<p>At 42,343 tons, the Bismarck was the largest and most modern battleship in the world (along with the Hood) in her day. On May 24, 1941, in a naval battle together with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, she sank the largest British battle cruiser, the Hood, with the 5th salvo of her 38-cm guns at the pack ice limit off Greenland. Launched at Blohm &amp; Voss in Hamburg on February 14, 1940, she was, together with the identical Tirpitz, the most modern ship and the prestige object of the German navy. At 251 meters long, the top of the mast reached 52 meters above the water surface. A total of 17,450 tons of steel were used for armor protection. The newly designed heavy artillery fired 800 kg projectiles up to a range of 34.2 km, penetrating 350 mm armor up to 21 km. While the Prinz Eugen received no hits in the May 24 engagement, the bow-damaged Bismarck set course for a French port. During the subsequent pursuit by British ships and aircraft, the ship was shot out of action by numerically superior forces of Home Fleet after a torpedo hit the steering gear on May 27, 1941, and sank in the Atlantic some 800 km off the French coast. Of 2,092 men on board, 115 survived.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Four detailed 38 cm gun turrets</p> </li> <li> <p>Twelve 15 cm guns</p> </li> <li> <p>Sixteen 10.5 cm anti-aircraft guns</p> </li> <li> <p>Searchlights with clear parts</p> </li> <li> <p>Ten lifeboats</p> </li> <li> <p>Two Arado 196 seaplanes with glass canopy</p> </li> <li> <p>Two detailed cranes</p> </li> <li> <p>Display stand</p> </li> <li> <p>Camouflage instructions and decals for two operational periods</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Scope of delivery</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Kit incl. building instructions and decals</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Specifications</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Age:14+</p> </li> <li> <p>Number of parts:659</p> </li> <li> <p>Length:718 mm</p> </li> </ul>

<h3>Despite its importance in Japanese Naval History, the CV Shoho has never seen the light of day in standard injection plastic...until now!</h3> <p>Major ship components are faithfully reproduced. In particular, the detail on the flight deck is quite well done. Antennas, always difficult to reproduce in 1/700, are solid so super-detailers will want to pick up a set of photo-etched replacements. Antennas can be mounted in either the battle (horizontal) or standard configurations. </p> <p>Includes 10 aircraft.</p>

<p>Kasuga Maru is a Japanese passenger ship from World War II. The keel for this unit was laid in January 1940, and the launch took place in September of the same year. The full displacement of the ship at the time of launching was approximately 20,300 tons, length - 180.2 m, and width 22.5 meters. The maximum speed was around 25 knots. Kasuga Maru was commissioned by the Nippon Yusen shipping lines, and its construction took place at a shipyard in Nagasaki, owned by Mitsubishi. The vessel was one of the three Nitta Maru ships, which were to carry out passenger transport mainly on routes leading to Europe and - to a lesser extent - to the United States. At the same time, however, ships of this type were built in such a way that they could be converted into light aircraft carriers as easily and as quickly as possible. For this reason, their construction was co-financed by the Japanese Navy. The latter reason meant that as early as 1941 Kasuga Maru found its way to the Navy, where it was rebuilt into the Taiyo aircraft carrier.</p> <p>This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.</p>

<p>The UH-1N Huey is a medium military helicopter in service since 1969 with the United States military. The UH-1N Huey has been in production since April 1969 and is used by the US Marines, The US Navy, the US Air Force, as well as the Canadian Armed forces.</p>

<p>HMS Naiad was a Dido-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy which served in the Second World War. She was sunk in action on 11 March 1942 south of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea.</p> <p>She was built by Hawthorn Leslie and Company (Hebburn-on-Tyne, UK), her keel being laid down on 26 August 1937. She was launched on 3 February 1939, and commissioned 24 July 1940.</p> <p>She initially joined the Home Fleet and was used for ocean trade protection duties. As part of the 15th Cruiser Squadron she took part in operations against German raiders following the sinking of the armed merchant cruiser Jervis Bay in November 1940. During that month she was involved in the destruction of the German weather ship Hinrich Freese off Jan Mayen. In December and January she escorted convoys to Freetown in Sierra Leone, but at the end of January 1941 was back in northern waters where she briefly sighted the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau south of Iceland as they were about to break out into the Atlantic (Operation Berlin). By May 1941 Naiad was with Force H in the Mediterranean on Malta convoy operations, and flagship of the 15th Cruiser Squadron. Naiad participated in the Crete operations, where she was badly damaged by German aircraft. She subsequently operated against Vichy French forces in Syria, where, together with the cruiser Leander, she engaged the French destroyer Guépard. For the remainder of her service, she was in the Mediterranean, mostly connected with the continual attempts to resupply Malta.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <p>The kit contains over 600 parts</p> </li> <li> <p>The hull made from two-directional slide molds</p> </li> <li> <p>Deck wood pattern finely rendered</p> </li> <li> <p>Contains display stand</p> </li> <li> <p>Photo etched parts included</p> </li> </ul>
