HobbyBoss 1:35 - M3A1 Scout Car 'White' Late Version - Plastic model kit #82452
Production of the U.S. 'White' M3A1 scout car (named after its manufacturer, the White Motor Company) started in 1940 with 20,918 vehicles built until 1944. Initially it was used by armoured and reconnaissance units, but it was better suited for road use than for cross-country terrain. During the war the M3A1 was not often used in the dangerous role of a scout vehicle. Trial versions included the M3A1E1 with a diesel engine, the M3A1E2 with an armored roof, and the M3A1E3 mounting a 37mm (1.46 in) gun on a rotating pedestal. By 1943 it became clear that the vehicle had poor off-road mobility and poor armament, and it was replaced with the M8 armoured car and similar M20 Utility Car in most of the US Army units. The M3 was supplied in large numbers under Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union and to Free French forces. After the war, vehicles were exported to Israel and other countries, where they served for many years.

1:35 - Major Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler - Resin kit
Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler was a Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Marines. In 1942, a 28-year-old Hasler planned and led Operation Frankton. The operation was a commando raid on Axis shipping in the French port of Bordeaux occupied by the Germans. The mission was to attach mines to the hulls of German cargo ships. Three of the five canoes were lost on the way to the port. The surviving crewmen including Hasler reached the port successfully, placed the mines and managed to drown four cargo ships. They then walked 100 miles to a French village where they met with members of the Resistance and started their journey back to England through Spain and Gibraltar. For this operation Hasler was awarded the Distinguished Service Order by King George VI.
One kayak was damaged while being deployed from the submarine, and it and its crew therefore could not take part in the mission. Only two of the 10 men who launched from the submarine survived the raid: Hasler, and his number two in the kayak, Bill Sparks. Of the other eight, six were executed by the Germans and two died from hypothermia.
This product is available in two scales, 1:35 and 1:24 and was painstakingly designed from scratch as a digital model.
The kit includes: 2 x miniatures (Blondie Hasler and Bill Sparks) in their folding Cockle Canoe named 'Catfish' made by Campaign Models (UK).

Ak Interactive FAQ Dioramas 1.3 Extension: Storytelling, Composition And Planning Guide Book 8150
This annex 1.3 complements the Dioramas FAQ series and explores every aspect of diorama design and planning. What makes a good story and how can you get it across with models? Where can you find a good idea and how can you develop that idea into a successful project? How can you compose a diorama so that it tells its story best and looks good at the same time? How can you use colours, figures, accessories, scenery and bases effectively in your composition? How do you turn a historical photograph into a three dimensional scene? How do you plan a box diorama? This seemingly theoretical subject is treated in the most practical way, making it accessible and useful for every modeller.
All topics are clearly explained with concrete examples, drawings, photographs and step-by-step guides.
528 illustrations contain over 300 AFV, aircraft, ship, car, SF and figure models and dioramas by Marijn Van Gils, one of the world’s best modellers.
