Meng Model 1:35 - King Tiger Sd.Kfz.182 (Henschel Turret) - Plastic model kit #TS-031
The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. Its 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 initial design of the Tiger II was developed in 1937 by the Henschel company. Another design was developed by Porsche in 1939, but it was declined due to higher production costs.
Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the sloped armour of the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.
The Tiger II first saw combat during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Fortunately for the Allies, German plants were severely disrupted by Allied bombing, so a relatively small number of Tiger II's were built. Mass production ran from 1944 to the end of the war and only 492 units were produced during that period.
The kit includes parts for the King Tiger Sd.Kfz.182 heavy tank with two different gun mantlets.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger I (Early version, with interior) - Plastic model kit #13239 (Replaces ACA01348)
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, was deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe commonly in independent heavy tank battalions with the designation Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E often shortened to Tiger. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that used the KwK 36 88-mm gun. In total 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. Production was over time phased out in favour of the Tiger II.
The Tiger I has been called an excellent design for its time, however it was over-engineered, using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods. The Tiger was prone to some types of track failures and breakdowns, and had limited range given its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to run, but normally mechanically reliable. It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilisation when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk-pattern road wheels, often causing them to jam. This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy rasputitsa (semi-annual mud seasons) and winter weather conditions.
The tank was named "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The early designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (‘‘Panzer VI version H’’, abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H) where 'H' denoted Henschel as the designer/manufacturer. It was given ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182. The tank was later redesignated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181.
Tigers had a crew of 5. They could travel up to 23mph on roads and were powered by the Maybach 21, 353cc V-12 engines that delivered 642hp.

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.

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.

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.

Miniart 1:35 - British Bantam 40 BRC w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35324
At the outbreak of WWII, the American Army starting looking for a General Purpose Vehicle. The American Bantam Company came up with a design that passed rigorous testing, but they didn’t have the required capacity for the mass production. As the Government now owned the design, they contracted out the build to Willys Overland and Ford in 1941, and they came up with a slightly altered version in the form of the familiar Willys Jeep.
The American Bantam company did end up producing 2675 Bantam BRC- 40’s, but once the US Army standardised the production of the Ford and Willys version all the Bantams were either issued to Britain or Russia under the Lend Lease scheme. The British used the some of the limited number they received in the Desert Campaign in North Africa.

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.

Meng Model 1:35 - British Heavy Tank Mk.V Male - Plastic model kit #TS-020
The British heavy tank Mk.V Male, also known as the Mark V, was put into service in 1918, near the end of WWI. Based on the Mark IV, the Mk.V differed greatly from its predecessor, thanks to its Wilson gearbox the tank required only one man to set it in motion. The main distinctive feature of the exterior was the air cooling system installed on each side of the tank. In addition, the design was improved by a Ricardo engine and an extra mounted machine-gun.
The Mark V first saw action during the Australian offensive against the German units in Northern France, called the Battle of Hamel. The tank was also used by both the White Armed Forces in the Russian Civil War and the Red Army afterwards.
Until the end of WWI a total of 400 Mk.V tanks were built, both Males and Females. The Males carried two 57 mm guns and four machine guns, while lighter and smaller Females were armed with six machine guns only.

Meng Model 1:35 - Interior Set for M3A3 Bradley w/ Busk III - Plastic model kit #SPS-017
The M3 Bradley is an American cavalry fighting vehicle (CFV) of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle family. It is used by US heavy armoured cavalry units mainly in reconnaissance operations. Similar to the M2 series, the M3 is armed with the 25 mm M242 chain gun and the dual TOW anti-tank missile launcher. The 7.62 mm M240C machine gun is included as secondary armament. Compared to the M2, the M3 is able to carry more TOW missiles and ammunition, although its design lacks firing ports which are present on M2 vehicles.
The M3A3 is the latest model of the M3 series. It has been improved with more advanced information and communication equipment as well as the commander's independent thermal sights and thicker armour on the roof. Also, the M3A3 has been equipped with the Improved Bradley Acquisition System (IBAS) which allows automatic adjustment of the gun, automatic alignment of the optical sights with the gun barrel and gives the ability to track two targets simultaneously. The M3A3 and other M3 vehicles saw action during the Gulf War in 1990 and the Invasion of Iraq in 2003.
This kit reproduces the interior of the Meng Model M3A3 Bradley BUSK III CVF (SS-006). It includes parts for the driver's, passenger's and turret compartments as well as parts for the engine. The kit contains highly detailed decals and two soft-plastic seat belts. The decals replicate data screens and markings for TOW anti-tank missiles placed inside the vehicle.

The German VK1602 Leopard was designed in 1942 as a reconnaissance tank based on the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J (VK 1601). It was planned to finish the first prototype by the 1st of September 1942, and the serial production was scheduled for April 1943. However, the project was abandoned when the first prototype was still incomplete. The reason for cancellation was that the tank's gun, the 50 mm L/60, was insufficient to fight against modern Soviet and Western tanks, which made the vehicle vulnerable. Moreover, the Leopard had a very high weight (21900 kg). The fact that the Leopard was similar to the Panther meant that a reconnaissance Panther could be developed and produced at lower cost.

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.

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.

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.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. 35 (t) - Plastic model kit #13280
The Panzerkampfwagen 35(t) was a Czechoslovak-designed light tank used mainly by the Wehrmacht in World War II. The letter (t) stood for tschechisch (German: "Czech"). In Czechoslovak service, it had the formal designation Lehký tank vzor 35 (Light Tank Model 35), but was commonly referred to as the LT vz. 35 or LT-35.
Of the 434 built, the Wehrmacht seized 244 when they occupied Bohemia-Moravia in March 1939 and the Slovaks took over 52 when they declared independence from Czechoslovakia. Others were also sent to Bulgaria and Romania. In German service, the tank saw combat during the early years of World War II, notably the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France and the invasion of the Soviet Union. They were used for the remainder of the war by other countries and as a training tank in Bulgaria into the 1950s.
Sprue Layout:
Two vehicles can be built from the kit, one from service in France, and the alternative from the Eastern Front. Both variants are tanks from the 6th Panzer Division that were painted dark grey.

Academy 1:35 - German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. H, Mid Version - Plastic model kit #13516
The German medium tank Panzerkampfwagen IV was developed in the late 1930s and was used extensively during WWII. The production of the Panzer IV Ausf. H started in June 1943. This version was designated the Sd. Kfz. 161/2. Compared to the previous variants, this model had Zimmerit paste on all the vertical surfaces of its armour in order to prevent adhesion of magnetic anti-tank mines. The turret roof was reinforced from 10mm to 16 and 25mm segments. 5mm hull skirts and 8mm turret skirts were added for further protection, which resulted in the elimination of the vision ports on the hull side. Later the hull was also fitted with triangular supports for the easily damaged side skirts. Along with some other modifications, these additions to the design increased the tank's weight to 25 tonnes, and the maximum speed dropped to 16 km/h on cross country terrain.
Details:
- WWII German Army medium tank
- Detailed Ausf. H Mid production version was made in late 1943
- Features 75mm KwK 40/L48 main gun and MG34 machine gun

Revell 1:35 - Sd.Kfz. 184 Tank Hunter "Elefant" - Plastic Model Kit #03254
The Elefant was a heavy tank destroyer produced by the Porsche car company in 1943. The initial version was named "Ferdinand" after its designer Ferdinand Porsche.
The Ferdinand was modified after its debut in the Battle of Kursk during which a number of flaws were revealed. The improvements mainly concerned the construction of the tank and its armament. The vehicle was supplemented with a commander's cupola and a layer of front armour. Also, it was additionally armed with a MG 34 machine gun and covered with Zimmerit. The advanced model was renamed "Elefant". Officially it was known as Panzerjäger Tiger (P) or Sd.Kfz. 184.
Today one of these vehicles is on show at the Kubinka Tank Museum in Russia, and another belongs to the United States Army Ordnance Museum. These two tanks are the only samples of the series that survived the war.

Master Box 1:35 German Motorcycle & Sidecar WWII - Plastic Figure Model Kit #3528
The kit represents the German BMW R75 motorcycle with a sidecar which can be mounted with either an MG 34 or an MG 42 machine gun. The development of the R75 started in 1938 following a request from the German Army. Initial units were equipped with 750 cc side valve engines, however later they were replaced by new OHV 750 cc engines. The R75 was proved highly manoeuvrable and suitable for off-road conditions. Even today a well-restored vehicle can perform well both on and off-road.
The R75 was deployed by German troops in the USSR and Northern Africa during WWII. It remained in production until 1944 when the Eisenach factory was bombed by the Allied forces. The success of the motorcycle during the war inspired the US military who asked Harley-Davidson to create a similar vehicle for the US Army. So the Harley-Davidson XA was produced, a close copy of the R-75.
The kit contains parts for the assembly of one R-75 motorcycle with a sidecar and a gun. Two gun options are provided: the MG 34 and the MG 42. Glue and paint are not included.

The U.S. Army cargo truck GMC CCKW was produced from 1941 until 1945 and saw service in the Second World War and the Korean War. The US Army needed a transport vehile that would be easy to manufacture and capable of being transported by the Navy. The GMC - General Motors Truck Company - won the contract in 1941 and by the end of the war over 562 thousand vehicles were produced.
Apart from its function as a transport vehicle, the GMC CCKW was also used for food and ammunition resupply and as a medical evacuation vehicle. The GMC CCKW 353 equipped with the Bofors 40 mm gun was a French version of the vehicle used almost exclusively by the Free French Army. It also saw service in Algeria and Indochina.

Academy 1:35 - Warrior MCV "Iraq 2003" - Plastic model kit #13201
The Warrior is a modern infantry combat vehicle of British origin also known as the MCV-80 according to its initial designation. Started in the late 1970s by GKN Sankey, its development was commissioned by the UK Army that sought a replacement for the older FV432 series. The vehicle is aimed to defend the crew from enemy gunfire and to ensure fire-power support during land operations. Its crew includes: driver, gunner, commander and seven soldiers in full gear.
The Warrior carried British troops to the battlefield during the Invasion of Iraq that started in 2003 and marked the beginning of the Iraq War. The Invasion lasted for 21 days and resulted in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime. The campaign against the Iraqi government was conducted by the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland. Along with the War in Iraq, the Warrior vehicles were used during the Gulf War and the war in Afghanistan.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger I Heavy Tank 'Late Version' (Late production version) - Plastic model kit #13314
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, was deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe commonly in independent heavy tank battalions with the designation Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E often shortened to Tiger. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that used the KwK 36 88-mm gun. In total 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. Production was over time phased out in favour of the Tiger II.
The Tiger I has been called an excellent design for its time, however it was over-engineered, using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods. The Tiger was prone to some types of track failures and breakdowns, and had limited range given its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to run, but normally mechanically reliable. It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilisation when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk-pattern road wheels, often causing them to jam. This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy rasputitsa (semi-annual mud seasons) and winter weather conditions.
The tank was named "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The early designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (‘‘Panzer VI version H’’, abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H) where 'H' denoted Henschel as the designer/manufacturer. It was given ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182. The tank was later redesignated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181.
Tigers had a crew of 5. They could travel up to 23mph on roads and were powered by the Maybach 21, 353cc V-12 engines that delivered 642hp.

Academy 1:35 - German Panzer IV Ausf. H/J - Plastic model kit #13234
The Panzerkampfwagen IV was a German medium tank extensively used during WWII.
The production of the Ausf. H, designated the Sd. Kfz. 161/2, started in June 1943. At that time Germany expected that the Allies would use magnetic anti-tank mines in large numbers. This resulted in adding Zimmerit paste to all the vertical surfaces of the Ausf. H's armour to prevent adhesion of the mines.
The glacis armour was manufactured as a single 80mm plate. The turret roof was reinforced from 10mm to 16mm and 25mm segments. Additional 5mm hull skirts and 8mm turret skirts were added to the tank's side and turret for protection. The vehicle's rubber-tired return rollers were replaced with cast steel. In the end the tank's weight increased to 25 tonnes and its top speed dropped to 16 km/h.
The final version of the Panzer IV - the Ausf. J - was greatly simplified in order to speed up the production. Due to the removal of the electric generator which powered the turret traverse, the turret had to be rotated manually. The resulting space was used for the installation of an additional fuel tank. By late 1944, Zimmerit was no longer used on German armoured vehicles, and the tank's side-skirts were replaced by wire mesh.

Academy 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (Late production version) - Plastic model kit #13230
The Jagdpanzer 38 (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as the Hetzer ("pursuer/hunter"), was a German light tank destroyer, based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.
The Jagdpanzer 38 was a common late-war German tank destroyer. It was produced in relatively large numbers and was for the most part mechanically reliable. The tank first entered service in July 1944. Armed with the 7.5cm PaK 39 L48 main gun with limited traverse and featured sloped armour on its very low profile. An MG34 was mounted to the vehicle roof. It was well liked by crews, fairly reliable and concealable. Drawbacks were that it was very cramped inside the tank, had limited ammo and very thin armour. It was first used in the field in July of 1944 and would go on to serve on both fronts. Approximately 2,800 were built. The name Hetzer was unofficial and used by German troops in the field, then adopted by post war publications.
Due to the large number produced, the Jagdpanzer 38 is probably the most abundant WWII German tank destroyer remaining today.

Academy 1:35 - German StuG IV Sd.Kfz.167 Early - Plastic model kit #13522
The Sturmgeschütz IV, shortened to StuG IV or Sd.Kfz.167, was a German assault gun designed on the basis of the Panzer IV in the last years of the Second World War. The main role of the StuG IV on the battlefield was the same anti-tank role of its predecessor the StuG III. The use of StuG IV guns was a considerable support to the weakening German forces on both fronts.
The StuG IV was practically identical to its predecessor, however it was a bit lighter, which in view of the limited resources was a great advantage. In the period between December 1943 and May 1945 over a thousand StuG IVs were built. The gun was proved effective against both Soviet and Allied tanks.

The JS-7 heavy tank, also known as the IS-7, was designed in 1948. With its mass equal to 68 tonnes it was the largest and heaviest specimen of the Joseph Stalin tank series. The JS-7 was distinguished by 130 mm S-70 long-barrel gun and thick armour able to protect against the German Pak 44 L/55. Besides, the JS-7 had a "pike nose" front that ensured a high level of protection against head-on attacks. Due to its 1050-hp engine, the tank could travel at 60 km/h.
Despite all its merits, the JS-7 never entered production; there were fears that railway platforms and bridges couldn't bear its weight.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German E-75 (75-100 tons) Standardpanzer - Plastic model kit #01538
The German Entwicklung, or E-series tank designs were intended to replace the existing tanks such as the Jagdpanzer 38(t), Panther Ausf.G and Tiger II. The E-series vehicles were meant to be much simpler and cheaper to produce than their predecessors.
The E-75 Standardpanzer - standard heavy tank - was designed to replace the Tiger II and Jagdtiger. 75 stood for the intended weight of the vehicle - 75 tonnes. The E-75 was to use the Maybach HL 234 engine and due to its heavy weight the vehicle's maximum speed would be around 40 km/h.
The E-75 Standardpanzer shared many components with the E-50 which was intended to replace the Panther and Tiger I. The two vehicles were meant to have the same turret and the 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun.
