One of the largest, heaviest battleships ever constructed, the Yamato displaced a whopping 72,800 tons at full load.

Launched on November 7, 1931, the U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) was the second ship to be named after Indiana’s state capital.

On July 30, 1945, she was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-58, sinking within twelve minutes. By the time rescue ships arrived, there were just over 300 survivors (out of 1,196 crewmen).

A model of the brand Revell the kit: Macchi MC200 Saetta – Revell 3991.

The Macchi C.200 was one of WWII’s fastest, most maneuverable aircraft. Mario Castoldi, the creator of the Schneider Trophy-winning M.39, was the project’s lead designer. Castoldi used his racing aircraft expertise to construct an all-metal fighter with a fully enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear. Prototypes were powered by an 870 hp Fiat® A.74 radial engine, which resulted in 500 mph (805 km/h) speeds while diving. Kit features structured surfaces, a detailed radial engine, a detailed undercarriage, a movable propeller, a pilot figure and decals for Italian and German versions.
