Revell 1:35 - German Staff Car Type 82E - Plastic Model Kit #03247
The German Staff Car Type 82, also known as Volkswagen Kübelwagen, was a light combat vehicle developed by Ferdinand Porsche and produced by Volkswagen during World War II for the needs of the German armed forces.
The first prototype designed in 1938 was designated Type 62. Due to its light weight and strong off-road characteristics, the vehicle was approved for further development. In 1939 first pre-production models were put to the test during the invasion of Poland. In general, the vehicle performed well on the battlefield, however some changes were required. The improvements concerned the lowest speed - it was reduced from 8 km/h to 4 km/h. The new version was named Type 82.
The Type 82 extensive production started in 1940 and lasted till the end of the war. A few modified models appeared during that period including Type 82E. It had the traditional Volkswagen Beetle body instead of the box-shaped standard one. Also, the Type 82E was powered with the air-cooled flat 4-cylinder engine.
By the end of the production in 1945, over 50 thousand Kübelwagen vehicles were built. Type 82 is considered one of the most useful and dependable vehicles of WWII.

Harley-Davidson began the production of the WLA in 1940, and the later entry of the U.S. into the war significantly increased production volumes. Over 90,000 WLA's were built during the WWII. A similar WLA variant was produced for the Canadian Army, and smaller numbers were supplied to the UK, South Africa, and other allies.

Miniart 1:35 - Soviet GAZ-AA Cargo Truck - Plastic model kit #35124
A truck from Ford, Ford Model AA, was produced from 1927 till 1932. The vehicle was powered by a 3.3L I4 engine which produced a maximum of 40 horsepower at 2,200 rpm. It was designed to replace the T and TT models. The truck was available in a variety of body styles.
Ford licensed the production of the Model AA to several countries, including the Soviet Union. From 1932 to 1950 the USSR manufactured over 985,000 AA's, designated the GAZ AA. The cargo capacity of the Soviet model was 1,500 kg. Another version of this truck with a stronger 50HP engine is often called GAZ–MM, after the engine.

Designed by Birmingham Small Arms Company, the Dingo was produced by Daimler in 1939. It had two man crew and was used as a reconnaissance vehicle. Its key advantages included the special gearbox, which allowed five speeds in both directions, and a four-wheel steering system, which gave a turning circle of 7 m. The Dingo first saw action with British troops in the Battle of France. It remained in British service till 1952 with over 6,000 units produced by that time.
The kit contains 204 parts.
Includes parts for the assembly of one armoured car and three figures.

Miniart 1:35 Dingo MK IB British Armoured Car w/Crew
Sold Out
Miniart 1:35 - Dingo MK IB British Armoured Car w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35067
The Dingo was a British light two-man armoured car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armour was thin, just enough to stand against infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armoured sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four opening hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredibly long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five forward gears and five reverse gears, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7m (23 ft), but the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design with front-wheel steering was chosen.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride. There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (cal 0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions.
The Dingo was produced from 1939 to 1945, and remained virtually unaltered. The Mark IB was the third variant of the series. It had a reverse cooling air flow and new armoured grilles for the radiator, allowing better ventilation. The bulk of these vehicles served in the Libyan desert.
This kit represents a British Dingo MK IB armoured car and three British crew-members: a driver, an observer and an officer. All three figures are dressed in British desert uniforms and armed with holstered revolvers. The officer has a pair of binoculars, a water bottle and a map case.
The kit contains 218 parts.

Meng Model 1:35 German A7V Tank (Krupp)
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.

- Realistic interior of the fighting compartment and the driver’s compartment

Meng Model 1:35 - US M2A3 Bradley with Busk III IFV (Full Interior) - Plastic model kit #SS-004
The M2A3 Bradley is an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) that belongs to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle family. Derived from the M2 Bradely series, the M2A3 features a number of upgrades concerning both electronics and fire-suppression systems, armour, target detection, fire control and navigation. The vehicle is also equipped with the Bradley Urban Survivability Kit III (BUSK III) and the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) system. The BUSK III protects the optics from scratches, provides insulation from electricity and includes additional armour. The FBCB2 allows tracking of friendly and enemy forces on the battlefield.
The M2A3 Bradley is intended to perform both reconnaissance and operations requiring a high degree of manoeuvrability and protect the crew from small arms fire. Its armament includes a 25 mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun, a 7.62 mm M240C machine gun and an anti-tank missile launcher.
Due to its upgraded equipment and high survivability rate, the M2A3 Bradley is considered the most advanced infantry fighting vehicle of the US Army. It was widely deployed by American troops during the Iraq War between 2003 and 2011.

£56.00 GBP
Meng Model 1:35 - US Cougar 6 x 6 MRAP Vehicle - Plastic model kit #SS-005
The Cougar is a wheeled armoured personnel carrier able to withstand land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). It also protects both the crew and engine compartment against various attacks (including small arms fire) and overheating in desert environments.
The Cougar was developed in 2004 due to the urgent demand of the US Marine Corps. Based on South African design of the 1970's, the new vehicle featured the latest advancements of the US military including breakthrough technology in mine-protection.
About four thousand of Cougars were issued under the US MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) programme. The carrier is remarkable for its high reliability and safety level resulting in low mortality rate among crew members after IED attacks. The Cougar was widely deployed during the Iraq War and still serves with the armies of the United States, Canada, Poland, Italy and other countries.

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 - 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.

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 - Defender 110 Hard Top
Sold Out
The Land Rover Defender was a British 4-wheel sports utility vehicle designed on the basis of the earlier Land Rover Series issued between 1948 and 1985.
The Defender entered production in 1983 under the name of Land Rover 110 which referred to the length of its wheelbase (110 inches or 280 cm). In 1984 the model was improved with wind-up windows and a 2.5-litre diesel engine with the power of 51 kW (68 hp) replacing older 2.3-litre engines. The designation "Defender" was introduced only in late 1990's. At that time 2.5-litre engines evolved into new turbo diesel 200TDi series, however the Defenders for military use were still equipped with 2.5-litre ones.
The Defender 110 was in service with the British and the Commonwealth Armies between 1950's and 1990's. It was also deployed by the US forces during the Gulf War in 1990-1991.

The Sd.Kfz.2 Kleines Kettenkraftrad was originally designed as a light tractor for airborne troops, but it quickly gained widespread use amongst German troops. Designed and patented in 1939, the vehicle was first used during in the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The Sd.Kfz.2 was also used in the North African theater and on the Western Front. The Kettenkrad was steered like a motorbike, but also had twin track runs at the rear. In total, over 8,000 examples of this vehicle were manufactured.
This is a detailed kit for creating an Early-Production Sd.Kfz.2 with interior. The kit also includes a driver and an infanteriekarren (‘infantry cart’).
Academy 1:35 M18 Hellcat (ACA01375)
Sold Out
Academy 1:35 - M18 Hellcat (ACA01375) - Plastic model kit #13255
The American M18 Hellcat, officially known as the 76 mm Gun Motor Carriage M18, was a tank destroyer actively used by the U.S. troops at the Italian and North-West European fronts during World War II. Due to its light armour, roofless turret and small overall size, the M18 Hellcat was one of the fastest tank destroyers produced in the U.S., and thus gained the reputation of the most efficient American armoured vehicle of World War II.
However, the open turret which provided for the high velocity, could not provide the crew with proper protection against enemy shells. In addition, the 76 mm gun power was not enough to cause any serious damage in German Tiger and Panther tanks. Later, as a solution to this problem, High Velocity Armour Piercing ammunition was added to the Hellcat design thus improving its penetration abilities.
Once the war ended, plenty of M18 tank destroyers were acquired by other countries such as Yugoslavia, China and Venezuela.

Academy 1:35 - M4A3 76mm US Army "Battle of the Bulge" - Plastic Figure Model Kit #13500
The Medium Tank M4 Sherman was commonly used by the United States and other Western Allies during WWII. The tank was produced in large numbers, with thousands distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth and Soviet Union. The British called the M4 'Sherman' after the American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman.
During the Second World War, about 19,247 Sherman tanks were issued to the US Army and about 1,114 to the US Marine Corps. Moreover, the U.S. supplied 17,184 tanks to Great Britain, some of which went to the Canadians and the Free Poles. The Soviet Union received 4,102 vehicles and an estimated 812 were transferred to China. These tanks were distributed to the respective countries' allied nations.
The M4A3 was a sub-type of the Sherman tank. It featured a welded hull and was powered by a Ford GAA engine. Its armament consisted of a 76mm cannon and a 12.7mm machine gun. This variant was mainly deployed by the US Army with only a few units sent to France and Nicaragua. A number of these tanks took part at the Battle of Bulge in December 1944.

Dragon 1:35 - DAK Kubelwagen with Officers - Plastic Model Kit #6364
Kübelwagen was a WWII German light military vehicle used by both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. It was produced by Volkswagen from February 1940 until the end of the war and came in a number of types and variants.
Kübelwagens were simple, reliable and showed good cross-country performances. They served on all fronts with the German Army until the end of WWII and after. The vehicles were not armoured or armed, and were used mostly as staff cars. For rainy weather Kübelwagens used a folding canvas roof. The vehicles withstood the hot climate of North Africa without problems.
This kit contains over 160 parts for the assembly of one Kübelwagen and four German officers in North Africa.

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.

Trumpeter 1:35 - German Super Heavy Jagdpanzer E-100 - Plastic model kit #01596
The Entwicklung series (German for "development"), shortened to E-Series, was a family of late WWII German tanks that were planned to be developed according to a standardised design. This was an attempt to stop the production of extremely complex and mechanically unreliable tanks in favour of cheaper, simpler and more efficient designs. However, the E-Series tanks featured only small modifications in armour and gun power compared to their predecessors which they were intended to replace.
The E-100 was one of the latest tanks of the E-Series. Based on the Tiger-Maus design that combined features of the Tiger II and the Maus, the E-100 prototype was constructed in 1944. However, further development was practically ended right after Hitler had issued the order to stop the Maus project.
Initially, a 75mm coaxial gun similar to the one from the Maus was meant to serve as the vehicle's armament, but later it was decided to choose a 170mm anti-tank gun in order to save more space for the crew and equipment. Another advantage of the 170mm gun was that it could shoot armour piercing projectiles at the range of up to 4 km. The speed of the tank was expected to reach 40 km/h.

The Jagdpanzer 38 (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as the Hetzer ("pursuer/hunter"), was a German light tank destroyer, based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis, inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.
The Jagdpanzer 38 Starr ("Starr" means "rigid" in German) was a simplified version of the Jagdpanzer 38, first built in 1944. It was armed with the 75mm Pak 39 recoilless gun, while the original Hetzer used a traditional 75mm Pak 39 gun. First prototypes of the Hetzer-Starr were equipped with Tatra 928 diesel engines, however later they were replaced with standard engines. Several Hetzer-Starrs were used during the Prague uprising in 1945. Overall 10 vehicles of this type were built, 9 of them were later converted back to the normal Jagdpanzer 38. The remaining prototype was destroyed at the end of the war.

The T26E4 was a development of the M26 armed with a more powerful, long-barreled 90mm main gun. This gun was superior to the one found on the King Tiger heavy tank and could penetrate the Panther's frontal armour from long distances. The first T26E4 was sent to the European front in 1945. Subsequent models featured various improvements such as a modified gun mount.

The German heavy tank destroyer Elefant was armed with a powerful 8.8cm L/71 gun which could knock out T-34 tanks at a distance of 2,000m, protected by armour up to 200mm thick, and equipped with advanced features such as a hybrid drivetrain. It had its roots in the Porsche-designed Ferdinand, which was first deployed into combat during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. The lessons learned from that battle resulted in modifications including the addition of a commander's cupola, a machine gun for infantry defence, and better tracks and the enhanced vehicle received the new designation Elefant in February 1944. Elefants were deployed to Italy and the Eastern Front, where they continued to defend against Allied forces until the final skirmishes of the war.

Revell 1:35 - Armoured Scout Vehicle P204 (f) - Plastic Model Kit #03259
The Panhard 178 or "Pan-Pan" was a French four-cylinder armoured car designed for the French Cavalry in 1932 and aimed to function as a long-range scout vehicle. It had room for four crew members and was fitted with 25 mm armament and 7.5 mm machine gun.
As a reconnaissance car, the Panhard 178 was rather small, only 4.8 m long and 2.3 m high. Despite its weight of over 8 tonnes, the vehicle was still able to reach speeds of over 70 km/h. However, its off-road speed was limited to 42 km/h.
At the outbreak of the Second World War a number of Panhards were captured by German troops and renamed Panzerspähwagen P204 (f). In 1941 at least 190 units were manufactured for use in Operation Barbarossa.
The Panhard 178 design was considered advanced for its time and remained modern long after the war. It was the first four-cylinder armoured car mass-produced in France.

Sold Out
Miniart 1:35 - Daimler Dingo British Scout Car Mk III w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35077
The Dingo was a British light two-man armoured car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armour was thin, just enough to stand against infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armoured sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four opening hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredible long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five forward gears and five reverse gears, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7m (23 ft), but the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design with front-wheel steering was chosen for the Mk.II.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride. There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (cal 0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions.
The Dingo was produced from 1939 to 1945, and remained virtually unaltered.
The Mark I had a flexible sliding roof and the all-wheel steering. It was difficult to handle for inexperienced drivers.
The Mark IA was a sub-variant equipped with a folding roof.
The Mark IB had a reverse cooling air flow and new armored grilles for the radiator, allowing better ventilation. The bulk of these vehicles served in the Libyan desert.
The Mark II had a revised steering system, using only the front wheels. The lighting equipment was modernised, altogether with the Mark IB modification range.
The Mark III was the final version, coming in 1944 with a waterproof ignition system and no roof at all.
The kit contains 262 parts.
Includes parts for one armoured car and three figures.

The Mk. III Valentine was a British infantry tank produced during World War II. The tank had many variants, and over 8000 vehicles of this type were produced. There are several versions of why the tank was called "Valentine", most popular being that the design was presented to the War Office on the 14th of February.
Initially Vickers produced 10 tanks per month, rising to 45 per month, and peaking at 20 per week in 1943. Production of the Valentine and vehicles based on the Valentine stopped in 1945. A total of 2,515 vehicles were produced by Vickers-Armstrong, and 2,135 were manufactured by Metropolitan. The Mk. III Valentine was also built under licence in Canada, with 1,420 vehicles produced. Most of these tanks were sent to the Soviet Union.
The British Army used the Valentine in the North African Campaign. As for the Soviet service, the tank was used from the Battle of Moscow until the end of the war.

Miniart 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. C - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35166
The Panzerkampfwagen III, widely known as the Panzer III, was a German medium tank produced by the Daimler-Benz AG in the 1930's. According to the Army Weapons Department plans, the Panzer III was aimed to serve as the main battle tank of the German Panzer divisions. It was meant to fight enemy tank forces with the support of the Panzer IV which was intended to neutralise anti-tank guns.
The Panzer III was able to reach speeds up to 40 km/h by road and 20 km/h off road. Its armament included one 37 mm KwK 36 L/45 cannon and two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns. Compared to its successors, the Ausf. G and Ausf. J, the Panzer III featured a relatively thin armour (15 mm). It had space for five crew members.
When the Soviet T-34 first appeared on the battlefield, the Germans saw the urgent need for a more powerful anti-tank gun. The decision was made to redesign the Panzer IV as it had more potential for further development. The Ausf. C soon became outdated and its production ended in 1943. The tank was deployed in several German campaigns of the early war period including the September Campaign in Poland, the Fall of France and Operation Barbarossa.
The kit contains 1047 plastic parts. It is the first plastic model of the Pz. Kpfw. III Ausf. C.

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.

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:

Meng Model 1:35 - D9R Armoured Bulldozer - Plastic model kit #SS-002
Designed and manufactured by Caterpillar Inc., the D9 bulldozer is equipped with a large blade and a rear ripper attachment, and weighs 49 tons. Due to its size and reliability, it has become one of the most popular track-type tractors in the world. The Caterpillar does not manufacture a military version of the D9, but the bulldozer has still been used in military operations, for instance during the Vietnam War the US Army used D9's to clear forests.
The Israeli Defense Forces acquired a number of these bulldozers and modified them for military combat engineering use. The Israeli Armoured bulldozer D9R is used by the IDF Combat Engineering Corps for combat engineering and counter-terrorism operations. Currently about 100 D9R armoured bulldozers are in service with Israel. In 2003 US Army and Marine Corps acquired a total of 14 D9R armored bulldozers from the IDF for deployment in Iraq.

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.
