Oxford Adds Four New Warbirds to its Frontline Fighters Series

Oxford’s 1:72 scale RAF Boulton Paul Defiant Mk. I Fighter – No.264 (Madras Presidency) Squadron, RAF Hornchurch, England, 1940

A bit unexpected, Oxford announced its intent to bolster its Frontline Fighter series with four more fighters for early 2022. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, Frontline Fighters is a great way to get into collecting model warbirds if you’re on a shoestring budget. They’re also great gifts, particularly for budding warbirds collectors interested in getting in the the ground floor without busting the bank. While they do not come with either interchangeable landing gear or a pilot figure, they nevertheless go a long towards modeling some of the most iconic aircraft of World War II. Here now the four newest fighters destined to come out in early 2022.

Oxford’s 1:72 scale Italian Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana Fiat G.55 Centauro Fighter – Montefusco-Bonet Squadron, Italy, 1944
Oxford’s 1:72 scale German Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4/Trop Fighter – Eberhard von Boremski, 9./Jagdgeschwader 3 “Udet,” Russia, 1943
Oxford’s 1:72 scale USAAF Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Fighter – Capt Daniel Boone, 333rd Fighter Squadron, 318th Fighter Group

Finally, for those of you holding out hope that some of their earliest models would be re-introduced, we’ve learned that Oxford’s first Me-262 Sturmvogel jet fighter, OXFAC007, has made the cut and is expected to return to battle in early 2022.
