<p>During WWII, British paratroopers sometimes had occasion to use a 1-man folding motorcycle. The creative and compact frame was powered by a 1.5hp, 98cc engine, the vehicle weighing in at a mere 32kg and storable in a 38cm diameter parachute airdrop canister. They were distributed to the 1st and 6th Airborne Divisions and deployed in their actions in Operation Market Garden, September 1944. While paratroopers naturally made use of them to become mobile after airdrops, the motorcycles were also often used as run-abouts on air bases.</p><p>Precision plastic assembly model kit.

<h3>E-100 Super Heavy Tank Ausf. G (105mm Twin Guns)</h3> <p>The E-100 Super Heavy Tank Ausf. G is a specialized multi-role heavy tank variant developed as part of the E-100 series, featuring twin 105mm high-velocity cannons for enhanced firepower. Designed as a fire-support and breakthrough unit, this version was intended to engage enemy heavy armor and fortified positions while retaining the strong defensive capabilities of the original E-100 platform.</p> <p>With a total production of approximately 150 units, this variant was introduced in limited numbers but demonstrated outstanding combat effectiveness, particularly in long-range engagements and defensive strongpoints.</p> <h3>Development and Design</h3> <p>The E-100 Super Heavy Tank was originally conceived as an ultimate heavy tank, offering extreme armor protection and firepower. The Ausf. G variant was developed as an alternative to the 128mm or 150mm single-gun configurations, incorporating dual 105mm high-velocity cannons to significantly increase the rate of fire and sustained battlefield effectiveness.</p> <p><strong>The twin 105mm gun system allowed the Ausf. G to:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Deliver rapid successive shots, reducing enemy response time</li> <li>Engage multiple targets simultaneously</li> <li>Maintain continuous suppressive fire in defensive operations</li> </ul> <p>The turret design was modified to accommodate the dual-gun setup, slightly reducing internal ammunition storage but providing superior firepower output. Armor remained among the thickest of any heavy tank, ensuring survivability against enemy counterattacks.</p> <h3>Operational Role</h3> <p><strong>The E-100 Ausf. G was primarily deployed in heavy fire-support roles, excelling in:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Engaging enemy heavy tanks with sustained firepower</li> <li>Breaking fortified enemy positions</li> <li>Long-range defensive fire support</li> </ul> <p>Its superior armor and high-caliber weaponry made it a formidable force, although its massive size and weight limited mobility compared to medium or heavy tanks.</p> <h3>Combat Performance</h3> <p>Despite its limited production, the E-100 Ausf. G proved highly effective in strategic defensive battles, where its firepower and armor allowed it to hold key positions and disrupt enemy advances. Its twin-gun system gave it a unique advantage in tank duels, particularly when firing in quick succession to disable enemy armor before they could retaliate.</p> <h3>Power and Mobility</h3> <p>The E-100 Ausf. G retained the 1,200-horsepower engine, but due to its massive 140-ton weight, its top speed was limited to 30 km/h. The reinforced suspension system was upgraded to support the increased turret weight, though its maneuverability remained low compared to lighter tanks.</p> <h3>Crew and Protection</h3> <p>The E-100 Super Heavy Tank Ausf. G operated with a six-person crew, including:</p> <ul> <li>Commander – Battlefield coordination</li> <li>Primary Gunner – Controls the twin 105mm cannons</li> <li>Driver – Manages movement and positioning</li> <li>Loader (x2) – Ensures continuous ammunition feed</li> <li>Engineer/Operator – Monitors mechanical systems and assists with field repairs</li> </ul> <p>Armor protection was exceptionally thick, featuring 200mm frontal armor, making it one of the most resilient tanks ever fielded.</p> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li>Weight: 140 tons</li> <li>Crew: 6 (Commander, Gunner, Driver, 2 Loaders, Engineer/Operator)</li> <li>Armor: 200mm sloped frontal armor</li> <li>Primary Armament: Twin 105mm high-velocity cannons</li> <li>Secondary Armament: Dual 30mm defensive autocannons</li> <li>Mobility System: Tracked heavy chassis with reinforced suspension</li> <li>Power System: 1,200 hp engine</li> <li>Maximum Speed: 30 km/h</li> <li>Production Quantity: Approximately 150 units</li> <li>Combat Role: Fire support, anti-heavy armor, strategic defense</li> </ul>

<p>The K2 Black Panther is a modern 3rd generation South Korean main battle tank manufactured by Hyundai Rotem. The first prototypes of the vehicle were made in 2004, and serial production started in 2013 continues to this day. The exact number of tanks produced is unknown. Estimates are about 100 tanks of this type in the line. The K2 is powered by the 1500hp MTU MT 883 engine. The vehicle is armed with a single 120mm tank gun, 1 7.62mm machine gun and 1 12.7mm machine gun.</p> <p>Despite the fact that the modern K1 tank was introduced to the line in the early 1990s, the command of the South Korean army decided to develop a new tank that would complement, and eventually probably a successor to, the K1 vehicle. It was also decided to rely on the domestic arms industry as much as possible and use the help of foreign companies only as a last resort. What's more - the most advanced technology was chosen. As a result, the K2 tank has a very modern SKO (fire control system), an effective 120mm gun, very high mobility and maneuverability, and powerful armor that is a rare combination of composite and reactive armor of the ERA and NERA type. Undoubtedly, the K2 is a machine at least comparable to the western 3rd generation fronts, such as the Leopard 2 or the M1 Abrams. Contrary to them, however, like the French Leclerc, it uses an autoloader, which significantly increases the rate of fire and allowed to reduce the crew to 3 people. Due to the technological advancement, the unit cost of the K2 tank is estimated at approx. 8.5 million. dollars by 2014 prices. At the moment, K2 is not exported.</p> <p>The K2GF model from Academy in 1/35 scale is a detailed replica of a military vehicle used by the Polish Armed Forces.
