Dragon 1:35 - Commanders Conference, Kharkov 1943 - Plastic Model Kit #6144
On the 19th of February 1943, the II SS Panzer Corps and two panzer armies under the command of Field Marshal Erich von Manstein launched their counterstrike on the Eastern Front, aimed to recapture Kharkov and Belgorod. With extensive air support from Luftflotte 4, in two weeks the German Army defeated the Red Army south of Kharkov and was able to directly engage the city on the 11th of March. After four days of house-to-house fighting, Kharkov was recaptured by the 1st SS Panzer Division on March the 15th. This series of battles is known as the Third Battle of Kharkov, which cost the Red Army over 80,000 casualties. Bevin Alexander, a military historian, called the Third Battle of Kharkov "the last great victory of German arms in the Eastern Front".
This kit contains over 35 parts for the assembly of four figures of German officers in winter uniforms.

Dragon 1:35 - DAK Kubelwagen with Officers - Plastic Model Kit #6364
Kübelwagen was a WWII German light military vehicle used by both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. It was produced by Volkswagen from February 1940 until the end of the war and came in a number of types and variants.
Kübelwagens were simple, reliable and showed good cross-country performances. They served on all fronts with the German Army until the end of WWII and after. The vehicles were not armoured or armed, and were used mostly as staff cars. For rainy weather Kübelwagens used a folding canvas roof. The vehicles withstood the hot climate of North Africa without problems.
This kit contains over 160 parts for the assembly of one Kübelwagen and four German officers in North Africa.

Sold Out
Dragon 1:35 - German Combat Unit, Waffen SS, Ardennes 1944-45 - Plastic Model Kit #6002
The last major German offensive on the Western Front of WWII, the Battle of the Bulge ('Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein' or the Ardennes Counteroffensive) was launched on the 16th of December 1944 through the dense forest of Ardennes in eastern Belgium. The German plan was to destroy the Allied armies and force them to negotiate a peace treaty in Germany's favour. Germany would then be able to fully concentrate their efforts on the Eastern Front.
The German Army planned this offensive with utmost secrecy, and on 16 December 1944 the surprise attack caught the Allies completely off guard. American forces incurred their highest casualties of any operation during WWII. However fierce resistance on the Elsenborn Ridge and around Bastogne impeded the German advance and allowed the Allies to reinforce their troops. Subsequent Allied air attacks led to the failure of the offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the second bloodiest battle in American history.
This kit contains over 60 parts for the assembly of four figures of German soldiers.

Sold Out
Dragon 1:35 - German Gebirgsjager, Caucasus 1942 - Plastic Model Kit #6045
During WWII, Germany raised a number of mountain infantry units - Gebirgsjäger. These divisions usually carried fewer automatic weapons than their regular infantry counterparts, although the MG 34 or MG 42 machine gunners had more ammunition compared to regular infantry. Gebirgsjäger wore edelweiss insignia on their sleeves and caps.
German Mountain Divisions took part in many battles over the course of WWII. In 1942, they participated in the offensive in the Caucasus area on the Eastern Front, named Operation Edelweiss. The German plan was to gain control over the Caucasus and to capture the oil fields in Azerbaijan. In August-September 1942, Wehrmacht took the cities of Stavropol, Maykop, Krasnodar, Mozdok and Novorossiysk. On the 21st of August, the 1st Mountain Division planted the flag of Nazi Germany on the summit of Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in the Caucasus Mountains and in Europe.
This kit contains 63 parts for the assembly of four figures.
Dragon 1:35 - German Nachtjager, Berlin 1945
Sold Out
Dragon 1:35 - German Nachtjager, Berlin 1945 - Plastic Figure Model Kit #6089
An active infrared device codenamed the Vampir (ZG 1229) was developed for the Wehrmacht for use on rifles and machine guns at night time. The Wehrmacht soldiers started to use Vampir gear at the final stages of WWII. Soldiers who carried the Vampir were known as Nachtjäger - night hunters. Along with the device, they also carried a 13.5 kilogram wooden cased battery for the light, and another battery inside a gas mask container to power the image converter. The sensor operated in the upper infrared spectrum and therefore was not sensitive to body heat.
The kit includes parts for the assembly of four German soldiers, three with night scope rifles (the Vampir mounted on the MP44) and one with an anti-aircraft shoulder fire weapon - the Fliegerfaust.

During WWII, German Sturmpionier units performed a variety of tasks, primarily breaching enemy fortifications and building bridgeheads. They were usually armed with flame throwers, machine guns and heavy explosives. Sturmpioniere were trained in assault, demolition including destroying enemy bunkers, hand-to-hand combat, and using smoke candles, grenades and explosives.
Sturmpionier units played an important role in the success of the crossing of the Meuse river in May 1940, which enabled Germany to capture Sedan and effectively led to the defeat of France in June 1940.

Eduard 1:35 German Pz. Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II
Sold Out
The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. The last official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger ("Bengal Tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied troops.
The Tiger II was the successor of the Tiger I, adding the Tiger I's thick armour with the sloped armour used on the Panther tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm (3.9 to 7.1 inches) of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun.
The Tiger II was developed late in the war and built in relatively small numbers, with only 1500 Tiger II's actually ordered — this was marginally higher than the 1,347 of the earlier Tiger I tanks actually produced — but the Tiger II production was severely disrupted by Allied bombing.
The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger tank destroyer.

Eduard Profipack 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II - Plastic model kit #3715
The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, commonly known as Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WWII. It was first used on 11 July 1944 by the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion during the Allied Invasion of Normandy.
The Tiger II was produced in relatively small numbers - Allied bombing severely disrupted the production and caused the loss of over 600 tanks when the floor area of the Henschel plant was destroyed. Just under 500 Tiger II's were produced from 1943 til 1945.
The successor of the Tiger I, the Tiger II weighed almost 70 tonnes and was armed with an 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 anti-tank cannon. The tank's thick frontal armour and powerful long-range gun gave it a significant advantage against Western Allied and Soviet tanks.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - 5cm Pak (t) Sfl. auf Fgst. Pz. Kpfw. 35R 731 (f) - Plastic model kit #83808
The Renault R35 was a French light infantry tank produced from 1936 until 1940. The R35 became one of the most numerous French tanks captured by the Germans. Germany captured a total of 843 R35's, over a hundred of which were designated Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f) and used by panzer units mainly for security duties or driver training. Most of the captured tanks were later converted into artillery tractors and ammunition carriers after the turret was removed.
Germans decided that R35's would be more useful on the battlefield if they were converted into self-propelled guns. Using the R35 chassis they built a 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f). This proved to be rather difficult because the chassis was even smaller than that of Panzer I Ausf.B, and the tank designed for two Frenchmen was now supposed to carry three German soldiers and a fairly large gun with ammunition. This new vehicle was not very successful in service especially in winter conditions, so a decision was made to improve it by changing the gun for a 5cm PaK 38. However this plan never came into action because of technical limitations, and the project was cancelled.

£25.00 GBP
The German Molch was an 11 ton one-man midget submarine built in 1944. It was the first mini-submarine of the Kriegsmarine. The Molch was fully electrical, carried two G7e torpedoes - one on each side of the craft, and had a range of 64 km at 5 knots (9.3 km/h). 393 submarines were built in total, all by AG Weser in Bremen.
The Molch was first used to attack Allied battleships during the Allied Operation Dragoon. Ten out of the twelve submarines were lost and the remaining two were sunk by the Allies shortly after. In the following months the Molch was used in a number of operations but overall proved to be ineffective in combat and its use was reduced to training for more advanced submarines.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Marder III Ausf.M Tank Destroyer Sd.Kfz.138 Late
£45.00 GBP
The Marder III ("Marder" means "marten" in English, named after the weasel like animal) was a family of German tank destroyers deployed from 1942 to 1945 on all fronts of the Second World War. It was based on the Panzer 38(t) featuring its chassis and a roofless fighting compartment. The main armament consisted of either Soviet 76-mm divisional field gun M1936, or German 75-mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M was the latest variant of the series armed with the Pak 40. Unlike the earlier models, it featured sloped armour and an improved fighting compartment which was closed in the rear ensuring better protection of the crew. The rear-mounted engine of the vehicle was replaced with an engine installed between the driver and the crew. That gave the crew more room in the fighting compartment decreasing their visibility and exposure to enemy fire. However, the compartment remained open-topped.
The crew of the Ausf.M included the commander, gunner, loader and driver. About 1,000 units of the Ausf.M were built between 1943 and 1944.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Porsche Turret
Sold Out
HobbyBoss 1:35 - German Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Porsche Turret w/ Zimmerit - Plastic model kit #84530
Development of the Tiger II heavy tank started in 1937 with design contracts given to Henschel and Porsche. Both companies used the same turret in their prototypes (designed by Krupp) but the tanks had differences in the hull, transmission and suspension systems. The Porsche design featured a rear-mounted turret and a mid-mounted engine, and the suspension was the same as on the Elefant. The Henschel version which was more conventional won the contract and all King Tigers were produced by the company.
Production vehicles used two turret designs. The initial turret had a rounded front, sloped sides and a curved bulge on the left side for commander's cupola which proved to be difficult to manufacture. This turret is often called 'Porsche turret' as opposed to the more common 'production turret' or 'Henschel turret'. Fifty King Tigers had received the early 'Porsche turret' before the design was simplified.
The production of King Tigers was disrupted by the Allied bombings with five raids in September and October 1944 alone destroying 95% of the floor area at the Henschel plant. Initially orders were placed for 1,500 King Tigers but only 492 units were produced until the end of the war.

£32.00 GBP
The German term Flakpanzer was used for "anti-aircraft tanks" - modified tanks that were intended to target aircraft. The Flakpanzer I was a conversion of the Panzer I Ausf. A tank. It was developed in 1941 with an aim to create a mobile anti-aircraft vehicle that could follow the Panzer divisions.
The Flakpanzer I was armed with the 2 cm FlaK 38 L/112.5. The vehicle was capable of towing a Sonderanhänger 51 trailer which carried ammunition and spare barrels. The Flakpanzer I had a high rate of fire and accuracy, but it proved to be more useful against ground targets other than aircraft and was used mainly for infantry support. The insufficient armour resulted in high casualties and the only battalion that was equipped with the Flakpanzer I's was wiped out during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943.

The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of WWI, forbade Germany to have or produce tanks and armoured fighting vehicles of any kind. However, the German Government managed to evade the Treaty provisions by authorising the production of 15 tank hulls without superstructures or turrets. Disguised as 'training vehicles' those tanks were aimed at military reinforcement of Germany.
The Ausf. A ohne Aufbau was one of the training vehicles designed at that time. Featuring an entirely open interior without a superstructure and turret, it had room for five crew members: a student driver, an instructor and three more observers behind them.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Leichter Panzerspahwagen (2cm) Mid Version
£23.00 GBP
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a German light armoured car produced from 1935 until 1944. Germany developed several variants of this vehicle. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was an improved version of the Sd. Kfz. 221, armed initially with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 and a 7.92mm MG 13. Later on the MG 13 machine gun was replaced by the Maschinengewehr 34, and the KwK 30 was replaced by the KwK 38 of the same calibre. This variant of the vehicle was called the Leichter Panzerspähwagen 2 cm. Its production ran from 1937 to 1943 with nearly a thousand vehicles built in total.
The Sd. Kfz. 222 proved to be very efficient in the Balkans in 1941. Large numbers of these armoured cars were also sent to North Africa, however the limited volume of their fuel tanks meant the lack of effective range. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was gradually substituted with the Sd.Kfz.250/9 (Hanomag). A small number of vehicles were sold to China in 1939.

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.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. A (Early/Late)
Sold Out
The Panzerkampfwagen I was a light tank developed in Germany in the run-up to WWII. Abbreviated Pz. Kpfw. I, the tank was officially designated Sd.Kfz.101.
As Germany was restricted by the Treaty of Versailles in its military capability, the first tank prototypes were produced under the code name Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper which meant 'Agricultural Tractor'. The prototypes were armed with two 7.92 mm MG 13 machine guns and were used as training vehicles by German armed troops.
The Ausf. A was the first combat vehicle of the Panzer I series. Its thin armour and suspension problems resulted in weak performance on the battlefield. However, the improved versions were in military service during all German campaigns between 1939 and 1941 including the Invasion of Poland and the Battle of France.
Although the Panzer I models were of little use against even the lightest tanks of that era, they contributed significantly to the development of German military production.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen 2cm
£32.00 GBP
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. It had the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis and a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, which gives it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. The car had a maximum range of 300 km. Its armament consisted of one 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 main cannon and one MG 34 secondary machine gun.
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions. It performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like Western Europe, but on the Eastern Front and in North Africa it was hampered by its relatively poor off-road performance and was gradually replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German 2cm Flak 38 Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t)
£31.00 GBP
The Flak 38(t) was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the Second World War. An improved version of the Flak 30, it was widely used by different German forces. Rheinmetall created the Flak 38 in order to improve the fire rate of the Flak 30. The Flak 38 had a fire rate of 220 rpm (compared to 120 rpm of its predecessor) and much lower weight. In 1939, the Flak 38 was recognised as the standard Army gun, but later on Mauser came up with its even lighter modification, the Gebirgsflak 38, which could be easily used against both air and surface targets.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Land-Wasser-Schlepper Early Type
£33.00 GBP
Land-Wasser-Schlepper, an unarmed amphibious tractor of German production, was deployed by the Third Reich troops during the Second World War. It was intended for both land and naval operations. The vehicle had twin propellers and twin rudders similar to the ones of a ferry boat, and travelled on steel chain tracks.
The first tractors were used during the German invasion of the United Kingdom, known under the code name Operation Sea Lion, in order to tow barges and carry vehicles ashore.
LWS's proved to be good in action, but the factories at that time suffered from the lack of raw materials, so the tractor production was limited.

The German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther (or Panzer V) was deployed on the Eastern and Western Fronts from mid 1943 till the end of the war in 1945. It was primarily intended to counter the Soviet T-34 and substitute the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. Where the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther is generally considered to be the most well-known German tank of WW2, the Panther and the Soviet T-34/85 are considered to be the best all-round tanks of their time. The variations or models are Panther Ausf. A, Panther Ausf. D, Panther Ausf. G, Panther Ausf. F. There is also a considerable quantity of modified models such as maintenance or air defense tanks.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Panzer IV / 70 (A) Sd. Kfz 162/1
Sold Out
The Ausführung A (or Ausf. A, "Variant A"), built in 1936, was the first mass-produced version of Panzer IV. It had the Maybach's HL 108TR engine, producing 250 PS (183.87 kW), and used the SGR 75 transmission with five forward gears and one reverse gear. Ausf. A achieved a maximum road speed of 31 kilometres per hour (19.26 mph). Its main armament was a short-barreled Kampfwagenkanone 37 L/24 (KwK 37 L/24) 75mm (2.95 in) tank gun, which was primarily designed to fire high-explosive shells.
The KwK 37 fired Panzergranate (armor-piercing shell) at 430 metres per second (1,410 ft/s) and could penetrate 43mm (1.69 in) at ranges of up to 700 metres (2,300 ft). The Ausf. A was protected by a 14.5mm (0.57 in) steel armour on the front plate of the chassis, and 20mm (0.79 in) on the turret. This armour could only stop artillery fragments, small-arms fire, and light anti-tank projectiles. Only 35 Ausf. A's were built, and in 1937 production moved to the Ausf. B.

Sold Out
Initially the Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F was a Czech tank designed before WW2. Its military designation was LT vz. 38 (Lehký tank vzor 38, Light Tank model 38). When Germany took over Czechoslovakia, the tank was adopted by the German Army and saw service in Poland, France and Russia. The (t) stands for 'tschechisch', the German word for Czech.
Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F had a 3.7cm main gun and a 125hp engine allowing it to move at 42km/h. Over 1400 tanks were manufactured, until in 1942 production ended due to inadequate armament. The chassis continued to be produced for the Marder III, and some of the tank's components were used in the later Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers, turretless assault guns, as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns.

£23.00 GBP
The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) was initially designed by ČKD (Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk) - Czech engineering company - in 1938. From May to November 1939, 150 tanks were produced for the Wehrmacht. They were designated Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. A. These tanks had excellent technical characteristics - speed, armour protection and high reliability, and were considered to be the best light tanks in the beginning of WWII. They were also used by Hungarian, Romanian, Slovakian, and Bulgarian armies, and were exported to Sweden, Switzerland, Peru, and other countries.
The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. G was the result of a growing demand for heavier armour. This tank had a basic 50mm armour plate on all frontal surfaces. It was mainly used in Russia, with some models exported to Germany's allies.

The Ausf. C was introduced in 1938. Due to the increased turret armour (30mm), the tank's weight went up from 16 to 18.14 tonnes. After assembling forty Ausf. C's, the tank's engine was replaced with the improved HL 120TRM.
From October 1938 to August 1939, 134 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. C's were produced, and production moved to the Ausf. D. In August 1939, six of the 3.Serie/B.W. chassis were assembled and converted into bridge-laying tanks.

For the Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain, the Commander of the Army originally requested 180 underwater tanks. 42 Panzer IV Ausf.D's, as well as some Pz.III's and StuG III's, were converted into the Tauchpanzer ("diving tank"). All the openings were covered with rubber sheeting, and the turret ring was protected by inflatable rubber ring. The exhausts were fitted with non-return valves. The driver’s visor was made watertight by special metal cover with a visor block. Air was supplied via a flexible 18-meter hose held on the surface by a buoy. Tauchpanzers could submerge to a depth of about 15 meters, and had the maximum underwater speed of 3 mph. After the Operation was given up, almost all the vehicles were assigned to the 18th Panzer Division and some were used during the River Bug crossing in Operation Barbarossa.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J (VK16.01) Early
£23.00 GBP
The Panzer II tanks were produced from 1935 till 1943 and played an important role in the early years of WWII. By 1940-41 they were supplanted by the Panzer III's and Panzer IV's. The Pz.Kpfw.II was used during the Polish and French campaigns, in North Africa against the British, and on the Eastern Front against the Red Army.
The Panzer II Ausf. D, Ausf. E, Ausf. F and Ausf. L were designed as reconnaissance tanks. Continued development of the reconnaissance tank concept led to the much up-armored Ausf. J, which used the same concept as the Pz. Kpfw.I Ausf. F of the same period and had an experimental designation VK1601. This version had heavier armour, with protection brought up to 80mm on the front and 50mm on the sides and rear. With 25mm roof and floor plates, the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J had a total weight of 18 tons. It was equipped with the same Maybach HL45P as the Pz. Kpfw.I Ausf. F, and its top speed was reduced to 31 km/h. Primary armament was the 2cm KwK38 L/55 gun.
22 of these tanks were produced between April and December 1942, and seven were issued to the 12th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front.

£23.00 GBP
The Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) light tank was developed before the beginning of World War II. The initial design belonged to Czech engineers, but after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia the tank was included in the German combat arsenal.
Being a pre-war designed tank, the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) had common features of the tanks from that period, such as riveted armour and a rear engine. Still some changes were made by the Germans, with increased armour thickness and a loader position added to the turret being the main ones.
The tank saw active service during the military incursion into Poland, France and the Soviet Union, but it became obsolete in 1942 for it no longer proved effective on the battlefield. However, the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) served as a prototype for the Marder III and partly for the Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers.
The Pz.BfWg 38(t) was a command tank also originated from Czechoslovakia and used by the German Army during World War II. It was equipped with a radio station and a frame antenna. The total of 300 Pz.BfWg's were produced.

About 12 vehicles were made prior to Anschluss (incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany, March 1938). After the Anschluss production continued. A total of 140 units were built with the new designation RK-7 (Räder-Kettenfahrgestell), although Wehrmacht called them Sd. Kfz. 254. The vehicle had a wheel/track layout and a diesel motor. The wheels were lowered when it was used on roads and retracted for cross-country movement. Some Sd.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Sturmpanzer IV early Sd. Kfz.166 "Brummbar"
Sold Out
Following the success of the 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 in Stalingrad, Panzer IV chassis was used to develop the next Sturmpanzer, an armoured infantry support gun. Production started in May 1943 and continued until March 1945. Allied intelligence called this tank Brummbar ("Grouch"), but the Germans didn't use this name. The Brummbär was used in the Battles of Kursk, Anzio, Normandy, and Warsaw Uprising. Overall around 300 vehicles were built.
The Sturmpanzer IV had the StuH 43 L/12 gun which could fire both high explosive and shaped charge rounds. However, the high gross weight and massive armoured structure overloaded the Panzer IV chassis. It made the entire vehicle overweight and inclined to front. The tank was underpowered and suffered from transmission failures.
The Sturmpanzer IV had many variations. The tank's superstructure and the StuH 43 gun were successively modified to fix the flaws based on frontline reports and comments.
