<p>Like the earlier BRDM-1, the BRDM-2 is a fully armoured, four-wheel drive, amphibious reconnaissance vehicle with two pairs of belly wheels and a centralised tire pressure regulation system for increased cross-country capability and a single water jet for propulsion through water. Externally, it differs from the BRDM due to a larger, box-like hull. It retains the boat-like bow of the BRDM, but the crew compartment has been moved farther forward and the engine has been moved to the rear. In the basic model, a small conical turret is mounted on the hull in a central position above the belly wheels. There are two front cupolas, and vision blocks are located centrally on both sides. The engine is larger than in the BRDM (140hp V-8 as opposed to 90hp 6-cylinder). The BRDM-2 is fitted with an IR spotlight and IR driving lights as well as an NBC filter system.</p> <ul> <li>Item No : 05514</li> <li>Item Name : Russian BRDM-2UM</li> <li>Bar Code : 9580208055145</li> <li>Scale : 1:35</li> <li>Item Type : Static Kit</li> <li>Model Brief : Length:164.7 mm Width:65 mm</li> <li>Total Parts : 220+</li> <li>Metal Parts : n/a</li> <li>Photo Etched Parts : 1 piece</li> <li>Film Parts : n/a</li> <li>Resin Parts : n/a</li> <li>Total Sprues : 7 sprues , lower hull , top hull and tires</li> <li>Paint Schemes : Russian Army</li> <li>Released Date : 2012-10</li> </ul> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Multi-slide moulded lower hull</li> <li>Rubber tires w/fine detail</li> <li>Photo-etched parts included</li> </ul>

<p>Jagdtiger ("Hunting Tiger") is the common name of a German casemate heavy tank destroyer of World War II. The official German designation was Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B as it was based on a lengthened Tiger II chassis. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 186. The 71-tonne Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle used operationally during World War II and is the heaviest armored vehicle of any type to achieve series production. The vehicle carried a 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 main gun, capable of out-ranging and defeating any Allied tank. It saw service in small numbers from late 1944 to the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. Although 150 were ordered, only between 70 and 88 were produced. Due to excessive weight, the Jagdtiger was continuously plagued with mechanical problems.</p> <p>The Jagdtiger was first issued on September 1944 to the Western front in the hands of the 512th and 653rd Heavy Panzerjäger Battalions. Otto Carius, a Tiger Ace, commanded the 2nd Company of 512th to defend against the Allied offensives. He comments that the Jagdtigers could not be brought to their full potential on the battlefield due to many pressing issues. The two most pressing issues of the Jagdtiger was the mechanical failures and lack of crew training on the heavy beasts. The mechanical issues forced many Jagdtigers to be disabled and eventually destroyed by their own crew as they abandoned it. Only 20% of the Jagdtigers on the Western Front were lost in combat, the rest was due to the mechanical failures or out of fuel.</p> <p>Today, three Jagdtigers survive in museums. One is in Bovington Tank Museum in England, which is one of the 11 Porsche-suspension version and was captured on April 1945 by the British. Another is a Henschel-version at the National Armor &amp; Cavalry Museum in Fort Benning, Georgia of America after being moved from the US Army Ordnance Museum, this was captured on March 1945. The last is in Kubinka Tank Museum in Russia, a Henschel-version that was captured on May 5, 1945, in Austria and is in the best mint condition of the three survivors.</p>

<p>The T-72 is the second new type of main battle tank produced by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is based on the 172 project development and introduced some features of the T-64A. The T-72 is the most widely produced main battle tank after World War II. The change is second only to the T-54/55 series, and later evolved into the T-90 main battle tank. </p>
