Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet Object 268 Heavy Tank Prototype - Plastic model kit #05544
The Object 268 (Obiekt 268) was a Soviet tank destroyer manufactured at the Kirov Plant, Leningrad, in 1956. Its development was led by Joseph Kotin. The chassis of the Object 269 was designed on the basis of the T-10 heavy tank. The Object 268 was equipped with 152 mm M-64 cannon which ensured excellent penetration, high shooting accuracy and fast rate of fire. The tank destroyer successfully passed the tests, however it was never actually used on the battlefield because it lacked enough gun power to fight against newly-designed English Chieftain and American M60 Patton battle tanks.

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. Zaitsev became a celebrated figure during the war and later a Hero of the Soviet Union, and he remains lauded for his skills as a sniper.

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).
