The Volkettenfahrzeuge 4502 (Porsche) Ausf. B, or VK4502 (P) Ausf. B, was an experimental German heavy tank designed by Porsche in 1942. It was based on the previous VK4501(P) design. Initially it was proposed that the chassis design for the VK4502 (P) could be adopted from the VK4501 (P) with minimum modifications. The tank was supposed to have a maximum speed of 35 km/h and weigh around 45 tonnes. The turret for the VK4502 was also designed by Porsche.
In 1942, a production contract for 100 VK4502 armour shells and 100 turrets was given to Fried Kruppe AG Essen. Kruppe planned to begin the production after completing 100 VK4501 hulls. Later Krupp was asked to complete only 30 Type 180 hulls. However, the project took a serious setback when the Porsche's 101/3 engine failed during the testing.
The contracts for the VK4502 hulls and turrets were terminated. By January 1943, Krupp had already manufactured 20 armour turret bodies for the VK4502 and around 40 to 50 were under construction at the time of cancellation. Krupp then got the permission to assemble three operational turrets for the VK4502. Porsche confirmed that three Tiger P2 VK4502 with electric drives were being completed at the Nibelungwerk. New vehicles were supposed to feature new hydraulic drives, a new suspension system and an air-cooled diesel engine. However, nothing more was heard about the fate of the VK4502 until April 1944 when Krupp reported that one of the turrets was completed and the other two were close to completion. In August 1944 the remaining turrets were converted for use on the Henschel chassis.

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.

The Achzarit is a heavy armoured personnel carrier produced by the Israeli Defence Forces in 1988. Its name means "Cruel" in Hebrew and in civilian life is used to refer to a woman.
The Achzarit was built on the basis of the Soviet T-54/T-55 tank, several units of which were captured by Israeli Forces from Arabs during the Arab-Israeli wars. The turret was removed from the tank and its chassis was redesigned to make it suitable for carrying soldiers. The vehicle was equipped with a smaller, but more powerful engine and has reactive armour.
The armament of the APC consists of three 7.62mm machine guns, including one controlled by a Rafael Overhead Weapon Station. Later versions feature a bulletproof glass turret to protect the commander from small arms fire when he looks outside the vehicle. The Achzarit was deployed during Operation Rainbow in Rafah in 2004 and the Gaza War in 2008.

The 2A4 models are the most wide spread versions of the Leopard 2. The Leopard 2A4M CAN is an upgraded Canadian version of the Leopard 2A designed for the war in Afghanistan. The tank's main gun was the L44, although originally it had been planned to arm it with the L55, until the longer barreled guns intended for tank-vs-tank warfare were found to be less suitable for Afghanistan.

The Steyr ADGZ, also known as the M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen, was a heavy armoured vehicle designed for the needs of the Austrian Army in 1934. The production was started in 1935 and lasted two years. KwK 35 L/45 was used as the main armament.
Both the Austrian Army and Police used a number of M35 vehicles during the Anschluss (the German annexation of Austria in 1938). When the Germans came to power, the cars were widely deployed by the Police as well as in combat in the Balkans and on the Eastern theatre of WWII.
By order of the SS a few additional M35 units were produced in 1942. They were designed without a rear which made it possible to drive the vehicles at both ends. In wartime the M35 saw action during the Invasion of Poland and Operation Barbarossa.

The M3 was used by the cavalry units of the U.S. Army in the North African Campaign, the invasion of Sicily, and a small number of vehicles were deployed in Normandy. The M3A1 was supplied to the Soviet Union and Britain under lend-lease. These vehicles were also used by the Free French Forces as well as Belgian, Czechoslovak and Polish units.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - M3A1 Scout Car 'White' Late Version - Plastic model kit #82452
Production of the U.S. 'White' M3A1 scout car (named after its manufacturer, the White Motor Company) started in 1940 with 20,918 vehicles built until 1944. Initially it was used by armoured and reconnaissance units, but it was better suited for road use than for cross-country terrain. During the war the M3A1 was not often used in the dangerous role of a scout vehicle. Trial versions included the M3A1E1 with a diesel engine, the M3A1E2 with an armored roof, and the M3A1E3 mounting a 37mm (1.46 in) gun on a rotating pedestal. By 1943 it became clear that the vehicle had poor off-road mobility and poor armament, and it was replaced with the M8 armoured car and similar M20 Utility Car in most of the US Army units. The M3 was supplied in large numbers under Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union and to Free French forces. After the war, vehicles were exported to Israel and other countries, where they served for many years.

The M706 Commando was an American armoured car capable of travelling across water. It was designed to transport a crew, first-aid equipment, fire extinguishers and mortar shells. It also served as an anti-tank vehicle.
Featuring the Chrysler V8 engine, four-wheel drive and five-speed manual transmission, the car could move at a maximum speed of 100 km/h on land and 5 km/h across water. The Commando was widely used during the Vietnam War, at that time nicknamed the Duck, or the V. It also performed on the battlefield in Iraq during the Persian Gulf War.

The Panzer I Ausf. C had nothing in common with either Ausf. A or B except for the name. It was designed by Krauss-Maffei and Daimler-Benz in 1939 to serve as an armed reconnaissance light tank. The Panzer I Ausf. C had a completely new chassis and turret, a modern torsion-bar suspension and five interleaved roadwheels. The Ausf. C's maximum armour thickness of 30mm (1.18 in) was over twice as much as that of the Ausf. A or B. Overall forty Ausf. C's were produced, along with six prototypes. Two tanks were deployed to the 1st Panzer Division in 1943, and the other thirty-eight were used by the LVIII Panzer Reserve Corps during the Normandy landings.

The T-50 was a Soviet light tank developed in 1939 for the needs of the Red Army. After the Spanish Civil War it became obvious that the Soviet tank fleet consisted mostly of modified versions of foreign vehicles required an upgrade. The T-50 was planned to replace the T-26 light infantry tank which was a Soviet redesign of the British Vickers Mark E.
The production of the T-50 began shortly after the German attack on the USSR in June 1941. A torsion-spring suspension, a diesel engine, and a good slope of armour made the tank one of the most advanced Soviet designs of that time. One more advantage of the T-50 was a commander's cupola used in Soviet tanks for the first time (instead of panoramic periscopes). Similar to Soviet medium and heavy tanks, the T-50 also had a three-man turret.
However, despite of its remarkable design, the T-50 never entered mass-production due to a number of technical problems. One of the problems was the tank's new diesel engine which was proved unreliable and expensive to produce. Only 69 units of the T-50 were completed. Later the Red Army rejected the concept of light infantry tanks replacing them with cheaper SU-76 self-propelled guns and more efficient T-34 medium tanks.
Several T-50 tanks saw action on the Leningrad front. One unit was taken over by Finnish troops and now is displayed in Finland.

The ZIS-5 was a 4x2 Soviet truck that originated from the AMO-2 series. Its mass production started in 1933 at Moscow ZIS factory (ZIS - "Zavod Imeni Stalina" or Plant of Stalin's Name) and lasted long after the war.
The truck instantly became one of the most widely used vehicles of next two decades. Due to its high reliability and simple construction it gained popularity with Soviet troops in wartime: at the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa up to 100 thousand ZIS-5's were in service with the Red Army. During the war the ZIS-5 was deployed as both a cargo vehicle and a light artillery tractor. It was also used to transport soldiers and military supplies to the front lines.
The ZIS-5 was the second most used army truck of the early war period, surpassed only by the GAZ-AA. It played a great role in supplying provisions to Leningrad during the Blockade. The ZIS-5 was also the first Soviet truck consigned for export to such countries as Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Spain, China, Romania and others.

Kfz. 221, but was equipped with a frame antenna and a radio set. Initially it was armed with a 7.92mm MG 13 machine gun, but it was changed to a Maschinengewehr 34 in 1938. This model was manufactured from 1936 to 1944. At least 567 Sd. Kfz. 223 cars were produced for the army.

The BA-20 Soviet armoured car was developed in 1934. Its full production started in 1935 and ran until the first months of 1942. In the early stages of WWII the car was used mainly as a scout vehicle.
The crew consisted of two people - a driver and a commander (gunner). The vehicle's tyres were resistant to bullets and it was the first armoured car produced by the Soviet Union that had an escape hatch in the floor between the chassis legs. The BA-20M was an improved version of the BA-20: command vehicles of this type had a whip antenna as opposed to the clothes-rail antenna on the command versions of the BA-20.
The BA-20M armoured car was deployed during the Battles of Khalkhyn Gol in 1939, the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1939-1940, and the annexation of the Baltic Republics - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1940. The BA-20 then saw combat during the early phases of the Great Patriotic War. Some vehicles were captured by the German army and were designated Panzerspahwagen BA-202 (r).

The Soviet truck KrAZ-255B entered production in 1965, and full series production started in 1967. KrAZ stood for Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod (Kremenchuk Automobile Plant), a Ukrainian factory which produced these trucks. The KrAZ-255B had a revised braking system and was intended to replace the earlier KrAZ-214 truck. It had some visual similarities with the earlier KrAZ-214 but had a more powerful engine. Other design improvements included a hydraulic steering booster instead of the pneumatic booster of the KrAZ-214, and the standard 14.00-20 tyres of the KrAZ-214 were substituted by the new wide section pressure adjustable tires with a centralised tire inflation system controlled by the driver directly from the cab. In 1976 the KrAZ-255B was equipped with a new dual-circuit braking system to replace the single circuit system, and such vehicles were given the revised KrAZ-255B (B1) designation. Overall from 1967 till 1994 around 82,000 KrAZ-255B's were produced.

The T-26 was a Soviet light infantry tank based on the British Vickers 6-Ton tank designed by the Vickers-Armstrongs company in 1928-1929. The T-26 was one of the most successful tanks of its time. More than 11,000 T-26's were manufactured in the 1930s. The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production. One of them was the OT-130 (KhT-130), a flamethrower tank with a 45mm gun turret. Around 12% of all T-26 light tanks were flame-throwing tanks.
The abbreviation "OT" (Ognemetniy Tank, Flame-throwing Tank) was adopted only in the post-war period. Initially these tanks were called "KhT" (Khimicheskiy Tank, Chemical Tank) and were intended for chemical contamination, creating smoke screens and flame throwing.

The T-18 was the first light tank developed in the Soviet Union. Its design was based on the French Renault FT and improved by addition of a vertically sprung suspension to increase the tank speed over rough terrains. The T-18 was also called MS-1, an abbreviation of "Maliy Soprovozhdeniya, Perviy" meaning "Support vehicle, small, type 1".
The first prototype was built in 1927. Designated the T-16, it was powered by a 35 hp truck engine and armed with a 37 mm gun, a modification of the French Puteaux SA 18 cannon. Unable to overcome trenches wider than 1.5 m, the T-16 was replaced by the T-18 which entered production in 1928.
The T-18 was considered an improvement over both the T-16 and the Renault FT. Its armament consisted of a French 37 mm Model 28 cannon and a double-barrelled 6.5 mm Fyodorov machine gun. Overall ammunition included 104 x 37 mm shells and 2,016 x 6.5 mm cartridges. The turret was protected with 8 mm curved plates and a 3 mm mushroom-style cap. The hull armour was 16 mm thick and 3 mm plates were used on the bottom of the tank. The maximum road speed was 18 km/h. However, the T-18 still had problems with crossing trenches and ditches more than 2 m wide and 1.2 m deep.
T-18 tanks were used in service during the Sino-Soviet conflict of 1929. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1940, several T-18s were renewed with 45 mm guns and renamed the T-18M to take part in combat. Despite of the fact that the T-18 design was proved unsuccessful, it was the first step towards more advanced Soviet armoured vehicles.

The T-20 Komsomolets was a Soviet artillery tractor used by the Red Army during the Winter War and the Second World War. Developed at the Ordzhonikidze Moscow Plant no.37, the tractor was produced between 1936 and 1941 and over 4,000 units were built during that period.
The T-20 was intended to tow artillery-type weapons including the 45 mm anti-tank gun and the M1938 120 mm mortar. It also carried a small quantity of ammunition supplies and up to six crew members. The driver and the commander sit in the forward compartment armoured with a Degtyaryov machine gun. The rear compartment had room for the rest of the crew seated back-to-back. A canvas top could be raised in case of bad weather conditions.
During Operation Barbarossa some T-20s served as combat vehicles, however after 1941 they were deployed only as armoured tractors.

The T-24 was a Soviet medium tank produced at the KhPZ factory (Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, Ukraine) in 1931. It had a 45mm main gun, a ball-mount 7.62mm DT machine gun in the hull, and two more guns in the turret and in the secondary turret. The vehicle was considered well-armoured for its time, but it had problems with the engine and transmission. Due to these problems the T-24 was found unreliable. Only 24 tanks were built, and they were used only for training and parades. However, this failure gave the KhPZ factory production experience which was applied later in adopting production of the U.S. Christie tank as the BT tank series.

The T-26 was a Soviet light infantry tank based on the British Vickers 6-Ton tank designed by the Vickers-Armstrongs company in 1928-1929. The T-26 was one of the most successful tanks of its time. More than 11,000 T-26's were manufactured in the 1930s. The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production.
The T-26 was used by the Red Army since 1932. It saw combat in many conflicts of the 1930s and during the Second World War. Along with the BT, the T-26 was considered the main tank of the Red Army during the interwar period. The T-26 saw action in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet-Japanese border conflict, and the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. In 1941 it could withstand most German tanks, but was inferior to the Panzer III and Panzer IV participating in Operation Barbarossa. The T-26 was then gradually replaced by the superior T-34. The remaining T-26's participated in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of the Caucasus.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Early) - Plastic model kit #83851
The Soviet multi-turreted T-28 entered production in 1932. The tank was intended to complement the multi-turreted heavy T-35 and break through fortified defences. The design was similar to the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank produced in 1926. It had a large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller ones with 7.62mm machine guns. From 1933 to 1941 the Soviet Union manufactured 503 T-28's. These tanks were in service during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and the Winter War against Finland in 1939–1940. The T-28 was not very successful in combat and had significant flaws, but it did have a number of advanced features for the time and was superior to some of the enemy's tanks. Soviet tank designers incorporated some of the ideas tried out on the T-28 in future models.

The T-28 was a Soviet medium multi-turret tank designed as a support to the T-35 heavy tank against deliberate defences. The Kirov Factory began T-28 production in 1932 which made it one of the first medium tanks in the world.
The T-28 had one large turret and two smaller ones with a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on each. The multi-turret design was adopted from the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank.
The T-28 saw action during the Soviet military operation in Poland in 1939 and during the conflict between the USSR and Finland in 1939-1940 (known as the Winter War). At the beginning of the Winter War it became clear that the T-28 armour was too thin, later it was thickened up to 80 mm on the front and up to 40 mm on the sides and rear.
Eventually, the T-28 proved unsuccessful on the battlefield, but still it was important in regard to the development of future series.

In the 1920s and 1930s several European armies favoured the concept of large, multi-turreted tanks. Designs for such tanks existed in Britain, France, and Germany. However, it was the Soviet T-35 that became the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production. The T-35 was a heavy tank of the interwar period and early World War II. The tank was large, but inside spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. The T-35 turned out to be slow and mechanically unreliable, and during Operation Barbarossa 90% of the T-35's were lost due to mechanical failures rather than enemy actions. From 1935 till 1940 the T-35 was used primarily for parade duties.

The Soviet T-35 was a multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early WWII that saw limited production and service with the Red Army. The T-35 was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production; however it proved to be slow and mechanically unreliable. Most of the T-35's which were still operational at the time of Operation Barbarossa were lost due to mechanical failure rather than enemy action. The main turret was equipped with a KT-28 cannon also used on the Т-28 medium tank. The the 7.62mm DT machine gun was an auxiliary weapon in the main turret. The tank was large, but on the inside the spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. Some of the turrets obscured the entrance hatches.

The T-37, a Soviet amphibious light tank, was the first series of mass-produced fully amphibious tanks in the world. The design was based on the British Vickers tankette and other operational amphibious tanks. Mass production began in 1933 and ran until 1936, when the T-37 was replaced with the more modern T-38. During the four years of production, the Soviet Union built 2552 T-37's.
The Red Army used this tank for communication, reconnaissance, and defense purposes, as well as for infantry support on the battlefield. The T-37 was used during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, in the Winter War against Finland (1939–1940), and in the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Some T-37's fought on the front lines until 1944.

The T-37A, a Soviet amphibious light tank, was the first mass-produced fully amphibious tank in the world. The T-37A was based on the British Vickers tankette, and entered production in 1932. The Red Army used these tanks for communication, reconnaissance, and defense purposes. The T-37A tank was deployed during the Soviet invasion of Poland, the Winter War and in the beginning of the Second World War. Subsequently the configuration of the tank borrowed from its British prototype became a standard in Soviet amphibious tanks of the 1930s. The T-37 tank was put out of service in 1936 and replaced with the more advanced T-38 series.

The T-38 was a Soviet amphibious light tank of the Second World War period. An improved version of the T-37A light tank, the T-38 was produced from 1936 till 1939. 1,228 tanks were built in 1936-1937, and another 112 - in 1939.
Trials showed that the T-37A had a limited range and unreliable transmission and running gear, which could cause its tracks to fall off while on the move. An improved version of this tank - the T-38 - was supposed to fix these flaws. The turret was moved from the right-hand side of the tank to the left, which switched the driver and commander positions. The T-38 was armed with a 7.62mm DT machine gun.
The tank was designed for reconnaissance and infantry support. Due to its ability to swim, it had a good long-range mobility. It was also intended to be air-portable; in 1936 the T-38's were mounted under the fuselage and transported by Tupolev TB-3 bombers during the Kiev maneuvers. However, due to the thin armour and a single machinegun, the T-38's use in combat was limited. It was also incapable of carrying the weight of two infantrymen while floating; overloads of 120-150kg would sink the vehicle.
The Red Army used the T-38 in 1940, during the Winter War with Finland. Its armament and thin armour made the tank unsuccessful; it was easily penetrated by the fire of rifles and light machine guns. The Germans captured large numbers of T-38's during Operation Barbarossa. During WWII, the main amphibious scout vehicle of the Soviet Union was the U.S. Ford GPA amphibious jeep provided through Lend-Lease.

The GMC CCKW was a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck used in the Second World War and the Korean War. It's often referred to as a "Deuce and a Half" or "Jimmy". The CCKW came in many variants which had an open or closed cab, and a Long Wheel Base (LWB 353) or a Short Wheel Base (SWB 352). Initially all versions had a closed cab, a metal roof and doors, and steel cargo beds. As the war progressed, an open cab version was designed. It had fixed 'half doors', canvas top and sides, and the steel bed was replaced by a wooden one in order to conserve steel. The wooden bed proved unsatisfactory and led to the development of a 'composite' bed with steel sides and framing along with wooden slats for the bed. Later on the composite bed was replaced by an all steel bed.

The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2.5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.

A British medium tank, the Vickers Mark II was developed in the Inter-war period to replace remaining Medium Mark C units, already outmoded by that time. Based on the Vickers Mark I, it surpassed its predecessor in several aspects: it featured an improved suspension, a better placed superstructure and Rackham clutches involving servo-based control. The modifications, however, increased the weight of the vehicle reducing its speed from 24 km/h to 21 km/h.
The Mark II was armed with a 47 mm 3-pounder gun, four machine guns in the turret and two Vickers machine guns, one on either side of the hull. A sloped rear of the turret made it possible to use the machine guns against aircraft.
Both the Mark I and Mark II served in the Royal Tank Regiment until their production was stopped in 1938. Some Mark II's equipped the Mobile Division commanded by Sir Percy Hobart in Egypt, but by the time the Italian invasion began, they were no longer in use. During the threat of German invasion in 1940, some of these tanks were reactivated for a short time.
