Pz.Kpfw.IV mit Panther F Turret

Een model van het merk Dragon Modellen de kit : Pz.Kpfw.IV mit Panther F Torentje – DML 6824

This 1/35 scale plastic kit represents in plastic the fruition of that project’s ambition. The highly detailed kit is closely based on Dragon’s leading model of the Panzer IV, and of course it features an appropriately rendered Panther Ausf.F turret. In fact, to accommodate the new turret, the upper hull has been completely retooled with the correct details. The unique-looking tank also wears a set of detailed side skirts. While the design was destined to be confined to history as yet another paper panzer, this kit offers modelers the chance to build and enjoy something of an oddity!

Duits Slagschip Bismarck

Based on the Bayern class of battleships from WWI, the Bismarck was the pinnacle of German heavy ship development- and probably the best known German ship of World War II. Laid down in 1936, Bismarck was launched in February 1939 and its outfitting proceeded quickly in the shadow of impending war. Even so, Bismarck missed the beginning of the war and the great offensive effort of the Kriegsmarine (KM) during the invasion of Norway. Commissioned in August 1940, Bismarck departed swiftly for sea trials which lasted until the end of the year. With Bismarck’s sister ship, Tirpitz, nearing completion, a grand sortie of all the KM heavy units was planned for 1941, with the goal of disrupting British convoys in the Atlantic an expansion on the previous Operation Berlin. However, it was quickly found that the Tirpitz would be delayed and other ships were unavailable. As a result, the Bismarck departed on 19 May, 1941, for its only combat sortie escorted only by a heavy cruiser, the Prinz Eugen.

Pz. Kpfw. V Panther

THE BOX CONTAIN: 1 MODEL KIT – 1 LIQUID CEMENT – 1 TANK GUIDE – 1 POSTER (42×59,4cm) – WORLD oF TANKS DECALS – 3 INVITE CODES – 1 BONUS CODE

De Panther was produced as a reaction to the tanks encountered by German forces during Operation Barbarossa. Having considered Soviet tank designs to be obsolete, German tank crews were stunned when they came up against concepts like sloped armour on the T-34 and the sheer size and brutality of the KV-1. The Panther, designed as a kind of multi-purpose tank, took Soviet innovations and supersized them. Entering the battlefield from 1943 and weighing in at around 45 tonnes, this was a huge machine. It was technologically ambitious, seeking to combine armouring with speed and firepower. It mounted one of the best guns of the war – the dependable 7,5 cm Kw.K 42 L/70. However, in needing the tank on the field as quickly as possible, many shortcuts were taken in the manufacture and testing of the Panther. Reliability problems and mechanical failures became the bane of its crews. It was an over-engineered design that left no room for cutting corners. Roughly 6000 Panthers were made, but arrived too late to make a difference. It cannot be denied that if it had arrived earlier, and with all its high-tech features operational, the path of history would have deviated.

Een model van het merk Zvezda de kit: SOVIET DIVE BOMBER PE-2 – Zvezda 4809.

Petlyakov Pe-2, bijgenaamd Peshka, was de meest talrijke Sovjet-bommenwerper van de 2e Wereldoorlog - vanaf 1943 gebruikten de Sovjet-luchtmachten meer Pe-2's dan alle andere bommenwerpers samen. Pe-2 nam deel aan bijna elke campagne van het Rode Leger en werd gebruikt voor grondaanvalsmissies.

Album van 67 foto's walk-around van een «Curtiss XF15C-1»

Fotogalerij van een Curtiss XF15C-1, The Curtiss XF15C-1 was a mixed-propulsion fighter prototype of the 1940s. The first flight of the first prototype was on 27 February 1945, without the turbojet installed. When this was completed in April of the same year, the aircraft flew several mixed-power trials, however on May 8 it crashed on a landing approach. The second prototype flew for the first time on 9 July, again in 1945, and was soon followed by a third prototype. Both aircraft showed promise, however by October 1946 the Navy had lost interest in the mixed-power concept and cancelled further development.

Een kit over de Pz.Kpfw. 35(t)

Een kit van het merk Bronco de kit: "Pz.Kpfw. 35(t) – Bronco CB35065".

De Skoda Lt Vz35 was a light tank developed for the Czech army in the mid-1930’s. In 1934 pilot tanks were requested from Skoda and CKD, both tanks were ready for testing in mid-1935. The Skoda design won the contest and was put into production by both companies in 1936. The Skoda Lt Vz35 weighed 10.5 tons and had a 3-man crew. Armour protection was a maximum of 25mm and the tank was armed with a 37mm anti-tank gun and 7.92mm co-axial machine gun. By the end of 1936 orders had been placed for 298 tanks for the Czech army. In addition export orders were placed by Romania, Afghanistan and Bulgaria for a further 136 tanks. On the conquest of Czechoslovakia by the Germans in March 1938, the Skoda Lt Vz35 becameknown as the Panzerkampfwagen 35(t) and was pressed into service with the German army. It saw action in Poland, France and Russia. Most were issued to the 1st Light Panzer Division (Poland and France) and the 6th Panzer Division in Russia. The tank was retired in early 1942, with 26 tanks sold to Romania, some hulls were retained as tractors and carriers.

The kit consists of over 390+ parts : -the kit w/refined detail -multi-slide moulded lower hull and turret -photo-etched parts included

In 1948, the IS-7 zware tank was developed. Weighing 68 metric tons, thickly armoured and armed with a 130 mm C-70 gun, it was the largest tank ever built by the USSR. Although it was in many ways an innovative design, it was never accepted for mass production due to its cumbersome size and the very impractical layout of its fighting compartment.

FRANSE SUPER ZWARE TANK CHAR 2C

KIT INFO : This 1/35 scale Franse Super Zware Tank Char 2C plastic model kit precisely replicates the features of the first riveted super heavy multi-turret tank designed during WWI. Lights are provided with clear parts. All grilles of the engine compartment are represented in PE parts. Cement-free workable tracks are easy to assemble. Paint options are offered for three vehicles (No.90/93/97). Total length: 293.2mm Width: 85.2mm

Char 2C was een Franse superzware tank ontworpen in de laatste fase van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Het is nog steeds de grootste tank die ooit ter wereld in productie is genomen. Het werd ontwikkeld door een Franse scheepswerf, Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée (FCM), gevestigd in de buurt van Toulon. Het had een bemanning van 12. De belangrijkste bewapening was een 75 mm kanon en de hulpbewapening was vier 8 mm machinegeweren. Het was 10,27 m lang en 3 m breed met een geladen gewicht van 69 ton. Hij werd aangedreven door twee Duitse Maybach-motoren van 250 pk via elektrische transmissie. Hij kon rijden met een snelheid van 12-15 km/u. De bepantsering - 45 mm aan de voorkant en 22 mm aan de zijkanten - was bestand tegen de aanval van antitankwapens in de jaren 1920 en 1930. Het meest interessante is dat de 10 Char 2C's die ooit zijn geproduceerd, zijn vernoemd naar de oude regio's van Frankrijk.
