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 famous M3 Stuart light tank was built in America and shipped to Britain during World War II. The British version was re-equipped. It boasts a fully detailed interior and exterior with movable gun elevation and various accessories. It features an accurately reproduced British, U.S., and Japanese captured version. And it gives the user the option to choose between flexible or individual tracks. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

History The Jagdpanzer 38(t), commonly known as the Hetzer, was a German tank destroyer used during the latter part of World War II. Built on the chassis of the reliable Czechoslovak Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), the Hetzer featured a new low-profile, sloped-armored superstructure designed for ambush tactics and defensive operations. Armed with a 75mm Pak 39 L/48 gun, it combined effective firepower with compact size and affordability, making it suitable for mass production. Its small silhouette made it hard to detect and hit, a critical advantage in late-war battlefield conditions. The Hetzer was produced primarily by the Škoda factory in occupied Czechoslovakia, with over 2,800 units built between 1944 and 1945. It saw action on both the Eastern and Western Fronts and was praised for its mobility, concealment, and reliability. After the war, Czechoslovakia continued to produce and operate the Hetzer under the designation ST-I, using it well into the postwar years. Its service during the Prague Uprising of 1945 makes this variant historically significant and a favorite subject for modelers and military history enthusiasts alike.

The Jagdpanzer 38 (t) Hetzer was a German WWII tank destroyer. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created at the turn of 1943 and 1944, and serial production continued in the period 1944-1945, ending with the production of approximately 2,800 vehicles. The Hetzer was powered by a single Prague EPA AC2800 160hp engine. It was armed with 1 75mm PaK 39 L / 48 gun and 1 7.92mm MG34 or MG 42 machine gun. This model kit from Academy brings us the Jagdpanzer 38(t) assault gun used by the German Army during World War II. This version has the early engine deck, muffler, road wheels and mantel; photo-etched parts are provided for the muffler and engine mesh. Two figures are included.

LT vz. 35 or Panzerkampfwagen 35 (t) was originally a Czechoslovakian and later a German light tank from World War II. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in 1935, and serial production continued in the period 1936-1939, ending with the production of about 430 vehicles. The tank was powered by a single 120hp Skoda T-11 engine. It was armed with 1 KwK 34 (t) L / 40 37mm gun and 2 MG35 (t) or MG 37 (t) 7.92mm machine guns. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes 105mm main gun, turret, basket, and two kinds of side skirt from new tooling Reproduction of ERA armour on upper turret and front body Optional assembly of two commander's hatches Highly detailed photo-etched parts Detailed flexible tracks included Decals

The Magach 6 was an Israeli tank from the post-war and modern times. The first vehicles of this type appeared in service in the mid-1970s. The armament consisted of a single 105mm cannon, two 7.62mm and 12.7mm Browning machine guns and a 60mm light mortar. 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. As for those times, they were modern cars, but the experience of the Israeli army from the Yom-Kippur war (1973) showed that these vehicles had disadvantages. To remedy them, it was decided to introduce numerous modifications to them, which led to the creation of, among others, the Magach 6 tanks. The Magach 6 tanks are based on the M60, M60A1 and M60A3 vehicles. They all have the so-called Urdan commander's turret and "Blazer" reactive armor. In addition to the basic version, there were other versions, including: Magach 6 B (with engine AVDS-1790-2C RISE), Magach 6 B Gal (version with the fire control system Gal) or Magach 6 B Gal Batach (version with SKO Gal, new armor and a different shape of the tower). Cars of this type took part mainly in the operation in Lebanon in 1982. The Academy kit represents the Magach 6B Gal Batash, deployed in the 1980’s. Some notable features of this vehicle include modified sloped turret sides and mantlet. While the tracks were sourced from the newly introduced and indigenously designed Merkava tank that had just gone into service with the Israeli Defense Force. With a continued series of upgrades throughout the 1980’s and 90’s the type was gradually replaced in front line service by the Merkava with the last ones being retired from regular units in 2006. Features Highly detailed plastic pieces molded in tan Reproduction of ERA armour on upper turret and front body Turret, basket, urdan cupola and side skirt from new tooling Hatches can be positioned open or closed Waterslide decals Illustrated instructions Parts come molded in khaki.

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. This is a high quality kit from Academy of the Tiger-I (Ver. MID) in 1/35 scale. Features new tooling of asymmetry turret, mantel, 88mm canon, engine deck and accessory. Includes photo-etched engine grill and Zimmerit tool. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank from the Second World War and the post-war period. 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. The main armament in the T-34/85 version was the 85mm ZIS-S-53 gun. From Academy, this is a fantastic kit of the T-34/85 "No. 112th Factory Production" tank in 1/35 scale. It's a reproduction of the Russian T-34/85 tank used during WWII and the Korean War. The model features an accurately reproduced turret manufactuered from no.112 factory. Parts come molded in green. Includes semi-connected tracks, photo-etched parts and decals. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M4 Sherman was an American medium tank from the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1941, and serial production was carried out in the period 1942-1945. In total, about 49,000 copies of this tank of all versions were created, which makes it one of the most produced tanks of the Second World War and the most important tank in the equipment of the Allied armies during this conflict. The M4 Sherman was powered by a single engine version of the M4A1 Continental R 975 C4 with a power of 400 hp . The vehicle was armed with - depending on the version - a single 75mm M3 cannon or a 76mm M1 cannon or a 105mm M4 howitzer and two 7.62mm Browning1919A machine guns. The M4 Sherman was developed as the successor to the M2 and M3 tanks, although it used many of the latter's components. First of all, it only used a slightly changed chassis of the M3 Lee car. When designing the M4 Sherman, the emphasis was primarily on playing the role of an infantry support vehicle, and not fighting enemy tanks - this was the role of American tank destroyers. Only possible clashes with the carts were assumed Pz.Kpfw III and Pz.Kpfw IV. A significant role was also played in the mass production of the new tank and the lowest possible production costs. The result was a tank with good armament for 1942 and early 1943, average armor, but with a tilted front plate, but also with poor maneuverability and - especially in the first versions - very susceptible to fire as a result of hitting the engine compartment . At the same time, however, a tank was created that could be truly large-scale production and had a significant modernization potential. Many development versions were created in the course of serial production M4 Sherman. Chronologically the first was the M4A1 version that already had a cast armor. Another - M4A2 - had welded armor and a new General Motors 6460 engine with 375-410hp, but much less prone to fire. A version of the M4A3 also appeared, armed with a 105 mm howitzer and powered by a Ford GAA engine with a capacity of 450 HP. Based on the M4A3 version, two sub-versions were created: the M4A3E2 Jumbo with reinforced armor and the M4A3E8 with the HVSS and 76mm gun. An interesting development version was also the T34 Calliope with mounted missiles not guided on the turret. The M4 Sherman was also supplied in huge numbers to the British and Red Army. The former developed a version of the Firefly based on it, with a great 17-pounder anti-tank gun. During World War II, M4 Sherman tanks fought in North Africa (1942-1943), Italy (1943-1945), during the battles in Normandy, France and West Germany (1944-1945), but also in the Pacific or in the ranks The Red Army on the Eastern Front. After World War II, the M4 Sherman was used in many countries, including Argentina, Belgium, India, Israel, Japan, Pakistan and Turkey. He also took part in many post-1945 conflicts, including the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and the Six-Day War of 1967. This is a resin-cast field gun 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. The main armament in the T-34/85 version was the 85mm ZIS-S-53 gun. The T-34 is undoubtedly one of the most famous tanks in the history of both World War II and military in general, representing a specific symbol of Soviet victory in the war with the Third Reich. The vehicle was developed for the needs of the Red Army as a successor to the so-called pursuit tanks from the BT series (BT-5 and BT-7), but also the T-26 tank. Work on the car started in 1937 in a special design office at the Steam Engine Factory in Kharkiv. Initially, the works were managed by Eng. Adolf Dik (he also made the first sketches of the new car), and after his arrest by the Soviet security authorities, Mikhail Koszkin managed the work. Initially, the vehicle was designated as A-20. However, a second prototype (A-32) was quickly built, with a main armament in the form of a 76.2 mm cannon and much thicker frontal armor. It was the latter prototype that was finally adopted for production. It can be assumed that when it was introduced into service, the TT-34 was a very successful tank in many respects. It was characterized - as in 1940 - with a very strong weapon, it had a well-profiled armor based on sloped armor plates, as well as very high mobility and off-road driving properties. The disadvantages include the very poor ergonomics of the car or the poor optics used in the first production batches. Despite these shortcomings, when the T-34 appeared on the Eastern Front, German troops were greatly surprised by it. The high overall rating of the T-34 and its combat values determined its mass production and making it the basic tank of the Red Army during the fights in 1942-1945. They also resulted in further improvements to the structure, e.g. in 1942 a new hexagonal tower appeared, improving the quality of work of crew members with the commander's cupola. The engine and gearbox were also improved. However, in 1944, the T-34/85 model was introduced into service, with a completely new three-man turret and the main armament in the form of an 85 mm cannon. The T-34 tank fought in virtually all major battles fought between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front in 1941-1945: starting at the Battle of Moscow, through the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, Operation Bagration, and the capture of Berlin. After 1945, the T-34 tank was still in service, it was also widely exported outside the USSR to countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, East Germany, Hungary and Syria. The T-34/85 played an active part in the later part of World War II. This precision-molded model kit represents a locally modified version of this tank, with a welded net, used during the Battle of Berlin. Decals and photo-etched parts are included. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Features Includes: Decals, photo-etched parts Size: Approximately 23cm long, 7.8cm high when completed

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. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

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.
