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 instruction with a painting colour reference chart (for Vallejo paints) is also provided.

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.

Tamiya 1:35 - German Schwimmwagen Type 166
£13.00 GBP
The Schwimmwagen Type 166 was an amphibious four-wheel drive off-roader produced by Volkswagen and extensively used by German ground forces during WWII. The Type 166 was made smaller than its prototypes in order to improve the vehicle's efficiency, and had a wheel-base of only 200 cm. From 1941 to 1944, over 15,500 Type 166 Schwimmwagen cars were produced, which made the VW 166 the most mass-produced amphibious car in history.
The kit includes parts for the assembly of one vehicle with a driver. Certain accessories pictured are not included.
