Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet ML-20 152mm Howitzer Mod 1937 - Plastic model kit #02323
The Soviet 152mm howitzer-gun ML-20 (Model 1937) was an upgrade of the 152mm gun M1910/34. This gun was produced from 1937 to 1946. As a howitzer-gun, the ML-20 could be used both as a howitzer and as a gun. To achieve this, the model had a wide range of elevation angles and used separate loading with 13 different propellant loads. The ML-20 had both telescopic and panoramic sights. The ML-20 first saw combat in the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. It also participated in the Winter War and proceeded to be used throughout the Second World War. The ML-20 was used during WWII by the Soviet Army, and some of the guns were captured by the Germans and the Finnish Army. The ML-20 was also used after the end of World War II in a number of conflicts due to its excellent characteristics.

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).

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).
