Miniart 1:35 - SU-85 Mod. 1944 (Early Production) with Interior - Plastic Model Kit #35204
The SU-85 was a Soviet self-propelled anti-tank gun produced in mid-1943 for fighting against the new and more advanced German Tiger and Panther tanks. The newer German armour was too thick to be penetrated by the older Soviet tanks such as the T-34 and KV-1. The number "85" stands for the bore of its armament, 85 mm D-5S gun, which was modified from the 85 mm anti-aircraft gun by Fyodor Petrov and was strong enough to penetrate the Tiger I from 1000 m. The advantages of the SU-85 also included excellent mobility and a standard commander's cupola that ensured good visibility. Though successfully used in combat until the end of the war, the SU-85 was replaced by the SU-100 which proved to be more effective.
The kit contains 934 parts.

Highly detailed 1/16th or 120mm scale miniature, capturing the uniform and equipment of a WW2 Soviet Sniper. The kit comes with three head configuration options, fur hat with ear flaps known as the 'Ushanka', a head with helmet (2 parts) and a head with a cap known as the 'Pilotka'.
This is ideal for a diorama or bust depicting Soviet Snipers such as Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev. Between 10 October 1942 and 17 December 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad, he killed 225 enemy soldiers.

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).
