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

USS Yorktown (CV-5) was an American aircraft carrier laid down in 1934, launched in April 1936, and commissioned with the US Navy in September 1937. The ship was 246.7 meters long, 33.4 meters wide, and had a full displacement of 25,500 tons. The top speed of the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier was around 32-33 knots, and its main armament consisted of 85 on-board planes. USS Yorktown was the first class aircraft carrier to bear the same name. 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 USS Yorktown was in line with the program of rebuilding the American economy after the Great Depression of 1929, launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the time of joining the USS Navy, the USS Yorktown belonged to the Atlantic Fleet, but often cooperated with ships belonging to the Pacific Fleet. Ultimately, almost immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (December 1941), it was transferred to the Pacific Ocean, and from January 1942 it belonged to Task Force 17. In February 1942, USS Yorktown took part in air attacks against Japanese forces in Gilbert and Marshall Islands, and then operated in the Coral Sea. In May 1942, he took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea, where it was badly damaged, but thanks to a lightning-fast repair made at Pearl Harbor, he was able to take part in the struggle at Midway in June 1942. In the course of this battle - as a result of an attack by Japanese on-board planes and a torpedo attack by a Japanese submarine - it sank on June 7, 1942. Academy's newest model kit of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier CV-5 USS Yorktown is precisely molded to represent all her superstructures and flight decks! The kit can be assembled as a full-hull or waterline version; carrier-based aircraft (SBD, TBD, F4F) are included too.  This is an injection-plastic ship model kit. Features Size: 35.3cm long, 5cm wide when completed

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.

The RMS Titanic is a British ocean liner built for the White Star Line shipping line. The launch took place on May 30, 1911 at the Harland and Wolff shipyard. Hailed as a marvel of marine engineering, the Titanic was considered unsinkable. This legend turned out to be untrue during its maiden voyage, when the liner hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank along with about 1,500 people on the night of April 14-15, 1912. It was one of the most spectacular sea disasters of the 20th century. Technical data: displacement (full): 46300t, length: 269m, width: 29.41m, draft: 10.5m, maximum speed: 24w, crew: 892 people and 1324 passengers. Academy's detailed full-hull kit of the Titanic in 1/400 scale will measure 67cm long when assembled. Includes display stand with nameplate.

Charles W. Morgan is an American sailing whaling vessel that was launched in 1841 and performed its functions until 1920. It is worth adding, however, that the ship made its last voyage in November 1941! At the time of launching, the unit was approx. 34 m long, approx. 8.4 m wide and with a draft of approx. 4.2 m. The displacement reached approx. 350 tons. Charles W. Morgan was designed and built at the Jetrho ana Zacaharian Hillman shipyard in the city New Bedford, Massachusetts. It is worth adding that the city was famous in the nineteenth century for its whaling traditions and was a kind of "capital" of American whaling at that time. It is therefore not surprising that this is where, first of all, specialized shipyards for the manufacture of cetacean vessels were established. Ship Charles W. Morgan has made 37 voyages in the course of his long career. It was converted into a museum ship in the 1940s and is now the only surviving 19th century American whaling ship. In 1966, the ship was renamed National Historic Landmark. This high quality plastic kit is a to scale model that will require assembly and may require additional tools, sold separately.

The Jagdpanther was a German WWII tank destroyer. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in 1943, and serial production continued in the period 1944-1945, ending with the production of 392 cars. The Jagdpanther was powered by a 700hp Maybach HL 230 P30 single engine. It was armed with 1 88mm PaK 43 L / 71 gun and 1 7.92mm MG34 machine gun. The Jagdpanther was created in response to the demand announced in August 1942 by the German army for a new tank destroyer. In response to this demand, the cooperating plants Krupp and Daimler-Benz developed a preliminary technical specification based on the chassis of the PzKpfw V Panther tank and models that were approved by the German army. The new tank destroyer had powerful armament, capable of destroying any enemy vehicle in the period 1944-1945, as well as well-profiled armor - especially at the front of the vehicle. The disadvantages were the complicated production process and high unit costs of the vehicle, which effectively slowed down serial production. Jagdpanther made his debut on the battlefield in the summer of 1944 in Normandy, then fought against the Western Allies in France and in the Ardennes operation at the turn of 1944-1945. It appeared on the Eastern Front in the fall of 1944, successfully fighting both the T-34 and the heavy IS-2. After World War II, Jagdpanther served in the French army until the 1960s! The Jagdpanther G1 was a heavy tank destroyer adopted by the German Army in the second half of World War II. This model kit from Academy reproduces the initial production type with its characteristic armor color. The kit has a moderately reduced number of parts for ease of assembly; its unique form with its inclined armor is precisely molded for accuracy. Two types of 88mm barrels can be selected -- a one-piece type and a two-piece type. The tracks are partially split; photo-etched parts for the net to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine room are included. Decals for four versions are included, centered on the 654th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, a combatant on the Normandy Front. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes Photo-etched parts, decals for 4 versions Size 28.2cm long, 9.3cm wide when completed

The M3 / M5 Stuart is an American light tank from the Second World War. The history of the M3 began in 1940, when the US Army saw the need to replace the old M2 with a more modern design. After several months of testing, the American Car and Foundry company released the first serial copy of the new tank, designated M3, in March 1941. The production of this successful tank lasted until 1945 and ended with the production of over 22,000 units! The M3 was powered by a Continental W-970-9A 7-cylinder engine with a capacity of 250 HP or a 9-cylinder Guilberson T-1020-4 diesel engine with a capacity of 210 HP. On the other hand, the M5 tank was powered by two coupled Cadillac V-8 engines with a capacity of 220 HP each. In total, several versions of the M3 tank were created. The first production series was marked M3, the next was M3A1, which min. was stripped of the watchtower and no longer had side machine guns. The M3A3 model entered production in 1943, with numerous improvements from the fighting in North Africa. Production of the M5 also began in March 1942, which was essentially a modification of the M3. The M5 tank was made in only two versions: M5 and M5A1. The latter had an elongated turret, an improved cannon mount and a new machine gun mount on the turret. The last modification was not used on all tanks of this version. The M8 self-propelled gun was also created on the basis of the M3 / M5 tank. The tanks were massively exported to Great Britain under the Lend and Lease Act program. In the American and British service, they served in North Africa, Italy, Normandy, and in the battles in France and Germany in 1944-1945. Tanks in the declining period of the war were replaced by the M24 Chaffe. The M3 / M5 Stuart is recognized as one of the best light tanks of World War II. Satisfactory range, speed and maneuverability all made him highly valued by his crews. Technical data (M3A3 version): length (with a barrel): 4.52m, width: 2.24m, height: 2.52m, engine power: 210-250KM, range: 217km, maximum speed (on the road): 58km / h, armament: 1 M6 37mm cannon, 2 7.62mm M1919 machine guns. The M3 Stuart is a light tank used by the U.S. Army. Academy's model kit features a precisely molded interior, including the battle room and engine. The tracks can be selected from the belt type or connected assembly type. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The Merkava (Hebrew for chariot) is an Israeli main battle tank designed since 1974 and entered mass production in 1979. The design team worked under the supervision of Maj. Gen. Izrael Tal - one of the most prominent Israeli armored officers. Merkava is the result of the Israeli army's experience in the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. The Israeli Defense Forces commissioned the Merkava tank design to guarantee itself an independent source of heavy combat machinery. The designers of the vehicle were primarily guided by the idea of surviving the vehicle on the battlefield, which is why the Merkava is distinguished by an innovative armor that perfectly protects the crew members, and in the event of damage, it allows you to quickly replace the defective element. The concept of placing the engine at the front of the vehicle is also unique. Four production series were created: Mk.I, Mk.II, Mk.III and Mk.IV, which has been in production since 2001. Compared to the earlier versions in the Mk. III, the suspension has been significantly improved, thus improving the performance and comfort for the crew. A 120mm cannon was also installed, instead of a 105mm cannon. The Mk.III version also has the CVIS command system, which significantly increases its combat value. The armor, guidance and observation systems of the battlefield have been improved in the latest version. According to the fairly unanimous opinion of experts, Merkava and its subsequent modifications provide the Israeli Defense Forces with a decisive advantage over the armored potential of their Arab opponents. Technical data (version Mk.II): length (with a barrel): 8.63m, width: 3.7m, height: 2.66m, weight 60t, engine power: 900KM, speed (on the road): 46 km / h, armament: 1 105mm smoothbore cannon, 3 km caliber 7.62mm and one 60mm mortar. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M113 is an American armored personnel carrier. The first designs were created in 1956, and serial production at FMC started in 1960. It lasted until 1987 and resulted in the production of 73,000 copies of this vehicle for the US Army's own needs as well as for export. The M113 entered service in as many as 45 countries, including Israel, Spain, Italy, Greece and Germany. The M113 is the most popular transport in the world and forms the basis for the world's largest family of armored vehicles. The M113 hull is constructed of steel and aluminum, with welded armor. This lowers the weight, but protects the crew only against small caliber ammunition. The Israeli army uses Rafael TOGA armor to correct this shortcoming. The driving position is located at the front left and the engine at the front right of the vehicle. Landing soldiers (up to 7 people) sit on benches along the hull and start the fight via the ramp located at the back of the transporter, which is hydraulically lowered. The basic M113 is able to overcome water obstacles, driven by tracks. The M113 was involved in a very large number of conflicts among others. in the Vietnam War, in the Yom Kippur War, in Operation Desert Storm, and in the 2003 Iraq War. In the US Army, it is systematically replaced by the M2 Bradley car. Among the huge family based on the M113 chassis, one can mention the American M901, which is armed with a TOW launcher, or the Israeli M113 Fitter with a special crane mounted, which is the basic vehicle of the Israeli repair and repair services in armored battalions. Fitter is also used by Australia and Belgium. Technical data (version M113A3): length: 4.86m, width: 2.69m, height: 2.54m, weight 12.1t, engine power: 266KM, speed (on the road): 66km / h, armament: 1 machine gun 12.7mm caliber. In production over 30year, longer than any other armored vehicle, M113 and its many sub-types serve in the armies of more than 50 countries. As this is written, over 40,000 M113's or variants have been built and delivered. Battle proven in Vietnam, the M113 enabled a ten-man squad of infantry to travel behind protective armor in an amphibious vehicle that carried sufficient weapons to be considered an offensive weapon system. Its ability to ford streams or even cross lakes made it an extremely useful vehicle in the waterlogged jungles of Vietnam. As experience was gained with the use of the M113 in combat, numerous modifications were made to the vehicle to increase both its firepower and crew protection features. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Features Various types of cupolas & added arms included. Fully detailed interior of crew & engine compartments. Includes 5 figures & various accessories. Choice of one-piece flexible or individual tracks.

The McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) AH-64 helicopter was selected as the winner in the competition with Bell's YAH-63 in December 1976. The name Apache stuck to the helicopter in 1981. This highly efficient machine has four-blade rotors driven by two General Electric T700-701 turbine engines with a capacity of 1696HP. The vestigial wings are fitted with conventional trailing edge flaps, and a plate tail improves longitudinal steering. The two-man crew takes seats one after the other in the armored cabin. The pilot's seat is in the rear, and the weapon operator / gunner is in the front. The key to the universal use of the helicopter are the TADS systems on the gunner's stand and the PNVS systems used by the pilot. The TADS is a target-tracking laser marker and rangefinder set and a forward-facing infrared sensor that is duplicated by the normal optics. The PNVS system is a developed FLIR system that allows you to pilot a helicopter just above the ground in order to prevent or delay detection by the enemy's anti-aircraft defense. Apache helicopters took part in the operation in Panama in 1989, during the Desert Storm in 1991, or the last conflict in Iraq (2003). At the end of 1990, the construction of a new version of the helicopter began, equipped with a Martin / Westinghouse Longbow millimeter radar installed above the head to control the weapons. It is used to control the Rockwell AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles. Technical data: Top speed: 300 km / h; climb speed 12.7 m / s, maximum range (without external tanks): 689 km, armament: 30mm Hughes M230A1 Chain Gun fixed-1 cannon, and outboard armaments - most often Hellfire missiles. Academy brings us a 1/144-scale model kit of the U.S. Army and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's attack helicopter, the AH-64D/DJ Apache!

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (lightning) is a single-seat, single-engine multi-role fighter built by Lockheed Martin as a fifth generation machine, which is to meet the needs of the USAAF, US Navy, US Army and US Marine Corps. Originally the machine was called the X-35 JSF, but in 2006 it was changed to the F-35 Lightning II. Despite the fact that the main recipient will be the US government, the project is also co-financed by other countries, especially Great Britain, Italy and the Netherlands. The main contractors are: Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The overriding goal of the JSF idea is to create a universal machine, produced for all types of armed forces, which will allow for far-reaching standardization of spare parts and a significant reduction in costs. Finally, three versions of the F-35 (A, B and C) are to be built, which will have more than three-quarters of the same elements. The main task of the F-35 of all versions is to attack land targets, perform the tasks of a battlefield plane, air combat and electronic combat. It should be noted that the F-35 is designed for conflicts of a low intensity, in contrast to its larger "relative" F-22. Which does not change the fact that thanks to the propulsion unit used (Pratt-Whitney F135 engines), avionics and Stealth properties, it is one of the most modern multi-role aircraft in the world. The first serial F-35 was made in February 2006. Until now (2013), 63 aircraft of this type have been built. Technical data (version F-35A): Maximum speed: 1930 km / h, maximum ceiling 18288 m, maximum range: 2220 km, armament: fixed - one four-barrel General Dynamics GAU-22 / A 25mm cannon, suspended - up to 8100 kg load. This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

The Boeing EA-18G Growler is a modern American electronic combat aircraft. The prototype flight took place in 2006. Three years later, the machine entered the line in the US Navy and is still in it. In total, about 100 examples of this aircraft were built. The drive is provided by two motors turbofan General Electric F414-GE-400 . The aircraft has a maximum speed of 1.8 Ma and a maximum range of 3,300 kilometers. The unit price of the aircraft is $ 68.2 million (USD). The Boeing EA-18G Growler was created to replace the EA-6B Prowler in the US Navy. It was developed on the basis of the F / A-18 F Super Hornet machine and shares 90% of its components with it. However, it was created for completely different purposes and tasks - namely to disrupt and destroy all means of detection (mainly radars) of the enemy and thus increase the chances of success of US Navy combat missions. The main weapons of the Boeing EA-18G Growler are modern ALQ-99 jamming containers, but also anti-radar missiles (AGM-88) and a self-defense missile (AIM-120). Currently, the main user of the EA-18G is the US Navy. The only foreign recipient so far turned out to be Australia. The electronic fighter EA-18G Growler as adopted by the U.S. Navy gets a new model kit from Academy, complete with decals by Cartograf for three different aircraft from the VAQ-141 Shadow Hawks squadron, as well as decals for the Australian Air Force 6th Squadron. This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

McDonnell-Douglas / Northrop F / A-18 Hornet is an on-board fighter and attack aircraft capable of operating in all weather conditions. The roots of the F / A-18 go back to 1974 and the F-17 prototype, which was of interest to the US Navy command this year. The contract for the serial construction of the aircraft was concluded in 1976. In order to accelerate the work, the Northrop concern entered into cooperation with the McDonnell-Douglas concern. As a result, on November 18, 1978, the test flight of the prototype took place, and a year later, successful landings on the aircraft carrier. Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units with General Electric F404-GE-402 engines as the propulsion unit. The plane is produced in several versions. The first were the F-18A (fighter) and F-18B (training). Foreign orders from Spain, Canada and Australia appeared quickly. In 1987, a version of the F-18C was created, adapted to the use of AMRAAM missiles. A year later, the F / A-18D, a two-seat version of the F-18, entered service in all weather conditions, and could be used as an attack aircraft. On its basis, the reconnaissance version of the R / F-18D was created. The newest versions (the so-called Super Hornet) -F / A-18E and F / A-18F are very modified versions of the F / A-18D. They are characterized by an increased length of the fuselage, wingspan and their surface. They also have new General Electric F414 engines and a decidedly expanded and modernized avionics. They were presented for the first time in 1995. The EA-18G Growler electronic warfare plane was also created on the basis of the F-18. All versions of the F / A-18 met with favor of pilots, they are characterized by low failure rate, ease of use and very good flight parameters. Hornets took part in the operation against Libya in 1986 and in the Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Technical data (version F / A-18 C): Maximum speed: 1915 km / h, speed of climb: 254 m / s, practical ceiling 15 240 m, maximum range: 3340 km, operating radius: 280-740 km, armament: fixed- Single 20mm M61A-1 six-barrel cannon, underslung - up to 7700 kg of cargo. This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

The North American P-51 Mustang is an American, single-engine, long-range fighter and attack aircraft with a classic tail and all-metal construction. The flight of the prototype took place on October 26, 1940. The P-51 Mustang has earned a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, WWII fighter. Replacing the Allison V-1710-39 engine from the first project with a Rolls-Royce Merlin motor (P-51 Mustang Mk.Ia version) made the Mustang, like never before, reached perfection. Technical data (P-51D version): length: 9.83m, wingspan: 11.28m, height: 4.08m, maximum speed: 703km / h, rate of climb: 16.3m / s, maximum range: 2755km, ceiling practical: 12800m, armament: fixed - 6 12.7mm M2 machine guns, suspended - up to 908 kg of bombs or 10 127mm HVAR rocket launchers. This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

Experimental twin-engine carrier fighter aircraft developed by Grumman for the U.S. Navy in the late 1930s. Powered by two Wright R-1820 Cyclone counter-rotating radial engines, the Skyrocket’s top speed was 358 mph and could climb 10,000 ft in just over four minutes. During diving tests the Skyrocket reached a speed of 485 mph. One prototype was built and its first flight was on April 1st 1940. At the time it was the Navy’s largest fighter, with a wingspan of 42 ft and length just under 29 ft. The unique Skyrocket served for research purposes until being dismantled after an accident in late 1944. The reissue kit by Academy includes parts for the early truncated-nose & short engine nacelles and the late long-nose & extended engine nacelles, originally released by Minicraft as two separate kits.
