Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (Porsche Turret) - Plastic model kit #TS-037
The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B or the Tiger II 'King Tiger' was a WWII German heavy tank. The tank entered production late in the war although its development started as early as 1937-1939 with design contracts given to Henschel and Porsche. The prototypes built by these companies differed in a number of features including the hull design, the transmission and suspension.
The Porsche designs had a rear-mounted turret and a mid-mounted engine. The suspension on this version was the same as on the Elefant and components of this suspension were later used on a few Jagdtiger tank destroyers. Overall Porsche's design was seen as less conventional and more difficult to produce, and Henschel won the contract.
Production versions of the Tiger II used two different turrets. The initial turret is often called the "Porsche" turret due to the misconception that it was the turret used on the Porsche prototype, as opposed to the more common "production" or "Henschel" turret. In fact both prototypes used the initial Krupp design.
The early turret (the so called "Porsche" turret) had steeply sloped sides, a rounded front and a curved bulge on the left side which proved to be difficult to manufacture. Fifty early Tiger II's used this turret mounted to the Henschel's hull until it was simplified to have less steeply sloped sides and a thicker flat face.

Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Zimmerit Decal - Plastic model kit #SPS-039
Zimmerit was used on WWII German AFVs since 1943 to cover the metal armour of the vehicle to prevent magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to it. Zimmerit had the consistency of a thick paste or putty that after application was patterned and then hardened with a blow torch. This process usually happened at the factory and the patterns could vary depending on where the vehicle was produced. In the late 1944 Zimmerit was discontinued from application due to concerns that it could catch fire.
These water slide decals have a 3D printed texture to replicate Zimmerit applied to the early Kingtigers. This set is perfect for the Kingtiger Sd.Kfz.182 (Henschel Turret) kit from Meng.

Meng Model 1:35 - Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #TS-018
With the start of the Cold War in the late 1940's the Soviets made a decision to bring into development the IS series of heavy tanks (IS - "Iosif Stalin", Russian for "Joseph Stalin"). Based on the IS-3 model, the first prototypes were designated IS-8 and IS-9. In 1952 the new vehicle was put into production under the name IS-10, however with the beginning of the de-Stalinization period following Stalin's death in 1953 it was renamed the T-10.
The T-10 adopted many features of the earlier IS models, e.g. it was armed with an enhanced 122 mm gun M1931/37 from the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks. The main improvements of the T-10 consisted of a larger turret mount, a better diesel engine, thicker armour and a hull extended to fit an engine cooling system. Also, the T-10 had seven pairs of road wheels unlike the IS-3 which had only six. In general, the T-10 showed similar performance as the IS-3, however it had more room for ammunition. In combat T-10 tanks were mainly used as a support to infantry troops and during breakthrough operations.
The T-10M was an upgraded version of the T-10 which entered production in 1957 at both the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant and the Kirov Plant. The major difference concerned the armament of the tank: the new M-62-TS gun was longer than the previous M1931/37 and featured a unique multi-slotted muzzle brake (a device that reduces recoil of the gun) as well as a fume extractor (a device on the gun barrel that prevents toxic gases from getting inside the vehicle's fighting compartment).
The development of more powerful engines, better suspension systems and light composite armour made it possible to increase tank firepower, armour protection and mobility. These developments allowed for replacing heavy tanks with lighter medium tanks. The T-10 was phased out in the 1960's and, along with the rest of the Soviet heavy tanks, replaced with the T-64, T-72, T-80 and other medium tanks.

Meng Model 1:35 - M1A1 Abrams TUSK Main Battle Tank - Plastic model kit #TS-032
The M1 Abrams is a modern U.S. third-generation main battle tank. It entered service in 1980 to replace the M60. The M1 is the principal main battle tank of the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps. It is also widely used by the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Iraq.
A modification of the first Abrams model, the M1A1 was introduced in 1986. It was equipped with a M256 120 mm smoothbore gun and a CBRN protection system. The tank first saw combat in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. About 2,000 units took part in the liberation of Kuwait and only 23 of them were totally destroyed. The M1A1 fire could reach the enemy's positions at the range of 2,500 metres. That range was deadly to Iraq's Soviet-era tanks, inferior to the M1A1. In fact, the Abrams tanks could damage Iraqi tanks before they approached close enough to open fire. In 1992 the M1A1 was upgraded to the M1A2 version.

In the beginning of 1943, Allied forces were preparing for severe resistance in the planned re-taking of Europe, with the Germans defending from strong fortified positions. As a result, a new class of vehicle was required and entered into development and production, they were called assault tanks. The concept prioritised maximum armour protection over mobility. 25 were ordered for production without prototypes being required but finally the order was reduced to 6 after the war had ended. This design was commissioned in 1943 and 18 variants were prepared by Nuffield Mechanisations and Aero Limited, progressively larger and heavier in concept they were aiming to be ready for the battlefield in September 1945.
Given the structure of the Tortoise it is technically a Self-propelled gun not a tank and had a crew of 7 - a commander, driver, and gunner, with two loaders for the 32-pounder gun and two machine gunners.
The Meng Model British A39 Tortoise Heavy Assault Tank is 293mm long and 111mm wide. The fixed casemate superstructure and weld seams of the fighting compartment make the kit nicely realistic. The 94mm long barrel gun can freely turn and the mantlet is accurate. The travel lock can lock the gun and the machine gun in the front ball mount can freely rotate. Hatches can be open or closed. The four bogies on either side each with two wheels and transverse torsion bar suspension system are faithfully reproduced.

The Leopard 1 is a main battle tank which was developed in West Germany and entered production in 1965. The project was commissioned by the Bundeswehr in order to replace the M47 and M48 Patton tanks, already outdated by that time. The project had started as a collaborative program between West Germany, France and Italy, however the partnership ended when the first prototypes were built - Italy and France decided to focus on their own technologies. The German model was designed by Porsche. In total, over 4,000 Leopard battle tanks have been produced, excluding prototypes and anti-aircraft vehicles.
By 1980, several modifications of the Leopard 1 had been issued including the Leopard 1A3 and the Leopard 1A4. The 1A3 version featured a welded turret which was much heavier than the turrets of its predecessors and also had better armour with a wedge-type gun mantlet. The commander's compartment was equipped with an improved TRP 2A independent sight. The 1A4 model was upgraded with a new computerised fire control system and a new sighting system, but in general it was quite similar to the Leopard 1A3.
Exported worldwide, the Leopard series saw action during the Bosnian War, the Kurdish–Turkish conflict and the War in Afghanistan. It still remains in use in a number of countries such as Brazil, Chile, Greece and Turkey.

Meng Model 1:35 - French FT-17 Light Tank (Cast Turret) - Plastic model kit #TS-008
The Renault FT, also known as the FT-17, was a French light tank of the late WWI period. Remarkable for its revolutionary design, the FT-17 played an invaluable role in the history of tank development. It was the first tank that featured a revolving turret. The FT-17 had a crew compartment at the front, an engine compartment in the rear, and main armament placed inside of the turret. This configuration became and remains the standard tank design making the FT-17 the first modern tank in the world.
The first FT-17 turrets were made of cast steel and fitted with Hotchkiss 8mm machine guns. However, later the turrets were also adapted to carry 37mm Puteaux small canons.
The FT-17 was mainly deployed by French troops at the late stages of WWI. After the end of the war the tank was exported to many countries including Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Iran and others.

Meng Model 1:35 - German A7V Tank (Krupp) - Plastic model kit #TS-017
The A7V was a German tank designed in 1916 in response to the first British tanks appearing during WWI on the Western Front. By 1918 twenty armoured vehicles were ready for use on the battlefield. Those were the only German tanks deployed in WWI. In contrast, France produced over 3,600 tanks and the British had over 2,500 units in service.
The dimensions of the A7V were 7.34m x 3m x 3.3m (L x W x H). The tank had steel plate armour, but as the steel was not hardened it could only protect against machine gun or rifle fire and was of little use against larger calibre ammunition. The armament included six MG 08 machine guns and a 5.7 cm Maxim-Nordenfelt cannon. Some of the cannons were trophies taken from British and Russian troops at the early stage of the war.
The A7V had little success in combat so the German General War Department intended to introduce new designs. However, the defeat of Germany and the Versailles Treaty disrupted those plans.

The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. Its official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger ("Bengal Tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied troops. The initial design of the Tiger II was developed in 1937 by the Henschel company. Another design was developed by Porsche in 1939, but it was declined due to higher production costs.
Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the sloped armour of the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.
The Tiger II first saw combat during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Fortunately for the Allies, German plants were severely disrupted by Allied bombing, so a relatively small number of Tiger II's were built. Mass production ran from 1944 to the end of the war and only 492 units were produced during that period.
The kit includes parts for the King Tiger Sd.Kfz.182 heavy tank with two different gun mantlets.

By 1980, several modifications of the Leopard 1 had been issued, however the series required further upgrade. The next version was the Leopard 1A5 equipped with the EMES 18 fire control system and highly effective night/bad-weather vision system. The turret was reconstructed in order to store equipment and ammunition into its rear. The tank was armed with new APFSDS (armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) rounds.
The Leopard 1A5 entered service in 1987. Similar upgrades were implemented on almost all Leopard units that were in use at that time, and today the Leopard 1A5 is considered the "standard" version of the series.
