Naast Dragon's eerder uitgebrachte 1/35 schaal plastic kit van een Desert Raider 4×4 Truck is deze tweede kit met een andere wapenconfiguratie! De beroemde Special Air Service (SAS) van het Britse leger werd in juli 1941 opgericht door David Stirling. Het was een commandomacht die was ontworpen om diep achter de vijandelijke linies te opereren, iets wat het zeer succesvol deed. Speciaal aangepaste voertuigen werden gebruikt in Noord-Afrika, waaronder de beroemde 4×4 1/4-ton truck, hoewel zwaar aangepast voor zijn rol achter de lijnen. Het voertuig begon te verschijnen in juli 1942. Ze werden over het algemeen gestript om gewicht te besparen en voor operaties in het hete klimaat werd de grill verwijderd en een watercondensor gemonteerd. Wapens zoals Lewis en Vickers K machinegeweren werden gemonteerd voor gebruik tegen grond- of luchtdoelen.

Russian T-62 ERA (Mod.1962)

Een model van het merk Trumpeter de kit: Russian T-62 ERA (Mod.1962) – Trumpeter 01555.

The kit consists of over 680 parts : -the kit w/refined detail -multi-slide moulded lower hull & turret -217 individual tracks links -photo-etched parts included

The T-62 originally was conceived as a companion weapon to the T-55.Being Essentially a T55 up gunned with the2A20 115mm cannon. Both the T-55 and the T-62 Used the same wheels, track, engine, transmission, hatches and other fittings. The primary differences between the two vehicles were the T-62’s lengthened hull and new turret design. The new UT-5 can-non could fire its BR-5 APFSDS steel round through approximately 300mm of armor at a range of 1000 meters. This was adequate to deal with the then perceived threat of such NATO tanks as the American M-48 and later models of the British Centurion. The T-62 was meant to add long range firing capability to Soviet tank regiments being placed alongside T-55s, but in the later years of its deployment it fulfilled much the same role as the T-55. Despite being introduced in 1960, the improved performance of its successors, the T-72, the T-62 still sees service today in many of the world’s army the Arab nations being the largest consumers outside the Warsaw pact. Egypt, Iraq, and Syria have been notable users of the T-62, Israel has acquired a quantity of T-62s in clashes with its neighbors and has rebuilt them to IDF standards.

Toen Duitsland in de jaren 1930 probeerde zich te herbewapenen in de aanloop naar de Tweede Wereldoorlog, vertrouwde de militaire leiding sterk op de Pz.Kpfw.I. Er werden ongeveer 1.493 exemplaren van alle typen gebouwd en deze lichte tanks dienden in vroege campagnes, hoewel ze slechts trainingsplatforms moesten zijn. De massaproductie van de Ausf.A begon in 1934, terwijl de verbeterde Ausf.B met een andere motor in augustus 1935 verscheen. De Ausf.B werd verlengd en had vijf wielen per zijde. De Panzer I was dun gepantserd met slechts 13mm staal op zijn dikste punt. Het opereerde met een bemanning van twee - de commandant / schutter en chauffeur. Een ongebruikelijke versie van deze kleine tank was de Abwurfvorrichtung, letterlijk een Demolition Charge Layer. Deze aangepaste tanks werden meestal gevonden in het panzer-pionier-bataillon van pantserdivisies in 1940, op tijd voor de campagne in West-Europa. De conversie bestond uit een apparaat dat op het achterdek was gemonteerd en dat een explosieve lading van 50 kg op of tegen een veldversterking kon laten zakken voordat deze vervolgens tot ontploffing werd gebracht.

Album van 33 foto's walk-around van een Italiaanse 'Human Torpedo'

Tweemansvaartuig ontworpen om beschermde havens binnen te dringen en vijandelijke scheepvaart te verslaan.

De Siluro a lenta Corsa (SLC) or slow course torpedo, also know as the Maiale or Pig, was designed by the Italians in the late 1930s using the knowledge they had gained while pionnering midget submarines and special assault craft during the First World War. It was powered by an electric motor and had a charge-head containing 550lb (250Kg) on TNT. The early SLC served as a model for the British ‘Chariot’. Between 1941 and the Italian armistice of 1943 ‘human torpedos’ scored a number of successes against Aliied shipping. Their most famous attack came in 1941 in Alexandria harbour when three of them seriously damaged the British battleships Valiant and Queen Elizabeth. This is on of the later streamlined craft which fell into British hands after the occupation of Genoa in April 1945.

B-57G Night Hawk

De Martin B-57 Canberra was a twin jet engine tactical bomber that has equipped the United States Air Force from the mid of 50s. Its robust aerodynamic design and its great reliability made it ideal for the role of tactical bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. It was equipped with two Wright J65 turbojet engine and it was able to reach 960 km / h. Thanks to its bomb bay and its four external hardpoints it was able to carry an offensive load of 3,300 Kg. During its long operating activities, several versions had been developed. In particular the B-57G, derived from the B-57B, was developed as night intruder. Easily recognizable by the added “radome”, the B-57G played an important role during the Vietnam War to support combats along the Ho Chi Minh trail. It was equipped with a new radar, a more modern avionics and, in particular, a variety of sensors able of dropping laser guided bombs.

The subject of Dragon’s latest 1/72 scale plastic kit is a delightful model of the American-designed Sikorsky SH-3G Sea King helicopter. Originally, the twin-engine SH-3 Sea King was used primarily in the role of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) by the US Navy (USN). It was also the first amphibious helicopter in the world and it entered USN service in 1961. Various modifications occurred in its lifespan, with a total of 105 SH-3A and SH-3D craft being converted into the versatile SH-3G. The latter was a cargo, utility and transport helicopter used by the USN. In the 1990s the SH-3 Sea King was replaced by the SH-60 Seahawk in the USN. This 1/72 scale Dragon plastic model is well designed and cleverly engineered to induce maximum modeling enjoyment. The fuselage is correctly proportioned and it’s furnished with a full level of detail both inside and outside. It has a new part to plug the gap where the sonar was originally located. The foldable rotor blades are made to true scale thickness too. With appropriate Cartograf decal markings for several USN squadrons available, this SH-3G is ready to lift off in service of the navy!
