Over 6,000 Japanese, Koreans, and Americans died on the battlefield at the Atoll.
The Japanese Marines were called the Special Naval Landing Forces (SNLF) and belonged to the IJN Land Forces (IJN - the Imperial Japanese Navy). Formed in the late 1920's, the SNLF initially consisted of sailors with basic infantry skills, not Marines. However, later the training course was improved and the sailors armed with better equipment for maritime operations. When WWII began, there were a total of 16 SNLF units, but 5 more units were formed during the war.
On board the Japanese Imperial Marines wore standard IJN blue or white uniforms. On land the uniform was similar to that of the Imperial Japanese Army (a green tunic with one or two breasted pockets and a stand and fall collar, as well as a white trimmed T-shirt and green long trousers). Also, the Marines wore red thin belts called "Senninbari". Senninbari was believed to bring good luck and protect its wearer from bullets.
About 2,500 men of the 7th Sasebo SNLF took part in the Battle of Tarawa. Together with 2,000 base personnel they killed over 3,000 US Marines.
The kit represents three Japanese Marines armed with 6.5 mm Meiji type 38 rifles and one Japanese marine officer with a sword, all running to attack the enemy. One of the marines has been hit by enemy fire.

Master Box 1:35 - LRDG in North Africa, WWII era - Plastic Figure Model Kit #3598
Originally called the Long Range Patrol (LRP), the unit was founded in Egypt in June 1940 by Major Ralph A. Bagnold, acting under the direction of General Archibald Wavell. Bagnold was assisted by Captain Patrick Clayton and Captain William Shaw. At first the majority of the men were from New Zealand, but they were soon joined by Southern Rhodesian and British volunteers, whereupon new sub-units were formed and the name was changed to the better-known Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The LRDG never numbered more than 350 men, all of whom were volunteers.
The LRDG was formed specifically to carry out deep penetration, covert reconnaissance patrols and intelligence missions from behind Italian lines, although they sometimes engaged in combat operations. Because the LRDG were experts in desert navigation they were sometimes assigned to guide other units, including the Special Air Service and secret agents across the desert. During the Desert Campaign between December 1940 and April 1943, the vehicles of the LRDG operated constantly behind the Axis lines, missing a total of only 15 days during the entire period. Possibly their most notable offensive action was during Operation Caravan, an attack on the town of Barce and its associated airfield, on the night of 13 September 1942. However, their most vital role was the 'Road Watch', during which they clandestinely monitored traffic on the main road from Tripoli to Benghazi, transmitting the intelligence to British Army Headquarters.
With the surrender of the Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943, the LRDG changed roles and moved operations to the eastern Mediterranean, carrying out missions in the Greek islands, Italy and the Balkans. After the end of the war in Europe, the leaders of the LRDG made a request to the War Office for the unit to be transferred to the Far East to conduct operations against the Japanese Empire. The request was declined and the LRDG was disbanded in August 1945.
This kit includes the figures of 5 LRDG soldiers, it does not include the vehicle, the pictured vehicle is a Tamiya 1/35 scale kit.

Master Box 1:35 Volkssturm, Ammunition to the Frontline - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35182
The Volkssturm, a German national militia or 'people's army', was set up by the Nazi Party during the last months of World War II. Its official existence was announced on October 18, 1944, although on paper it had existed since around 1925. Hitler ordered to recruit six million men for the Volkssturm. It was staffed by males between 16 and 60 years old who were not already serving in other military units. However, the intended strength of six million was never attained. Members of the Volkssturm received only basic military training, such as a brief indoctrination and training on the use of basic weapons. Due to the lack of instructors, weapons training was sometimes done by World War I veterans. Aware of the Volkssturm's inability to withstand the attacks of the Allies, Hitler ordered that mixed battle-groups were formed from the members of the 'people's army' along with regular units.

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 - 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.

When Germany started the production of the Panther Ausf. A, Zimmerit was used to cover the metal armour of the vehicles to prevent magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to it. Zimmerit was applied to Panther tanks in different patterns as there was no exact requirement on the appearance of this coating.
Meng has selected four most popular and hard to replicate Zimmerit patterns and created a series of easy to use water slide decals representing those patterns. Use one of them with the TS-035 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Ausf. A (Late) kit to add more realism to your Panther model.

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 Zimmerit Decal
Sold Out
Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Zimmerit Decal - Plastic model kit #SPS-039
Zimmerit was used on WWII German AFVs since 1943 to cover the metal armour of the vehicle to prevent magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to it. Zimmerit had the consistency of a thick paste or putty that after application was patterned and then hardened with a blow torch. This process usually happened at the factory and the patterns could vary depending on where the vehicle was produced. In the late 1944 Zimmerit was discontinued from application due to concerns that it could catch fire.
These water slide decals have a 3D printed texture to replicate Zimmerit applied to the early Kingtigers. This set is perfect for the Kingtiger Sd.Kfz.182 (Henschel Turret) kit from Meng.

Sold Out
Meng Model 1:35 - VsKfz 617 - Plastic model kit #SS-001
The Panzerkampfwagen I Schwere Minenräumer (VsKfz 617) was a German mine sweeper designed during the Second World War on the basis of the Panzer I tank. The sweeper was meant to ensure safety of the German artillery by clearing its path from mines. Its massive wheels were equipped with steel shoes, three of which touched the ground all at once in any wheel position making the VsKfz 617 invulnerable to mine explosion.
Over 6 m long and 2 m wide, the VsKfz 617 weighted 50 tonnes. Its excessive weight and size limited the speed to 15 km/h. Trials proved the sweeper inefficient on battlefield, so only one prototype was built.
Length: 188mm Width: 91.5mm Height: 81.5mm
Additional:
- Movable shoes with metal blocks inside
- Three wheels can be moved and turned freely
- Separate moulding links
- All hatches are designed separately
- Turret, weld lines, rivets precisely represented

Miniart 1:35 - Anti-tank Obstacles - Plastic model kit #35579
The hedgehogs, or Czech hedgehogs, originated in Czechoslovakia and were first used on the country's border with Germany prior to the Munich Agreement and Germany's occupation of the Sudetenland. During WWII these anti-tank obstacles were widely used by the Soviet Union and proved to be especially effective in urban areas to block streets. Germany also used the hedgehogs as part of its defenses of the Atlantic Wall.
The Czech hedgehogs were normally made from sturdy metal, however the Soviet Union sometimes even used wood for this purpose. The obstacles were up to 1.4m high and consisted of 3 pieces of metal angle joined by gusset plates, rivets and bolts.
This kit contains parts for the assembly of 12 models of anti-tank obstacles.
