Une documentation signée Waffen Arsenal la revue «Focke-Wulf Fw 190 – Waffen Arsenal 095» .

Le Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger était un chasseur-bombardier monoplace et monomoteur utilisé par l’Allemagne nazie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, à partir de 1941 et jusqu’en 1945. Il ne réussit jamais à remplacer complètement le Messerschmitt Bf 109 comme principal chasseur de la Luftwaffe, bien qu’il lui fût supérieur. Il fut produit à plus de 20 000 exemplaires. Grâce à sa polyvalence issue d’une construction modulaire, il donna naissance à un grand nombre de modèles dérivés qui lui permirent de remplacer le Junkers Ju 87 (Stuka) comme avion d’appui des troupes au sol, et le Messerschmitt Bf 110 comme chasseur lourd pour lutter contre les bombardiers, lorsque ces deux derniers avions furent devenus beaucoup trop vulnérables pour continuer à être envoyés au combat. Il fut le premier vrai chasseur-bombardier de la Luftwaffe.

Signed documentation Waffen Arsenal magazine "Kleines Kettenkraftrad - Waffen Arsenal 088" .

The SdKfz 2, better known as Kleines Kettenkraftrad HK 101 ou Kettenkrad est un “Sonderkraftfahrzeug” (SdKfz) ce qui signifie véhicule spécial à moteur. Il s’agit d’un modèle d’autochenille. Produit de 1940 à 1948, il ne transporte que 2 hommes, mais atteint 70 km/h et se comporte très bien sur tout type de terrain. C’était au départ un petit tracteur pour troupes aéroportées. Ce véhicule a été conçu pour être livré par des avions Junkers Ju 52, mais pas par parachute. Le véhicule avait l’avantage d’être le seul petit tracteur d’artillerie, assez petit pour tenir dans la soute du Ju 52. Il a été utilisé comme transport de troupe, mais aussi pour d’autres missions, notamment le déroulage de câbles téléphoniques ou le tractage de pièces d’artillerie légères. Il pesait à vide 1235 kg.

Cyber-Hobby previously produced its first ever 1/72 scale model kit in its Golden Wings series, a Curtiss SB2C-4 Helldiver. The Helldiver was a carrier-based dive-bomber widely used by the US Navy (USN) during WWII. The twin-seat SB2C was roundly criticized for its handling characteristics, range and reliability, but nevertheless it achieved good results in combat after improvements were made during the course of production. It was in the thick of such battles as Rabaul, the Marianas, the Philippines, Taiwan, Iwo Jima, the Ryuku Islands and Okinawa. One of its strengths was the ability to carry a significant amount of munitions, plus it had an internal bomb bay. Some 7,140 Helldivers were manufactured in total. However, Cyber-Hobby is now pleased to be offering a slightly earlier variant of the Helldiver, an SB2C-3. To improve performance, this type had received a 1,900hp R-2600-20 engine and a four-bladed propeller. Some 1,112 SB2C-3 Helldivers were produced by Curtiss.
