Academy 1:35 - M3 Stuart "Honey" British version (Replaces ACA01399) - Plastic Model Kit #13270
The M3 Stuart was an American light tank that had been delivered to British forces by the US Government during WWII, before the Americans officially entered the war. Subsequently it was deployed by the Allies until the capitulation of Germany.
"Stuart" was a nickname given in reference to James Stuart, an American Confederate States Army general of the Civil War. When a British tankman saw the tank for the first time, he remarked "She's a honey". That name stuck and in British service the M3 was often referred to as "Honey".
Compared to the previous Light Tank M2, the Stuart had an improved suspension, better gun recoil mechanism and thicker armour, unusual for a light tank. The vehicle was armed with a 37mm M5 gun (which was later replaced with a longer M6 version) and a several Browning machine guns. The tank production lasted from 1941 to 1943.
In 1941 the British army had 700 Stuart tanks in service, 170 of which were deployed in Operation Crusader in North Africa. Though Stuarts surpassed most of the Axis tanks in many respects, the operation was unsuccessful due to the poor tactics of British troops.
In the following years the British usually avoided using Stuarts in tank-to tank fights, deploying them mostly in reconnaissance operations. In some cases the turret was removed for the sake of lighter weight and better mobility (such versions were known as "Stuart Recce"), some other units were transformed to either armoured personnel carriers ("Stuart Kangaroo") or command vehicles ("Stuart Command"). The M3 served with the British army till the end of the war, though in smaller numbers than those used by the Americans.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger I Early version, no interior with 4 figures - Plastic model kit #13264 (ACA01386)
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.

The Deutsche Afrika Korps vehicles wore 4 different RAL colours: 8000 and 7008 before March 1942; 8020 and 7008 after March 1942. Additionally the vehicles were painted with a Panzer Grey 7021 paint base which was often exposed when the paint camo was chipped and worn. There is also a discussion about the colour of the Tiger I deployed in Tunisia, because some sources identified them in Olive Drab. However, recent research identifies the paint as RAL 8020 but in a more greenish shade than usual.
This set includes 6 colours which can be applied directly without having to make complex paint mixtures or do research about the colours used by DAK. These colours were slightly modified in order to compensate for the scale effect.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a German light armoured car produced from 1935 until 1944. Germany developed several variants of this vehicle. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was an improved version of the Sd. Kfz. 221, armed initially with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 and a 7.92mm MG 13. Later on the MG 13 machine gun was replaced by the Maschinengewehr 34, and the KwK 30 was replaced by the KwK 38 of the same calibre. This variant of the vehicle was called the Leichter Panzerspähwagen 2 cm. Its production ran from 1937 to 1943 with nearly a thousand vehicles built in total.
The Sd. Kfz. 222 proved to be very efficient in the Balkans in 1941. Large numbers of these armoured cars were also sent to North Africa, however the limited volume of their fuel tanks meant the lack of effective range. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was gradually substituted with the Sd.Kfz.250/9 (Hanomag). A small number of vehicles were sold to China in 1939.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. It had the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis and a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, which gives it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. The car had a maximum range of 300 km. Its armament consisted of one 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 main cannon and one MG 34 secondary machine gun.
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions. It performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like Western Europe, but on the Eastern Front and in North Africa it was hampered by its relatively poor off-road performance and was gradually replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2,5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after the D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.

The Flak 38(t) was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the Second World War. An improved version of the Flak 30, it was widely used by different German forces. Rheinmetall created the Flak 38 in order to improve the fire rate of the Flak 30. The Flak 38 had a fire rate of 220 rpm (compared to 120 rpm of its predecessor) and much lower weight. In 1939, the Flak 38 was recognised as the standard Army gun, but later on Mauser came up with its even lighter modification, the Gebirgsflak 38, which could be easily used against both air and surface targets.

The German Panzerkampfwagen IV (or Panzer IV) was a medium tank developed in 1930s. It was the only German tank continuously produced throughout the war, and the most widely exported German tank. Over 8,800 Panzer IV's were produced between 1936 and 1945.
The Ausf. C was introduced in 1938. Due to the increased turret armour (30mm), the tank's weight went up from 16 to 18.14 tonnes. After assembling forty Ausf. C's, the tank's engine was replaced with the improved HL 120TRM.
From October 1938 to August 1939, 134 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. C's were produced, and production moved to the Ausf. D. In August 1939, six of the 3.Serie/B.W. chassis were assembled and converted into bridge-laying tanks.

The Panzer II tanks were produced from 1935 till 1943 and played an important role in the early years of WWII. By 1940-41 they were supplanted by the Panzer III's and Panzer IV's. The Pz.Kpfw.II was used during the Polish and French campaigns, in North Africa against the British, and on the Eastern Front against the Red Army.
The Panzer II Ausf. D, Ausf. E, Ausf. F and Ausf. L were designed as reconnaissance tanks. Continued development of the reconnaissance tank concept led to the much up-armored Ausf. J, which used the same concept as the Pz. Kpfw.I Ausf. F of the same period and had an experimental designation VK1601. This version had heavier armour, with protection brought up to 80mm on the front and 50mm on the sides and rear. With 25mm roof and floor plates, the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J had a total weight of 18 tons. It was equipped with the same Maybach HL45P as the Pz. Kpfw.I Ausf. F, and its top speed was reduced to 31 km/h. Primary armament was the 2cm KwK38 L/55 gun.
22 of these tanks were produced between April and December 1942, and seven were issued to the 12th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front.

The Saurer company started to develop the vehicle in 1936 as an artillery tractor for the Austrian army. The first tractors were produced in 1938. About 12 vehicles were made prior to Anschluss (incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany, March 1938). After the Anschluss production continued. A total of 140 units were built with the new designation RK-7 (Räder-Kettenfahrgestell), although Wehrmacht called them Sd. Kfz. 254. The vehicle had a wheel/track layout and a diesel motor. The wheels were lowered when it was used on roads and retracted for cross-country movement. Some Sd. Kfz. 254's served as artillery observation vehicles for the Afrika Korps after being fitted with a radio and rail antenna.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. It had the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis and a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, which give it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. The car had a maximum range of 300 km.
Used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions, the Leichter Panzerspähwagen performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like Western Europe. However, on the Eastern Front and in North Africa these vehicles were hampered by their relatively poor off-road performance, and were gradually replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

The German Sd.Kfz.223 belonged to a series of light four-wheel drive armoured vehicles named the Leichter Panzerspähwagen. They were produced from 1936 to 1944.
The vehicle design was based on the principle of reliability and simplicity. It was suited for off-road conditions and could run on various grades of fuel.
Carrying a 7.92 mm Maschinengewehr 13 machine gun, the Sd.Kfz.223 was basically armed as lightly as the first Sd.Kfz.221 vehicles, but it was additionally equipped with a frame antenna and a midrange radio set.

The M3 was used by the cavalry units of the U.S. Army in the North African Campaign, the invasion of Sicily, and a small number of vehicles were deployed in Normandy. The M3A1 was supplied to the Soviet Union and Britain under lend-lease. These vehicles were also used by the Free French Forces as well as Belgian, Czechoslovak and Polish units.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - M3A1 Scout Car 'White' Late Version - Plastic model kit #82452
Production of the U.S. 'White' M3A1 scout car (named after its manufacturer, the White Motor Company) started in 1940 with 20,918 vehicles built until 1944. Initially it was used by armoured and reconnaissance units, but it was better suited for road use than for cross-country terrain. During the war the M3A1 was not often used in the dangerous role of a scout vehicle. Trial versions included the M3A1E1 with a diesel engine, the M3A1E2 with an armored roof, and the M3A1E3 mounting a 37mm (1.46 in) gun on a rotating pedestal. By 1943 it became clear that the vehicle had poor off-road mobility and poor armament, and it was replaced with the M8 armoured car and similar M20 Utility Car in most of the US Army units. The M3 was supplied in large numbers under Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union and to Free French forces. After the war, vehicles were exported to Israel and other countries, where they served for many years.

The German Leichter Panzerspahwagen was a series of light four-wheel drive armoured cars produced from 1935 to 1944. The base model, Sd. Kfz. 221, was armed with a single 7.92mm Maschinengewehr 13 machine gun and was in production from 1935 to 1940 with at least 339 vehicles produced. The next version, Sd. Kfz. 222, had a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon and a 7.92mm MG 13 machine gun. A total of 990 vehicles were produced from 1937 till 1943. The Sd. Kfz. 223 was similar to the Sd. Kfz. 221, but was equipped with a frame antenna and a radio set. Initially it was armed with a 7.92mm MG 13 machine gun, but it was changed to a Maschinengewehr 34 in 1938. This model was manufactured from 1936 to 1944. At least 567 Sd. Kfz. 223 cars were produced for the army.

The GMC CCKW was a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck used in the Second World War and the Korean War. It's often referred to as a "Deuce and a Half" or "Jimmy". The CCKW came in many variants which had an open or closed cab, and a Long Wheel Base (LWB 353) or a Short Wheel Base (SWB 352). Initially all versions had a closed cab, a metal roof and doors, and steel cargo beds. As the war progressed, an open cab version was designed. It had fixed 'half doors', canvas top and sides, and the steel bed was replaced by a wooden one in order to conserve steel. The wooden bed proved unsatisfactory and led to the development of a 'composite' bed with steel sides and framing along with wooden slats for the bed. Later on the composite bed was replaced by an all steel bed.

The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2.5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.
