Originally a Russian T-55 tank, the Tiran 5 was a modified version of the T-55 taken by the Israeli Defence Force and upgraded extensively during the 60s up to the 80s. It was armed with a 105mm gun as well as M2 machine guns and although it was withdrawn from Israeli service, it continued to see action across several other countries. When fully assembled, this 1/35 scale model measures 252mm long and 96mm wide. Features 1/35 scale model kit Features additional M2 machine guns, mortar mount, and crew machine guns Recreates a realistic storage box, water tanks, and auxiliary equipment Includes 2 figures: commander and loader torso figures Marking options to depict the 1980s variant

The T-72 is a Soviet and Russian Main Battle Tank from the Cold War and modern times. The first prototypes of this vehicle were built in 1967-1972, and the car entered service in 1973. It is estimated that at least 20,000 copies of this car were manufactured, although it is worth adding that these are minimal estimates. The combat weight of the T-72B version reached 44.5 tons. The drive was provided by a single 780 hp W-46 engine. The primary armament was the 125mm 2A46M smoothbore gun, and the secondary armament consisted of a 7.62mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7mm NSW machine gun. The T-72 tank was created as a specific supplement to the T-64 and was to be a less technologically advanced vehicle, although meeting the requirements of the battlefield, and at the same time cheaper in mass production. For this reason, it uses, for example, an engine with a much less avant-garde design or more classic armor (especially in the first production series). The main producer of this tank for the Soviet Army was the Uralwagon Zawod plant in Nizhny Tagil. Unlike the T-64, the T-72 was widely exported and licensed in many countries around the world. It also quickly became the main tank of the armed forces of the Warsaw Pact countries. It is worth mentioning here that it entered the equipment of the Polish People's Army in 1978 and remains there to this day. Features Scale model kit is 28.9cm long and 10.9cm wide when completed; clear parts are included for the periscope, and decals and photo-etched parts are included as well. Main tank parts come molded in tan.

Vehicles of the D.A.K The German Afrika Korps (Deutsches Afrikakorps, D.A.K) was formed in the winter of 1941 from Wehrmacht combat units to take part in the North African Campaign. From February 1942, along with the Italian XXI Corps, it became part of Panzer Group “Africa” under the command of Erwin Rommel. The D.A.K was equipped with various types of combat vehicles and maintained a large fleet of motor vehicles. One of the trucks used by the Afrika Korps was the Mercedes-Benz L3000—a 3-ton cargo truck with a 4×2 wheel configuration. For infantry transport, the s.E.Pkw Kfz.70 was employed, a version of the Horch 108 Typ 40 army vehicle. In the cargo bed of this vehicle, a Zwillingssockel 36 twin mount could be installed, carrying two 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns for use against air targets or to provide fire support for infantry. Also in use was the light universal all-terrain vehicle le.gl.Einheits-Pkw, produced by Stoewer, BMW, and Hanomag from 1936. These multipurpose vehicles came in various configurations, one of which was the Kfz.2—a three-seat radio communication vehicle equipped with a Torn.Fu.b1 radio set. Specifications Box size: 410 x 260 x 55 mm Number of details: 241 + 68 + 208 Contents s.E.Pkw Kfz.70 with Zwillingssockel 36, Typ L3000S, le.gl.Einheitz-Pkw Kfz.2

During World War II, the United States swiftly organized mass production of military vehicles across various classes and purposes. American vehicles gained widespread adoption in both US and allied forces due to their simple, refined, and practical design. A notable example was the three-axle Studebaker US6, launched by the Studebaker Corporation in 1941. This robust vehicle offered high payload capacity, with about 200,000 units manufactured across thirteen variants—including the US6-U3 truck and US6-U5 fuel tanker. Chevrolet (then a part of General Motors Company) also produced military two-axle trucks. Their Model 7117 was an all-wheel drive vehicle with a 1.5-ton payload capacity, featuring a metal cabin and a transmission-powered mechanical winch. The US Army primarily deployed these vehicles for auxiliary tasks within the continental United States. Specification Box size: 410 x 260 x 55 mm Number of details: 285+217+253

The Armed Forces of Ukraine widely use various trailers alongside trucks. Many feature van bodies that house personnel, laboratories, repair workshops, field kitchens, electronic systems, or medical stations. These trailers typically include electrical lighting, power supply, and heating systems. The 2-PN-2M trailer with its universal closed KP4 van body serves as a common example. Following established tradition, such trailers are commonly known as KUNG — an acronym for “unified zero (normal) dimension body”.

For many servicemen forced to live between life and death, turning to higher powers becomes essential. When soldiers and officers need moral support, representatives of spiritual service—military chaplains—are always nearby. During World War II, military clergy served in the armies of many warring countries, including the British armed forces. The British Army Chaplains Department, established in 1796, was renamed the Royal Army Chaplains’ Department (RAChD) in February 1919. During World War II, British military chaplains performed their duties selflessly across all theaters of war. To conduct services in field conditions, the clergy used specially equipped mobile field chapels. One such chapel was based on an American-made G7117 truck. The closed cargo area contained a small field altar with necessary service equipment, and could accommodate a harmonium. These specially equipped trucks of various types served in all combat areas.

Among the many factors that determine the course of battles, one is not immediately obvious but is crucial—food supply in combat conditions. A quality hot meal for a soldier is of great importance and sometimes influences the combat effectiveness of units more than modern weapons or equipment. Taking this into account, the Wehrmacht paid significant attention to soldier nutrition during wartime. In combat conditions or during marches, field kitchens on wheels of various types were used: large kitchens for 125 to 225 personnel, and smaller kitchens for 60 to 125 soldiers. These kitchens were either transported on trailers pulled by vehicles or horse-drawn wagons. They were also frequently set up in the beds of different trucks. These kitchens, humorously referred to by soldiers as the ‘Gulaschkanone,’ allowed for the preparation of various dishes. A large kettle, which had an insulating layer (usually made of glycerin), was used for the main dishes, and later versions of the kitchens included a separate kettle for frying. Meals were distributed either directly into soldiers’ mess kits or into large thermoses for delivery to units located some distance away from the kitchen. The main part of the daily ration was usually served at lunch, which could include, for example, a meat soup, a serving of potatoes with a generous portion of meat, and vegetables. It was also common practice to requisition food from the local population to improve the soldiers’ rations beyond the established norms. Specifications Number of details: 266+61 Figures count: 4

A large portion of the Wehrmacht’s truck fleet during World War II consisted of 3-ton cargo vehicles. One such model was the G917T, which had been produced at the Ford plants in Cologne, Germany, since 1939. These trucks were widely used across many units of the German army and on various fronts until the end of the war. Between 1939 and 1941, approximately 25,000 G917T trucks were produced. Some of these vehicles were converted into improvised self-propelled anti-aircraft platforms (similar conversions were also made with other Wehrmacht vehicles, such as the Opel Blitz or the half-track V3000S/SSM). Anti-aircraft guns were mounted in the cargo beds of these trucks, sometimes placed on special platforms or directly on the truck bed. For firing, the side panels of the truck were either folded down or completely removed. Such conversions often used the 2 cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft gun, which entered service with Wehrmacht AA units in the second half of 1940. With a reliable design and a high rate of fire (up to 480 rounds per minute), the 2 cm Flak 38 proved to be an effective weapon for close-range air defense. In addition to engaging aircraft, it was also capable of targeting lightly armored ground threats.

In 1934, Panhard began producing the Panhard 178 armored car, designed for cavalry reconnaissance. These vehicles featured a rear-mounted engine, four-wheel drive, and a 25-mm anti-tank gun as main armament. Production ran until mid-June 1940, with 527 vehicles manufactured. The Panhard 178 saw combat in spring 1940 with French cavalry units and gained an excellent reputation. Military specialists widely regarded them as among the best vehicles in their class. Following France’s defeat in June 1940, about 190 of these armored cars were absorbed into German forces, while French factories produced several dozen more for the Wehrmacht. The Germans redesignated them as Panzerspähwagen P204(f). Some were converted to command vehicles by installing Hochantenne roof antennas that covered most of the hull’s upper surface. These modified versions received the additional designation “Funk” and served both on the Eastern Front and in occupied France.

The payload of one and a half tons made it possible to successfully use the Unimog S as an ambulance (Krankenkraftwagen). Such vehicles were built using standard closed bodies in various versions. The interior of the bodies could be adapted to meet different needs – for example, to carry four stretchers with patients, or to combine stretchers and seats. Wide doors in the rear of the body facilitated the process of loading stretchers inside. The ambulances had large white circles with red crosses to facilitate identification, a detail that was of great importance in the context of possible military operations. As in the case of standard general-purpose vans, different versions of the bodies appeared during operation, with differences in the details of the roof, windows, and so on. Due to their excellent cross-country ability and good performance, these vehicles were in service with the Bundeswehr for many years. According to various estimates, the total number of Unimog S 404 ambulances produced is about 2,000.  Specifications Model size (length x height): 145 x 81 mm Box size: 295 x 225 x 40 mm Number of details: 293 Markings Unimog S 404 Krankenwagen, unknown unit of the Bundeswehr, 1960s Unimog S 404 Krankenwagen, 5th Company, 3rd Medical Battalion, Hamburg, 1970s Unimog S 404 Krankenwagen, 2nd Company, 3th Medical Battalion, Esslingen, early 1980s Unimog S 404 Krankenwagen, 4th Company, 12th Medical Battalion, 12th Panzer Division, 1986

The all-wheel-drive ZIL-131 has a reliable design, excellent off-road capabilities, and high load capacity. Although produced in the 1980s, it remains actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a versatile platform for various tasks. In combat, some trucks are field-modified with heavy small arms or light artillery weapons. One common modification involves mounting a DShKM machine gun in the truck bed on pedestals or mounts, transforming these vehicles into mobile machine gun platforms for fire support or engaging aerial targets. The DShKM is a powerful weapon with broad applications. Its muzzle energy reaches 19.2 kJ, and its high rate of fire combined with reliability makes it one of the best in its class. It’s also effective against lightly armored vehicles—the B-32 armor-piercing incendiary round penetrates 20 mm armor at distances up to 500 meters. The machine gun uses various ammunition types: armor-piercing, incendiary, armor-piercing incendiary, tandem, explosive, and others.

In 1916, British and French troops launched the Somme Offensive against German army astride the River Somme in northern France. This battle, one of the bloodiest in human history, has also been remembered because of a new weapon that shocked the German army, the British Mk.I heavy tank. Tank, one of the greatest inventions in the war history of the twentieth century, marked the beginning of a new era of army mechanization.  Mark series heavy tanks went through several improvements. The only thing unchanged was their unique rhomboid shape which remained in many people’s memory as the main feature of WWI tanks. In 1917, the British found a new transmission and engine, and then they started to improve Mk.IV tanks. Thanks to the epicyclic gearbox, only one driver was needed to drive the new tank. The tank was powered by a 150hp Ricardo 6 cylinder in-line petrol engine and could drive for 10 hours on a rugged terrain. This new tank was finally designated Mk.V. Mk.V tanks were first used in the Battle of Hamel in 1918, when they contributed to a successful assault by Australian units on the German lines. During the development of Mk.V heavy tank model kit, MENG received great supports from The Tank Museum in Bovington, UK. As one of the most famous tank museums in the world, it keeps more than 300 vehicles, including the Mk.V heavy tank (male). MENG’s designers measured the real vehicle and studied a lot of reference materials in order to accurately represent this classic tank. This kit includes precisely reproduced driver’s cabin, engine and other interiors. Traditional cement-free workable tracks are easy to assemble. “Crib” trench crossing device is provided to show its unique history. We believe that this Mk.V will bring a brand new building experience for rhomboid tank fans.
