The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) was initially designed by ČKD (Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk) - Czech engineering company - in 1938. From May to November 1939, 150 tanks were produced for the Wehrmacht. They were designated Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. A. These tanks had excellent technical characteristics - speed, armour protection and high reliability, and were considered to be the best light tanks in the beginning of WWII. They were also used by Hungarian, Romanian, Slovakian, and Bulgarian armies, and were exported to Sweden, Switzerland, Peru, and other countries.
The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. G was the result of a growing demand for heavier armour. This tank had a basic 50mm armour plate on all frontal surfaces. It was mainly used in Russia, with some models exported to Germany's allies.

Academy 1:35 - Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind (Replaces ACA01333) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13236
The Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind" (Whirlwind in English) was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun designed by the Germans on the basis of the Panzer IV tank. Its development was launched in 1944 when Nazi troops suffered great losses from Allied Air Forces.
The Flakpanzer IV featured an open-top turret fitted with four 2 cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns. It was nicknamed "Keksdose" ("Biscuit Tin") because of the turret shape which reminded of a nine-sided polygon.
On the battlefield 2 cm shells turned out insufficient against aircraft, however in general the gun performed well against infantry troops as well as trucks and armoured cars. Later the Flakpanzer IV was replaced with the Flakpanzer IV Ostwind (East Wind), a version more powerful against air targets.

Academy 1:35 - Sturmgeschütz IV assault tank (Replaces ACA13235) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13235
The Sturmgeschütz IV, shortened to StuG IV or Sd.Kfz.167, was a German assault gun designed on the basis of the Panzer IV in the last years of the Second World War. The main role of the StuG IV on the battlefield was the same anti-tank role of its predecessor the StuG III. The use of StuG IV guns was a considerable support to the weakening German forces on both fronts.
The StuG IV was practically identical to its predecessor, however it was a bit lighter, which in view of the limited resources was a great advantage. In the period between December 1943 and May 1945 over a thousand of StuG IVs were built. The gun was proved effective against both Soviet and Allied tanks.

Equipped with radio and a German commander's cupola, T-34 747(r) tanks were also marked with a Balkenkreuz or a swastika in order to differentiate them from Soviet T-34's.
