Armour Vehicle Kits (139)

The M4 Sherman medium tank was, without a doubt, the most widely produced and deployed armored vehicle of World War II. The M4 formed the backbone of American armored forces and was manufactured in numerous versions and variants. The Sherman "Wet" was developed during the tank's operational service to reduce the risk of fire, which was a common issue in early production models. Introduced in 1944, it featured redesigned and repositioned fuel tanks to minimize the likelihood of explosions and fires. The adoption of fuel tanks immersed in a propylene glycol solution, hence the name "Wet", proved to be an effective solution. Crews appreciated the increased reliability and survivability in combat. The Sherman "Wet" was extensively used on the European front during the final stages of World War II.

The Jaguar 1 is a tank destroyer used by the German Bundeswehr from 1978 to 2005 and by the Austrian Armed Forces, which deployed them in Panzerabwehrbataillon 1, from 1996 to 2006.Its design is based on the Bundeswehr's Kanonenjagdpanzer, sharing the same lower hull and running gear. Initially, prototypes for a new missile tank destroyer were developed from 1963, resulting in the Raketenjagdpanzer 2, equipped with SS.11 missiles. From 1978 to 1983, 316 of these vehicles were upgraded to the Jaguar 1 with HOT missile systems and additional armor. The Jaguar 1 served in the Bundeswehr's tank destroyer units until their disbandment in 1996, after which remaining units were reassigned to mechanized infantry and tank battalions. By the end of 2005 (Austria 2006), all Jaguar 1s were retired. The Jaguar 1's HOT missile could be operated under armor and NBC protection, with an automatic loader and a drum magazine holding eight missiles, plus up to 12 additional missiles stored inside. It became fully night-capable with the A3 upgrade, adding new optics and thermal imaging from 1993 to 1995.

The Sd.Kfz. 234 was a family of armored vehicles developed and built in Germany during World War II. The first and most famous version, the Sd.Kfz. 234/2, was equipped with a turret featuring a 5-cm KwK 39/1 tank gun and a coaxial MG 42.This armament was originally intended for the VK 1602 Leopard, a planned tank in the Panzer II class. The switch to this armament was documented on July 1, 1942, and on November 2, 1943, the production of 100 vehicles with this equipment was announced. A total of 101 vehicles were manufactured between December 1943 and June 1944. The designation Sd.Kfz. 234/2 was used from March 1944. This version of the Sd.Kfz. 234, with its relatively strong armament for a reconnaissance vehicle, often tempted crews to engage in combat instead of just performing reconnaissance tasks.

The ZSU-23-4M/M3 is a modernized version of the Soviet ZSU-23-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft system, also known as the "Shilka." This modernization introduced a number of improvements that increased the system's combat effectiveness. Features Armament : The ZSU-23-4M/M3 is equipped with four synchronized 23 mm anti-aircraft guns, which provide significant firepower against air targets at low and medium altitudes. Radar and fire control systems : The M/M3 versions are equipped with an improved radar and more modern fire control systems, allowing for more effective tracking and destruction of air targets, especially in difficult weather conditions and at night. Mobility : As a tracked vehicle, the ZSU-23-4M/M3 retains good off-road mobility, allowing it to move quickly alongside armored and mechanized units. Versatility : In addition to its anti-aircraft role, the ZSU-23-4M/M3 can be used to provide fire support to ground units against ground targets, thanks to its high rate of fire and the effectiveness of its armament at short ranges. Extended service life : Modernization to the M/M3 version significantly extended the service life of these vehicles, allowing them to serve in various armies around the world even after the fall of the USSR.

During WWII, U.S. forces developed the M10 tank destroyer with 76.2mm gun, but it was not effective against powerful German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. Perched upon the M10A1 chassis equipped with a 450hp gasoline engine, the M36 employed a new open top turret and a 90mm gun. The M36 saw its first action on the Franco-German border in October 1944 and continued until the German surrender in May 1945. Over 1,000 M36s were deployed among 21 battalions and contributed to the Allied forces’ advance. This model assembly kit recreates the U.S. Tank Destroyer M36. The subject was first released in 1968 as a motorized single motor kit. It’s now been recreated from the ground up with new tooling, except for the M2 machine gun and clear parts used in other Tamiya WW2 kits that use these newer parts. Features 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 216mm, width: 88mm. The form with open top turret is faithfully captured based on extensive research of the actual tank. Features new parts except for M2 heavy machine gun and transparent parts. The turret interior has details such as 90mm gun breech and auxiliary machinery. The jutting turret rear counterweight is realistically depicted with its curved form and cast surface patterns, and features ease of assembly thanks to the use of slide molding. The full interior has realistic depictions such as shell racks, floor and bulkheads. Includes parts to recreate exhaust deflector, tow hooks and tow cables. Ammunition cases and one full body tanker figure included. Assembly type tracks have one-piece straight sections. Comes with two marking options to recreate a 3rd Army vehicle in Luxembourg or a 774th Tank Destroyer Battalion vehicle in Germany.

Limited edition 1/35 scale model kit of the Panzer IV Ausf.D tropical version.Production of the Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D began in October 1939 and a total of 232 vehicles were completed until October 1940, with around 30 converted for use in tropical conditions by installing improved ventilation system and sand filters.A few of these were also fitted with add-on armor on the front and sides of the superstructure.The 4th and 8th companies of Panzer Regiment 5 belonging to the Deutsches Afrika Korps (DAK) used this variant in combat in North Africa though it was soon superseded by more effective longer-gunned variants.The exclusive decal sheet printed by Cartograf contains markings for 8 different vehicles that served in North Africa in 1941, including one captured by British troops.Features Realistic suspension with multiple components which actually works like in the real vehicle.

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
