164°

FOUND BY: traceyh09 2 months, 3 weeks ago

STARTS: 05/09/2009   EXPIRES: 06/09/2009

Simply pick up a copy of The Daily Telegraph on Saturday for your voucher to claim the Supermarine Spitfire Mk II model plane. Plus, we are also offering you the chance to own a Hawker Hurricane Mk I model plane, collect your voucher in this Sunday's Telegraph. Then simply take the vouchers to Toys 'R' Us, HobbyCraft and Modelzone to claim your free model plane.

NOTE, to get both planes, you have to buy the paper on Saturday and Sunday.


Description:
1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk II

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries through the Second World War.

When Winston Churchill spoke of the few that gave so much, he was referring to the R.A.F. pilots in their Spitfires. Originally a seaplane, the Spitfire won a competition to become the R.A.F.'s number one fighter. It proved to be more than a match for the best that Germany could muster. Its kill ratio was 10 to 1 in the skies over England

The Telegraph exclusively gives you the chance to assemble your very own spitfire Mk II. Each box contains one limited edition (1 of 15,000) unassembled Revell model kit of a 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk II, complete with instructions. The finished model will be approximately 125mm long with a wingspan of approximately 140mm.

1:72 Hawker Hurricane Mk I

The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft, designed in the 1930s, that was the first operational R.A.F aircraft capable of a top speed in excess of 300 mph. The design evolved through several versions and adaptations, resulting in a series of aircraft which acted as interceptor-fighters, fighter-bombers (also called "Hurribombers"), and ground support aircraft.

Together with the Spitfire, the Hurricane was significant in enabling the Royal Air Force (RAF) to win the Battle of Britain of 1940, accounting for the majority of the RAF's air victories.

The Telegraph exclusively gives you the chance to assemble your very own Hurricane Mk I. Each box contains one limited edition (1 of 15,000) unassembled Revell model kit of a 1:72 Hawker Hurricane Mk I, complete with assembly. The finished model will be approximately 135mm long with a wingspan of approximately 160mm.

Can't upload pix sorry :)

Hmm, only stock for 15,000 of each plane for the whole country? this may be a bit popular...

Not voted as the nearest Toys R Us is 40 miles away, which makes it a tad pricey of an option...

You can usually pick these up between £1.50 and £2 in the sales from online model shops, tkmax, or ebay. Not a good deal, unless you are within a few miles of a store, even then, there's no guarantee there will be kits available for redemption.

Got one today, looks like a very poor kit. Good job I didn't have to pay for the paper as we get it at work, and I had to pass toysrus on my travels today.
