Meng Model 1:35 - German Panzerhaubitze 2000 Self-Propelled Howitzer with add-on armour - Plastic model kit #TS-019
The Panzerhaubitze 2000, shortened to PzH 2000, is a German 155 mm self-propelled howitzer. It was developed by the KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH together with the Rheinmetall AG for the needs of the German military. The production was launched in 1998 and continues to the present.
The PzH 2000 is considered one of the most powerful artillery pieces used in the 21st century. It is known for its remarkably high fire range - the howitzer can unload 3 shells in 9 seconds and 10 shells in 56 seconds. The PzH 2000 is also equipped with the MRSI system (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact) which allows it to hit the target with several shells at a time. The 155 mm L52 artillery gun is complemented by a MG3 7.62 mm machine gun. The top speed is 67 km/h.
The Panzerhaubitze 2000 was widely used by the Dutch and German troops during the War in Afghanistan. Today it is in service with the armies of Italy, the Netherlands, Greece and other countries-members of NATO.

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.
