A news 2013 of the brand Hasegawa the kit : Japanese Navy battleship Yamato – Hasegawa Z01.

One of the largest, heaviest battleships ever constructed, the Yamato displaced a whopping 72,800 tons at full load. She was armed with nine 46 cm (18 in) main guns, which is the largest caliber artillery ever recorded for any warship. Surprisingly, the only time the Yamato ever fired her guns was during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944.

Topic	Kadett K38 Saloon, WWII German Staff Car

A model of the brand ICM : the kit Kadett K38 Saloon, WWII German Staff Car – ICM 35478 .

ICM has updated us on their latest model in the works the Kadett K38 Saloon in 1/35th scale. The CAD images show that a lot of effort has gone into the engine bay and the chassis of the vehicle, and while it is not viewable at the moment I believe the interior has been equally well replicated.

B-52D Stratofortress
Country	USA
Type	Long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber
Produced	1952–1962
Built	744

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber carries up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons. Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight-wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. Although a veteran of several wars, the Stratofortress has dropped only conventional munitions in combat.

ROKS-3 flamethrowers
Country	URSS
Type	Flamethrower
Model	ROKS-3 flamethrowers
Topic	Album of 13 photos walk-around of a ROKS-3 flamethrowers

The ROKS-2 and ROKS-3 were man-portable flamethrowers used by the USSR in the Second World War. The ROKS-2 was designed not to draw attention so the fuel tank was designed to be easy to conceal within a knapsack, and the fuel pipe designed to resemble a rifle. ROKS-3 was a simplified design and had a regular cylindrical fuel tank. The Finnish designation for captured ROKS-2 units was M/41-r. Roks-2 were used, amongst other engagements, during the close-range fighting during the first days of the battle of Kursk in 1943.
