Bronco 1/35 Canadian Cruiser Tank RAM MK.II Early Production
$59.75
-The United Kingdom had planned to produce M3 tanks in Canada, but M3 was considered to have a problem that the main gun was limited swing type, etc.] It was developed in agreement with Canada by designing anew.
-Development started in 1941 and trial production was completed in June, and mass production started in November.
-The mounting position of the main gun, which became a problem in M3, is mounted on the turret, and at that time it is possible to remodel the front of the turret by bolting so that it can be changed quickly in the future because the 6 pound can not be prepared.
-The first Mk.I with a 2 pounder is produced, and the 6 pounder with a Mk.II is produced from 1942.
-In addition, the shape of the car body has been changed during the production of MK and II, and there is no side hatch and body gun tower.
-The produced vehicle is remodeled into a ram kangaroo etc. from which other turrets used for training were removed.

Tamiya 1/35 Russian KV1 Model 1941 Early Production Heavy Tank
$74.00
This model kit recreates a WWII Soviet subject. It’s considered an important design in the history of armor, as it was developed concurrently with the T-34 medium tank. Armed with a powerful 76.2mm ZIS-5 gun and continually updated to improve its survivability, it served through to the end of WWII.

• 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
• Early 1941 model is depicted.
• Completely new design, with no parts brought over from previous kits.
• Early 1941 features such as welded turret and early production road wheels are accurately rendered.
• Surface textures such as the rough Soviet steel plate and cast areas reproduced with weld lines also depicted.
• Driver and gearbox hatches, plus fender-top stowage cases can be assembled open or closed.
• Simple turret ring construction.
• Assembly type tracks feature one-piece straight sections and recreate upper run “sag”.
• Comes with two marking options and a single commander torso figure.

Meng 1/35 Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther Ausf.G2 German Tank Destroyer
$79.50
The Jagdpanther Ausf. G2 tank destroyer, which entered military service in November 1944, was the last Jagdpanther variant that entered combats. It used the chassis and engine deck of the Panther Ausf. G tank. Like the Panther Ausf. G tank, it was fitted with a heating system for the crew. Like earlier Jagdpanther tank destroyers, it had superior firepower and strong armor. In the meanwhile, the Jagdpanther Ausf. G2 had some changes that reduced the labor and time consumed in production to a certain extent. According to their experience from operations, the German army added a general crane base on the top of the Jagdpanther Ausf. G2. When it’s needed, they could install a general crane to lift ammunition and other heavy equipment, or to replace or repair the engine. Thanks to these changes, the Jagdpanther Ausf. G2 became more adapted to the needs of battlefields.
This TS-047 German Tank Destroyer Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther Ausf. G2 model kit is the latest MENG Panther series product. The finished model will be 289.7mm long and 97mm wide. This kit includes a jib crane for lifting heavy things and the engine, Fine PE parts, metal cables and PE side skirts. Surface details incl. weld beads, cast texture, cutting marks and hot rolling texture are outstandingly reproduced. The suspension system can be upgraded with the SPS-049 German Medium Tank Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Late Production Tracks & Movable Running Gear Parts (sold separately). This kit is a realistic replica of the last Jagdpanther heavy tank destroyer variant. It’s a must-have collection.

Meng 1/35 Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther Ausf.G2 Tank Destroyer Hull (Travel Mode) (MNG kit)
$118.75
The German Jagdpanther heavy tank destroyer was a special anti-tank weapon which appeared in late WWII. Based on the Panther tank, it was fitted with an 88mm L/71 anti-tank gun which was quite similar to the ones on the King Tiger tank and the Nashorn self-propelled anti-tank gun. Such a precision weapon should be carefully maintained. During the non-combat time, the Germans often cover the hull, gun barrel and muzzle with canvas. The canvas covers could protect the precision equipment like the main gun and sight from the pollution of dust and rainwater. They could also help hide the vehicle from being spotted.
This MENG SPS-071 Jagdpanther Ausf. G2 Heavy Tank Destroyer Hull (Travel Mode) kit is a resin product. The texture of canvas covering the hull, gun barrel and muzzle is realistically reproduced by digital sculpting. This kit includes a hull, a gun barrel covered by canvas and a muzzle cover. This kit can be used with the MENG TS-047 German Tank Destroyer Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther Ausf. G2 kit to build a unique Jagdpanther model.

Airfix 1/35 Tiger-1 Early Version - Operation Citadel
$44.75
Following their disastrous defeat at Stalingrad during the winter of 1942-43, the German armed forces launched a major offensive in the East known as Operation Citadel on July 4th, 1943. The climax of Operation Citadel, the Battle of Kursk, involved as many as 6,000 tanks, 4,000 aircraft and 2 million fighting men and is remembered as the greatest tank battle in history. The peak of the battle was the massive armour engagement at Prochorovka, which began on July 12th.
Prochorovka is one of the best-known of the many battles on the Eastern Front during World War II. Tiger heavy tanks with deadly 88mm cannons, lumbered forward while hundreds of nimble Soviet T-34 medium tanks raced into the midst of the SS armour and threw the Germans into confusion. The Soviets closed with the Panzers, negating the Tigers’ 88mm guns, outmanouvered the German armour and knocked out hundreds of German tanks. The Soviet tank force’s audacious tactics resulted in a disastrous defeat for the Germans, and the disorganised SS divisions withdrew, leaving 400 destroyed tanks behind, including between 70 and 100 Tigers and many Panthers. Those losses smashed the SS divisions’ fighting power, and as a result Hoth’s Fourth Panzer Army had no chance to achieve even a partial victory in the south of the Soviet Union.
After receiving the news of the Allied invasion of Sicily, as well as reports of impending Soviet attacks on the Mius River and at Izyum, Hitler decided to cancel Operation Citadel. From then on the German forces were on the back-foot and the war had now turned against them.

Airfix 1/35 JagdPanzer 38 tonne Hetzer Early Version
$51.75
The Jagdpanzer 38 (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as Hetzer ("baiter"), was a German light tank destroyer of the Second World War based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis. The project was inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.  The Jagdpanzer 38 was intended to be more cost-effective than the much more ambitious Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger designs of the same period. Using a proven chassis, it avoided the mechanical problems of the larger armoured vehicles.
It was built on the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)‘s widened and lengthened chassis with modified suspension (larger road-wheels from Praga TNH n.A prototype reconnaissance tank) and up-rated engine. The new engine was 160 PS Praga AC/2 6-cylinder engine controlled by Praga-Wilson gearbox (5 forward and 1 reverse gear). Chassis was modified in order to accommodate larger gun and thicker armour than regular Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) tank. Its combat weight was 16 metric tons (versus 9.8-tonnes for the Pz 38(t) and it could travel at maximum speed of some 42 km/h.

Airfix 1/35 Tiger 1, Early Production Version
$44.75
Production of the Tiger I began in August 1942 at the factory of Henschel und Sohn in Kassel, initially at a rate of 25 per month and peaking in April 1944 at 104 per month. 1,355 had been built by August 1944, when production ceased. Deployed Tiger I's peaked at 671 on 1 July 1944. It took about twice as long to build a Tiger I as another German tank of the period. When the improved Tiger II began production in January 1944, the Tiger I was soon phased out. Eager to make use of the powerful new weapon, Hitler ordered the vehicle be pressed into service months earlier than had planned. A platoon of four Tigers went into action on 23rd September 1942 near Leningrad.
Operating in swampy, forested terrain, their movement was largely confined to roads and tracks, making defence against them far easier. Many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission, which had difficulty handling the great weight of the vehicle if pushed too hard. It took time for drivers to learn how to avoid overtaxing the engine and transmission, and many broke down. The most significant event from this engagement was that one of the Tigers became stuck in swampy ground and had to be abandoned. Captured largely intact, it enabled the Soviets to study the design and prepare countermeasures.

Airfix 1/35 Tiger-1 Mid Version
$63.00
The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of World War II deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. Its final designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E often shortened to Tiger. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun. 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.
It carried a crew of 5 (driver, radio operator, gunner, commander and loader), and was powered by a water-cooled V-12 engine, taking to speeds up to 28 m.p.h. (45 k.m.p.h.), and alonng with its feared main weapon carried two 7.92mm MG-34 machine guns, used in close combat situations.
While the Tiger I has been called an outstanding design for its time, it was arguably over-engineered using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods. The Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and breakdowns, and was limited in range by its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to maintain, but generally mechanically reliable.  Also being difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilisation when mud, ice, and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk-pattern road wheels, often jamming them solid, made the effectiveness of this fearsome weapon less potent. This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy spring season and during periods of extreme cold.
The tank was given its nickname "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The initial designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (‘‘Panzer VI version H’’, abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H) where 'H' denoted Henschel as the designer/manufacturer. It was classified with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182.  The tank was later re-designated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181.  Mid-production Tiger I's have the second design turret with the smaller cupola but retain the rubber-rimmed roadwheels.

Airfix 1/35 T34-85 112 Factory Production
$44.75
When the first T-34-85s (85mm gun) delivered by Zavod #112 appeared, they were given to the best units, the elite Red Guards battalions. However, they were in training during December 1943, so it is uncertain whether they saw action before January or February 1944. By then, around 400 had already been delivered to front-line units and instantly became popular with the crews. They gradually replaced the T-34/76 and in mid-1944 the T-34-85 outnumbered the older versions. By then they formed the bulk of the tank units on the eve of Operation Bagration, the Soviet response to the Allied landings in Normandy, and the biggest offensive ever planned by the Red Army to date. This was the final push, aimed at Berlin. Before the production built-up, the T-34-85 model 1943 were usually given to chosen crews, usually of the Guard units.

Airfix 1/35 M36/M36B2, Battle of the Bulge
$42.75
The M36 was introduced to replace the M10 which only had a 76mm gun. The M36 had a 90mm gun with greater armour piercing capability. In the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, it gave it the capability of combating the Tigers and Panthers of the Wehrmacht. The M36 with its new turret was placed on converted M10A1 hulls. The M36B2 used the same turret but was placed on the M4A2 hulls which had a diesel engine. They both had a long service life, particularly in other nations services.

Airfix 1/72 D-Day Sea Assault Gift Set w/Paint & Glue
$55.50
While the first Allied soldiers landed in Normandy via parachute during the night of the 5th and 6th of June 1944, the vast majority of the liberating Allied troops would have to come via the sea, landing on Normandy's beaches under heavy fire and fighting their way inland. The Allies had various different types of landing craft for getting men ashore. Some were very large like the Landing Ship Tank (LST), some much smaller like the small amphibious DUKW but it was the Higgins LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) which proved to be one of the most important types used. Employed to transport the majority of US Personnel, as well as many British troops when they were used by the Royal Navy, they were vital because they could very quickly offload men and small vehicles, such as Jeeps, while under fire. Jeeps were vital because they offered the Allies mobility in the earliest hours of the campaign. The LCVPs were also able to return fire with their compliment of two .30 inch machine guns, helping to protect the troops that they were disembarking. Overall D-day was a success, thanks in no small part to the work of boats like these and their crews.

Airfix 1/72 D-Day Air Assault Gift Set w/Paint & Glue
$55.50
On the eve of June the 6th 1944, the vast majority of mainland Europe was either under the control of Hitler's Nazi regime, or heavily influenced by it. Only Britain stood free in Europe and openly opposed the fascist regime then seeking to control the world. Supported by the United States and Canada, as well as troops from the then occupied nations, the 6th of June marked the Western Allies return to France after the humiliation of the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940. The invasion required the Allies to hold total air superiority over the Normandy landing grounds. The lead up to the day had seen thousands of sorties carried out by Allied aircraft. From heavy bombers relentlessly pounding targets of strategic important in France, to fighter bombers such as the Hawker Typhoon that attacked enemy troop formations and smaller targets - the Allied air assault was total.
Due to the distance from Normandy to the UK, once the Allied had a foothold on the French coast, small temporary airfields were immediately established which gave the Allies the opportunity to fly more sorties and to be closer to the action. Some of these airfields were so close to the frontline they suffered mortar attacks. These airfields were to prove their worth, and with the help of Allied airpower, Hitler's armies were pushed further and further back, culminating in the defeat of Nazi Germany just eleven months later.

Estes - Terra GLM Model Rocket Kit (Skill Level Beginner)
$24.75
The future of long-range air defense is the Terra GLM. This hypothetical ground launch missile is designed around the latest rocketry and armament technology. Highlights include a next generation ramjet engine with a variable intake scoop for hypersonic flight, lightweight and efficient fuel cell technology to power all electronic and electrical components, and a split fin design with an upper stabilizing section and lower flight control surfaces. The ordinance segment of this mock missile can be adapted for a range of payloads, dependent on the mission and the target.
While the full-scale Terra GLM may not be real (yet!) the Estes GLM model rocket is ready to be flown today! This scale-like model missile is loaded with great features that set it apart. The kit is assembled with several pre-finished plastic parts – ramjet style nosecone, mid-body tube joiner, detailed fins with simulated (non-functional) steering surfaces, and engine mount components – all molded in military olive drab. The body tubes also come pre-finished in military colors, so no painting is required. The realistic details don’t end there! The Terra GLM includes a sheet of peel-and-stick decals that push the look of this model to the next level. Simulated access panels, rivet points, roll pattern markings, and military-style stenciling all contribute to the authentic look of the finished model rocket.
The Terra GLM is no slouch when launch day comes around, either! This sleek and attractive model can easily reach 875 feet on an Estes C6-5 engine. Launching from a smaller field? No problem – just use the recommended Estes B4-4 or B6-4 engines for a more modest peak attitude. Engines are held in place with a quick-release engine hook and can quickly and easily be replaced between flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the classic orange, 12 inch parachute when it deploys at ejection. You’ll have your Terra GLM back in no time, ready to launch and defend the skies once more!

Echelon Decals 1/35 3. SS-Schw.Pz.Rgt. Tiger I's Kursk 1943 - Operation Citadel
$22.25
Covers 10 specific Tiger I Earlys from 3. Schw.Pz.Rgt. "Totenkopf" during Operation Citadel, Kursk 1943. Of these, five tanks featured kill marks. The KwK 36 L/56 barrel has a slight tapered profile. When designing the ring artworks on a 2D flat, one must take the barrel taper seriously into consideration. Simply tapering the artwork alone is not enough. They should all exhibit a slight CURVATURE on each set of rings as there is some math behind it. Like all other Echelon sets, the rings are carefully calculated and crafted so that when applied, they would look straight on a tapered profile. I.E. if you apply an all-straight-lined artwork instead, the end result would be that all the rings will look slanted. The specific tanks on the set had all the turret numbers properly spacedAlso included are a generic full set of rings (cut off what is not needed), plus separate digits for further customization.

Echelon Decals 1/35 Irish & French AML Armoured Cars in Cyprus & Lebanon
$17.50
Early Irish AML 60s that operated in Cyprus were in overall dark green tone, emblazoned with large UN logos. Both Irish and French operated AML armoured cars during their UN operation in Lebanon. Irish AML-90s were mostly painted overall white with "UN" markings visible on many sides. Most had the ubiquous Shamrock (green clovers) on the vehicles, available in a number of sizes. A number of French armoured cars, AML-60 & AML 90, were seen in overall white, with the larger blue "ONU" stencils painted on both sides of the vehicles while fitted with UNIFIL registration plates. The rest were seen in plain dark green, with prominent National flags placed all over the vehicles. These were also given names. (Thanks to Glen Phelan for correcting mistaken identity of some of the armoured cars)

Echelon Decals 1/35 Reforger Markings
$22.25
There has been many types of blue and orange Reforger markings over the years. This set attempts to cover one particular early style used on a number of forces and many AFV types. For example: early M1 with 105mm gun; M60A2s, etc. It was seen in two sizes on 3 known shapes, 4 if you count "diamond". It wasn't easy to track down every digit's styles as they were never seen together in one image.

Echelon Decals 1/35 2-1 Cav M113's in Vietnam
$22.25
This 4th Infantry Division cavalry unit fielded standard ACAV M113s fitted with late style cupolas. 2-1 Cavalry, also known as "Black Hawks", had their tracks marked with a large black silhouette of a bird on both sides of the M113s. The same marking came be found on their M48s. Unit's early tracks used colored numbers: red for A troops; yellow for B troops; and C used blue. Later, they switched to a different format, using black bird silhouettes on colored squares (same colors to represent each troop. HHT tracks had theirs painted with black hawk on red and white guidon. There is also a M125 on this set, named "The Jones Brothers" with personalised markings on both sides of the hull.
