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.
The kit contains 934 plastic parts.

The M113 is an American armoured personnel carrier (APC) that was introduced in the 1960's and first saw action with the US Army during the Vietnam War. The carrier featured aluminium armour that significantly reduced its weight, improved its amphibious performance, and also was able to stop small arms fire. The most extensively deployed armoured carrier of the US Army in Vietnam, the M113 was nicknamed "Green Dragon" by Viet Cong as it was able to move through thick undergrowth and jungle in order to attack enemy positions.
The M113 had many modifications adapted for the use in various countries. Over 80,000 M113s of all types have been used around the world, as such the vehicle is considered the most widespread armoured carrier ever produced. In the US Army the M113 has already been phased out, but a number of units still serve as utility vehicles.
The M113A1 model was issued in 1964. Unlike the original version equipped with a gasoline engine, the M113A1 was powered by a 215 hp diesel engine. The suffix A1 became the designation of diesel-engined vehicles of the series.

The M60A2 was an updated version of the M60 Patton main battle tank developed by the USA in the Cold War era. Redesigned many times during its term of service, the M60 series was popular with the US Army and among US Cold War allies.
Appearing during the 'Space Age', the M60A2 got the nickname 'Starship'. The tank was equipped with a 152 mm gun which could fire both artillery shells and the Shillelagh antitank missiles. It also had a machine-gun cupola giving it a good view on the battlefield.
Nevertheless, the M60A2 showed poor results in combat and was quickly replaced by its later modifications.
AK Interactive - Vietnam Colours Set
£8.00 GBP
This set contains three colours for recreating the camouflage of vehicles used by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. The Olive Drab is common for many U.S. Army vehicles. The special Forest Green is used by the Marine Corps. The Light Green colour is intended for painting the interior of the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier.
These acrylics can be applied with a brush or an airbrush. They are water soluble and therefore do not have strong odours, as with more aggressive solvent-based paints. A special AK Interactive formula prevents airbrush clogging.

-AK4012 APC Interior Light Green
-AK4013 USMC Forest Green
