<h3>1/35 German SDKFZ.553 Ausf.Vierfuessler KaiserKaefer</h3> <p>The concept of the Fist of War series is based on an alternate timeline in which the end of the WWII is delayed by two years, where we explore the possibility of what the hypothetical advancement of weapons development being affected in and since this time period. Furthermore, the premise of this SF-inspired "superior technology" is that the inception of multi-legged artillery originated with the German military and spread throughout the world. This imagination is richly established through this series of models.</p>

<h3>Requiring quite a significant redesign of the turret and with the gun mounted on its side, the 17-pounder equipped Shermans became arguably the most effective Allied tanks of the Second World War.</h3><p>As Allied forces began to move off the D-Day beaches and into the Normandy countryside, they knew they would be facing strong opposition from German Panzer units, including the feared Heavy Tank Battalions. Fortunately, they now had a tank which was capable of taking on the Tigers and Panthers, in the form of the Sherman Firefly, a British designed marriage of the M4 Sherman and their famous 17-pounder anti-tank gun. Usually deployed in a ratio of one Firefly to four standard Shermans, German tank commanders soon learned to look for the longer barrel of the Firefly and attempt to knock these tanks out first. In order to make identification more difficult, British crews would camouflage the front of their guns with light coloured paint, giving their tank the appearance of a standard 75mm equipped Sherman, hoping this deception would give them enough time to get in the first shot during any engagement.</p><p>Complete with painting guides, water-based acrylic paint, adhesive and a brush, this kit is a great start to anyone's model building career!

<p>In the 1950s at the height of the cold war, the Soviet Union designed the Oyject 279 (Object 279). as a tank that could withstand a nuclear blast. The disk-like body was designed so that it would not fall over in response to the blast and shock waves during a nuclear explosion.The body armor was 269mm thick at the top, 305mm thick at the front and is made to withstand APDS bullets and HEAT bullets.A prototype was completed in 1959 and various tests were conducted.</p> <p>While the test results were good and the tank showed promise, it came at a time when the Soviet Union under the leadership of Khrushchev was moving away from heavy tanks.</p> <p>The object 279M carried a short-barrel-mounted 152 mm gun.</p>

<p>The tank's modern fire control system, designated 1A45, includes a laser range finder, a wind sensor, a tank speed indicator, a target speed indicator, a roll angle sensor, ammunition and surrounding medium temperature indicators, and a ballistic computer. In combination with the unique running gear that provides for the smooth running of the vehicle, this system permits the crew to deliver fire effectively while moving cross-country at a speed of 35 km/h with the tank's turret facing in any direction.</p> <p>Over the past 10 to 20 years, many countries have been involved in the development of active protection systems for tanks, but only Russia has brought developmental work to fruition and launched production. Arena is one such system. For its performance characteristics there are no other systems in the world that can compare with Arena. This system is designed to protect the tank against antitank grenades and missiles fired by all types of infantry weapons, as well as ground and air-launched ATGMs flying at a speed of 70 to 700 m/s, regardless of the type of control systems and warheads.</p> <h3>FEATURES:</h3> <ul> <li>The kit consists of over 970 parts</li> <li>The kit w/refined detail</li> <li>multi-slide moulded turret and lower hull</li> <li>192 individual tracks links</li> <li>Etched Photo parts included</li> </ul>

<p>New manufacturer RPG Scalemodel brings us this nicely detailed kit of the T-80U main battle tank! This tank was developed in the Soviet Union in the 1960s, developed separately from the popularly used T-72. The U suffix indicates it's the improved version with upgraded armor to improve its defense capability. The engine is a 1,250hp GTD-1250 gas turbine engine, and the navigation system was renewed as well.  This tank was used starting in the late 1980s, and it was also used by Korea, China, Cyprus, UAE, etc. </p>

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 34</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 24</li> <li>How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 179</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:72</li> <li>License line: Jeep, the Jeep grille and related logos, vehicle model names and trade dress are trademarks of FCA US LLC and used under license by Hornby Hobbies LTD. 2019 FCA US LLC.</li> <li>Contents (what's in the box) sets: Content: 1 x Willys MB Jeep 4 x 4, | 1 x 1/4 Ton Trailer | 1 x 75mm Airborne Pack Howitzer | 2 x LCVP Higgins Boat | 1 x Diorama | 48 x US Infantry | Paint</li> <li>Scheme: Willys Jeep, 6th Airborne Division, US Infantry, Normandy, June 1944. | 10 CWT Airborne Trailer | 75mm Pack Howitzer M1</li> <li>Finish: Plastic</li> <li>Number of Scheme options: 1</li> <li>Skill Level: 2</li> <li>Flying Hours: 3</li> <li>Wingspan (mm): 240</li> </ul>
