Willys Jeep och Trailer

En modell av varumärket Airfix satsen : Willys Jeep and Trailer – Airfix A01322.

The ultimate utilty vehicle in WWII was the Willys Jeep. Due to the huge demand Ford was contracted to produce them as well. The Ford car was then designated GPW, with the “W” referring to the “Willys” licensed design. During World War II, Willys produced 363,000 Jeeps and Ford some 280,000. Approximately 51,000 were exported to the U.S.S.R. under the Lend-Lease program. A top speed of 65mph and a lightweight construction enabled it to operate in many locations unsuited to other vehicles.

The Sherman Firefly was a WWII British variant of the American Sherman tank, fitted with the powerful British 17 pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon.

It soon became highly valued as the only British tank capable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it faced in Normandy at standard combat ranges. The Forces of Valor® replica is of a U.K. Sherman Firefly as seen in Normandy in 1944.

HMS Drottning Elizabeth was the name ship of the Queen Elizabeth class of battleships. She was the most powerful battleship in the British fleet when completed, and continued to provide valuable service with the Royal Navy during the Second World War, where she served as the flagship of Admiral Andrew Cunningham in the Mediterranean. She was built with sixteen 6in guns. However, the four guns below the quarterdeck proved to be useless and were replaced by two guns above the midships battery, a layout that was copied on the rest of the class.

Pansarvärnsvapen

Den Pak 43 Panzerabwehrkanone 43) var en tysk 88 mm pansarvärnskanon utvecklad av Krupp i konkurrens med Rheinmetall 8,8 cm Flak 41 luftvärnskanon och användes under andra världskriget. Pak 43 var den mest kraftfulla pansarvärnskanonen i Wehrmacht som såg service i betydande antal, och tjänstgjorde också i modifierad form som huvudpistol på Tiger II-tanken och Elefant, Jagdpanther och Nashorn tankförstörare. Den förbättrade 8,8 cm rundan hade en praktiskt taget platt bana ut till 1000 meter och kunde frontalt penetrera alla allierade stridsvagnar på långa avstånd, upp till och ibland över 2000-2500 yards (begränsad endast av noggrannheten hos skal och optik). Även de sovjetiska IS-seriens stridsvagnar och tankförstörare (de tyngst bepansrade allierade fordonen som användes under andra världskriget) var sårbara för och överträffade av Pak 43.

USS SARATOGA CV-3

En modell av varumärket Trumpeter Satsen: USS SARATOGA CV-3 – Trumpeter 05607.

Kitet består av över 566st : Either waterline version or full hull version can be selected.

USS SARATOGA CV-3 Längd totalt: 270,7m Bredd: 32,3m Deplacement: 33000 t Saratoga, en av de första snabba hangarfartygen i USA:s flotta, kölsträcktes den 25 september 1920 av New York Shipbuilding Co. och togs i tjänst den 16 november 1927. När japanerna slog Pearl Harbor den 7 december 1941 var Saratoga precis på väg in i San Diego efter en tillfällig torrdockning i Bremerton. Hon kom hastigt igång följande dag som kärnan i en tredje bärkraft. Den 11 januari 1942 träffades hon av en djupgående torped som avfyrades av den japanska ubåten. Som flaggskepp för Real Admiral F. J. Fletcher öppnade Saratoga Guadalcanal-anfallet tidigt den 7 augusti 1942 när hon vände sig mot vinden för att starta flygplan. Hon gav luftskydd för landningarna under de kommande två dagarna och deltog i alla operationer i Guadalcanal. Saratoga var överflödig för efterkrigstidens krav, och hon tilldelades Operation "Crossroads" vid Bikini-atollen för att testa atombombens effekt på marinfartyg. Hon ströks från marinlistan den 15 augusti 1946. Saratoga fick sju stridsstjärnor för sin tjänst under andra världskriget.
