The M60 Patton was an American 2nd generation Main Battle Tank. The first prototypes of the car were created in the late 1950s, and serial production continued in 1960-1987, ending with the production of over 15,000 copies of this tank. The M60 Patton was powered by an engine Continental AVDA-1790-2 with 750 hp. Armament in the basic version was a 105mm M68 tank gun, 1 12.7mm M85 machine gun and 1 7.62mm M73 machine gun. Design work on The M60 Patton began as the American intelligence learned that the Soviet Army was going to introduce a new T-62 tank armed with a 115mm gun into the line. In an attempt to respond to this new threat, it was decided to deeply rebuild the M48 tank, creating a de facto new vehicle. First of all, new weapons were used, i.e. the 105mm gun, the armor was significantly strengthened and a new engine with more power was used. The new design was at least comparable to the T-54, T-55 or T-62 tanks, but was inferior to the T-64 and T-72 series vehicles, especially in terms of firepower. Three versions of the M60 were produced in the course of serial production. The first is the M60A1, which entered the line in 1969, had a new turret and even thicker armor. The M60A2 version with a 152mm cannon-launcher capable of firing guided missiles turned out to be a dead end. Finally, the last serial version is the M60A3, which had, above all, a modern fire control system (SKO) with a laser rangefinder and a passive night vision sight. M60 tanks of all versions have been exported to many countries, including: Brazil, Greece, Spain, Israel and Portugal. They also took part in many armed conflicts of the Cold War period, mainly in the Yom-Kippur war of 1973, the Iraqi-Iranian war of 1980-1988 and the war in the Persian Gulf of 1990-1991. Academy brings us their 1/35 M60A2 Patton scale model kit! This kit features an accurately reproduced turret, cupola, engine grilles, and road wheels. It's an M60 variant with M162 152mm gun launcher. This kit can be assembled with the hatch closed or open. Semi-connected tracks are included, as well as photo-etched parts. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The Magach 7 is a modern Israeli Main Battle Tank (MBT). The first vehicles of this type appeared in 1988. The drive is provided by a single diesel engine Continental AVDS 1790-5A with 908 HP. The armament consisted of a single 105mm cannon and four 7.62mm and 12.7mm Browning machine guns. In the 1960s, the Israeli army began to equip its armored forces with new M48 tanks, imported mainly from the USA, and from 1970 - the M60 Patton. For those times, they were modern cars, but the experience of the Israeli army during the Yom-Kippur war (1973) showed some of their disadvantages. To remedy this, they were modernized - the Magach 6 cars, which performed well during the intervention in Lebanon in 1982. In order to further increase the potential of the M60 vehicles, it was decided in Israel to modernize them again and create the Magach 7 vehicles. Compared to its prototype, the M60A3 tank, the Magach 7 has many changes. First of all, it has a new power unit, a completely new fire control system (similar to the Merkava III tank), new tracks and transmission, and a new reactive armor applied to the turret, hull and side shields. In the course of use, three development versions appeared: Magach 7 A (Alef), Magach 7 B (Bet) ora with Magach 7 C (Gimmel). Vehicles of this type have been systematically replaced in line with Merkava tanks, but are still in the reserve of the Israeli armed forces. Academy brings us their 1/35 Magach 7C Gimel scale model kit! This kit features a new turret, large external storage basket, passive armor array, armored side skirts and a 7.62mm FN-MAG machine gun. As a modernized Isreali army tank, it's a variant of the M60. It allows assembly to be completed with the hatch open or closed. A tank crew figure is also included. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M1 Abrams is a modern 3rd generation American Main Battle Tank. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in the 1970s, and serial production started in 1979 continues to this day. To date (2018), about 10500 tanks of this type have been produced. The M1 Abrams is powered by a turbo-shaft (turbine) engine Avco Lycoming AGT-1500C 1500 hp. The vehicle is armed with a 105mm M68A1 tank gun in the M1 version, and a 120mm M256 tank gun in the M1A1 and later versions. The additional armament is 1 12.7 mm machine gun and 2 7.62 mm M240 machine guns. The M1 Abrams was created in response to the demand for a new Main Battle Tank announced by US Army already in the 60s of the twentieth century. The new vehicle was to replace the Patton family tanks (M47-M48-M60) in the US Army. Initially, cooperation with German companies was initiated in the project designated as MBT-70. However, after a few years, the cooperation was terminated and further work was focused only on American companies, especially in the Chrysler Defense concern. Despite a very long process of analytical, study and experimental work lasting almost 15 years, it was introduced to the line in the early 1980s M1 Abrams It turned out to be an almost revolutionary structure and far superior to the then Soviet ones. M1 Abrams It is primarily characterized by unprecedented - before 1979 - in tanks of this class, mobility and maneuverability, thanks to the use of a powerful 1500 HP engine. Another thing is that the choice of the turbine engine turned out to be not very successful because it requires very careful maintenance and is prone to catching fire. M1 Abrams it also has very good armor, using composites and SKO (fire control system). In the M1A1 version, it was also armed with a great 120mm gun. Several versions of the tank were created in the course of serial production M1 Abrams. The first significant improvements were made to the M1A1 version, the production of which was launched in 1985 - mainly by using a much more effective 120 caliber cannon instead of the 105mm gun. In 1992, the M1A2 version entered the line, with much richer electronic equipment than previous versions and armor using depleted uranium. Then came the M1A2 SEP version with even more perfect armor. The last development versions of the Abrams tank are the M1A2 SEPv2 and M1A2 SEPv3 versions, which have advanced information exchange, battlefield control, fire control systems and improved secondary weapon control systems. The M1 Abrams tank was exported to several countries, including: Saudi Arabia, Australia, Egypt and Kuwait. Vehicles of this type took part in several operations, the most important of which were the Gulf War in 1990-1991 and the Iraq War in 2003. The kit contains parts to build any one of three versions, M1A2 SEP V2 with options for CROWS II, TUSK I and TUSK II and three marking options. You'll find realistic armored gun shield parts for all three versions. M2 and M249 machine guns are precisely recreated, spotlight for gun included. Other kit features include flexible track and Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS), tile-like reactive armor as well as photo-etched and clear parts.

The K9 Thunder is a modern South Korean tracked self-propelled gun. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in 1996, and in 1999 serial production began, which continues to this day. The vehicle is powered by the MTU MT 881 Ka-500 engine 1000 hp . It is armed with a 155mm L52 cannon and a single 12.7mm K6 HMG machine gun. The first works on the K9 Thunder artillery system began in 1989 at Samsung Techwin (now: Hanwha Techwin). The first K9s entered the South Korean army line in 1999. Vehicles of this type are characterized by high off-road mobility, have hydropneumatic suspension and a very good power-weight ratio of the vehicle. They are protected by armor made of steel sheets, which protects them against small-caliber firearms with a caliber of up to 14.5 mm and against artillery fragments. The K9 vehicle also has increased survivability in the event of a detonation of an anti-personnel or anti-tank mine. The maximum range of the K9 Thunder's main armament reaches 30,000 meters when firing an ordinary high-explosive shell and exceeds 50,000 meters when firing the K315 shell. The K9 is also able to fire in the MRSI mode, i.e. it fires a volley of 3 missiles at intervals of 5 seconds at different angles of the barrel lift, in such a way that all 3 missiles hit the target simultaneously. The K9 vehicles were sold to Turkey, where - after modernization - they serve as the T-155 Firtina. The chassis of the K9 Thunder has also become the basis for the Polish Krab howitzer and is licensed at Huta Stalowa Wola. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The Pz.Kpfw VI (Sd.Kfz.181) Tiger is a German heavy tank from World War II, one of the most famous combat vehicles of that time. The German Panzerwaffe command had been carrying around the idea of a heavy tank since the beginning of the war, but the first attempts in the form of the Neubaufahrzeuge multi-tank were unsuccessful. In 1939 and 1940 they were conducted ineffectively, but after the clash with the T-34 and KW-1 on the eastern front, work on the new heavy tank sped up. On April 20, 1942, the prototype of the new tank, under the designation VK 4501 (H), underwent field trials in the presence of Adolf Hitler and was put into mass production shortly after. The first production versions were designated Pz.Kpfw VI Ausf.H1 (later Ausf.E). In the course of production, in the years 1942-1945, the tank was systematically modified by, for example, adding Feifell dust filters, different placement of headlights, modernization of optical equipment, changes to the commander's turret, etc. The drive was provided by a Maybach HL230 P45 12-cylinder carburetor engine with a capacity of 700 HP. The Pz.Kpfw VI tank, although it did not have such a contoured front hull as the T-34 or Pantera, was a heavily armored vehicle (frontal armor up to 120mm), armed with a very effective KwK 36 L / 56 88mm gun, which earned the reputation of being the most effective tank of the Second World War. It was a vehicle much better than the Allied M4 or Churchill and the Soviet T-34/76. He could also easily fight the IS-2 or M-26, surpassing them with the effectiveness of the main armament. On the other hand, the Pz.Kpfw VI had some disadvantages - first of all, it was extremely time-consuming to produce and had a very complicated suspension. In the later period of the war, the quality of the Tiger's armor also deteriorated, which resulted from the lack of access to the molybdenum deposits by the German economy. Despite these drawbacks, the Tiger on the battlefields proved to be a very effective weapon. He successfully fought in Tunisia, the Kursk Arch, Normandy and on the Eastern Front. Technical data: length (with a barrel): 8.45m, width: 3.7m, height: 2.93m, engine power: 700KM, weight: 56.9 t, range (on the road): 100km, maximum speed (on the road) ): 38 km / h, armament: 1 88 mm KwK 36 L / 56 gun, 3 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns. From Academy, this is an amazingly detailed kit of the Tiger-I (Ver. Late) tank in 1/35 scale. It features new tooling of the asymmetric turret, 88mm cannon, mantlet, engine deck and accessory. Parts come molded in brown. Includes decals and photo-etched parts.  This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The third release in Academy's excellent 1/72 vehicle line, this Opel Blitz fueler will be welcomed by small-scale aircraft enthusiasts. The truck builds up almost exactly like the real thing, with complete frame, drive train and suspension onto which are added the cab and tank. While the doors covering the fuel pump on the aft end of the tank body can be opened to show the pump mechanism, the detailed engine assembly under the hood will be all but invisible after assembly. However, these trucks were often seen with the removable hood side panels off for cooling, and with a couple of quick swipes of the hobby knife you can cut off those panels yourself to expose the under hood detail. And let's not forget the second vehicle in this set, a beautifully done Schimmwagen. Again, we are treated to a complete interior and suspension, as well as an engine face (that will never be seen without surgery to open the engine cover) and optional screw parts for "dropped and engaged" for water use or "lifted and stowed" for overland use. Finally, a bomb lifting cart is included (but no bomb) which can be posed up or down for diorama use, as well as 4 each of two styles of "Jerry Cans".  This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The Dodge WC-54 is an American military all-terrain truck from the Second World War. The first prototype examples of the family of these vehicles appeared in 1940, and the serial production of the WC-54 model was carried out in 1942-1944. About 26,000 Dodge WC-54 cars were produced in its course. The drive was provided by a single engine Dodge T-214 with 92 hp. The car was 4.95 meters long and 1.98 meters wide. The maximum load capacity was approx. 820 kg. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

Ford GPA Seep (Jeep GPA) is an amphibious version of the ubiquitous Jeep, also produced by the Ford concern. It was powered by a 4-cylinder 60HP engine. Vehicles of this type were too heavy and difficult to control during maneuvers on the water, and as a result, they were not popular. These vehicles were introduced to the equipment of US troops because of the rivers crossing areas of Italy and northwest Europe. Production began in 1941 and by 1943 about 12,800 vehicles had been built. The Ford GPA was used in combat during the landing in Sicily, during the Italian campaign (1943-1945), during the Normandy landing and during Operation Market-Garden in September 1944. He also served during the fighting in the Benelux countries and in the crossing of the Rhine in 1945. It was also delivered to the USSR, where it served under the designation GAZ46 MAV. Specifications: length: 462 cm, width: 163 cm, height: 175 cm, weight: 1.1 t, engine power: 60 HP. The M2-M3-M5 Half-Track is a family of American half-track armored personnel carriers from the Second World War. The first prototypes of this family's vehicles were made in 1938, and serial production continued in the years 1941-1944, ending with the production of tens of thousands of vehicles of this type! The M2-M3-M5 Half-Track family of vehicles was either powered by the engine White 160AX with 147 HP or IHC RED-450-B engine with 142 HP. The armament of the vehicles was very different and dependent on the version, but most often consisted of two machine guns: Browning M2HB cal. 12.7 mm and Browning M1919 cal. 7.62 mm. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M26 Dragon Wagon is an American military armored heavy truck from the Second World War. The first cars of this type entered service in 1941/1942 and remained in service until the 1950s. The vehicle was powered by a single engine Hall-Scott 440 with a power of 240 hp. The maximum speed was up to 45 km / h. The armament of the car consisted of a single 12.7 mm machine gun. The M26 Dragon Wagon was developed for the needs of the US Army, which, along with the development of its own armored component, realized that it needed new trucks to transport damaged tanks or to transport them faster by road. Moreover, the new tractor unit was also to have a slightly armored driver's cab. The new car was to complement the M19 line, which entered service in 1940. The M26, compared to the M19, had a clearly more powerful engine, an armored driver's cabin, and was also able to carry much heavier loads. The M26 Dragon Wagon vehicles were used primarily in North-Western Europe in 1944-1945. They were replaced in line by the M123 cars, starting in 1955. During WWII, when the allies needed to haul something big and heavy, like tanks and other armored vehicles, they used the mighty Dragon Wagon to do the job. Rated to haul vehicles up to 40 tons, the M26 could carry almost any vehicle on its trailer. Academy's kit of the M26 Dragon Wagon with M25 tractor and M15 trailer is packed with fine detail and features superb molding throughout. The cab interior and complex suspension systems are fully detailed, and the cab's doors and armored visors can be positioned opened or closed. Includes accessories and decals for three versions. Curiously, all three versions (all US Army vehicles) are identified as operating in 1994...a bit of a typo, perhaps? Or did these stalwart beasts of burden actually soldier on in US Army service for more than 50 years? This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the 1940s to the present, the versatile M35 2.5 ton cargo truck has been a vital logistical tool for US forces around the world. The "Deuce and a Half" can carry 5,000 pounds cross-country or 10,000 pounds over roads, and was considered a medium-duty vehicle by the military. Academy's sharp little M35 is molded in tan plastic and features a magnificently detailed chassis and suspension. No engine detail is included, but the cab is nicely furnished for the scale, and the exterior features very fine detailing. All 10 tires (whoops, make that 11 tires...I forgot the spare!) are injection-molded, and decals are included for one vehicle that served in Vietnam circa 1968 and one that served in Baghdad circa 2003. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M1126 Stryker is an eight-wheeled, all-wheel-drive infantry combat vehicle (ICV) weighing between 16 and 19 tons and capable of speeds up to 100kph. It's the first new ICV to enter US Military service since the M2 Bradley back in the '80s. The Academy 1/72 M1126 Stryker Ground Vehicle is a significant addition for enthusiasts of modern military models. This kit offers a detailed representation of the real-world Stryker, an eight-wheeled armored vehicle used by the U.S. Army. Known for its versatility and rapid deployment capabilities, the Stryker has played a crucial role in various military operations since its introduction. Features Academy's Stryker kit features sharp molding and accurate details. Decals are included for two vehicles: one in service in Germany, the other in South Korea. This scale model captures the intricate details of the M1126 Stryker, making it an engaging project for hobbyists interested in modern armor.  The 1/72 scale provides a manageable size for display while still allowing for impressive detail that showcases the vehicle's unique design elements. Builders will appreciate the attention to detail in the assembly process, which requires precision and patience. History The Stryker family of vehicles has been pivotal in transforming military tactics with its mobility and protection features. This model serves as a miniature homage to the engineering prowess behind the Stryker, offering collectors and builders a chance to engage with a piece of contemporary military history.

The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) is an eight-wheel drive, diesel-powered, 10-short-ton (9,100 kg) tactical truck. The M977 HEMTT first entered service in 1982 with the United States Army as a replacement for the M520 Goer, and since that date has remained in production for the U.S. Army and other nations. By Q2 2021, around 35,800 HEMTTs in various configurations had been produced by Oshkosh Defense through new-build contracts and around 14,000 of these had been re-manufactured. Current variants have the A4 suffix. The 10×10 Logistic Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) is the United States Marines Corps' (USMC) equivalent to the U.S. Army's 8×8 HEMTT and 10×10 Palletized Load System (PLS). The USMC does not use the HEMTT or PLS, and the Army does not use the LVSR, but both services use a common trailer (M1076) with all three truck types.

The M1151 HMMWV has a heavier chassis and an improved engine to handle add-on armour. It is built on an Expanded Capacity Vehicle chassis, which allows for more passengers or additional supplies (up to 2,300 lbs). It's two- or four-seat variant is the M1152 Enhanced Troop/Cargo/Shelter Carrier, designed to replace the M1097A2 Heavy HMMWV and M1113 Expanded Capacity Vehicle. Academy's detailed kit of the M1151 Enhanced Armament Carrier features "new-style" injection molded tires (molded in black, and in halves), positionable doors, and two crew figures. Also includes photo-etched metal detail parts.  This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

Jeep Willys (other names: Willys MB, Jeep) is an American off-road car from the Second World War and the post-war period. The first prototypes of the car were built in 1940, and serial production was carried out in 1940-1945. Nearly 650,000 copies of it were created in its course! The weight of the cart was about 1.1 tons, with a length of 3.36 meters and a width of 1.57 meters. The drive was provided by a single engine with a power of 60 HP. The maximum speed was up to 105 km/h. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The first prototypes were built in 1937-1940, and serial production in the USSR was carried out in 1940-1957. About 84,000 vehicles of this type were built in its course, which makes the T-34 one of the most produced tanks in history! The drive was provided by a single engine V-2-34 with a power of 500 hp. The length of the car - in the T34 / 76 version - was 6.68 m, with a width of 3 meters. The armament consisted of a 76.2 mm F-34 gun and two 7.62 mm DT machineguns.

PzKpfw VI Ausf. B Tiger II or colloquially Konigstiger (Polish royal tiger) was a German heavy tank from World War II. The first prototypes of the vehicle were built in 1943, and serial production continued in 1944-1945, ending with the production of 487 vehicles. The Tiger II was powered by a single Maybach HL 230 P30 engine producing 700hp. It was armed with 1 88mm PaK 43 L / 71 gun and 2 7.92mm MG34 machine guns. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M60 Patton was an American 2nd generation Main Battle Tank. The first prototypes of the car were created in the late 1950s, and serial production continued in 1960-1987, ending with the production of over 15,000 copies of this tank. The M60 Patton was powered by an engine Continental AVDA-1790-2 with 750 hp. Armament in the basic version was a 105mm M68 tank gun, 1 12.7mm M85 machine gun and 1 7.62mm M73 machine gun. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

British main battle tank (MBT) in service from 1983 to 2001. Armed with a 120mm L11A5 rifled gun (retro-fitted with L30A1), 7.62mm L8A2 & 7.62mm L37A2 machine guns mounted on the turret roof. Equipment included virtually impregnable Chobham composite armour for protection against threats including kinetic energy penetrators and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds. Other defensive measures included laser warning system and smoke grenade launchers. Challenger 1 performed very reliably in the Gulf War in 1991 and without loss. Mk 3 has passive armour plates and extra stowage bins for 120mm rounds. The Challenger 1 was a British Main Battle Tank from the Cold War period. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in the mid-1970s, and serial production was carried out in 1982-1990. Over 400 vehicles of this type were created in its course. The car was powered by a single 1,200hp Rolls-Royce CV-12 diesel engine. Its armament consisted of a single 120mm L11A5 rifled cannon and two 7.62mm machine guns. The Challenger 1 was developed as the British Army's new main battle tank to replace the Chieftain line. Its design, however, was based on many elements of the Shir-2, which was to be produced for Iran, but which was based on the Chieftain tank. The new tank, which received the designation Challenger 1 by the British Army, compared to its predecessor, had much better Chobham armor, which protected it very well against e.g. HEAT shells. It also received a new engine with more power, as well as other electronic equipment. However, the car was not free from problems - above all, compared to such tanks as Leopard 2 or M1 Abrams, it had very poor performance and maneuverability. Its main armament was also inferior to 120mm smoothbore guns. Bearing in mind all these shortcomings, the vehicle manufacturer - Vickers Defense Systems - decided to improve it and create the Challenger 2 tank. It is worth adding, however, that despite the shortcomings, the Challenger 1 tanks performed very well during the First Gulf War (1990-1991). Vehicles of this type remained in the line of the British Army until 2001. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes 3 choice of markings: Riyal Scots Dragoon Guards, Kuwait 1991 Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, Tank Museum, Bovington Queen's Royal Dragoon Guards, Bosnia 1996

The first main battle tank independently designed by France. Reboxed Ace Corporation kit. 4 sprues. 120mm CN120-26/52 main gun & 7.62mm AAT-52 NF1 machine gun. The first prototypes of the French Leclerc 3rd generation main battle tank were made in 1986. Serial production started in 1992, and continues with interruptions (2017) and has resulted in the production of approx. 850 vehicles. The Leclerc tank is powered SAEM UDU V8X 1500 T9 Hyperbar engine with 1500 HP . Its primary armament is the 120mm GIAT CN120-26 / 52 gun, and its auxiliary armament is two 12.7mm and 7.62mm machineguns. The Leclerc was created in connection with the French army's need for a new main battle tank, intended to replace the AMX-30 or AMX-30B2 tanks with more and more combat capabilities than other Western designs. When designing the new tank on a large scale, modern electronics were used in it, which can be seen especially in the very effective FCS (fire control system), which ensures 95% effectiveness of the first shot! Also, the gun used is in no way inferior to the German or American solutions in the Leopard 2 or M1A1 Abrams tanks. Leclerc is also highly maneuverable and mobile. However, it can be assumed that its armor is of a slightly lower quality than that of other 3rd generation western cars. Another disadvantage is the relatively high price, which in 2001 was estimated at 6.5 million. euro for one tank. The first Leclerc cars reached full combat readiness in the French army in 1995. The only foreign recipient of this vehicle was the UAE, which purchased as many as 436 units - for comparison, the French army purchased 406 units of this tank. Leclerc was used in peacekeeping missions in Kosovo (1999) and in Lebanon (2006), and in combat - in the civil war in Yemen since 2015. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes 5 choice of markings: (1, 2, 3) Task Force Leclerc, KFOR, Kosovo, 1999 (4, 5) Leclerc T5, France.
