HobbyBoss 1:35 - M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen (ADGZ-Steyr)
83890
£36.00 GBP
The Steyr ADGZ was developed for the Austrian Army by Austro-Daimler (which later merged with Steyr Automobile) from 1934 and delivered to the army in 1935-1937. In "ADGZ", "AD" stands for "Austro-Daimler". Its Austrian designation was M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen. During the Anschluss - the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany - the Austrian army had 12 ADGZ armoured cars in use, and 15 more were used by the police. The Germans started using the ADGZ for police work and some vehicles were used by the SS on the Eastern Front and the Balkans. In 1942, the SS received 25 additional ADGZ cars.
The ADGZ was suitable for both urban usage and for maneuvering off-road. It had 6mm armour and weighed 12 tons. Either end of the vehicle was capable of driving the unit: drivers could operate the vehicle from the front or the rear switching almost immediately due to the dual transmission.

1:35 Resin Figure - USMC Scout Sniper (Vietnam)
US Marine Corps infantrymen and reconnaissance Marines graduated from the US Marine Corps Scout Sniper School are known as Scout Snipers. In order to get this designation, the snipers must be conferred the rank of Lance Corporal, be selected to enter the scout-sniper platoon, and finish a special training course.
The main skills of a USMC Scout Sniper include fieldcraft, marksmanship and map-reading. The primary battlefield role of the sniper is to support the infantry battalion by executing aimed fire on selected targets as well as to perform reconnaissance and surveillance tasks.
The kit is based on a photo of Lance Corporal Dalton Gunderson 3rd Marine Division scanning the area for VC snipers with a Winchester Model 70 during Operation Virginia in 1966. This picture is often misattributed as being Carlos Hathcock, a legendary sniper of the US Marine Corps. During the Vietnam War, Hathcock killed at least 93 Vietnamese soldiers. At that time an officer had to witness the kills to confirm them. That made the confirmation difficult as officers could not be present every time a sniper shot the enemy. Hathcock asserted that he had killed over 300 men in Vietnam. Further details on the original photograph: “I was a young scout sniper when I met Dalton. He was a humble professional as you would imagine. I have this picture framed and he said ‘hey that’s me’ and laughed. I asked him what the story was behind it and he said that everytime they left the wire there was a dog that would compromise them and alert the enemy that there was a patrol leaving. He was aggravated and finally decided to deal with it, when a reporter asked him to take the picture.”
The kit includes one unpainted resin figure of an American USMC sniper and a Winchester Model 70 sporting rifle (unofficially issued in Vietnam and used by Hathcock and others during his first tour).
Soviet Sniper WW2 1/16th scale

This is ideal for a diorama or bust depicting Soviet Snipers such as Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev. Between 10 October 1942 and 17 December 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad, he killed 225 enemy soldiers. Zaitsev became a celebrated figure during the war and later a Hero of the Soviet Union, and he remains lauded for his skills as a sniper.
Operation Frankton RMBPD Set - WWII Cockle Canoe + Royal Marines
£45.00 GBP
1:35 - Major Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler - Resin kit
Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler was a Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Marines. In 1942, a 28-year-old Hasler planned and led Operation Frankton. The operation was a commando raid on Axis shipping in the French port of Bordeaux occupied by the Germans. The mission was to attach mines to the hulls of German cargo ships. Three of the five canoes were lost on the way to the port. The surviving crewmen including Hasler reached the port successfully, placed the mines and managed to drown four cargo ships. They then walked 100 miles to a French village where they met with members of the Resistance and started their journey back to England through Spain and Gibraltar. For this operation Hasler was awarded the Distinguished Service Order by King George VI.
One kayak was damaged while being deployed from the submarine, and it and its crew therefore could not take part in the mission. Only two of the 10 men who launched from the submarine survived the raid: Hasler, and his number two in the kayak, Bill Sparks. Of the other eight, six were executed by the Germans and two died from hypothermia.
This product is available in two scales, 1:35 and 1:24 and was painstakingly designed from scratch as a digital model.
The kit includes: 2 x miniatures (Blondie Hasler and Bill Sparks) in their folding Cockle Canoe named 'Catfish' made by Campaign Models (UK).
