HobbyBoss 1:35 German Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. F (VK18.01) - Late
Sold Out
Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. F, also known as VK.18.01, was as different from the Ausf. C as it was from the Ausf. A and B. The Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. F was originally designed as an infantry support tank. It had a maximum armour thickness of 80mm (3.15 in) and weighed between 18 and 21 tonnes. To compensate for the increased weight, the Ausf. F had a new 110 kW Maybach HL45 Otto engine installed, allowing a maximum road speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). The Ausf. F was armed with two 7.92mm MG-34's. In 1940-1941, thirty Ausf. F's were produced, and the second order was cancelled. Eight of these tanks were sent to the 1st Panzer Division in 1943 and saw combat in the Battle of Kursk. The rest were given to several army schools for training and evaluation purposes.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J (VK16.01) Early
£23.00 GBP
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.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Pz.Kpfw./Pz.BfWg 38(t) Ausf. B
£23.00 GBP
The Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) light tank was developed before the beginning of World War II. The initial design belonged to Czech engineers, but after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia the tank was included in the German combat arsenal.
Being a pre-war designed tank, the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) had common features of the tanks from that period, such as riveted armour and a rear engine. Still some changes were made by the Germans, with increased armour thickness and a loader position added to the turret being the main ones.
The tank saw active service during the military incursion into Poland, France and the Soviet Union, but it became obsolete in 1942 for it no longer proved effective on the battlefield. However, the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) served as a prototype for the Marder III and partly for the Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers.
The Pz.BfWg 38(t) was a command tank also originated from Czechoslovakia and used by the German Army during World War II. It was equipped with a radio station and a frame antenna. The total of 300 Pz.BfWg's were produced.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Sturmpanzer IV early Sd. Kfz.166 "Brummbar"
Sold Out
Following the success of the 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 in Stalingrad, Panzer IV chassis was used to develop the next Sturmpanzer, an armoured infantry support gun. Production started in May 1943 and continued until March 1945. Allied intelligence called this tank Brummbar ("Grouch"), but the Germans didn't use this name. The Brummbär was used in the Battles of Kursk, Anzio, Normandy, and Warsaw Uprising. Overall around 300 vehicles were built.
The Sturmpanzer IV had the StuH 43 L/12 gun which could fire both high explosive and shaped charge rounds. However, the high gross weight and massive armoured structure overloaded the Panzer IV chassis. It made the entire vehicle overweight and inclined to front. The tank was underpowered and suffered from transmission failures.
The Sturmpanzer IV had many variations. The tank's superstructure and the StuH 43 gun were successively modified to fix the flaws based on frontline reports and comments.

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.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German VK4502 (P) Hintern
£30.00 GBP
The Volkettenfahrzeuge 4502 (Porsche) Ausf. B, or VK4502 (P) Ausf. B, was an experimental German heavy tank designed by Porsche in 1942. It was based on the previous VK4501(P) design. Initially it was proposed that the chassis design for the VK4502 (P) could be adopted from the VK4501 (P) with minimum modifications. The tank was supposed to have a maximum speed of 35 km/h and weigh around 45 tonnes. The turret for the VK4502 was also designed by Porsche.
In 1942, a production contract for 100 VK4502 armour shells and 100 turrets was given to Fried Kruppe AG Essen. Kruppe planned to begin the production after completing 100 VK4501 hulls. Later Krupp was asked to complete only 30 Type 180 hulls. However, the project took a serious setback when the Porsche's 101/3 engine failed during the testing.
The contracts for the VK4502 hulls and turrets were terminated. By January 1943, Krupp had already manufactured 20 armour turret bodies for the VK4502 and around 40 to 50 were under construction at the time of cancellation. Krupp then got the permission to assemble three operational turrets for the VK4502. Porsche confirmed that three Tiger P2 VK4502 with electric drives were being completed at the Nibelungwerk. New vehicles were supposed to feature new hydraulic drives, a new suspension system and an air-cooled diesel engine. However, nothing more was heard about the fate of the VK4502 until April 1944 when Krupp reported that one of the turrets was completed and the other two were close to completion. In August 1944 the remaining turrets were converted for use on the Henschel chassis.

HobbyBoss 1:35 PzKpfw I Ausf. C (VK 601)
£27.00 GBP
The Panzer I Ausf. C had nothing in common with either Ausf. A or B except for the name. It was designed by Krauss-Maffei and Daimler-Benz in 1939 to serve as an armed reconnaissance light tank. The Panzer I Ausf. C had a completely new chassis and turret, a modern torsion-bar suspension and five interleaved roadwheels. The Ausf. C's maximum armour thickness of 30mm (1.18 in) was over twice as much as that of the Ausf. A or B. Overall forty Ausf. C's were produced, along with six prototypes. Two tanks were deployed to the 1st Panzer Division in 1943, and the other thirty-eight were used by the LVIII Panzer Reserve Corps during the Normandy landings.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Russian T-50 Infantry Tank
Sold Out
The T-50 was a Soviet light tank developed in 1939 for the needs of the Red Army. After the Spanish Civil War it became obvious that the Soviet tank fleet consisted mostly of modified versions of foreign vehicles required an upgrade. The T-50 was planned to replace the T-26 light infantry tank which was a Soviet redesign of the British Vickers Mark E.
The production of the T-50 began shortly after the German attack on the USSR in June 1941. A torsion-spring suspension, a diesel engine, and a good slope of armour made the tank one of the most advanced Soviet designs of that time. One more advantage of the T-50 was a commander's cupola used in Soviet tanks for the first time (instead of panoramic periscopes). Similar to Soviet medium and heavy tanks, the T-50 also had a three-man turret.
However, despite of its remarkable design, the T-50 never entered mass-production due to a number of technical problems. One of the problems was the tank's new diesel engine which was proved unreliable and expensive to produce. Only 69 units of the T-50 were completed. Later the Red Army rejected the concept of light infantry tanks replacing them with cheaper SU-76 self-propelled guns and more efficient T-34 medium tanks.
Several T-50 tanks saw action on the Leningrad front. One unit was taken over by Finnish troops and now is displayed in Finland.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet OT-130 Flame Thrower Tank
£30.00 GBP
The T-26 was a Soviet light infantry tank based on the British Vickers 6-Ton tank designed by the Vickers-Armstrongs company in 1928-1929. The T-26 was one of the most successful tanks of its time. More than 11,000 T-26's were manufactured in the 1930s. The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production. One of them was the OT-130 (KhT-130), a flamethrower tank with a 45mm gun turret. Around 12% of all T-26 light tanks were flame-throwing tanks.
The abbreviation "OT" (Ognemetniy Tank, Flame-throwing Tank) was adopted only in the post-war period. Initially these tanks were called "KhT" (Khimicheskiy Tank, Chemical Tank) and were intended for chemical contamination, creating smoke screens and flame throwing.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-18 Light Tank MOD1927
Sold Out
The T-18 was the first light tank developed in the Soviet Union. Its design was based on the French Renault FT and improved by addition of a vertically sprung suspension to increase the tank speed over rough terrains. The T-18 was also called MS-1, an abbreviation of "Maliy Soprovozhdeniya, Perviy" meaning "Support vehicle, small, type 1".
The first prototype was built in 1927. Designated the T-16, it was powered by a 35 hp truck engine and armed with a 37 mm gun, a modification of the French Puteaux SA 18 cannon. Unable to overcome trenches wider than 1.5 m, the T-16 was replaced by the T-18 which entered production in 1928.
The T-18 was considered an improvement over both the T-16 and the Renault FT. Its armament consisted of a French 37 mm Model 28 cannon and a double-barrelled 6.5 mm Fyodorov machine gun. Overall ammunition included 104 x 37 mm shells and 2,016 x 6.5 mm cartridges. The turret was protected with 8 mm curved plates and a 3 mm mushroom-style cap. The hull armour was 16 mm thick and 3 mm plates were used on the bottom of the tank. The maximum road speed was 18 km/h. However, the T-18 still had problems with crossing trenches and ditches more than 2 m wide and 1.2 m deep.
T-18 tanks were used in service during the Sino-Soviet conflict of 1929. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1940, several T-18s were renewed with 45 mm guns and renamed the T-18M to take part in combat. Despite of the fact that the T-18 design was proved unsuccessful, it was the first step towards more advanced Soviet armoured vehicles.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-24 Medium Tank
£35.00 GBP
The T-24 was a Soviet medium tank produced at the KhPZ factory (Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, Ukraine) in 1931. It had a 45mm main gun, a ball-mount 7.62mm DT machine gun in the hull, and two more guns in the turret and in the secondary turret. The vehicle was considered well-armoured for its time, but it had problems with the engine and transmission. Due to these problems the T-24 was found unreliable. Only 24 tanks were built, and they were used only for training and parades. However, this failure gave the KhPZ factory production experience which was applied later in adopting production of the U.S. Christie tank as the BT tank series.

The T-26 was used by the Red Army since 1932. It saw combat in many conflicts of the 1930s and during the Second World War. Along with the BT, the T-26 was considered the main tank of the Red Army during the interwar period. The T-26 saw action in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet-Japanese border conflict, and the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. In 1941 it could withstand most German tanks, but was inferior to the Panzer III and Panzer IV participating in Operation Barbarossa. The T-26 was then gradually replaced by the superior T-34. The remaining T-26's participated in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of the Caucasus.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Early) - Plastic model kit #83851
The Soviet multi-turreted T-28 entered production in 1932. The tank was intended to complement the multi-turreted heavy T-35 and break through fortified defences. The design was similar to the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank produced in 1926. It had a large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller ones with 7.62mm machine guns. From 1933 to 1941 the Soviet Union manufactured 503 T-28's. These tanks were in service during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and the Winter War against Finland in 1939–1940. The T-28 was not very successful in combat and had significant flaws, but it did have a number of advanced features for the time and was superior to some of the enemy's tanks. Soviet tank designers incorporated some of the ideas tried out on the T-28 in future models.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Riveted)
£43.00 GBP
The T-28 was a Soviet medium multi-turret tank designed as a support to the T-35 heavy tank against deliberate defences. The Kirov Factory began T-28 production in 1932 which made it one of the first medium tanks in the world.
The T-28 had one large turret and two smaller ones with a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on each. The multi-turret design was adopted from the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank.
The T-28 saw action during the Soviet military operation in Poland in 1939 and during the conflict between the USSR and Finland in 1939-1940 (known as the Winter War). At the beginning of the Winter War it became clear that the T-28 armour was too thin, later it was thickened up to 80 mm on the front and up to 40 mm on the sides and rear.
Eventually, the T-28 proved unsuccessful on the battlefield, but still it was important in regard to the development of future series.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-28E Medium Tank
£43.00 GBP
HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-28E Medium Tank - Plastic model kit #83854
The Soviet multi-turreted T-28 entered production in 1932. The tank was intended to complement the multi-turreted heavy T-35 and break through fortified defences. The design was similar to the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank produced in 1926. It had a large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller ones with 7.62mm machine guns. From 1933 to 1941 the Soviet Union manufactured 503 T-28's. These tanks were in service during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and the Winter War against Finland in 1939–1940.
The T-28 was not very successful in combat and had significant flaws, but it did have a number of advanced features for the time and was superior to some enemy tanks. Soviet tank designers incorporated some of the ideas tried out on the T-28 in future models.
The T-28E was one of the T-28 versions. Its armour was improved, however it resulted in increased weight and speed reduction.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-35 Heavy Tank - Before 1938
£55.00 GBP
In the 1920s and 1930s several European armies favoured the concept of large, multi-turreted tanks. Designs for such tanks existed in Britain, France, and Germany. However, it was the Soviet T-35 that became the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production. The T-35 was a heavy tank of the interwar period and early World War II. The tank was large, but inside spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. The T-35 turned out to be slow and mechanically unreliable, and during Operation Barbarossa 90% of the T-35's were lost due to mechanical failures rather than enemy actions. From 1935 till 1940 the T-35 was used primarily for parade duties.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-35 Heavy Tank - Late
£60.00 GBP
The Soviet T-35 was a multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early WWII that saw limited production and service with the Red Army. The T-35 was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production; however it proved to be slow and mechanically unreliable. Most of the T-35's which were still operational at the time of Operation Barbarossa were lost due to mechanical failure rather than enemy action. The main turret was equipped with a KT-28 cannon also used on the Т-28 medium tank. The the 7.62mm DT machine gun was an auxiliary weapon in the main turret. The tank was large, but on the inside the spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. Some of the turrets obscured the entrance hatches.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-37 Amphibious Light Tank - Early
£27.00 GBP
The T-37, a Soviet amphibious light tank, was the first series of mass-produced fully amphibious tanks in the world. The design was based on the British Vickers tankette and other operational amphibious tanks. Mass production began in 1933 and ran until 1936, when the T-37 was replaced with the more modern T-38. During the four years of production, the Soviet Union built 2552 T-37's.
The Red Army used this tank for communication, reconnaissance, and defense purposes, as well as for infantry support on the battlefield. The T-37 was used during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, in the Winter War against Finland (1939–1940), and in the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Some T-37's fought on the front lines until 1944.

£27.00 GBP
The T-37A, a Soviet amphibious light tank, was the first mass-produced fully amphibious tank in the world. The T-37A was based on the British Vickers tankette, and entered production in 1932. The Red Army used these tanks for communication, reconnaissance, and defense purposes. The T-37A tank was deployed during the Soviet invasion of Poland, the Winter War and in the beginning of the Second World War. Subsequently the configuration of the tank borrowed from its British prototype became a standard in Soviet amphibious tanks of the 1930s. The T-37 tank was put out of service in 1936 and replaced with the more advanced T-38 series.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-38 Amphibious Light Tank
£27.00 GBP
The T-38 was a Soviet amphibious light tank of the Second World War period. An improved version of the T-37A light tank, the T-38 was produced from 1936 till 1939. 1,228 tanks were built in 1936-1937, and another 112 - in 1939.
Trials showed that the T-37A had a limited range and unreliable transmission and running gear, which could cause its tracks to fall off while on the move. An improved version of this tank - the T-38 - was supposed to fix these flaws. The turret was moved from the right-hand side of the tank to the left, which switched the driver and commander positions. The T-38 was armed with a 7.62mm DT machine gun.
The tank was designed for reconnaissance and infantry support. Due to its ability to swim, it had a good long-range mobility. It was also intended to be air-portable; in 1936 the T-38's were mounted under the fuselage and transported by Tupolev TB-3 bombers during the Kiev maneuvers. However, due to the thin armour and a single machinegun, the T-38's use in combat was limited. It was also incapable of carrying the weight of two infantrymen while floating; overloads of 120-150kg would sink the vehicle.
The Red Army used the T-38 in 1940, during the Winter War with Finland. Its armament and thin armour made the tank unsuccessful; it was easily penetrated by the fire of rifles and light machine guns. The Germans captured large numbers of T-38's during Operation Barbarossa. During WWII, the main amphibious scout vehicle of the Soviet Union was the U.S. Ford GPA amphibious jeep provided through Lend-Lease.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-40 Light Tank
£27.00 GBP
The T-40 was a Soviet amphibious light tank of the Second World War which could ford a river without a bridge. It was an improvement over the T-37 and T-38, and had a 12.7mm (0.5 in) DShK machine gun instead of the 7.62mm DT machine gun mounted on the T-37 and T-38. The boat-shaped hull was entirely welded, in contrast to the riveted hulls of the T-37 and T-38.
In the 1930s the Soviet Union produced over 1,500 amphibious tanks. Although the T-40 had a superior design compared to the T-37 and T-38, the USSR favoured simpler tank designs due to the pressures of war. Only 222 T-40's were produced.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Vickers Medium Tank MKII
£38.00 GBP
A British medium tank, the Vickers Mark II was developed in the Inter-war period to replace remaining Medium Mark C units, already outmoded by that time. Based on the Vickers Mark I, it surpassed its predecessor in several aspects: it featured an improved suspension, a better placed superstructure and Rackham clutches involving servo-based control. The modifications, however, increased the weight of the vehicle reducing its speed from 24 km/h to 21 km/h.
The Mark II was armed with a 47 mm 3-pounder gun, four machine guns in the turret and two Vickers machine guns, one on either side of the hull. A sloped rear of the turret made it possible to use the machine guns against aircraft.
Both the Mark I and Mark II served in the Royal Tank Regiment until their production was stopped in 1938. Some Mark II's equipped the Mobile Division commanded by Sir Percy Hobart in Egypt, but by the time the Italian invasion began, they were no longer in use. During the threat of German invasion in 1940, some of these tanks were reactivated for a short time.

Meng Model 1:35 - British Heavy Assault Tank A39 Tortoise
Sold Out
In the beginning of 1943, Allied forces were preparing for severe resistance in the planned re-taking of Europe, with the Germans defending from strong fortified positions. As a result, a new class of vehicle was required and entered into development and production, they were called assault tanks. The concept prioritised maximum armour protection over mobility. 25 were ordered for production without prototypes being required but finally the order was reduced to 6 after the war had ended. This design was commissioned in 1943 and 18 variants were prepared by Nuffield Mechanisations and Aero Limited, progressively larger and heavier in concept they were aiming to be ready for the battlefield in September 1945.
Given the structure of the Tortoise it is technically a Self-propelled gun not a tank and had a crew of 7 - a commander, driver, and gunner, with two loaders for the 32-pounder gun and two machine gunners.
The Meng Model British A39 Tortoise Heavy Assault Tank is 293mm long and 111mm wide. The fixed casemate superstructure and weld seams of the fighting compartment make the kit nicely realistic. The 94mm long barrel gun can freely turn and the mantlet is accurate. The travel lock can lock the gun and the machine gun in the front ball mount can freely rotate. Hatches can be open or closed. The four bogies on either side each with two wheels and transverse torsion bar suspension system are faithfully reproduced.

Meng Model 1:35 - French FT-17 Light Tank (Cast Turret) - Plastic model kit #TS-008
The Renault FT, also known as the FT-17, was a French light tank of the late WWI period. Remarkable for its revolutionary design, the FT-17 played an invaluable role in the history of tank development. It was the first tank that featured a revolving turret. The FT-17 had a crew compartment at the front, an engine compartment in the rear, and main armament placed inside of the turret. This configuration became and remains the standard tank design making the FT-17 the first modern tank in the world.
The first FT-17 turrets were made of cast steel and fitted with Hotchkiss 8mm machine guns. However, later the turrets were also adapted to carry 37mm Puteaux small canons.
The FT-17 was mainly deployed by French troops at the late stages of WWI. After the end of the war the tank was exported to many countries including Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Iran and others.

Meng Model 1:35 - German Main Battle Tank Leopard 1 A3/A4 - Plastic model kit #TS-007
The Leopard 1 is a main battle tank which was developed in West Germany and entered production in 1965. The project was commissioned by the Bundeswehr in order to replace the M47 and M48 Patton tanks, already outdated by that time. The project had started as a collaborative program between West Germany, France and Italy, however the partnership ended when the first prototypes were built - Italy and France decided to focus on their own technologies. The German model was designed by Porsche. In total, over 4,000 Leopard battle tanks have been produced, excluding prototypes and anti-aircraft vehicles.
By 1980, several modifications of the Leopard 1 had been issued including the Leopard 1A3 and the Leopard 1A4. The 1A3 version featured a welded turret which was much heavier than the turrets of its predecessors and also had better armour with a wedge-type gun mantlet. The commander's compartment was equipped with an improved TRP 2A independent sight. The 1A4 model was upgraded with a new computerised fire control system and a new sighting system, but in general it was quite similar to the Leopard 1A3.
Exported worldwide, the Leopard series saw action during the Bosnian War, the Kurdish–Turkish conflict and the War in Afghanistan. It still remains in use in a number of countries such as Brazil, Chile, Greece and Turkey.
Kit details:
- Periscopes and lights with clear parts

The German model was designed by Porsche. In total, over 4,000 Leopard battle tanks have been produced, excluding prototypes and anti-aircraft vehicles.
By 1980, several modifications of the Leopard 1 had been issued, however the series required further upgrade. The next version was the Leopard 1A5 equipped with the EMES 18 fire control system and highly effective night/bad-weather vision system. The turret was reconstructed in order to store equipment and ammunition into its rear. The tank was armed with new APFSDS (armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) rounds.
The Leopard 1A5 entered service in 1987. Similar upgrades were implemented on almost all Leopard units that were in use at that time, and today the Leopard 1A5 is considered the "standard" version of the series.

Meng Model 1:35 - King Tiger Sd.Kfz.182 (Henschel Turret) - Plastic model kit #TS-031
The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. Its official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger ("Bengal Tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied troops. The initial design of the Tiger II was developed in 1937 by the Henschel company. Another design was developed by Porsche in 1939, but it was declined due to higher production costs.
Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the sloped armour of the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.
The Tiger II first saw combat during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Fortunately for the Allies, German plants were severely disrupted by Allied bombing, so a relatively small number of Tiger II's were built. Mass production ran from 1944 to the end of the war and only 492 units were produced during that period.
The kit includes parts for the King Tiger Sd.Kfz.182 heavy tank with two different gun mantlets.

Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger (Porsche Turret) - Plastic model kit #TS-037
The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B or the Tiger II 'King Tiger' was a WWII German heavy tank. The tank entered production late in the war although its development started as early as 1937-1939 with design contracts given to Henschel and Porsche. The prototypes built by these companies differed in a number of features including the hull design, the transmission and suspension.
The Porsche designs had a rear-mounted turret and a mid-mounted engine. The suspension on this version was the same as on the Elefant and components of this suspension were later used on a few Jagdtiger tank destroyers. Overall Porsche's design was seen as less conventional and more difficult to produce, and Henschel won the contract.
Production versions of the Tiger II used two different turrets. The initial turret is often called the "Porsche" turret due to the misconception that it was the turret used on the Porsche prototype, as opposed to the more common "production" or "Henschel" turret. In fact both prototypes used the initial Krupp design.
The early turret (the so called "Porsche" turret) had steeply sloped sides, a rounded front and a curved bulge on the left side which proved to be difficult to manufacture. Fifty early Tiger II's used this turret mounted to the Henschel's hull until it was simplified to have less steeply sloped sides and a thicker flat face.

Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Interior (Henschel turret) - Plastic model kit #SPS-037
The Tiger II, or Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, was a German heavy tank of the Second World War. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger, often translated as King Tiger by Allied soldiers.
Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the sloped armour of the Panther tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes. It was protected by 100-180mm armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.

Meng Model 1:35 - Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #TS-018
With the start of the Cold War in the late 1940's the Soviets made a decision to bring into development the IS series of heavy tanks (IS - "Iosif Stalin", Russian for "Joseph Stalin"). Based on the IS-3 model, the first prototypes were designated IS-8 and IS-9. In 1952 the new vehicle was put into production under the name IS-10, however with the beginning of the de-Stalinization period following Stalin's death in 1953 it was renamed the T-10.
The T-10 adopted many features of the earlier IS models, e.g. it was armed with an enhanced 122 mm gun M1931/37 from the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks. The main improvements of the T-10 consisted of a larger turret mount, a better diesel engine, thicker armour and a hull extended to fit an engine cooling system. Also, the T-10 had seven pairs of road wheels unlike the IS-3 which had only six. In general, the T-10 showed similar performance as the IS-3, however it had more room for ammunition. In combat T-10 tanks were mainly used as a support to infantry troops and during breakthrough operations.
The T-10M was an upgraded version of the T-10 which entered production in 1957 at both the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant and the Kirov Plant. The major difference concerned the armament of the tank: the new M-62-TS gun was longer than the previous M1931/37 and featured a unique multi-slotted muzzle brake (a device that reduces recoil of the gun) as well as a fume extractor (a device on the gun barrel that prevents toxic gases from getting inside the vehicle's fighting compartment).
The development of more powerful engines, better suspension systems and light composite armour made it possible to increase tank firepower, armour protection and mobility. These developments allowed for replacing heavy tanks with lighter medium tanks. The T-10 was phased out in the 1960's and, along with the rest of the Soviet heavy tanks, replaced with the T-64, T-72, T-80 and other medium tanks.

Meng Model 1:35 - British Heavy Tank Mk.V Female - Plastic model kit #TS-029
The British heavy tank Mk.V Female, also known as the Mark V, was put into service in 1918, at the end of WWI. Based on the Mark IV, the Mk.V differed greatly from its predecessor: due to Wilson's gearbox the tank required only one man to set it in motion. The main distinctive feature of the exterior was the cooling air system installed on each side of the tank. Besides, the design was improved by a Ricardo engine and an extra machine-gun mount.
The Mark V first saw action during the Australian offensive against the German units in Northern France, called the Battle of Hamel. The tank was also used by both the White Armed Forces in the Russian Civil War and the Red Army afterwards.
Until the end of WWI a total of 400 Mk.V tanks were built, both Males and Females. The Males carried two 57 mm guns and four machine guns, while lighter and smaller Females were armed with six machine guns only.

Sold Out
Meng Model 1:35 - German A7V Tank (Krupp) - Plastic model kit #TS-017
The A7V was a German tank designed in 1916 in response to the first British tanks appearing during WWI on the Western Front. By 1918 twenty armoured vehicles were ready for use on the battlefield. Those were the only German tanks deployed in WWI. In contrast, France produced over 3,600 tanks and the British had over 2,500 units in service.
The dimensions of the A7V were 7.34m x 3m x 3.3m (L x W x H). The tank had steel plate armour, but as the steel was not hardened it could only protect against machine gun or rifle fire and was of little use against larger calibre ammunition. The armament included six MG 08 machine guns and a 5.7 cm Maxim-Nordenfelt cannon. Some of the cannons were trophies taken from British and Russian troops at the early stage of the war.
The A7V had little success in combat so the German General War Department intended to introduce new designs. However, the defeat of Germany and the Versailles Treaty disrupted those plans.

- Accurately represented exterior
- Realistic interior of the fighting compartment and the driver’s compartment

Meng Model 1:35 - M1A1 Abrams TUSK Main Battle Tank - Plastic model kit #TS-032
The M1 Abrams is a modern U.S. third-generation main battle tank. It entered service in 1980 to replace the M60. The M1 is the principal main battle tank of the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps. It is also widely used by the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Iraq.
A modification of the first Abrams model, the M1A1 was introduced in 1986. It was equipped with a M256 120 mm smoothbore gun and a CBRN protection system. The tank first saw combat in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. About 2,000 units took part in the liberation of Kuwait and only 23 of them were totally destroyed. The M1A1 fire could reach the enemy's positions at the range of 2,500 metres. That range was deadly to Iraq's Soviet-era tanks, inferior to the M1A1. In fact, the Abrams tanks could damage Iraqi tanks before they approached close enough to open fire. In 1992 the M1A1 was upgraded to the M1A2 version.
