1/35 2CM SALVENMASCHINENKANONE SMK 18 TYPE 2. This is an injection-plastic field gun model kit. The SMK18 Type 2 2-cm cannon is a high-fidelity gun made by Germany during World War II. The idea was to shoot down enemy aircraft by simultaneously firing eight 2-cm cannons. The Type 1 had the cannons in a horizontal arrangement; the prototype of the Type 2 was built in 1939, but it proved to be too unstable for use, as there was too much of a load on its moving parts. This gun is currently on display in a museum in Moscow, Russia. This kit features highly detailed breech and carriage assemblies, working elevation and sight mechanisms, and a choice of optical or iron sights. The stabilizer arms are movable, and a set of photo-etched parts is included as well. Order yours today! [Includes]: Photo-etched parts

Plastikový model letadla 1/72 DH.100 Vampire Mk.I RAF, RAAF and Armée de l. The kit’s plastic parts come on three grey styrene sprues and two clear sprues which are accompanied by a fret of photo-etches. The first clear sprue offers the standard, late type of the clear hood and also the original, early style canopy typical for the first Mk.Is. This part, however, was not manufactured to our standards, which we regret of course, and thus we have decided to rework the design completely and produce a second sprue with much more exact rendition of the early hood. The decal sheet contains markings for three RAF machines which differ by having various national markings on them, another machine with serial A78-1which was flown by the RAAF down under and the final option brings a very special French machine, in fact a remotely controlled drone named Porthos Originally, the Vampire Mk.I kit was to offer schemes for just two operators of the type, the RAF and RAAF. It has been decided, however, that a new marking option will be offered in this boxing to make it more attractive for a wider range of modellers. The new addition to the kit is a quite eye-catching machine wearing French colours and the title of this boxing has also been updated.

Plastikový model letadla 1/72 SB2A-4 Buccaneer ‘US Marines Bomber’ . The SB2A dive bomber aircraft was designed by Brewster during WW2 to be operated primarily from aircraft carriers. Although the type was produced in several various versions, it was used only for training. The British military used the type under their own name of Bermuda. A similar version was also developed for the air force of Dutch East Indies (ML-KNIL), but in the end was not delivered as the Dutch surrendered. The SB2A-3 saw service with the US Navy whilst the dash 4 variety, as brought to you in our recent release, belonged to the US Marines inventory. The decal sheet offers markings for three US Marines airframes bearing both the two- and three-colour schemes and one fictious machine as it might have looked like had it been acquired by the Dutch. US naval dive bomber the SB2A-4 was operated by the Marines decals for three US Marines options and one as would have been flown by Dutch East Indies (they in fact wanted to buy the type) the kit contains resin parts and etches

Plastikový model letadla 1/72 Blohm and Voss Ae 607 4 decal v. for Luftwaffe, Great Britain. Early in 1945, a Blohm & Voss (B&V) aircraft designer called Thieme began work on Drawing Number Ae 607, within the standard drawing numbering system at B&V. His design for a jet fighter was radically different from anything that B&V had done before. A flying wing, it approximated to a 45° delta planform. Reports of its existence were not confirmed until 2017, when the drawing was published. No Project number is recorded for the design and its intended status is unknown.[
Plastikový model letadla 1/72 Caudron CR.714 C-1 4 decal v. for France, Luftwaffe, Finland. 4 decal variants1. Caudron CR-714, 2nd Esc. GC 1/145, Dreux, A. Niewiara, June 19402. Caudron CR-714, 1st Esc. GC 1/145, Villacoublay, L. Uher, May 19403. Caudron CR-714, Finland, May 19414. Caudron CR-714, test aicraft, Luftwaffe 1940The first prototype was test flown in July 1938 and the first production machine, powered by a Renault 12R-03, was delivered in July 1939. The armament consisted of four 7,5mm MAC 1934 machine guns located in two wing gondolas. Only GC 1-145 was equipped with the Caudron C.714. It was a unit composed of Polish pilots under French command. They fought against the Luftwaffe in spring 1940 and despite the aircraft climbing, the highly battle motivated Polish pilots scored 8 confirmed victories with an overall loss of 7 pilots. Until the fall of France, more than 60 machines were produced and several were in progress. At least one machine was tested by the Luftwaffe.

Plastikový model letadla 1/72 Avro Rota C.30A 4 decal v. for Czeczslovak.,RAF, Yugoslavia, Australia. The first production design in the series was the C.30, a radial-engined autogyro with a three-blade, 37 ft (11.3 m) rotor mounted on an aft-leaning tripod, the control column extending into the rear of the two cockpits. The engine was the five-cylinder, 105 hp (78 kW) Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major I used in the C.19 series. The fabric-covered fuselage carried an unbraced tailplane, without elevators but with turned-up tips. The port side of the tailplane had an inverted aerofoil section to counter roll-axis torque produced by the propeller. As with most autogyros, a high vertical tail was precluded by the sagging resting rotor, so the dorsal fin was long and low, extending well aft of the tailplane like a fixed rudder and augmented by a ventral fin. The wide-track undercarriage had a pair of single, wire-braced legs and a small tail wheel was fitted. This model flew in April 1933. It was followed by four improved machines designated C.30P (P here for pre-production) which differed in having a four-legged pyramid rotor mounting and a reinforced undercarriage with three struts per side. The rotor could be folded rearwards for transport. The C.30P used the more powerful (140 hp, 104 kW) seven-cylinder Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major IA radial engine.

Plastikový model letadla 1/48 Reggiane Re 2000 I. Serie. Just before the outbreak of WW2, the Reggiane Re 2000 took part in the competition for the standard fighter which was to serve with the Italian air force. Even though the type offered quite high performance, it eventually did not win, so the most of the production was offered for export. The Regia Aeronautica, however, decided to give the type a try and deployed it mainly in the dangerous operations against Malta. The model kit contains four styrene sprues and one with clear parts. The wing sprue has its origins in the Classic Airframes kit while all the other components are brand new, the small ones being produced from metal moulds. Italian WW2 fighter aeroplane three eye-catching marking options bearing the Italian mottle camouflage pattern we also offer separate resin sets and pre-cut masks

1/48 Messerschmitt Bf109 Crosses + Stencils - Wet Transfers - various manufacturers. Crosses and stencils for Messerschmitt Bf109 in 1/48 scale. Wet transfer technology means that decal doesn't leave any signs of varnish or typical film after its application, so only text or symbols stay attached to the surface. The biggest issue relating to using ordinary decals is the varnish which creates a glossy film around the decal. It is quite hard to work with classic decals the way to make this film invisible and it is impossible to reach a good result in case of metallic surfaces. OK, there are dry transfers on the market but work with them is also quite uncomfortable, it is hard to place them correctly and a modeler has the one chance only. HGW's wet transfers are similar to ordinary decals. It is possible to move them during the attaching process and find the best position. Then just push the water from below the transfer, let it dry few hours, remove the transfer foil and work is done. Only text or symbol stays attached to the surface. Instructions: 1. Cut the required part.2. Soak in hot water and wait till the decal loose its base-paper.3. Apply as regular decal.4. Push the water from below the decal.5. Let it dry for 2-3 hours.6. Remove the transfer foil and clean the glue stains with water.

Dne 12. října dostal Beamontův stroj zasažen flakem do chladiče, pilot musel přistát na nepřátelském území a zbytek války strávil v zajetí. Během 2. světové války dosáhl devíti sestřelů a byl vyznamenán DFC & Bar a DSO & Bar. Po válce Beamont pracoval jako zkušební pilot a létal mimo jiné na strojích Meteor, Vampire, Canbera, Lightning a TSR-2. V srpnu 1979 odešel do důchodu. Zemřel 19. listopadu 2001. Kamufláž Beamontova stroje byla v předvečer invaze do Evropy doplněna o výrazný marking v podobě bílých a černých pruhů o šíři 18 palců na zadní části trupu a křídle.

Po návratu do Velké Británie následovalo hlídkování nad námořní základnou Royal Navy ve Scapa Flow, od dubna 1941 působila na jihu Anglie jako noční stíhací jednotka. V červnu 1943 došlo k jejímu přezbrojení na stroje Hawker Typhoon, v únoru 1944 byla vyzbrojena stroji Hawker Tempest. S nimi se zúčastnila příprav na invazi do Evropy, ochrany jižní Anglie proti střelám V-1, přesunu do Evropy, kde podporovala postupující jednotky až do konce války. V Německu zůstala v rámci BAFO (British Air Forces of Occupation) až do května 1999. Na přelomu tisíciletí se podílela na bojových akcích v Kosovu, Sierra Leoně, Iráku a v roce 2004 v Afghánistánu. V březnu 2006 obdržela nové Eurofightery Typhoon. V květnu 1944 bylo 3. squadroně změněno kódové označení z předchozího QO na JF, jež následně používala až do roku 1946. Označení tzv. invazními pruhy dostal v předvečer vylodění v Normandii také stroj JN765. Pozemní personál natřel černou barvou navíc také spodní část krytů hlavního podvozku. Úvodem: Příběh Tempestu není vlastně ničím jiným, než záměrem vyřešit nedostatky, které zabránily Hawkeru Typhoon uspět v roli stíhacího letounu. Hlavním problémem Typhoonu bylo jeho tlusté křídlo s profilem NACA 22, které sice poskytovalo spoustu vnitřního prostoru pro palivové nádrže a zbraně, zároveň ale s rostoucí rychlostí rychle zvyšovalo aerodynamický odpor. A tak nebylo divu, že jádrem změn vedoucích k novému stíhači bylo právě křídlo. Letoun si měl původně ponechat název Typhoon s tím, že bude označen jako Mk.II, ale záhy bylo evidentní, že výsledkem bude v podstatě nový typ, takže bylo jméno změněno na Tempest (vichřice), čímž Hawker pokračoval ve své tradici označovat své stíhací letouny “větrnými” jmény.

1/35 Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf.E/F. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. From Tamiya: After the effective annexation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany in 1939, German forces were interested enough in the native Czech LTvz38 light tank that they took it on and ordered production under their own categorization of 38(t), a light tank with riveted, welded armor and a perky 3.7cm gun. Early production 38(t)s took part in the early German offensives of the war, and the 38(t) underwent continued development with 1,400 produced in total. Ausf.E and F 38(t)s had additional armor across the vehicle for better survivability and were deployed during the early stages of Operation Barbarossa as Nazi Germany once again invaded a neighbor, this time the Soviet Union. About the Model Length: 132mm, width: 62mm The 38(t) form with riveted armor plate is accurately depicted. Parts are included to recreate fender-top stowage boxes that were often added by units on the front line. Assembly type tracks feature single-piece straight sections for fine reproduction of upper run 'sag.' Engine grille mesh is rendered faithfully using a photo-etched component. Comes with a commander figure for installation in the hatch, and two Eastern Front marking options.

1/72 KDA-2 type 88-2 scout. The Beriev Be-8 (USAF/DoD reporting name “Type 33”, NATO reporting name “Mole”), was built by the Soviet Beriev OKB in 1947. It was a passenger/liaison amphibian aircraft with a layout similar to the Be-4 but substantially larger and heavier. It was a single engine parasol with the wing installed on a thin pylon and a pair of short struts. Compared to the Be-4, the Be-8 was equipped with retractable landing gear, and pilot and passenger cabins had heating utilizing engine heat. The Be-8 was intended as a civil aircraft and carried no armament. First flight was on December 3, demonstrating good performance. Two experimental aircraft were built, and one was demonstrated during 1951 Soviet Aviation Day at Tushino.One of Be-8 was equipped with hydrofoils, developed at TsAGI. These “Underwater Wings” were installed on landing gear struts and pushed aircraft above the water well before it could be done by the wing lift force. As a result, takeoff was much easier and imposed less punishment on the hull from the waves. Despite very effective during takeoff hydrofoils had negative impact on flight speed. Construction of retractable hydrofoils was not ready, and the concept did not find practical applications.

1/35 M60A1 Patton U.S. Army Main Battle Tank. The M60 is a main battle tank developed by the United States as a successor to the M46, M47, and M48 in order to combat the new T-54A tank fielded by the Soviet Union. The M60A1 tank is an improved mass-produced version of the M60, with production beginning in 1960, four years after the prototype of the original M60 was completed. The turret was changed from the M60's "turtleshell" shape to a thicker shape with front armor and a wider internal volume. The tank's excellent maneuverability, powerful engine and 105mm tank gun L7A1 made it an excellent tank with a good balance of offense and defense; it has become the standard main battle tank for the U.S. military and other Western countries. About 20,000 of this tank have been made, and it has become the best-selling tank. Takom's kit features a main hatch that opens and closes after assembly, with crawler belt tracks, clear and photo-etched parts, and markings for five versions. Please note that figures are not included. [Includes]: Clear parts, photo-etched parts, markings for 5 versions

1/48 SAAB B17B - The first SAAB aircraft. The first SAAB designed and built aircraft was initially an ASJA (SAAB’s predecessor) project called the L-10, a reconnaissance aircraft. When ASJA was merged with SAAB, the airplane was named SAAB 17. It was now also intended as a dive bomber. As the European continent was thrown into war, the lack of engines forced three different versions of the SAAB 17 to be developed; the 17A with Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp, the 17B with Bristol Mercury XXIV and the 17C with Piaggio P. XIbis R.C.40D. The first prototype flew on May 18 1940 and two years later deliveries commenced.
