£25.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet 122mm Howitzer D-30 (Late version) - Plastic model kit #02329
The Soviet 122mm Howitzer D-30 entered service in the 1960s. It was a relatively light and handy weapon, but heavy enough for sustained long range fire in the field. The D-30 had a maximum range of 15.4 kilometers, or over 21 km using RAP ammunition. With its striking three-leg stabilising system the D-30 could be rapidly traversed through 360 degrees.
The D-30 howitzer is no longer manufactured in the former Soviet Union nations, but is still produced internationally and is in service in more than 60 countries' armed forces.
The 2A18 gun is the primary weapon of the 2S1 self-propelled howitzer. There are also Egyptian, Chinese, and Syrian self-propelled variants and conversions. The Syrian conversion uses the hull of a T-34 tank.

Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet ML-20 152mm Howitzer Mod 1937 - Plastic model kit #02323
The Soviet 152mm howitzer-gun ML-20 (Model 1937) was an upgrade of the 152mm gun M1910/34. This gun was produced from 1937 to 1946. As a howitzer-gun, the ML-20 could be used both as a howitzer and as a gun. To achieve this, the model had a wide range of elevation angles and used separate loading with 13 different propellant loads. The ML-20 had both telescopic and panoramic sights. The ML-20 first saw combat in the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. It also participated in the Winter War and proceeded to be used throughout the Second World War. The ML-20 was used during WWII by the Soviet Army, and some of the guns were captured by the Germans and the Finnish Army. The ML-20 was also used after the end of World War II in a number of conflicts due to its excellent characteristics.

Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet KV-8S Heavy Tank
£33.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - Soviet KV-8S Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #01572
The Soviet KV tanks were heavy tanks used by the Red Army during the Second World War. KV stood for Kliment Voroshilov, the Soviet politician and defense commissar. The KV tanks were famous for their heavy armour protection. The KV-1 was invulnerable to most German weapons except the 8.8cm Flak gun, until the Germans developed more effective guns. The KV-1 outclassed the French Char B1, which was the only other heavy tank in service at that time.
During the Winter War, the KV's proved to be highly resistant to Finnish anti-tank weapons, and the first order of 50 KV's was placed. However, the KV tank had serious flaws: it was difficult to steer, the transmission was unreliable, and the ergonomics were poor. These flaws were rectified with the introduction of the KV-1S. The KV-1S was lighter and had thinner armour and a smaller lower turret.
The KV-8S was based on the KV-1S and had an ATO-42 flamethrower (improved version of the ATO-41 used in the KV-1 and KV-8). However, after a few years it turned out that the expensive KV tanks could be replaced by the T-34 medium tanks which had a better performance. The KV series became a base for the development of the IS tanks (IS - Josif Stalin).

Trumpeter 1:35 German Neubaufahrzeug Rheinmetall Tank
£40.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - German Neubaufahrzeug Rheinmetall Tank - Plastic model kit #05528
Development of the Neubaufahrzeug ("New construction vehicle") started in 1933. It was the first attempt to create a heavy multi-turreted tank for the Wehrmacht. In 1926 the British built their version of a heavy multi-turreted tank, the Vickers A1E1 Independent, and the Germans bought its technical details from a British officer who acted as a spy. Both Rheinmetall and Krupp were designing a German heavy tank. Their designs turned out to be very similar, the main difference being the weapons placement. Both tanks had a main turret armed with a 75mm KwK L/24 main gun and secondary 37mm KwK L/45. Rheinmetall's design was called PzKpfw NbFz V, and Krupp's design was designated PzKpfw NbFz VI. However, both designs proved to be too complex, unreliable and slow to serve as heavy tanks. Only five tanks were produced and they were primarily used for propaganda purposes. Three out of five Neubaufahrzeug's took part in the Battle of Norway in 1940, but none of them survived the war.

Trumpeter 1:35 Sd. Kfz. 7/1 Half-track w/20mm Flakvierling 38 (Early version)
£40.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - Sd. Kfz. 7/1 Half-track w/20mm Flakvierling 38 (Early version) - Plastic model kit #01523
The Flak 38 was a German 20mm anti-aircraft gun used throughout WWII and the most numerously produced German artillery piece of the period. The 20mm Flakvierling 38 auf Selbstfahrlafette (Sd. Kfz. 7/1) was the result of combining the 20mm Flakvierling 38 with four Flak 38 guns to the Sd. Kfz. 7 half-track to provide greater mobility and firepower. The Sd. Kfz. 7/1 carried 600 2cm rounds on board and 1800 rounds in the towed Sd. Ah. 56 trailer. The guns had the 360 degree traverse by hand and could be elevated from -10 to +100 degrees. The later versions also included an armoured cab for the better protection of the crews. The crew of 10 included a gun commander, eight gunners and a driver.
The first 100 vehicles were produced in 1940-1941 and production continued at a rate of 10 vehicles per month until August 1942, when the monthly rate was significantly increased. Around 800 vehicles were produced by December 1944. From 1942, most vehicles were fitted with lightly armoured driver cabs and a plate protecting the engine compartment. The armour was 8mm thick. These vehicles were issued to Flak units of the Luftwaffe and Panzer units of the Army. Sd. Kfz. 7/1 units were used to protect armoured units against low flying aircraft but were also successfully used against ground targets.
The kit represents an early version of the Sd.Kfz.7/1 with the central circular pivot mounting for the 20mm Flakvierling 38. Later versions had a normal ground mounting fitted to the rear bed which allowed the gun to be easily removed and mounted on the standard Flakvierling Sd. Ah. 52 trailer if necessary.

£29.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 - PLZ-83A SPH - Plastic model kit #05536
The Type 83 SPH is a Chinese 152 mm self-propelled standard heavy howitzer. The gun entered service in the early 1980s and was used in Korea and against the Russians. The Type 83, armed with a modified version of the Type 66 gun, was the first modern self-propelled gun in service with the People's Liberation Army of China. Overall 78 guns were built until the end of production in 1990.
The Type 83 SPH was made from steel. It was also armed with a 12.7mm machine gun and a hand-held Rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The vehicle had a maximum speed of 55 km/h.
Soon after entering service, the Type 83 SPH was determined to be obsolescent and China started to develop new systems.

Trumpeter 1:35 - PLA Type 59 103mm Towed Field Gun - Plastic model kit #02335
The 130mm towed field gun (M-46) was manufactured in the Soviet Union in the 1950s. Its Chinese variant is called the Type 59. This manually loaded artillery piece had a range of more than 27km which made it one of the longest range artillery systems of its time.
China produced three versions of the M-46: the Type 59, the Type 59-1 and the Type GM-45. The Type 59 is a licensed version of the Soviet M-46. The Type 59-1 combines the 130mm ordnance of the Type 59 with the Type 60 carriage and has a gun of much lower weight - 6.3 t. The Type GM-45 was designed for the export market and has a maximum range of 39 km.

Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet Project / Object 704 SPH Howitzer
£64.00 GBP
Trumpeter 1:35 Soviet Project / Object 704 SPH Howitzer - Plastic model kit #TRU05575
As Soviet forces started to push German troops out of Russia, the armament factories were busy developing new military technology to counter the Panther and Tiger tanks and their various tank destroyer units. The ISU-152 series entered production in 1943 based on the KV-1 heavy tank chassis, armed with the ML-20 152.4mm gun howitzer. Despite these new variants being sent into combat, Soviet designers were immediately looking at new developments.
One of these experiments was the Object 704 which adopted the chassis features of the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks and was distinctive with its sloping armour and lower profile. Armed with the ML-20SM model 1944 gun-howitzer, with a barrel length of over 4.5 metres (29.6 calibers) and no muzzle brake, which further increased the firepower of the gun, the vehicle provided the best crew protection of all self-propelled guns in World War II. However, with a crew of five, a low ceiling in the fighting compartment, and the lack of muzzle brake, the workload was unbearable for the crew from the gun recoil. It had a maximum range of 13,000 metres. Only one prototype was built and it is on display in a Russian armour museum. The self-propelled gun carried 20 rounds of two piece (shell and charge) armour-piercing and high explosive ammunition. The secondary armament of the fighting vehicle consisted of two 12.7 x 108 mm DShK machine guns, one anti-aircraft and one co-axial.
The Object 704 self-propelled howitzer was designed to replace the ISU-152.
The overall height of the vehicle was reduced to 2240 mm, which was compensated with an increased width of the superstructure. The factory designation was Object 704. It was armed with the 152.4 mm ML-20SM

HobbyBoss 1:35 German VK1602 Leopard
£30.00 GBP
The German VK1602 Leopard was designed in 1942 as a reconnaissance tank based on the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J (VK 1601). It was planned to finish the first prototype by the 1st of September 1942, and the serial production was scheduled for April 1943. However, the project was abandoned when the first prototype was still incomplete. The reason for cancellation was that the tank's gun, the 50 mm L/60, was insufficient to fight against modern Soviet and Western tanks, which made the vehicle vulnerable. Moreover, the Leopard had a very high weight (21900 kg). The fact that the Leopard was similar to the Panther meant that a reconnaissance Panther could be developed and produced at lower cost.

Miniart 1:35 - German Staff Car, Mercedes-Benz 170V - Plastic Model Kit #35103
The Mercedes-Benz W136 was Mercedes-Benz's line of inline-four cylinder automobiles from the mid-1930s into the 1950s. The model 170V made its public debut in February 1936. Between 1936 and 1939 it was Mercedes' top selling model. Between 1936 and 1942 over 75,000 were built.
The "V" in the 170 V's was an abbreviation of "Vorn" (front), added to differentiate it from the contemporary rear-engined Mercedes-Benz 170H (W28) ("H" for "Heck", rear) which used the same four cylinder 1697cc engine, but positioned at the back of the car.
Most of the cars produced were two or four door "Limousine" (saloon/sedan bodied cars), but the range of different body types offered in the 1930s for the 170V was unusually broad. A four-door "Cabrio-Limousine" combined the four doors of the four door "Limousine" with a full length foldaway canvas roof.
There was a two door two seater "Cabriolet A" and a two door four seater "Cabriolet B" both with luggage storage behind the seats and beneath the storage location of the hood when folded (but without any external lid for accessing the luggage from outside the car). A common feature of the 170V bodies was external storage of the spare wheel on the car's rear panel.

Miniart 1:35 Soviet Naval Troops (Special Edition)
£11.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - Soviet Naval Troops (Special Edition) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35094
Building a Soviet fleet was a national priority, but many senior officers were killed in purges in the late 1930s. When Germany invaded in 1941 and captured millions of soldiers, many sailors and naval guns were detached to reinforce the Red Army; these reassigned naval forces had especially significant roles on land in the battles for Odessa, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Novorossiysk, Tuapse, and Leningrad. The Baltic fleet was blockaded in Leningrad and Kronstadt by minefields, but the submarines escaped. The surface fleet fought with the anti-aircraft defence of the city and bombarded German positions.
Through Lend-Lease, the U.S. and Britain gave the USSR ships with a total displacement of 810,000 tons. The composition of the Soviet fleets in 1941 included 3 aged battleships, 7 cruisers, 59 destroyer-leaders and squadron-destroyers, 218 submarines, 269 torpedo boats, 22 patrol vessels, 88 minesweepers, 77 submarine-hunters, and a range of other smaller vessels.
During the war, many of the vessels on the slips in Leningrad and Nikolayev were destroyed (mainly by aircraft and mines), but the Soviet Navy received captured Romanian destroyers and Lend-Lease small craft from the U.S., as well as the old Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Sovereign (renamed Arkhangelsk) and the United States Navy cruiser USS Milwaukee (renamed Murmansk) in exchange for the Soviet part of the captured Italian navy.
From the beginning of hostilities, Soviet Naval Aviation provided air support to naval and land operations involving the Soviet Navy. This service was responsible for the operation of shore-based floatplanes, long-range flying boats, catapult-launched and vessel-based planes, and land-based aircraft designated for naval use.

Miniart 1:35 - Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes 1944 - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35084
The Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945) was a major German offensive campaign launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg on the Western Front toward the end of World War II in Europe.
The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off guard. The Germans attacked a weakly defended section of the Allied line, taking advantage of heavily overcast weather conditions, which grounded the Allies' overwhelmingly superior air forces. Fierce resistance on the northern shoulder of the offensive around Elsenborn Ridge and in the south around Bastogne blocked German access to key roads to the northwest and west that they counted on for success. Columns of armour and infantry that were supposed to advance along parallel routes found themselves on the same roads. This and terrain that favoured the defenders threw the German advance behind schedule and allowed the Allies to reinforce the thinly placed troops. Improved weather conditions permitted air attacks on German forces and supply lines, which sealed the failure of the offensive. In the wake of the defeat, many experienced German units were left severely depleted of men and equipment, as survivors retreated to the defenses of the Siegfried Line.
The Germans' initial attack included 406,000 men, 1,214 tanks, tank destroyers, and assault guns, and 4,224 artillery pieces. These were reinforced a couple weeks later, bringing the offensive's total strength to around 450,000 troops. Between 67,200 and 125,000 of their men were killed, missing or wounded. For the Americans, with 610,000 involved in the battle, of whom 89,000 were casualties, including up to 19,000 killed, it was the largest and bloodiest battle fought by the United States in World War II.

Miniart 1:35 Scout Car Dingo Mk IA w/Crew
£32.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - Scout Car Dingo Mk IA w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35087
The Dingo was a British light two-man armoured car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armour was thin, just enough to stand against infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armoured sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four opening hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredible long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five forward gears and five reverse gears, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7m (23 ft), but the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design with front-wheel steering was chosen for the Mk.II.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride. There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (cal 0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions.
The Dingo was produced from 1939 to 1945, and remained virtually unaltered.
The Mark I had a flexible sliding roof and the all-wheel steering. It was difficult to handle for inexperienced drivers.
The Mark IA was a sub-variant equipped with a folding roof.
The Mark IB had a reverse cooling air flow and new armored grilles for the radiator, allowing better ventilation. The bulk of these vehicles served in the Libyan desert.
The Mark II had a revised steering system, using only the front wheels. The lighting equipment was modernised, altogether with the Mark IB modification range.
The Mark III was the final version, coming in 1944 with a waterproof ignition system and no roof at all.
The kit contains 303 parts.

Sold Out
Miniart 1:35 - Daimler Dingo British Scout Car Mk III w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35077
The Dingo was a British light two-man armoured car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armour was thin, just enough to stand against infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armoured sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four opening hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredible long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five forward gears and five reverse gears, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7m (23 ft), but the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design with front-wheel steering was chosen for the Mk.II.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride. There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (cal 0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions.
The Dingo was produced from 1939 to 1945, and remained virtually unaltered.
The Mark I had a flexible sliding roof and the all-wheel steering. It was difficult to handle for inexperienced drivers.
The Mark IA was a sub-variant equipped with a folding roof.
The Mark IB had a reverse cooling air flow and new armored grilles for the radiator, allowing better ventilation. The bulk of these vehicles served in the Libyan desert.
The Mark II had a revised steering system, using only the front wheels. The lighting equipment was modernised, altogether with the Mark IB modification range.
The Mark III was the final version, coming in 1944 with a waterproof ignition system and no roof at all.
The kit contains 262 parts.
Includes parts for one armoured car and three figures.

Miniart 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer SU-76(r) w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35053
It was common for the German army to use captured vehicles in battle. The SU-76 was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. Its German designation was Jagdpanzer SU-76. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 light tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
The SU-76M virtually replaced infantry tanks in the close support role. Its thin armour and open top made it vulnerable to antitank weapons, grenades, and small arms. Its light weight and low ground pressure gave it good mobility.

Miniart 1:35 - British Bantam 40 BRC w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35324
At the outbreak of WWII, the American Army starting looking for a General Purpose Vehicle. The American Bantam Company came up with a design that passed rigorous testing, but they didn’t have the required capacity for the mass production. As the Government now owned the design, they contracted out the build to Willys Overland and Ford in 1941, and they came up with a slightly altered version in the form of the familiar Willys Jeep.
The American Bantam company did end up producing 2675 Bantam BRC- 40’s, but once the US Army standardised the production of the Ford and Willys version all the Bantams were either issued to Britain or Russia under the Lend Lease scheme. The British used the some of the limited number they received in the Desert Campaign in North Africa.

Miniart 1:35 - ZIS-3 Gun Emplacement - Plastic model kit #36058
The 76-mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) was a Soviet 76.2 mm divisional field gun used during World War II. ZiS was a factory designation and stood for Zavod imeni Stalina ("factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of Artillery Factory No. 92, which first constructed this gun.
The design works of ZiS-3 started in the end of 1940 on the Artillery Factory No. 92 under supervision of V. G. Grabin. There was no order for this work; moreover, at that time the attitude toward such development programs on the part of artillery commanders, such as Marshal Kulik, the head officer of Soviet artillery, was extremely negative. So the project was run purely on the initiative of Grabin, his design bureau and the Artillery Factory No. 92 head and his deputies. None of them informed state authorities about the ZiS-3 project.
After having been built, the first ZiS-3 gun was hidden from the watchful eyes of the authorities, who continued to ignore the Red Army's need for light and medium field guns. The authorities' main argument was the information that German heavy tanks carried exceptionally strong armour. In reality Germany did not have such tanks in early 1941 and this misinformation was the result of successful Nazi propaganda about the Neubaufahrzeug multi-turreted prototype tank.
When ZiS-3 guns were finally transferred to the Red Army under personal responsibility of Grabin and Artillery Factory No. 92 head staff, the combat experience showed the superiority of ZiS-3 over all other types of divisional level field guns. This allowed the ZiS-3 to be presented to a group of state authorities headed by Joseph Stalin and thus obtain all needed approval. After the demonstration was over Stalin said: "This gun is a masterpiece of artillery systems design." The total number of ZiS-3s produced exceeded 103,000 pieces.
The kit contains 151 parts.
Includes: models of ZIS-3, six ammo boxes w/shells and gun crew set.

Allied operations in and around Italy, from 1943 to the end of the war in Europe, are known as the Italian Campaign. Joint Allied Force Headquarters (AFHQ) was operationally responsible for all Allied land forces in the Mediterranean theatre, and it planned and commanded the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, followed shortly thereafter in September by the invasion of the Italian mainland and the campaign on Italian soil until the surrender of the German Armed Forces in Italy in May 1945. It is estimated that between September 1943 and April 1945, some 60,000-70,000 Allied and 150,000 German soldiers died in Italy. Overall Allied casualties during the campaign totaled about 320,000 and the corresponding German figure (excluding those involved in the final surrender) was well over 600,000.

Miniart 1:35 - Ardennes Building - Plastic model kit #35515
Ardennes is a region in southeast Belgium that extends into Luxembourg, Germany and France. The strategic position of the Ardennes has made it a battleground for European powers for centuries. The region's rugged terrain encompasses rolling valleys, meandering rivers, extensive caves and dense forests crisscrossed with hiking paths. In the 20th century, the Ardennes was widely thought unsuitable for large-scale military operations, due to its difficult terrain and narrow lines of communications. But, in both World War I and World War II, Germany successfully gambled on making a rapid passage through the Ardennes to attack a relatively lightly defended part of France. The Ardennes was the site of three major battles during the world wars – the Battle of the Ardennes in World War I, and the Battle of France and Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Many of the towns of the region were badly damaged during the two world wars.

Academy 1:35 - M4A3 Sherman W/T34 Calliope - Plastic model kit #13294
The T34 (Calliope) was a tank-mounted multiple rocket launcher used by the U.S. Army during World War II. The launcher was mounted on top of the Medium Tank M4, with its prominent vertical side frames fixed to the turret's sides. It carried sixty 4.5in (114mm) rockets in 36 tubes on the top, and a pair of 12 tubes groups (24 tubes of groups that could be jettisoned) on the bottom.
The T34 was developed in 1943; small numbers were produced and used by US armour units in 1944-45. The T34 takes its name from the musical instrument "Calliope", also known as the steam organ, which had parallel pipes of a similar nature, and which had in history existed on steamboats of the Mississippi River.

Academy 1:35 - U.S. Tank Destroyer M10 GMC '70th Anniversary of Normandy Invasion, 1944-2014' - Plastic model kit #13288
The M10 was a U.S. tank destroyer of World War II based on the chassis of the M4 Sherman tank fitted with the 3-inch (76.2mm) Gun M7. Previously known as the 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, M10, it was the most important U.S. tank destroyer of World War II in terms of numbers produced and combined a nearly all-sloped armour adaptation of the Sherman hull and drivetrain, with a potent anti-tank weapon within an open-topped, 360º rotation turret mount for its main armament. This was different to the M3 GMC, whose main armament was capable of only a limited traverse, given that it was essentially an adaptation of a self-propelled artillery platform.
The M10 remained in service until the end of the war and its chassis was later re-employed with a new turret to create the M36 Jackson tank, which used a 90mm gun instead of the 76.2mm.
The M10 was dubbed the Wolverine by British troops, although unlike other vehicle names such as the M4 Sherman, the name was not adopted by American soldiers, who called it TD (a nickname for any tank destroyer in general) beyond its formal designation.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger I (Mid production version) '70th Anniversary of Normandy Invasion, 1944-2014' - Plastic model kit #13287
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, was deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe commonly in independent heavy tank battalions with the designation Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E often shortened to Tiger. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that used the KwK 36 88-mm gun. In total 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. Production was over time phased out in favour of the Tiger II.
The Tiger I has been called an excellent design for its time, however it was over-engineered, using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods. The Tiger was prone to some types of track failures and breakdowns, and had limited range given its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to run, but normally mechanically reliable. It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilisation when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk-pattern road wheels, often causing them to jam. This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy rasputitsa (semi-annual mud seasons) and winter weather conditions.
The tank was named "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The early designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (‘‘Panzer VI version H’’, abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H) where 'H' denoted Henschel as the designer/manufacturer. It was given ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182. The tank was later redesignated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181.
Tigers had a crew of 5. They could travel up to 23mph on roads and were powered by the Maybach 21, 353cc V-12 engines that delivered 642hp.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. 35 (t) - Plastic model kit #13280
The Panzerkampfwagen 35(t) was a Czechoslovak-designed light tank used mainly by the Wehrmacht in World War II. The letter (t) stood for tschechisch (German: "Czech"). In Czechoslovak service, it had the formal designation Lehký tank vzor 35 (Light Tank Model 35), but was commonly referred to as the LT vz. 35 or LT-35.
Of the 434 built, the Wehrmacht seized 244 when they occupied Bohemia-Moravia in March 1939 and the Slovaks took over 52 when they declared independence from Czechoslovakia. Others were also sent to Bulgaria and Romania. In German service, the tank saw combat during the early years of World War II, notably the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France and the invasion of the Soviet Union. They were used for the remainder of the war by other countries and as a training tank in Bulgaria into the 1950s.
