Way To The Stars' atmosphere to your displays

RAF/USAAF Airfield Dispersal Set			Ł16.90
This kit contains a wide selection of accessories ideal for those modelling a WW2 airfield dispersal area, including a work platform, tower ladder, two six-rung folding ladders, a superb wind sock, Air Ministry warning sign, hard standing drain covers and four each of both medium and heavy bomber wheel chocks.


RAF/USAAF Airfield Cycles			Ł5.90
Super detailed set in etched nickel silver and cast metal - providing four examples of the most common form of airfield transport.


Nissen Hut			Ł25.90
Complete kit in etched brass, plastic, wood and cast metal - provides for building a Nissen hut with alternative style ends and, with or without an entrance porch. Optional dormer windows of two widths are also supplied. Nissen huts were provided at approx. one in three dispersal sites on most WWII heavy bomber airfields.


Standard WWII Airfield Hut			Ł22.90
Complete kit in etched brass, plastic and cast metal - portraying what is [along with the Nissen Hut], the most instantly recognisable of all WWII airfield buildings - with rendered walls and buttresses, corrugated asbestos roof, and metal window frames. They were on every airfield in a wide variety of sizes and uses [the kit allows modification to differing lengths and the joining of kits]. An instantly evocative and super-detailed kit.


Airfield Air Raid and Blast Shelter Set			Ł17.90
A simple complete fold-up kit in etched brass, providing for one of the rectangular brick built shelters seen on both airfields and in towns and villages across Britain and also the entrance and ventilation shaft for the earth-covered blast shelters that were present on most WW2 Airfields - these units are designed to be easily incorporated into your diorama base.

Airfield Blast Shelter			Ł25.90
A large but simple complete fold-up kit in etched brass for one of the open maze-type brick built blast shelters seen on all airfields. An example of these was usually positioned adjacent to dispersal sites. Again, this model is designed to be easily incorporated into your diorama base.


New! - WW2 Single Engined Aircraft Fighter Pens
These ‘Pens’ or revetments were also built to a larger size for some twin-engined aircraft - but it is the version for single engined fighters such as the Spitfire or Hurricane that we have chosen to portray in these new kits. As you will see from the plan there were two pens [left and right handed] and these were mirror-images of each other, with the exception of the emergency exit at the rear - but this itself could be on either the LH or RH pen. For this reason both of our kits [for either the LH or RH version] are able to be assembled with or without the emergency exit. Obviously a Left Handed and a Right Handed kit can be combined to reproduce a pair of Fighter Pens as shown in the photo and plan on this page. These etched kits include all the retaining walls and the entrances [both front and back] and corridors to the central shelter. In addition, the kits include a textured etched base for the concrete aircraft hard standing area and for the concrete tie-down points. As with our popular Blast Shelter kits we have not included the actual earthworks in these kits as this is best added using the usual scenic materials and so each kit comes with a scale floor plan template to assist you in this. We gratefully acknowledge the help of Mr. Paul Francis the author & airfield historian in the development of these kits and for use of these illustrations.
