Meng Model 1:35 - German Panzerhaubitze 2000 Self-Propelled Howitzer with add-on armour - Plastic model kit #TS-019
The Panzerhaubitze 2000, shortened to PzH 2000, is a German 155 mm self-propelled howitzer. It was developed by the KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH together with the Rheinmetall AG for the needs of the German military. The production was launched in 1998 and continues to the present.
The PzH 2000 is considered one of the most powerful artillery pieces used in the 21st century. It is known for its remarkably high fire range - the howitzer can unload 3 shells in 9 seconds and 10 shells in 56 seconds. The PzH 2000 is also equipped with the MRSI system (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact) which allows it to hit the target with several shells at a time. The 155 mm L52 artillery gun is complemented by a MG3 7.62 mm machine gun. The top speed is 67 km/h.
The Panzerhaubitze 2000 was widely used by the Dutch and German troops during the War in Afghanistan. Today it is in service with the armies of Italy, the Netherlands, Greece and other countries-members of NATO.

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.
