During the 1960’s, the Israeli Ordnance Corps upgraded their M4A1 Sherman tanks by equipping them with the powerful French 105mm CN-105-F1 tank gun and they were redesignated as M51s. The larger gun meant a muzzle brake was installed to minimize the greater recoil effect and a counterweight was fitted to the rear of the turret. The 460hp diesel engine and the combination of the Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS) and wider T80 tracks gave the M51 improved mobility. During the Six-Day War in 1967, the M51s were used against newer T-54/55 tanks as well as JS-3 tanks from Egyptian, Iraqi, and Syrian armies. The M51’s 105mm gun could take on these adversaries by using HEAT ammunition. After the war, these M51s continued to serve with distinction until they were finally retired in the early 1980s.

Description	Une maquette du «M-24 Chaffee Light Tank»

Une maquette de la marque Bronco le kit: «M-24 Chaffee Light Tank w/Crew Set – Bronco CB35069».

Le Light Tank M24 ou M24 Chaffee était un char léger fabriqué par les États-Unis lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a été désigné Chaffee par les Britanniques

The US Army entered WWII with the M3 Stuart Light Tank, which worked well, but was tall and noisy. Not ideal features of a reconnaissance vehicle and not rectified in the later M5 series. A new Light Tank was specified in 1943 using the M5 powertrain, but with a sleek new hull and turret. This was to emerge as the Light Tank M24. The noisy VVSS was replaced with a new torsion bar suspension, and weight was kept to 20 tons. Firepower was greatly increased by mounting a light weight 75mm gun using the same ammunition as the M4 Sherman. The M24 was well received by its crews, but it arrived too late to see much action, the first tanks arriving in Europe by November 1944. A few were passed on to the British and Free French before the war ended. Armour was up to 25mm thick and the road speed up to 56k/mh, maximum road range was 161 kilometers. A total of 4,731 M24’s were built by the end of WWII. The chassis was used for a whole range of Self-Propelled Guns and weapon carriers.

Une maquette de la marque Cyber-Hobby le kit : «Flakpanzer V Coelian w/Panzer Riders – Cyber-Hobby 9121».

Dragon has released a 1/35 scale kit of “Coelian” before, but now it has become more attractive than ever! As an Orange Box item, the kit has been upgraded. The kit is equipped with a new set of Panther Magic Tracks, but most useful of all perhaps is the inclusion of a set of figures. The 1/35 figure set is a set of four German tank riders. They are totally suited to the vehicle, for they are late-war figures designed specially to fit on a Panther engine deck. With the bundled figures, this Flakpanzer V “Coelian” is an extremely attractive proposition that comes at a very reasonable price.

The Panther was a hugely successful tank within the ranks of the German military during WWII. A number of variants based on the Panther were built, including the Bergepanther recovery vehicle. However, there are other lesser-known variants that didn’t enter full-series production, one of which was the Flakpanzer V. Rheinmetall-Borsig began developing this antiaircraft vehicle in December 1943. Its main armament was twin 3.7cm FlaK 43 cannons mounted in an armored turret with a full 360^(o) traverse. One other feature of the turret was that it permitted the guns to be elevated almost vertically when taking on marauding enemy aircraft. The official designation of the vehicle was Flakpanzer 341, but it was commonly referred to as the Flakpanzer V “Coelian”.

Le FlaKPanzer v Coelian était un prototype allemand de batterie anti-aérienne montée sur un chassis de char Panzer V. Une paire de canons Flak 43 37mm devait être montée sur la tourelle du tank, ces canons généraient une grande masse de shrapnel à l’explosion ce qui ne nécessitait pas un coup direct sur l’avion visé.

Sujet	German Super Tank Maus

Une maquette de la marque Cyber-Hobby le kit : «German Super Tank Maus – Cyber-Hobby 9133». Cyber-Hobby has come up with a real heavyweight duo in its latest 1/35 scale Orange Box item. The set contains the German heavy tank design known as Maus, while the accompanying figures are composed of a German tank hunter team. What could be more effective than this powerful combination? An impregnable tank and a mobile antitank team! The Maus tank, if it had been completed, would have weighed in at a staggering 188 tons. This super-heavy tank was armed with a 12.8cm gun and coaxial 7.5cm KwK44 cannon. Design work kicked off in 1942 under Hitler’s orders, and the V1 prototype with simulated turret was tested in December 1943. It subsequently received a turret and was tested in June 1944. However, such an iron behemoth was understandably beset by mechanical and engine difficulties, and the prototypes never saw combat. Nevertheless, Dragon’s classic kit of this unique vehicle accurately depicts what the Maus could have been had it entered German service. Parts fit together easily to create the monobloc appearance of this mighty vehicle. The vehicle is protected by a team of German soldiers armed with a range of late-war antitank weapons such as the 8.8cm Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust. The figures are sharply sculpted and are depicted in realistic poses. Being the first time that Orange Box has released such a heavy tank, this super-heavyweight set possesses a decisive one-two knockout punch. Yet despite the enormous size of the contents, the price of the 1/35 scale set remains commendably modest!

Une maquette de chez ITALERI le kit «Spitfire F.Mk. Vll – ITALERI 1318».

Il Supermarine Spitfire Mk VII viene sviluppato con il preciso scopo di dotare la RAF britannica di un efficace caccia d’alta quota. La precedente versione Mk VI non venne infatti ritenuta idonea per l’impiego operativo e per fronteggiare possibili incursioni, peraltro mai avvenute, di bombardieri d’alta quota.

Il Mk VII, soprattutto nella configurazione con il potente ed affidabile motore Merlin 71, riusciva a raggiungere i 13.700 metri di altitudine garantendo superbe prestazioni e surclassando le precedenti versioni. Lo Spitfire Mk VII si caratterizzava per la cabina pressurizzata, l’elica a quattro pale, una fusoliera più lunga e per l’innovativa ala dal design appuntito alle estremità. Restò in produzione dall’agosto del 1942 ai primi mesi del 1944 e fu realizzato in più di 140 esemplari.

The Macchi C.202 Folgore (Italian “thunderbolt”) was an Italian fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by Macchi Aeronautica. It was operated mainly by the Regia Aeronautica (RA; Royal (Italian) Air Force) in and around the Second World War. According to aviation author David Mondey, the Folgore has been considered to be one of the best wartime fighters to serve in large numbers with the Regia Aeronautica.
