<p>The M60 is an American second-generation main battle tank MBT. It was officially standardized as the Tank, Combat, Full Tracked: 105-mm Gun, M60 in March 1959. Although developed from the M48 Patton, the M60 tank series was never officially christened as a Patton tank. The US Army considered it a "product-improved descendant" of the Patton tank's design. The design similarities are evident comparing the original version of the M60 and the M48A2. It has been sometimes informally grouped as a member of the Patton tank family.</p> <p>High quality plastic model kit in authentic 1/35 scale.

<p>The K9 Thunder is a modern South Korean tracked self-propelled gun. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in 1996, and in 1999 serial production began, which continues to this day. The vehicle is powered by the MTU MT 881 Ka-500 engine 1000 hp . It is armed with a 155mm L52 cannon and a single 12.7mm K6 HMG machine gun.</p> <p>The first works on the K9 Thunder artillery system began in 1989 at Samsung Techwin (now: Hanwha Techwin). The first K9s entered the South Korean army line in 1999. Vehicles of this type are characterized by high off-road mobility, have hydropneumatic suspension and a very good power-weight ratio of the vehicle. They are protected by armor made of steel sheets, which protects them against small-caliber firearms with a caliber of up to 14.5 mm and against artillery fragments. The K9 vehicle also has increased survivability in the event of a detonation of an anti-personnel or anti-tank mine. The maximum range of the K9 Thunder's main armament reaches 30,000 meters when firing an ordinary high-explosive shell and exceeds 50,000 meters when firing the K315 shell. The K9 is also able to fire in the MRSI mode, i.e. it fires a volley of 3 missiles at intervals of 5 seconds at different angles of the barrel lift, in such a way that all 3 missiles hit the target simultaneously. The K9 vehicles were sold to Turkey, where - after modernization - they serve as the T-155 Firtina. The chassis of the K9 Thunder has also become the basis for the Polish Krab howitzer and is licensed at Huta Stalowa Wola.</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.</p>

<p>Much of the early development work on the Panzer III was a quest for a suitable suspension. Several varieties of leaf-spring suspensions were tried on Ausf. A through Ausf. D, usually using eight relatively small-diameter road wheels before the torsion-bar suspension of the Ausf. E was standardized, using the six road wheel design that became standard. The Panzer III, along with the Soviet KV heavy tank, was one of the early tanks to use this suspension design first seen on the Stridsvagn L-60 a few years earlier.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Ready to assemble plastic model kit.</li> <li>Paints and cement (not included) are needed to complete the model.</li> <li>Side cutters, modeling knife and tweezers are also recommended.</li> <li>Product sold without glue and paint.</li> </ul>

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h3>Specifications</h3><ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 24.1</li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 8.37</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 10.2</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:35</li> <li>Contents (what's in the box) sets: Sprues &amp; decals</li> <li>Finish: Plastic</li> <li>Number of Scheme options: 2</li> <li>Skill Level: 4</li> <li>Flying Hours: 3</li> </ul>

<p>The Sd.Kfz. 250/3 was a variant of the German Sd.Kfz. 250 light armored half-track used during World War II. Specifically designed as a command vehicle, the 250/3 was equipped with enhanced radio communication systems, allowing it to serve as a mobile command post for military leaders. It featured a FuG 8 radio set with a large distinctive frame antenna, making it easily recognizable and ideal for maintaining communication between front-line units and higher command.</p> <p>The vehicle was typically used by high-ranking officers and commanders, including famous figures like General Erwin Rommel, who used the Sd.Kfz. 250/3 during the North African campaign. Known for its mobility and ruggedness, the 250/3 allowed commanders to direct operations in the field while remaining protected from small arms fire and shrapnel. Its combination of communication capabilities and armored protection made it an essential asset for German military leadership during key campaigns of the war.</p> <p>Featuring a host of detail, including a full interior, Takom's 1/35 scale model kit of Rommel's 'Greif' Sd.Kfz.250/3 half-track allows you to faithfully recreate this icon of the North African campaign. The kit features PE and clear parts, combined with exquisite detailing inside and out; the tracks are workable, and the suspension is also movable. Figures of Rommel and his driver are also included.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>1/35 scale precision model kit<br> </li> <li>This model kit requires assembly and painting<br> </li> <li>Cement, tools and paints are not included<br> </li> <li>Includes assembly instructions<br> </li> <li>Contains small parts, recommended for ages 14 and up</li> </ul>

<p>The Universal Carrier is a common name describing a family of light armoured tracked vehicles built by Vickers-Armstrong. Produced between 1934 and 1960, the vehicle was used widely by British Commonwealth forces, Polish Armed Forces in the West and Red Army (by Lend-Lease deliveries) during the Second World War. Universal Carriers were usually used for transporting personnel and equipment, mostly support weapons (mortars and flamethrowers) or as machine gun platforms. With some 113000 built in the United Kingdom and abroad, it was the most produced allied armoured fighting vehicle in history. The Universal Carrier was produced in Great Britain by Aveling-Barford, Ford, Sentinel, Thornycroft, and Wolseley Motors. By 1945 production amounted to approximately 57000 of all models, including some 2400 early ones. The Ford Motor Company of Canada manufactured about 29000 of the Universal Carriers. Smaller numbers of them were also produced in Australia (about 5000), New Zealand (about 1300) and United States and India.</p> <!---->
