Together with the Spitfire, the Hawker orkan var en av de representative RAF-krigerne under andre verdenskrig. Dette lavvingede monoplanet med bredsporet uttrekkbart landingsunderstell og åtte 7,7 mm maskingevær hadde velprøvde dobbeltplanfunksjoner som en rørformet ramme. Selv om Hurricanes ble utkonkurrert av Luftwaffes mer avanserte Messerschmitt Bf 109E, så slaget om Storbritannia i juli 1940 at Spitfires eskorterte Bf109 mens Hurricanes gikk etter bombeflyene. Som et resultat av fornuftig enhetsledelse og pilottapperhet påførte RAF Luftwaffe store tap og var til slutt i stand til å hevde en hardt tilkjempet seier. Denne Tamiya-spesialutgivelsen består av to produsentprodukter for å gi modellbyggere tilgang til ett eksklusivt sett.

Russisk tung tank JS-2 1944

Turret and hull feature a realistic cast metal surface texture. The assembly-type tracks offer easy assembly and feature realistic sag effect. Includes 1 commander figure positioned in the cupola. Comes with 2 kinds of markings.

The Russian Heavy Tank JS-2 was built to counter the German Tiger I. The JS-2, which was put into production in December 1943 during the latter half of WWII, had a long powerful 122mm gun and superior armor. From August, 1944 the hatch on the front glacis was deleted, which greatly improved its frontal protection. The JS-2 was produced in the Chelyabinsk Kirov factory (ChKZ), and they proved to be effective as “breakthrough” tanks as well as combating German armor. The Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit faithfully captures the details of this iconic World War II machine.

Panzerkampfwagen 35(t)

Dette er en begrenset utgave av den tyske Panzerkampfwagen 35t i skala 1/35

Riveted construction and bogie-type suspension reproduced. Tracks feature one-piece straight sections for ease of assembly. Includes parts for MG37(t) machine guns, notek light, tools, and 12 early-type jerry cans. Commander figure may be assembled with a beret, side cap, or officer’s cap. 3 marking options included to depict tanks which saw action in Poland, France, and Russia. Tank parts are product of CMK.

Following Germany’s annexation of Czechoslovakia, the German army modified various Czech-made military hardware and pressed them into service. Among these was the LTvz.35 light tank built by Skoda, which was re-designated as the Pz.Kpfw.35(t). With an armament of one 37mm main gun and two 7.92mm machine guns and a 120hp liquid-cooled gasoline engine enabling a maximum speed of 34km/h, this light tank’s capabilities were on par with the German army’s Panzer III medium tanks. At the start of WWII, the 6th Panzer Division was equipped with about 200 of these tanks and they were used during the invasions of Poland and France, as well as the early stages of the invasion of Russia.

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Yorktown

1/700 scale plastic assembly kit of the Yorktown (CV-5) as she appeared during the Battle of Midway. Hanger doors may be depicted in open or closed position. Elevator at the stern may be depicted in up or down position. Comes with parts to depict F4F Wildcats, Douglas SBD-3 Dauntlesses, and Douglas TBD-1 Devastators.

Den USS Yorktown was completed in September 1937 as the first ship of her namesake-class and the U.S. Navy’s sixth aircraft carrier. When the Pacific War broke out, she became the flagship of Task Force 17 under the command of Rear Admiral Frank J. Fletcher and conducted a number of operations around the Pacific. During the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, she helped thwart the Japanese Navy’s advance on New Guinea despite suffering severe damage. Subsequently, at the Battle of Midway, the Yorktown and her sister ships USS Enterprise and USS Hornet defeated the Japanese Mobile Fleet, but the Yorktown herself suffered severe damage by torpedo and bomb hits from the aircraft of the Japanese carrier Hiryu. She was finally sunk by torpedoes from the Japanese submarine I-168. The Tamiya 1/700 scale model is a precise replica assembly kit of this iconic carrier during WWII.

1/350 scale plastic assembly kit of the Chikuma before she was refitted with additional AA guns, radar, and air defense command center. Model may be assembled as a full hull model mounted on a display stand or a waterline model. The use of small screws enables secure attachment of the hull and deck. Highly detailed main gun turrets.

Photo-etched parts such as aircraft trolleys, catapult rails, and mast braces included. Anchor chains and propeller shafts are made with metal parts. Floatplanes included and come with display stands. Kit includes a Reference Booklet which provides background information for the Chikuma as well as a full color Painting Guide.

Chikuma was the last heavy cruiser the Imperial Japanese Navy constructed during WWII and was completed in May 1939 as the second ship of the Tone-class. Her four twin 20.3cm guns were located at the bow to enable unhindered operation of up to 6 floatplanes at the stern. Her design also enabled a top speed of 35 knots and a long range. She was assigned to the Carrier Mobile Fleet with her sister ship Tone. During the Pearl Harbor Attack in December 1941, her floatplanes carried out pre-attack reconnaissance over the Pearl Harbor, which greatly contributed to the IJN’s success of the operation. She was also active during the Battle of Midway and the Solomon Islands campaign. During the Battle of the Leyte Gulf in October 1944, she was the flagship of Admiral Kurita’s fleet and contributed to the sinking of the USS Gambier Bay but she was in turn damaged by torpedoes and scuttled off the coast of Samar Island.

Den Avro Lancaster var en av RAFs viktigste tunge bombefly under andre verdenskrig. Blant de mange variantene var Mk.III "Dambuster" og Mk.I "Grand Slam Bomber" mest kjent og den mest berømte. "Dambuster" ble modifisert til å angripe dammer i Tyskland. Den var utstyrt med spesielle hoppende bomber som ville hoppe over vannet til damveggen og eksplodere under vannoverflaten for å påføre strukturelle skader. "Grand Slam Bomber" ble designet for å bære 10 tonn Grand Slam jordskjelv bombe og dens bombe bay dører og dorsal maskingevær ble fjernet for å redusere vekten for å gjøre det. Disse Lancaster har brukt Grand Slam på så viktige mål som ubåtbaser og rakettproduksjonssteder. Tamiya-modellen fanger trofast alle detaljene i dette historiske og berømte andre verdenskrigsflyet i 1/48 skala

Parts for 100kg and 250kg bombs included. 3 kinds of rocket launcher parts included, Comes with 3 decal marking options.

Den Ilyushin Il-2 var et av de mest betydningsfulle bakkeangrepsflyene under andre verdenskrig. Den inneholdt en solid monocoque-konstruksjon og utmerket panserbeskyttelse for å gjøre den perfekt for bakkeangrepsoperasjoner. Det ble opprinnelig tenkt som et toseters design, men på grunn av vektproblemer ble det redesignet som et lettere enseters fly i 1940. Da produksjonen startet i 1941, ble flyet betegnet som Il-2. Store tap av enseters fly under kamp tvang til å legge til en bakre skytterstilling i 1943. Senere varianter inneholdt forbedringer som feide ytre vinger for bedre håndtering. Il-2 bidro sterkt til den endelige russiske seieren over Nazi-Tyskland. Josef Stalin selv bemerket at flyet var like viktig for den russiske hæren som luft og brød.
