Avions

Avios has excelled yet again in bringing you another interesting and high-quality RC model, the Avios PBY Catalina. Avios are at the forefront of water plane technology; they have produced more types than any other manufacturer in this class of model. The Avios model captures the looks and great flying characteristics of the full-size plane with this stand-off scale model of the iconic World War II flying boat. The Catalina was one of the most widely used flying boats of the 2nd World War. It served with every branch of the United States Armed Forces, and the Avios version depicts a Catalina in the stunning US Coast Guard scheme of the early 1940s era.

Le B-17 Flying Fortress reste l'un des bombardiers alliés les plus célèbres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Bien qu'il ait servi dans tous les théâtres de la guerre, c'est dans le théâtre d'opérations européen (ETO) avec la renommée 8th Air Force en particulier, que ce bombardier lourd robuste et bien armé s'est frayé un chemin dans les livres d'histoire.
