Meng Model 1:35 - D9R Armoured Bulldozer - Plastic model kit #SS-002
Designed and manufactured by Caterpillar Inc., the D9 bulldozer is equipped with a large blade and a rear ripper attachment, and weighs 49 tons. Due to its size and reliability, it has become one of the most popular track-type tractors in the world. The Caterpillar does not manufacture a military version of the D9, but the bulldozer has still been used in military operations, for instance during the Vietnam War the US Army used D9's to clear forests.
The Israeli Defense Forces acquired a number of these bulldozers and modified them for military combat engineering use. The Israeli Armoured bulldozer D9R is used by the IDF Combat Engineering Corps for combat engineering and counter-terrorism operations. Currently about 100 D9R armoured bulldozers are in service with Israel. In 2003 US Army and Marine Corps acquired a total of 14 D9R armored bulldozers from the IDF for deployment in Iraq.

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 Book - Dioramas FAQ 1.3 Extension

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.
