<p>The M113 is an American armored personnel carrier. The first designs were created in 1956, and serial production at FMC started in 1960. It lasted until 1987 and resulted in the production of 73,000 copies of this vehicle for the US Army's own needs as well as for export. The M113 entered service in as many as 45 countries, including Israel, Spain, Italy, Greece and Germany. The M113 is the most popular transport in the world and forms the basis for the world's largest family of armored vehicles. The M113 hull is constructed of steel and aluminum, with welded armor. This lowers the weight, but protects the crew only against small caliber ammunition. The Israeli army uses Rafael TOGA armor to correct this shortcoming. The driving position is located at the front left and the engine at the front right of the vehicle. Landing soldiers (up to 7 people) sit on benches along the hull and start the fight via the ramp located at the back of the transporter, which is hydraulically lowered. The basic M113 is able to overcome water obstacles, driven by tracks. The M113 was involved in a very large number of conflicts among others. in the Vietnam War, in the Yom Kippur War, in Operation Desert Storm, and in the 2003 Iraq War. In the US Army, it is systematically replaced by the M2 Bradley car. Among the huge family based on the M113 chassis, one can mention the American M901, which is armed with a TOW launcher, or the Israeli M113 Fitter with a special crane mounted, which is the basic vehicle of the Israeli repair and repair services in armored battalions. Fitter is also used by Australia and Belgium.

<h3>IJA Tank Destroyer `Ho-Ri II` with Field Modified Type10 120mm Naval Gun Reverse Landing Operation on Saipan</h3> <p>The Ho-Ri II was a Japanese adaptation of the E-75 Jagdtiger II, modified to meet Imperial Japanese Army (I.J.A.) requirements for a domestically produced heavy tank destroyer. Designed for long-range anti-armor engagements and coastal defense, this version retained the heavily armored casemate structure of its German counterpart while integrating a 120mm Type 10 naval gun, originally used on warships, to provide superior firepower against both armored and fortified targets.</p> <p>A total of 230 units were produced, with the Ho-Ri II seeing action in defensive engagements and counter-offensive operations, including the Reverse Landing Operation on Saipan.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Japanese Army Gun Tank "Hori II" Saipan Reverse Landing Operation, equipped with the Navy 12cm Gun, is reproduced.</li> <li>The fixed combat room equipped with the Navy 12cm Gun features a design based on original research.</li> <li>Realistic molding, including welding marks, showcases cutting-edge quality.</li> <li>The metal gun barrel is movable up and down, and the loading area inside the combat room is also reproduced.</li> <li>Six-wheel suspension.</li> <li>Includes segmented adhesive tracks and a variety of external equipment.</li> <li>Designed for ease of assembly, parts are molded as a single piece wherever possible, allowing for quick construction.</li> <li>Water-slide Japanese army decals are included.</li> </ul> <h3>Design and Modifications</h3> <p>The Ho-Ri II retained the core structure of the E-75 Jagdtiger II but featured key modifications to suit Japanese engineering capabilities and battlefield needs:</p> <ul> <li>Primary Armament: Equipped with a Type 10 120mm naval gun, adapted for land combat. <ul> <li>Long-range penetration power, capable of engaging enemy heavy tanks and naval landing forces.</li> <li>Modified for casemate mounting, allowing for stable firing and effective recoil management.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Armor Protection: Retained the 200-250mm thick sloped frontal armor, making it highly resistant to direct anti-tank fire.</li> <li>Engine and Mobility: <ul> <li>Due to resource limitations, the engine power was 15% lower than the original German version, slightly reducing mobility and acceleration.</li> <li>Maintained a top speed of 35 km/h, still sufficient for strategic repositioning in defensive operations.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3>Operational Role</h3> <p>The Ho-Ri II was designed for:</p> <ul> <li>Long-range anti-armor combat, using its 120mm naval gun to neutralize enemy tanks and fortifications.</li> <li>Coastal defense missions, supporting island fortifications and repelling amphibious assaults.</li> <li>Heavy fire support in urban and jungle warfare, where its powerful gun and thick armor provided critical advantages.</li> </ul> <h3>Reverse Landing Operation on Saipan (1947)</h3> <p>One of the most notable engagements of the Ho-Ri II was its role in the Reverse Landing Operation on Saipan. During a counterattack to reclaim the island, Ho-Ri II units provided fire support against enemy positions and naval landing craft, using their naval-grade firepower to bombard enemy defensive lines.</p> <p>Despite fuel shortages and limited reinforcements, the Ho-Ri II units inflicted heavy losses on advancing enemy armor, proving their effectiveness in both land and coastal combat scenarios.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Weight: 75-80 tons</li> <li>Armor: 200-250mm sloped frontal armor</li> <li>Primary Armament: Type 10 120mm naval gun (field-modified for tank use)</li> <li>Secondary Armament: Hull-mounted Type 97 machine gun</li> <li>Mobility: <ul> <li>Engine: Locally adapted engine, 15% less power than the original German variant</li> <li>Top Speed: 35 km/h</li> <li>Operational Range: 160 km</li> </ul> </li> <li>Crew: 6 (Commander, Gunner, 2 Loaders, Driver, Radio Operator)</li> <li>Production Quantity: 230 units</li> <li>Role: Tank destroyer, coastal defense, heavy fire support</li> </ul> <h3>Legacy</h3> <p>The Ho-Ri II represented Japan’s attempt to field a heavily armored tank destroyer, capable of countering advanced enemy armor and fortifications.

<p>The Sd.Kfz. 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was a World War II German armored personnel carrier designed by the Hanomag company, based on its earlier, unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the Panzergrenadier (German mechanized infantry) into battle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by seven manufacturers. The utility of this vehicle led the German Army to develop the similar looking but shorter and lighter Sd.Kfz. 250 as a supplement.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <p>The kit consists of over 800 parts</p> </li> <li> <p>The kit w/refined detail</p> </li> <li> <p>Multi-slide moulded lower hull and upper hull</p> </li> <li> <p>Engine hood , crew door , observe windows and toolbox door can be selected to open or close</p> </li> <li> <p>Individual workable track links</p> </li> <li> <p>Rubber tires</p> </li> <li> <p>Photo-eteched parts included</p> </li> </ul>
