A kit from the brand Academy the «Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer [Late Production Version]»
The Jagdpanzer 38(t) (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as Hetzer (“baiter”), was a German light tank destroyer of the Second World War based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis. The project was inspired by the Romanian “Mareşal” tank destroyer.
The name Hetzer was at the time not commonly used for this vehicle. It was the designation for a related prototype, the E-10. The Škoda factory for a very short period confused the two names in its documentation and the very first unit equipped with the vehicle thus for a few weeks applied the incorrect name until matters were cleared. However, there exists a memorandum from Heinz Guderian to Hitler claiming that an unofficial name, Hetzer, had spontaneously been coined by the troops. Post-war historians basing themselves on this statement made the name popular in their works, the vehicle was never named as such in official documents.

| Type | Tank |
The Matilda était un char d’assaut britannique en activité durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Jusqu’à l’année 1941 il était le char en opération le plus blindé, mais ce blindage alourdit le tank (poids de 24 tonnes) au détriment de sa mobilité tandis que son canon de 40 mm ne compense pas cet handicap. Il sera quand même produit à presque 3000 unités entre 1937 et août 1943, date d’arrêt de sa production. Il fut donc engagé dans la première partie de la seconde guerre mondiale, principalement sur le front d’Afrique du Nord notamment lors de la bataille El Alamein en octobre 1942. Dès lors les exemplaires encore en activité seront convertis en chars d’éclairage.

Le développement du Tiger began in 1937, its first engagement taking place on the Eastern Front in Leningrad on August 29, 1942. The Tiger I then became the most powerful and armored German tank, but its high weight (almost double the other tanks) had repercussions on its mobility. Throughout his engagement he will experience mechanical problems that will reduce his impact on operations. It is a tank that, because of its complexity and cost, has only produced 1,350 copies, one might say.

The PZL P.11 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed and constructed during the early 1930s by Warsaw-based aircraft manufacturer PZL. Possessing an all-metal structure, metal-covering, and high-mounted gull wing, the type held the distinction of being widely considered to have briefly been the most advanced fighter aircraft of its kind in the world. The design of the P.11 commenced during the late 1920s, initially designated as the P.1. The primary individual responsible for its development was Polish aeronautical engineer Zygmunt Puławski, who has been attributed as having designed many of its innovative features. While the majority of the world’s forces were still using biplanes, the P.1 used a high-mounted and aerodynamically clean gull wing, which provided the pilot with a superior field of view. During September 1929, the first prototype conducted its maiden flight. The design quickly drew international attention; the general layout became commonly known as the “Polish wing” or “Puławski wing”.
