The kit consists of over 440 parts – the kit w/refined detail – multi-slide moulded lower hull – 192 individual tracks links – Photo Etched Parts & Metal gun barrel included

KV-1S – A lighter variant of late 1942 with higher speed, but thinner armour. A new, smaller, cast turret and redesigned rear hull were used. 1370 were built. In response to criticisms, the lighter KV-1S (Russian language: КВ-1С) was released, with thinner armour and a smaller, lower turret in order to reclaim some speed. Importantly, the KV-1S also had a commander’s cupola with all-around vision blocks, a first for a Soviet heavy tank. However, the thinning-out of the armor called into question why the tank was being produced at all, when the T-34 could seemingly do everything the KV could do and much more cheaply. The Soviet heavy tank program was close to cancellation in mid-1943.

A book from Squadron Signal the book «German Cruisers Of World War Two – Squadron Signal 4024» .

History: Capital ship evolution was reasonably straightforward during the 19th Century. Steam power replaced sails, metal hulls replaced wood, and a small number of breech-loading rifles replaced a much larger number of smoothbore muzzle-loaders. This was partly because the line-of-battle ships’ role remained simple: to be part of a fleet of similar ships capable of defeating any enemy’s fleet of battleships. The evolution of cruising ship was far more complex. with many different, often parallel lines of development…

Sujet	Sd. Automobile. 167 Assault Gun IV

A mock-up of the home Italeri le kit "Sd. Automobile. 167 Assault Gun IV - ITALERI 6491"

The Sturmgeschutz (StuG) was used as infantry fire support. The StuG have done very well in their original role, destroying, among other things, bunkers, casemates and countless other defenses. The StuG is generally not considered a tank due to the absence of the turret. The barrel is mounted directly in a casemate, with the lowest possible profile, in order to reduce the height, with a limited inclination of the barrel. The absence of the turret leads to simpler and more economical production, allowing many to be produced. The StuG IV (SdKfz167) was armed with a 75mm STUK 40L/48 gun mounted with a cast-iron "Saukopf" shield. The majority were assigned to armoured infantry divisions and armoured grenader divisions.

Une maquette de chez ITALERI le kit “38 cm RW 61 auf Sturmmörser Tiger – ITALERI 299”.

L’armée allemande, lors de ses campagnes menées durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avait souvent besoin de traiter des centres de résistance ou de défense fortifiée dans les agglomérations urbaines, où l’utilisation de l’artillerie ou l’aviation était impossible du fait de la proximité entre l’ennemi et ses troupes. Ce Sturmmörser de “démolition” se base sur le chassis d’un char Tiger auquel on a greffé un canon de 38 cm qui avait une très courte portée mais une puissance destructrice énorme. Le Sturmtiger a été construit en petite quantité et a été employé à la fin de 1944, principalement dans le front de l’Est.

A kit about the StuG.III Ausf.G Dec. 1943 Production from the brand DRAGON Models the kit “StuG.III Ausf.G Dec. 1943 Production – DRAGON 6581”.

The StuG.III (Sd.Kfz.142), based on the widely used Panzer III family of tanks, evolved into a very capable German tank destroyer during WWII. In fact, the StuG.III was Germany’s most widely manufactured armored fighting vehicle of the war. As enemy tanks improved their protection and armament, Germany responded by fitting the 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48 gun inside the vehicle’s casemate. This variant was known as the Ausf.G, of which 7,720 were produced from December 1942 through till April 1945. This made the Ausf.G the most common German tank destroyer variant by far, and hence one of the most popular amongst modelers too.
