The Atlas Fighters of World War II series got a boost with four new aircraft joining the aerial assault. The following warbirds are expected in late May, so check ’em out now if you want to be the first to add them to your collection:

ATL7896001 – German Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4/Tropical Fighter – Hans Joachim Marseille, 3./Jagdgeschwader 27, North Africa, 1942 (1:72 Scale)

ATL7896024 – US Navy Chance-Vought F4U-1A Corsair Fighter – Ira Kepford, VF-17 “Jolly Rogers”, 1944 (1:72 Scale)

ATL7896028 – USAAF Lockheed P-38L Lightning Interceptor – “Pudgy (V),” Thomas McGuire, 431st Fighter Squadron, 475th Fighter Group, 1945 (1:72 Scale)

ATL7896029 – German Heinkel He 219A-0 “Uhu” Night Fighter – Werner Streib, Nachtjagdgeschwader 1, June 1943 (1:72 Scale)

As usual, each model is priced at only $24.99, making them ideal introductions to the aviation market and great gifts for that special someone looking to get into the hobby.

Atlas Editions is finally making available their esteemed 1:72 scale Fighters of World War II collection to the North American market. Similar in scope to Oxford’s budget-minded line of military aircraft, the Atlas range showcases fifteen different pilots who made a direct impact on the war effort on both sides of the ledger. Featuring diecast construction, retracted landing gear, spinning propellers, authentic markings and insignia, and a stenciled display stand, these aircraft are a perfect way to introduce new collectors into the diecast military space and a fitting tribute to the men and machines that fought valiantly in the skies over the battlefields of the Second World War.
