Le Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Il fu un caccia monomotore, monoposto, tutto metallo e aereo da attacco al suolo che volò per la prima volta nel 1938. Il progetto del P-40 fu una modifica del precedente Curtiss P-36 Hawk che ridusse i tempi di sviluppo e permise un rapido ingresso nella produzione e nel servizio operativo. Il Warhawk fu utilizzato dalle forze aeree di 28 nazioni, incluse quelle della maggior parte delle potenze alleate durante la seconda guerra mondiale, e rimase in servizio in prima linea fino alla fine della guerra. È stato il terzo caccia americano più prodotto, dopo il P-51 e il P-47; nel novembre 1944, quando la produzione del P-40 cessò, ne furono costruiti 13.738, tutti nei principali stabilimenti di produzione della Curtiss-Wright Corporation a Buffalo, New York.

Sd.Kfz.261 Kleine Panzerfunkwagen

Un nuovo modello del marchio Modello drago il kit : Sd.Kfz.261 Kleine Panzerfunkwagen – DML 7447

Caratteristiche : -Intricate Sd.Kfz.261 newly produced -Preformed frame and mast antennas -Tow hook molded on both front and rear of the vehicle -Finely molded one-piece hull w/fine detail -Intricate external stowage included -Chassis presented in full detail -Delicate wheels w/authentic tire tread pattern -Hull-top cover assembled from separate parts -Spare wheels included -Finely molded jerry can included

Dragon has been constantly expanding its popular 1/72 scale range of model Leichter Panzerspahwagen light reconnaissance vehicles. An Sd.Kfz.260 was released a short time ago, and now Dragon is offering yet another interesting variant. This time it is an Sd.Kfz.261. The Sd.Kfz.260 and 261 were similar in that they were both designed for signals units, with a total of 493 produced from November 1940 through till April 1943. They were designed specifically as armored (but unarmed) radio communication vehicles. The Sd.Kfz.261 was fitted with a FuG.12 long-range radio set connected to a frame antenna and also a telescopic antenna. In due course the Sd.Kfz.260/261 family was replaced by halftrack radio vehicles. Dragon’s 1/72 scale model makes use of the newly tooled Sd.Kfz.260. It has brand new parts such as the frame antenna and the exquisitely produced telescopic antenna mounted on the left side of the hull. These radio components provide the Sd.Kfz.261 with a unique silhouette and cause it to really stand out from other members of the Leichter Panzerspahwagen family. The hull-top opening is made of plastic, this material being much easier to work with than photo-etched parts. After painting in appropriate colors, modelers can apply Cartograf high-quality decals to finish off their distinctive-looking Sd.Kfz.261!

BMD-1 – Ace Models 72114

Un modello del marchio Modelli ace il kit: BMD-1 – Ace Models 72114.

BMD-1. -Boevaya Mashina Desanta ( Airborne Combat Vehicle) – was designed as an airborne counterpart of the army’s best armored infantry vehicle, the BMP-1. Both vehicles shared the same armament system: a single-man turret with a 73mm Grom low-pressure gun and a launcher for 9M14M Maliutka anti-tank missile. Because the BMD was designed for airborne drop, it’s size and weight had to be considerably trimmed – combat loaded weight under 7 tons (over 13 for BMP).

If. 5 horse drawn wagon (Type 36) with Zwillingslafette 36.

The Zwillingslafette 36 was in the early war time mostly wagon mounted and used as an air defense weapon for infantry units on the march. The wagon used was the so called Einachshänger – the If. 5 MG wagon. It was a small trailer used for that specific purpose. It could be either horse drawn or drawn by a small truck. The wagon could be braced by jacks when used in a static air defense role or mounted on the bed of small trucks or on cars.
