Trumpeter 1:35 - German Geschutzwagen Tiger Fur 17cm K72 - Plastic model kit #00378
In 1942 the decision was made to build a heavy self-propelled gun carrier for the 17cm Kanone 18 based on the chassis of the Tiger II. The vehicle was named the Geschützwagen Tiger. Its total weight including 8 crew members would reach 60 tons. The armour thickness was 30mm at the front and 16mm on the sides. The Geschützwagen's planned top speed was 45km/h on roads.
The first prototype of this vehicle was tested at the end of WWII, but the tank never saw service due to the defeat of Germany. The partly assembled prototype was found by Allied troops in Haustenbeck in 1945.

Tamiya 1:35 - German Panther Type G Tank Steel Wheel
Sold Out
The German Panther tank was produced from 1943 until the end of WWII and deployed on the Eastern and Western Fronts in Europe. The tank was developed as a replacement for the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks and was intended to counter the Soviet T-34. The Panther had a powerful 700hp Maybach engine and a turret placed far back on the hull mounting a 75mm L/70 cannon. The Panther's excellent firepower and protection made it one of the best tanks of World War II. The Panther was easier to produce and maintain than the Tiger I, but it is often considered to be as effective as the latter. The Ausf.G included versions with heater unit installed over the left engine fan, and with lower lip piece added to the mantlet to eliminate shot trap.

Takom 1:35 Chieftain Mk.5 Main Battle Tank MBT

Takom 1:35 - Chieftain Mk.5 Main Battle Tank MBT - Plastic model kit #02027
The Chieftain was the main battle tank of the British army between the 1960's and 1980's and is still in service today with Iran. Due to its powerful armament and effective armour the tank quickly became known as one of the most formidable tanks in the world (Source: Janes Defence). Based on the Centurion, the Chieftain design was remarkable for the supine (upward facing) driver position which allowed for a heavy slope of the hull resulting in reduced height of the vehicle. The tank road speed was 48 km/h which was higher than the speed of its predecessor.
The Chieftain Mk.1 was the initial model of the series. It was used as a training vehicle by both the 1st and the 5th Royal Tank Regiments. The next, the Mk.2 became the first service version.
The Chieftain front armour was 388 mm on the glacis (sloped armour plate) and 390 mm on the turret. The turret was constructed without a gun mantlet in order to make it possible for the vehicle to recline up to ten degrees. The armament included one L11A5 rifled gun and two L7 machine guns.
The tanks of the series first saw combat in the Middle East. They were widely deployed by the Iranian troops during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980's and over a hundred of units served with the Kuwaiti army at the time of the Iraqi Invasion in 1990.
The Chieftain was successful on the battlefield and had potential for further development. The series underwent continuous updates during its service until it was replaced with the Challenger 1 in the early 1990's. Nowadays the tank is still used by the Iranian army.
The Chieftain Mk.5 was one of the improved models that belonged to the Chieftain line. It featured a larger engine and was equipped with an NBC protection system. Today a former Iranian Mk.5 unit is displayed at the Kubinka Tank Museum in Russia.
Kit details:
- Detailed static display plastic model

Takom 1:35 British Mk.IV Male "Tadpole" w/Workable tracks
Sold Out
Takom 1:35 - British Mk IV Male "Tadpole" with workable tracks and wheels - Plastic model kit #02015
The Mark IV was a British tank of World War I issued in 1917. Derived from the world's first tank, the Mark I, the Mk.IV was considerably improved in both structure and armour, it was also easier to transport.
The Mark IV was introduced in two variants, a "Male" and a "Female". The Mk.IV Male was powered with three Lewis machine guns and two QF 6-pounder 6 cwt guns. The Female carried five machine guns, two of which were operated by the gun loaders.
Over a thousand Mk.IV-s were built in wartime, including Males, Females and utility vehicles, thus the series was the most produced British tank of WWI. It first saw combat at the Battle of Messines Ridge and continued to serve with British forces throughout the entire war.
During that period several attempts were made to improve the tank performance. In order to enhance its trench-crossing ability the Mk.IV was supplemented with the so-called "tadpole tail", an extension to its rear track horns. However, the tail lacked rigidity so the innovation was dropped. No Mk.IV "Tadpoles" were used on the battlefield.
The kit includes:
- 508 plastic parts
- 240 individual track links

Revell 1:35 Tiger II Ausf. B (Henschel Turret)
£27.00 GBP
Revell 1:35 - Tiger II Ausf. B (Henschel Turret) - Plastic Model Kit #03249
Tiger II was a German heavy tank of the Second World War officially designated the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B. Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the armour slope of the Panther medium tank. The maximum thickness of its front armour was 185 mm and the weight reached 70 tonnes. The armament consisted of the long barrelled 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.
The initial design of the Tiger II was developed in 1937 by the Henschel company. It featured a hull with sloped armour, a rear-mounted engine and overlapping steel-tired road wheels, 80 cm in diameter. Another design was developed by Porsche in 1939, but it was declined due to large production costs.
The Tiger II first saw combat during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. On the Eastern Front it was first used by the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion. Fortunately for the Allies, German plants suffered great losses because of the 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.

Revell 1:35 - SPz Marder IA3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle - Plastic Model Kit #03261
The German Marder is an infantry fighting vehicle which has served as the main weapon of the Panzergrenadiere since the 1970s. The Marder 1A3 has been the most commonly used version of the vehicle in service with the Bundeswehr. It is equipped with the 20 mm Rheinmetall MK 20 Rh202 autocannon as its main armament, and a 7.62 mm MG3 machine gun is mounted to the left of the cannon. The vehicle normally carries six missiles and a MILAN missile launcher can be attached to its turret. Marder 1A1 and 1A2 also had two gun ports on each side of the vehicle for additional fire against infantry targets. The 1A3 version has an extra layer of armour and storage boxes on the outside, and therefore does not have the gun ports.
The Marder has proven to be a successful IFV, but the aging design is currently being replaced by the Puma. The replacement began in 2010 and is scheduled to be completed by 2020.
This kit includes 182 parts.

Revell 1:35 - German Sd.Kfz.167 StuG IV - Plastic Model Kit #03255
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. Its armament consisted of a 7.5cm StuK 40 L / 48 assault cannon and 7.92mm MG 34 machine gun. 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.

Miniart 1:35 T-44 Soviet Medium Tank
£46.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - T-44 Soviet Medium Tank - Plastic model kit #35193
The T-44 was a Soviet medium tank first produced near the end of the Second World War. Compared to its predecessor, the T-34, this model had greater armour and improved ride and cross-country performance. By the time the T-44 was fully tested, the T-34 was equipped with the same 85mm main gun. Therefore the main focus of the Soviet Union was to increase the production of T-34's rather than introducing the T-44. Overall less than 2,000 T-44's were built, and although these tanks were available by the end of the war, they were not used in combat. During the war the Soviet Union started working on a slightly enlarged version of the T-44. This newer design entered production in 1947 as the T-54/55 - one of the most-produced tanks in military history.

Miniart 1:35 Scout Car Dingo Mk IA w/Crew
£32.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - Scout Car Dingo Mk IA w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35087
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 303 parts.
Includes parts for one armoured car and two figures.

Miniart 1:35 - Personenwagen Typ 170V Saloon (Special Edition) - Plastic model kit #35203
The Mercedes-Benz W136 was Mercedes-Benz's line of inline-four cylinder automobiles from the mid-1930s into the 1950s. The model 170V made its public debut in February 1936. Between 1936 and 1939 it was Mercedes' top selling model. Between 1936 and 1942 over 75,000 were built. Most of the cars produced were two or four door "Limousine" (saloon/sedan bodied cars).
The "V" in the 170 V's was an abbreviation of "Vorn" (front), added to differentiate it from the contemporary rear-engined Mercedes-Benz 170H (W28) ("H" for "Heck", rear) which used the same four cylinder 1697cc engine, but positioned at the back of the car.
The kit contains 267 parts.

Most of the cars produced were two or four door "Limousine" (saloon/sedan bodied cars), but the range of different body types offered in the 1930s for the 170V was unusually broad. A four-door "Cabrio-Limousine" combined the four doors of the four door "Limousine" with a full length foldaway canvas roof.
There was a two door two seater "Cabriolet A" and a two door four seater "Cabriolet B" both with luggage storage behind the seats and beneath the storage location of the hood when folded (but without any external lid for accessing the luggage from outside the car). A common feature of the 170V bodies was external storage of the spare wheel on the car's rear panel.

Miniart 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer SU-76(r) w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35053
It was common for the German army to use captured vehicles in battle. The SU-76 was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. Its German designation was Jagdpanzer SU-76. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 light tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
The SU-76M virtually replaced infantry tanks in the close support role. Its thin armour and open top made it vulnerable to antitank weapons, grenades, and small arms. Its light weight and low ground pressure gave it good mobility.
The kit contains 588 parts.
Includes parts for one tank and five figures.

Miniart 1:35 AEC Mk. III Armoured Car
£45.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - AEC Mk. III Armoured Car - Plastic Model Kit #35159
AEC Armoured Car was developed by AEC (Associated Equipment Company) as a private venture with an aim to obtain an order from the Army. When the vehicle was shown to officials at the Horse Guards Parade in London in 1941, it made an impression on Winston Churchill and it was decided to put the AEC Car into production. A total of 629 vehicles were produced until 1944, which included three variants - Mk. I, Mk. II and Mk. III.
No other WWII armoured car was armed and armoured as heavily as the AEC Armoured Car. The Mk. III version was equipped with a ROQF 75 mm (2.95 in) main gun, and its frontal armor was 65 mm thick. The vehicle's protection was superior to any other British armoured car at the time.
Most Mk. 3's were used in Western Europe, Northern France and the Low Countries. The AEC Armoured Car remained in service until 1958.

Miniart 1:35 - US Tractor D7 with Angled Dozer Blade - Plastic model kit #35184
The D7 was a medium bulldozer deployed by the US Army during WWII. It was produced by Caterpillar Inc., in 1938 and as such was also known as the Caterpillar D7.
During WWII, D7 tractors with blades were often used for earthworks. However, they also served for moving military equipment, when the blades were removed. There were four variants for the blades: a straight blade (S-blade), a universal blade (U-blade), an S-U combination blade and an angled blade. The angled blade was attached to the bulldozer C-frame and had three set positions: right angle, left angle, and centred.
The further development of the series was marked by the appearance of the D7D, D7E, D7F, D7G, D7H and D7R models. The latest version of the tractor was introduced in 2008. It was the D7E bulldozer improved with a 235 hp diesel engine.

Miniart 1:35 - T-60 Early Series with Interior - Plastic Model Kit #35215
The T-60 was a Soviet light tank of WWII aimed to replace the T-38 amphibious tank, outdated by that time. The prototype for the T-60, the T-30B, was built at Moscow Factory No. 37. It had the T-40's chassis and was equipped with heavier armour, yet it was easier to construct overall. The T-30B was commissioned to production under the name T-60 in 1941 and was produced until 1942. During the year of production over six thousand T-60 tanks were issued.
Initially the T-60 was armed with a 20mm TNSh cannon (a tank version of the ShVAK aircraft auto-cannon) which could pierce 15mm armour at the distance of 500m. That range was insufficient against contemporary German tanks so the 37mm ZIS-19 cannon was offered as a replacement. However, it turned out to be impossible to re-arm the tank as 37mm ammunition was scarce in the USSR at that time.
During the war, the Germans managed to capture several T-60 tanks and used them under the name Panzerkampfwagen T-60 743(r).

Miniart 1:35 - T-60 (Plant No. 264) Stalingrad w/Interior - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35219
The T-60 was a Soviet light tank produced in 1941-1942. The production of the T-60 started just after the German invasion of the Soviet Union. This scout tank was armed with a 20 mm TNSh cannon which later proved to be inefficient against new German tanks. In 1942 it was attempted to substitute the cannon with the 37 mm ZIS-19 but this did not happen due to the shortage of 37 mm ammunition. The T-60 was then replaced by the new T-70 light tank.
A total of 6,292 T-60 tanks were built. 1186 of those were produced at Plant No. 264 located near Stalingrad in 1941 and 1942.

Miniart 1:35 - T-55 Soviet Tank Mod. 1963 with Interior - Plastic Figure Model Kit #37018
The production of T-55 started in January 1958 at Uralvagonzavod. Compared to the T-54, this tank had a number of differences, the main ones being NBC protection and a new engine. Overtime the T-54's were modernised and together with T-55's they formed the T-54/55 series. These tanks became the most inexpensive MBTs which together with their reliability led to the highest number of exports among any modern tanks in history.

The T-54-3 belonged to the T-54 family of Soviet main battle tanks issued right after the end of the Second World War. Having taken parts in many conflicts during the latter half of the 20th century, the T-54 became the leading tank of the Soviet Army, armies of the Warsaw Pact countries and others. The T-54 series was later replaced from Russian service by the T-62, T-64, T-80 and other tanks, however it is still used by the armies of up to 50 other nations.
The T-54-3 was an modified version of the earlier T-54-2 main battle tank. It featured an improved turret without side undercuts and the new TSh-2-22 telescopic gunner's sight. The tank was also equipped with the TDA smoke-generating system.

The Soviet T-54 main battle tank was introduced after the Second World War with the first prototype built in 1945. Production started in 1948 with the T-54-1, and in 1949 the Soviet Union launched the modernised version of the tank, the T-54-2. It had a modified turret inspired by the heavy IS-3 tank, the tracks were expanded to 480mm which helped reduce ground pressure, and the thickness of frontal upper plate was decreased to 100mm. In 1949-1951 the Stalin Ural Tank Factory No. 183 had built over 1200 T-54-2's before the next modernisation phase took place.

£58.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - T-54-1 Soviet Medium Tank with Interior - Plastic Figure Model Kit #37003
The T-54-1 was the first battle tank of the T-54 series developed on the basis of T-44 prototypes after the end of the Second World War. Its production started with 3 vehicles built in 1946. By 1948 the output volume grew significantly, however production was stopped due to poor factory conditions. After a year it was relaunched, but already with an improved T-54-2 version.
At the final stage of the war Soviet engineers sought for replacement of the T-34 and T-44 lines with a vehicle which could carry a 100 mm gun. Their attempts resulted in a new model designated T-54. It was widely deployed by the Soviet Army and the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries throughout the later part of the 20th century. Experts estimate that during that time over 80 thousand of units were issued which makes the T-54 the most extensively used tank in military history.

Miniart 1:35 - GAZ-AAA With Shelter - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35183
In 1932, under the agreement with the Ford Motor Company a Soviet automobile-manufacturing plant located in Nizhny Novgorod developed its first two vehicles - Ford Model A and Ford Model AA. They were sold as NAZ-A and NAZ-AA respectively. In 1933, the plant was renamed from NAZ (Nizhegorodsky Avtomobilny Zavod, 'Nizhny Novgorod Automobile Plant') to GAZ (Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod, 'Gorky Automobile Plant'). The vehicles' names were then changed to GAZ-A and GAZ-AA.
The 3-axle GAZ-AAA 6x4 truck was a successor of the 2-axle GAZ-AA. Its production ran from 1934 until 1943. Compared to the GAZ-AA, this vehicle was slightly slower and heavier, but its load capacity increased from 1.5 to 2 tons.

A modified version of the M1A1, the M1A2 features a commander's independent thermal sight, fire control console, and modern navigational devices. The SEP stands for the System Enhancement Package that allowed upgrades for the tank with digital mapping, the FBCB2 platform and a better cooling system. Later the M1A2 was equipped with the Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK) aimed to improve combat capabilities in urban areas and provide protection against rocket-propelled grenades. Despite the recent appearance of more advanced M1 Abrams versions, the M1A2 is planned to be used by the US Army until at least 2050.

£58.00 GBP
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.
Meng Model 1:35 - Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank
£58.00 GBP
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.

The GAZ Tigr ("Тигр", or "Tigr" is Russian for Tiger) is a modern Russian infantry mobility vehicle (IMV) produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ) in Nizhny Novgorod. Production started in 2006 and in the same year the vehicle was introduced into service with the Russian Army.
The main functions of the Tigr are to transport troops and equipment both on and off-road. Designed to operate in various terrains and extreme weather conditions, the Tigr performs well in mountain, arctic and desert environments. Minimum operating temperature is -50°C. The vehicle construction consists of a chassis frame, a front engine compartment, a middle crew compartment and a rear cargo area that can store up to 500 kg. The PKP Pecheneg machine gun is installed as its main armament.
The Tigr-M, a more advanced Tigr version, was issued in 2010. It features a more powerful diesel engine from the Yaroslavl Motor Plant, additional armour hood for the armament and the NBC protection system (a system that could neutralize nuclear, biological and chemical threats). Three years later the new model was officially adopted into service. In 2017 the Tigr-M was upgraded with a remotely controlled weapon module "Arbalet-DM" which includes the Pecheneg machine gun and the Kord machine gun.
Apart from the Russian Army, Tigr vehicles are deployed by the armed forces of other countries including Syria, Armenia, Kazakhstan and others.

Meng Model 1:35 - German Main Battle Tank Leopard 1A5 - Plastic model kit #TS-015
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, 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 - 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.

Master Box 1:35 - German Military Car, Mercedes-Benz Type 170V, Tourenwagen (4 doors) 1937-1940 - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35100
The Mercedes-Benz W136 was Mercedes-Benz's line of inline-four cylinder automobiles from the mid-1930s into the 1950s. Between 1936 and 1939 it was Mercedes' top selling model. Between 1936 and 1942 over 75,000 were built making it by far the most popular Mercedes-Benz model up till that point.
Enough of the W136's tooling survived Allied bombing during World War II (or could be recreated post-war) for it to serve as the foundation upon which the company could rebuild. By 1947 the model 170V had resumed its place as Mercedes' top-seller, a position it held until 1953.
The "V" in the 170V's was an abbreviation of "Vorn" (front), added to differentiate it from the contemporary rear-engined Mercedes-Benz 170H (W28) ("H" for "Heck", rear) which used the same four cylinder 1697cc engine, but positioned at the back of the car.

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.

HobbyBoss 1:35 US GMC CCKW-352 Steel Cargo Truck
£49.00 GBP
The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2.5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.

HobbyBoss 1:35 U.S. GMC CCKW 750 gallon Tanker Version
£43.00 GBP
The GMC CCKW was a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck used in the Second World War and the Korean War. It's often referred to as a "Deuce and a Half" or "Jimmy". The CCKW came in many variants which had an open or closed cab, and a Long Wheel Base (LWB 353) or a Short Wheel Base (SWB 352). Initially all versions had a closed cab, a metal roof and doors, and steel cargo beds. As the war progressed, an open cab version was designed. It had fixed 'half doors', canvas top and sides, and the steel bed was replaced by a wooden one in order to conserve steel. The wooden bed proved unsatisfactory and led to the development of a 'composite' bed with steel sides and framing along with wooden slats for the bed.

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 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-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-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-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.
