The Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion is a heavy, American-made transport helicopter with a metal structure in a classic layout with a main rotor and a tail rotor on the beam. The drive is provided by two General Electric T-64-GE-413 engines with a capacity of 3925 KM each. The flight of the first prototype took place in 1964, and serial production continued in 1966-1978. It is estimated that about 510 copies of this helicopter were built. The Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion was created in response to a tender for a new transport helicopter launched by the Marine Corps in 1959. The new machine was to be able to launch freely, have a loading ramp at the rear of the hull and carry about 50-60 soldiers. All these criteria were met by the machine of the Sikorsky concern. Many development versions of this very solid helicopter were created in the course of serial production. One of them was the CH-53D version with a stronger hull structure, better performance and higher lifting capacity. Another was the search and rescue version, designated CH-53GE. There were also versions dedicated to foreign recipients with changed avionics or engines (e.g. CH-53G created for the needs of German aviation of land forces). The CH-53 helicopter took an active part in the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975). It has also been exported to several countries, including Austria, Germany, Israel and Mexico. Features Tail boom can be built straight or folded Rear ramp can be built open or closed Two pilot figures included Highly detailed cockpit and landing gear Fully engraved panel lines

Leonardo Da Vinci (born in 1452, died in 1519) was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant people of the Renaissance and is widely regarded as one of the most talented people in history. He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. One of his many inventive designs was a specific Leverage Crane, which used a ratchet mechanism and a rack and pinion mechanism. This crane was supposed to be able to lift materials of considerable mass, using a relatively small force acting on its mechanisms. The use of a ratchet mechanism also meant that the crane could only turn in one direction during rotation. It is worth adding that during the design of this device, Leonardo da Vinci proved to be a great expert on the principles of mechanics. In addition to many iconic works of art and inventions, the restless mind of Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) was frequently occupied with adding to his voluminous notebooks, filled with designs for machines and structures. This model kit reproduces one of those designs -- a leverage crane! Attach the included weight to the cable and use the ratchet lever to lift it up. This kit assembles without the need for glue, and instructions in English are included. This is an assembly kit of a space exploration vehicle or other non-fictional mechanism.

Leonardo Da Vinci (born in 1452, died in 1519) was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant people of the Renaissance and is widely regarded as one of the most talented people in history. He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. One of the areas of knowledge that this outstanding man was particularly interested in were issues related to the flight of a man in the air. He created numerous designs of flying machines in this matter, and among them one can find a design that, to a very remote extent, can be considered the progenitor of modern helicopters. The project assumed the construction of a wooden aircraft, driven by a spiral-shaped rotor, similar in shape to the so-called worm screw. The rotor would be constructed of wood and stiff cloth. The propulsion was to be provided by four men who would move on the platform at the bottom of the aircraft. It is worth adding that the first designs of this aircraft were probably created around 1480, but more mature sketches can be found in the so-called The Atlantic Codex, i.e. the collection of notes by Leonardo da Vinci from 1489-1492. In addition to many iconic works of art and inventions, the restless mind of Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) was frequently occupied with adding to his voluminous notebooks, filled with designs for machines and structures. This model kit reproduces one of those designs -- a rotorcraft flying machine! Although Da Vinci's design is physically unable to achieve flight, you can easily see how this device contributed to the invention of the modern helicopter. The spring can be wound and the wings rotated after assembly. This kit assembles without the need for glue, and instructions in English are included. This is an assembly kit of a space exploration vehicle or other non-fictional mechanism.

Leonardo Da Vinci (born in 1452, died in 1519) was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant people of the Renaissance and is widely regarded as one of the most talented people in history. He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. His great talent in this matter was realized on many levels (flying machines, cannons, etc.), including in the field that today could be called civil engineering. A prime example of this is the design of the Arch Bridge, which would be made of wood. Its biggest advantage would be the possibility of rapid erection and relatively low cost. It is worth adding that if it were to be built, it would in fact be a self-supporting bridge of considerable strength. This seemingly simple design also shows Leonardo Da Vinci's considerable knowledge of the horizontal forces acting on structures and the arc loads on them. He probably acquired his knowledge during his stay in Milan in the years 1487-1489. This model of the famous arch bridge designed by Leonardo da Vinci uses a self-supporting arch concept to distribute weight throughout the full curve of the arch. Glue and paint are not required for this easily-assembled kit. Includes a sturdy cardboard storage box for parts. This is a model kit of a building or other structure.

Leonardo Da Vinci (born in 1452, died in 1519) was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant people of the Renaissance and is widely regarded as one of the most talented people in history. He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. His great talent was also realized in the construction of war machines and artillery. One of his projects was the so-called Spingard. It was, in essence, a design of a field cannon on a two-wheeled tow truck, which had a wooden "artillery shield" on top to protect the gunner from enemy fire. Interestingly, the project also assumed the use of a mechanism that allows the barrel to rotate horizontally, without moving the entire trailer. Originally, it was assumed to fire from this machine with stone balls and various types of large arrows. Later, however - most likely - Leonardo tended to use shotguns. It is worth adding that the sketch of this gun is located in the so-called The Atlantic Codex, i.e. the collection of notes by Leonardo da Vinci from 1489-1492. In addition to many iconic works of art and inventions, the restless mind of Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) was frequently occupied with adding to his voluminous notebooks, filled with designs for machines and structures. This model kit reproduces one of those designs -- a retractable cannon! The elevation angle and azimuth angle can be changed, and it also can be loaded and fire spear-shaped parts. This kit assembles without the need for glue, and instructions in English are included. This is an assembly kit of a space exploration vehicle or other non-fictional mechanism. Features Easy to build Complete step-by-step instructions No glue, no paint and no tools needed Beautifully detailed

Leonardo Da Vinci (born in 1452, died in 1519) was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant people of the Renaissance and is widely regarded as one of the most talented people in history. He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. One of his great passions was music, and this passion led to the design of one of Leonardo's most unusual inventions - the Mechanical Drum. Based on two drawings from the Atlantic Codex, i.e. a collection of notes by Leonardo da Vinci from 1489-1492, it can be concluded that the drum was designed to be used in a variety of situations - both military and civil. The construction was based on placing the drum in front of the device and the use of two wooden rollers rotated by a crank, to which the sticks were to be attached to beat the beat. Interestingly, the sticks and rollers could be set to punch the desired rhythm or melody. The drum was also placed on a circular "chassis", which mechanically beat the rhythm as the device was moved! In addition to many iconic works of art and inventions, the restless mind of Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) was frequently occupied with adding to his voluminous notebooks, filled with designs for machines and structures. This model kit reproduces one of those designs -- a mechanical drum fitted with a device to play it automatically! It can be assembled on a cart or a stand; assembles without the need for glue, and instructions in English are included. This is an assembly kit of a space exploration vehicle or other non-fictional mechanism.

He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. One of the areas that he was keenly interested in was the then military technology, and among the designs of his inventions, you can also find a much improved catapult. This modernization consisted mainly in the addition of two wooden, flexible arms that moved the lever to which in turn was attached a beam with a catapult missile. Thanks to this seemingly simple innovation, the power of the shot increased significantly, which allowed to increase the range of the fire or the penetrating force of the bullet. It is worth adding that Leonardo probably assumed the use of stone or cast metal projectiles. It is worth adding that a few sketches of the above-described catapult are in the so-called The Atlantic Codex, i.e. the collection of notes by Leonardo da Vinci from 1489-1492.

One of Leonardo's most avant-garde projects was that of a self-propelled stroller, sometimes considered a very distant progenitor of today's cars. The project assumed the use of two symmetrical springs in this vehicle, one of which would set the device in motion, and the other would be a kind of "lifebuoy" in the event of damage to the first one. At the same time, Leonardo da Vinci assumed the use of a balance wheel, known at that time from watch mechanisms, in order to give the entire machinery the desired balance and stability of work. Some researchers look for a mechanism similar to the d differential (differential) in this vehicle. A working model of Leonardo Da Vinci's self-propelling cart design!

USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier. The keel for this unit was laid in 1958, the launch took place in September 1960, and the commissioning to the US Navy took place in 1961. The total length of the ship was 342 meters, the overall width was 78.4 meters, and her full displacement was about 93,000 tons. The maximum speed was up to 33 knots. The on-board armament included, among others: three Sea Sparrow rocket launchers and three 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx CIWS sets. Later, two launchers for the RIM-116 missile were also added. The aircraft carrier could take up to 90 aircraft on board, but normally operated 60-70 planes and helicopters. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65, commonly known as Big "E") was the first and only ship of her type. Very high construction costs, well above the original assumption, led to the cancellation of five planned units of this type. The USS Enterprise, however, was unique not only because of this, but also because it was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in history to have as many as eight nuclear reactors on board! The unit received very modern for those times electronic equipment in the form of e.g. SCANFAR radar. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), very shortly after its entry into service, took part in the maritime blockade of Cuba in 1962. Two years later, he operated in the Mediterranean. The unit also took an active part in the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975), fighting in it from the very beginning. In 1969, a tragic accident occurred on the carrier, the self-ignition of one of the missiles, killing 28 people and injuring 334. In 1986, the USS Enterprise became the first nuclear carrier to cross the Suez Canal. Shortly after that, the carrier's on-board planes bombed targets in Libya. The unit was decommissioned in 2012. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was an American aircraft carrier, the keel of which was laid in 1934, launched in October 1936, and commissioned with the US Navy in May 1938. The ship was 252 m long, 33.4 m wide, and her full displacement at the time of launching was 25,500 tons. The maximum speed of the USS Enterprise was around 32-33 knots, and its main armament consisted of 90 on-board planes. The USS Enterprise was the second Yorktown-class aircraft carrier. The experience gained during the operation of Lexington-type vessels was used in the construction of this type of ship. First of all, it was decided to build relatively large aircraft carriers, with the greatest emphasis on the number of planes taken and the maximum speed, at the expense of armor. So they were going in the same direction as the Japanese designers, and in the opposite direction to the British Royal Navy. It is worth adding that the construction of the aircraft carrier popularly known as "Big E" was part of the program of rebuilding the American economy after the Great Depression of 1929, launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During its long and well-deserved service, the USS Enterprise was modernized several times: in 1940 it received an air surveillance radar (type CXAM-1), and later in 1942 it received a new SC-2 radar. In the course of the fighting in the Pacific, the anti-aircraft weapons were also changed, which in October 1943 had 40 40 mm cannons and 50 20 mm cannons. At the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific, the USS Enterprise was near Pearl Harbor and, shortly after the Japanese attack, took part in a fruitless search for its attackers. In April 1942, the carrier covered the famous Doolittle Raid in Tokyo. Following this operation, he played one of the most important roles in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Later in 1942, the USS Enterprise was intensively involved in naval operations in the Guadalcanal area, for example in the Battle of Santa Cruz Island. In November 1943 he covered the American landings on Tarawa and Makin. In early 1944 he took part in the fighting in the Marshall Islands area, and in June of that year he took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. In 1945, it supported the American operations on Iwo-Jima and Okinawa, being damaged in their course. It was taken off the line and scrapped in 1960. The USS Enterprise was one of the most distinguished and decorated ships of the US Navy during World War II. Detailed plastic model kit including detailed instructions, decals and in some cases other accessories (etchings, resin and others). Paints and glue are not part of the product and must be purchased separately. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

USS Missouri (BB-63) was an American battleship laid down in 1941, launched in January 1944, and commissioned in the US Navy in June 1944. The length of the ship was 270.4 m, width 33 m, and her full displacement - at the time of launching - 58,400 tons. The top speed of the USS Missouri battleship was up to 33 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 20 127 mm guns. The USS Missouri was the third of the six Iowa-class battleships ordered. As it turned out, with the Montana-class battleship building program failing, the Iowa-class battleships were the last to be launched for the US Navy. As they were built without any financial or displacement limits, they also turned out to be the most technologically advanced American battleships in World War II. From the outset, they were built as key carrier ships for aircraft carriers and placed great emphasis on high top speed, which made Iowa-class battleships much faster than any other American battleships. They also had carefully crafted armor and new 406 mm Mk. VII with a greater range of the effective shot. USS Missouri (BB-63) began its participation in World War II in December 1944, by ferrying from Atlantic ports to Hawaii. As early as January 1945, he supported the US Marines on Iwo-Jima with his artillery. In March this year, the USS Missouri acted as a shield ship for a team of aircraft carriers that attacked targets on the Japanese Islands with their on-board planes. In April, he supported activities in the Okinawa region. The battleship completed its operations in World War II in a very glorious and representative manner - it was on board that the representatives of Japan signed the act of unconditional surrender of their country on September 2, 1945. The ship also took an active part in the Korean War (1950-1953). In 1956, however, he was placed in the reserve. In the 1980s, he returned to line service, having previously undergone a thorough modernization. It involved the installation of modern electronics and fire control systems, as well as the installation of Tomahawk and Harpoon rocket launchers and Phalanx anti-aircraft systems. The battleship was also adapted to the homing of on-board helicopters. The ship modernized in this way took an active part in the protection of tankers in the Persian Gulf region in 1987, in the final phase of the Iran-Iraq war. He returned to these waters in 1990 to take an active part in Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) firing rockets and on-board artillery at targets in Iraq. Finally, in 1992, the ship was decommissioned. At present, it serves as a museum ship in Hawaii. Features Snap-together assembly (I used glue in my quick build) Optional waterline display Optional display stand for full-hull display Lots of anti-aircraft batteries provided Nicely detailed superstructure Two SC-1 Seahawks and two catapults provided Large sheet of yellow-tape masks for the decks, AAA gun wells, and upper surfaces of the main and 5 inch gun turrets Set of photo-etched parts which provide railings, radar antennas, and other details

THE USS Missouri (BB-63), (“Mighty Mo” or “Big Mo”) is a United States Navy Iowa-class battleship and was the third ship of the U.S. Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of Missouri. Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and was best remembered as the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended World War II. Missouri received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, and was finally decommissioned on 31 March 1992. She remained on the Naval Vessel Register until January 1995. Features ALL NEW TOOLING!

USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was an American classic-propelled aircraft carrier. The keel for this unit was laid in 1956, the launch took place in May 1960, and the commissioning to the US Navy took place in 1961. The total length of the ship was 323 meters, the overall width was 86 meters, and her displacement was about 84,000 tons. The maximum speed did not exceed 33 knots. The on-board armament initially consisted of Terrier rocket launchers (later replaced by Sea Sparrow launchers, and later - by RIM-116 launchers) and up to 4 sets of Vulcan Phalanx CIWS cal. 20 mm. The aircraft carrier could take up to 85-90 aircraft on board. The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was the lead ship of the carrier class of the same name - Kitty Hawk. The ships of this type were essentially a modernized version of the Forrestal ships. The main changes concerned the enlargement of ships, changes to the layout of the airlifts and the flight deck. The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was built at New York Shipbuilding. Shortly after entering service, the carrier was directed to the Pacific and assigned to the United States' 7th Fleet. In the years 1962-1964, the unit courteously visited the ports of Japan and the Philippines. Since 1965, the USS Kitty Hawk on-board aircraft attacked targets in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In 1980, the unit underwent modernization and extended service life under the SLEP program. Four years later (1984), there was a collision between the aircraft carrier and a Soviet Victor-class submarine. Ultimately, the USS Kitty Hawk was decommissioned in 2009.

The clippers, especially those built in the second half of the nineteenth century, were perhaps the most beautiful ships ever built and represented the pinnacle of maritime engineering in the "golden age of sails". The best known of them is undoubtedly "Cutty Sark". This sailing ship was built in 1869 at the special request of the famous Scottish shipowner, Captain John Willis at the Clyde shipyard. The assumption of the project was to build a ship capable of defeating the then fastest clipper "Thermopylae", launched just a year earlier. To achieve the intended goal, the latest technologies and the highest quality materials were used. Paradoxically, it was the costs of materials and highly skilled labor that caused the original contractor to go bankrupt and the construction had to be completed by another, neighboring shipyard. When the operation was finally successfully completed, the fastest ship of that time was obtained, which, thanks to the enormous sail area, achieved a speed of over 17 knots. Of course, such an exaggerated performance was not only intended to serve propaganda purposes, but also to be used in practice. Cutty Sark's job was to transport tea from China to Great Britain. Time played a big role here because the faster the fresh harvest was delivered to the London market, the more they got the price. Each year, the journey from China was a real race and at the same time a torment for the crew, mercilessly urged by the captain, who, in the hope of rewarding money and prestige, was once again trying to break the speed record. The good times for clippers ended at the end of the 19th century, when they were no longer able to cope with the competition from modern steam ships. The Cutty Sark met the fate of many other tall ships. In 1895, it was sold to a Portuguese company, where it served as a tramp for many years, and then a barge with no sails. In June 1922, a retired sea wolf, Captain Dowman, bought the dilapidated ship and towed it to England. There, after many years of work, the Cutty Sark was restored to its former glory, primarily by installing new, although in accordance with the original sails, and in 1938 the Thames Nautical Training College in Greenhithe was presented as a training ship. In 1952, an association working for the Cutty Sark was established and it was on his initiative that five years later the legendary sailing ship finally ended its colorful career and permanently anchored at the Greenwich quay. Technical data: Displacement: 2,100 t, length: 85.1 m, width: 10.9 m, draft: 6 m, speed: up to 17.5 knots, crew: 28-35 people. This model kit from Academy is a must-have for any enthusiast of militaria. The 1:350 scale clipper ship Cutty Sark is a stunning addition to any collection.

HMS Warspite was a British battleship laid down in 1912, launched in November 1913, and commissioned in the Royal Navy in March 1915. The total length of the ship was 195 m, width 27.6 m, and full displacement - 33,400 tons. The maximum speed of battleship Warspite was around 25 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was eight 381 mm guns in four twin turrets. The secondary armament consists of 12 152mm guns, 2 76mm guns, 4 47mm pom-poms, and 4 533mm torpedo tubes. HMS Warspite was one of five Queen Elizabeth-class battleships. Battleships of this type were built just before the outbreak of World War I, as a British response to the rapid naval armament of the Second German Reich. They are often referred to as super-dreadnoughts - for the first time in the history of the navy, 381 mm artillery with 42-caliber barrels was used on them, and for the first time battleships reached a speed of about 25 knots. Many of the solutions used on this type were reflected in later British battleships. All ships of the Queen Elizabeth class also underwent significant modifications in the interwar period: first of all, they received new engine rooms, better and more efficient boilers, their armor was thickened, the profile of superstructures was changed and the anti-aircraft artillery was significantly expanded. Thanks to these upgrades, these ships were not inferior to other German or Italian battleships, as well as many Japanese battleships - with the exception of the Yamato class. The HMS Warspite battleship was built at the Dockyard shipyard in Devonport. From the moment he entered service, he was part of the Grand Fleet and, as part of it, took part in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, in which he did not suffer any serious damage. For the rest of World War I, he did not enter into any serious combat contact with German ships. However, he took part in the internment of German units in Scapa Flow. In the interwar period, it served both in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Mediterranean Sea. His glorious and rich combat route during World War II began with the struggle at Narvik in April 1940, contributing significantly to the Allied success in the so-called II Naval Battle of Narvik on April 13, 1940. Shortly thereafter, he was transferred to the Mediterranean Sea where he took part in the Battle of Cape Matapan (March 1941). In the second half of 1941, he was sent to the USA for modernization, which lasted until the end of that year. In early 1942, it found its way to the Indian Ocean, but later returned to the Mediterranean Sea - shortly before the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. In September of that year, it supported the Allied landing at Salerno, where it suffered severe damage. After the renovation, it supported the Allied forces landing in Normandy in June 1944 with their artillery fire. The last time he took part in the action was November 1944. After the war, in July 1946, it was scrapped. Academy's detailed kit of the British battleship HMS Warspite as it appeared in 1943. Includes photo-etched metal detail parts and a display stand.

Admiral Graf Spee was a German heavy cruiser, also known as a pocket battleship, the keel of which was laid in 1931 and launched in June 1934. The battleship entered the rope service in the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in January 1936. The ship was 186 m long, 21.6 m wide, and had a full displacement of 16,200 tons. The maximum speed of Admiral Graf Spee was around 28-29 knots. The main armament was 6 280 mm guns in two triple turrets, and the secondary armament included: 8 150 mm guns or 6 105 mm guns. Admiral Graf Spee was one of three Deutschland class ships launched in the 1930s. The ships of this type were theoretically built in accordance with the provisions of the Versailles Treaty of 1919, which imposed the maximum displacement on German ships, but in fact their full displacement clearly exceeded these limits. Deutschland-type units were built in such a way as to have an overwhelming advantage in the artillery battle with any British or French heavy cruiser. The combat career of Admiral Graf Spee began during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). However, his participation in World War II was very short - on August 21, 1939, he sailed to the South Atlantic, and at the end of September that year he was ordered to attack every Allied merchant ship. From September 30 to December 7, 1939, he sank 9 British merchant ships. On December 13, 1939, it was detected at the mouth of the La Plata River by Allied ships (the so-called G squadron). There he fought a short battle with the Allied forces, and then was blocked by them in port. As a result, it was self-sunk by the crew on December 17, 1939.
