Meng Model 1:35 - French AUF1 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer - Plastic model kit #TS-004
The French GCT 155mm is a self-propelled howitzer used by the armies of France and Saudi Arabia. It was designed to replace the French Army's Mk F3 155mm, and the first production version - the AUF1 - was introduced in 1977. The two major improvements of the GCT 155mm over the Mk F3 155mm are the nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) protection for the crew and the ability to carry all four crew members (the Mk F3 could only carry two, and the other two had to be transported in support vehicles).
The GCT 155mm AUF1 is equipped with a 155mm 39-caliber gun with an auto-loading system. Its rate of fire is 8 rounds per minute, and a sustained rate of fire is 6 rounds per minute. It also has a roof-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft gun. About 400 AUF1's have been produced, and 70 have been upgraded to the AUF2 variant. The GCT 155mm saw combat with the Iraqi Army in the Iran–Iraq War.

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.
