Trumpeter 1:35 - PAK. 43 88mm Waffentrager (Krupp/ Ardelt) - Plastic model kit #01587
The Pak. 43 (Panzerjägerkanone 43, 'tank hunters gun') was a German 88 mm anti-tank gun designed by the Krupp company during World War II. The number 43 refers to 1943, the year when the first prototype was produced. With a maximum range of up to 16 km, the Pak. 43 was considered the most powerful anti-tank gun of the German Army. It could penetrate the armour of the Soviet JS-2 and other Allied tanks. The anti-tank gun remained in service till 1945 and was one of the most mass-produced cannons of the period.
The Pak. 43 and its modifications were also used on several German tank destroyers. One of those was the Waffentrager 88mm PAK-43 manufactured by the Ardelt company and based on the Checkoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis.

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.
