Bismarck was a German battleship, the keel of which was laid in 1936 and launched in February 1939. The battleship entered the rope service in the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in August 1940. The ship was 251 meters long, 36 meters wide, and had a full displacement of 53,000 tons. Bismarck's top speed was around 29-30 knots. The main armament was 8 380 mm guns in four twin turrets, and the secondary armament included: 12 150 mm guns or 16 105 mm guns. The Bismarck was the first ship of the type with the same name - the Bismarck. It was ordered to replace in line the old battleship Hannover, completely obsolete in the 1930s. At the time of launch, Bismarck was the largest German ship and the largest European battleship. It had good armor, and its main or secondary armament was inferior to its counterparts on British ships. He made his maiden voyage in September 1940, when he was ferry to Gdynia, which was to be his home port. Bismarck's combat trail during World War II was very short. Bismarck set out on its first combat voyage on May 19, 1941 - it was supposed to perform cruising operations in the Atlantic and attack primarily Allied convoys. In carrying out this plan, Bismarck, with the accompanying heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was already crossing the Danish Strait a few days later. On May 24, a battle took place in this strait between the German team and British ships, as a result of which the battlecruiser HMS Hood was sunk and Bismarck itself was badly damaged. After this battle, significant Royal Navy forces - including the Polish destroyer ORP Piorun - were directed against Bismarck, which the German ship tracked down and sent to the bottom on May 27, 1941. It is worth noting that there is a probable hypothesis assuming that the battleship Bismarck was self-sunk by the crew in connection with the damage sustained in combat on May 27, which made it impossible to return to the base on its own. This high quality plastic kit is a to scale model that will require assembly and may require additional tools, sold separately.

Tirpitz was the second of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine (navy) during World War II.

The RMS Titanic was a passenger ship of the British shipping company White Star Line. She was built in Belfast at the Harland & Wolff shipyard and was the largest ship in the world when she entered service on April 2, 1912.As the second of three Olympic-class steamers, like her sister ships she was intended for liner service on the Southampton-Cherbourg-Queenstown-New York, New York-Plymouth-Cherbourg-Southampton route and was to set new standards in travel comfort. On her maiden voyage, the Titanic collided sideways with an iceberg on April 14, 1912 at around 11:40 p.m. approximately 300 nautical miles southeast of Newfoundland and sank two hours and 40 minutes later in the North Atlantic. The kit features an LED set which adds drama and brings the completed model to life. Deck structures are realistic, the hull is molded in color.The kit comes with display stand and nameplate.

THE USS Missouri (BB-63), (“Mighty Mo” or “Big Mo”) is a United States Navy Iowa-class battleship and was the third ship of the U.S. Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of Missouri. Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and was best remembered as the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended World War II. Missouri received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, and was finally decommissioned on 31 March 1992. She remained on the Naval Vessel Register until January 1995. Features ALL NEW TOOLING!

USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier. The keel for this unit was laid in 1958, the launch took place in September 1960, and the commissioning to the US Navy took place in 1961. The total length of the ship was 342 meters, the overall width was 78.4 meters, and her full displacement was about 93,000 tons. The maximum speed was up to 33 knots. The on-board armament included, among others: three Sea Sparrow rocket launchers and three 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx CIWS sets. Later, two launchers for the RIM-116 missile were also added. The aircraft carrier could take up to 90 aircraft on board, but normally operated 60-70 planes and helicopters. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65, commonly known as Big "E") was the first and only ship of her type. Very high construction costs, well above the original assumption, led to the cancellation of five planned units of this type. The USS Enterprise, however, was unique not only because of this, but also because it was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in history to have as many as eight nuclear reactors on board! The unit received very modern for those times electronic equipment in the form of e.g. SCANFAR radar. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), very shortly after its entry into service, took part in the maritime blockade of Cuba in 1962. Two years later, he operated in the Mediterranean. The unit also took an active part in the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975), fighting in it from the very beginning. In 1969, a tragic accident occurred on the carrier, the self-ignition of one of the missiles, killing 28 people and injuring 334. In 1986, the USS Enterprise became the first nuclear carrier to cross the Suez Canal. Shortly after that, the carrier's on-board planes bombed targets in Libya. The unit was decommissioned in 2012. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

USS Missouri (BB-63) was an American battleship laid down in 1941, launched in January 1944, and commissioned in the US Navy in June 1944. The length of the ship was 270.4 m, width 33 m, and her full displacement - at the time of launching - 58,400 tons. The top speed of the USS Missouri battleship was up to 33 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 20 127 mm guns. The USS Missouri was the third of the six Iowa-class battleships ordered. As it turned out, with the Montana-class battleship building program failing, the Iowa-class battleships were the last to be launched for the US Navy. As they were built without any financial or displacement limits, they also turned out to be the most technologically advanced American battleships in World War II. From the outset, they were built as key carrier ships for aircraft carriers and placed great emphasis on high top speed, which made Iowa-class battleships much faster than any other American battleships. They also had carefully crafted armor and new 406 mm Mk. VII with a greater range of the effective shot. USS Missouri (BB-63) began its participation in World War II in December 1944, by ferrying from Atlantic ports to Hawaii. As early as January 1945, he supported the US Marines on Iwo-Jima with his artillery. In March this year, the USS Missouri acted as a shield ship for a team of aircraft carriers that attacked targets on the Japanese Islands with their on-board planes. In April, he supported activities in the Okinawa region. The battleship completed its operations in World War II in a very glorious and representative manner - it was on board that the representatives of Japan signed the act of unconditional surrender of their country on September 2, 1945. The ship also took an active part in the Korean War (1950-1953). In 1956, however, he was placed in the reserve. In the 1980s, he returned to line service, having previously undergone a thorough modernization. It involved the installation of modern electronics and fire control systems, as well as the installation of Tomahawk and Harpoon rocket launchers and Phalanx anti-aircraft systems. The battleship was also adapted to the homing of on-board helicopters. The ship modernized in this way took an active part in the protection of tankers in the Persian Gulf region in 1987, in the final phase of the Iran-Iraq war. He returned to these waters in 1990 to take an active part in Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) firing rockets and on-board artillery at targets in Iraq. Finally, in 1992, the ship was decommissioned. At present, it serves as a museum ship in Hawaii. This full-hull model of the U.S. Navy Iowa-class battleship Missouri features a precisely molded upper structure, various weapons such as rotatable 16inch triple main gun and turret, and a reconnaissance aircraft on board, with a modest number of parts to simplify assembly.

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.

The Penydarren locomotive is a steam locomotive (steam locomotive) that was manufactured in 1804 and was experimentally operated at the Penydarren steelworks (hence the name of the vehicle) in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Sometimes the name Invicta is used to describe this vehicle - not entirely correct - It had a B-type axle system and was able to accelerate to only about 4 km / h. Its constructor was the British inventor and engineer Richard Trevithick, who a year earlier had created a de facto steam locomotive for the Coalbrookdale company. However, the company decided not to continue cooperation with the inventor and was unable to find a use for his invention. Shortly thereafter, Richard Trevithick started cooperation with Penydarren Ironworks, and in February 1804 a new vehicle was created that was able to move forward and backward on the tracks without major problems. However, the large mass of the engine made the tracks not adapted to such a large mass crack. Unfortunately, further work on this locomotive was suspended, and the only one of it has not survived to our times. Build your own plastic model Steam Locomotive Penydarren with this quality scale kit This high quality plastic kit is a scale model that will require assembly and may require additional tools, sold separately.

Leonardo Da Vinci (born in 1452, died in 1519) was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant people of the Renaissance and is widely regarded as one of the most talented people in history. He was not only an exceptionally talented painter, author of such masterpieces as "The Lady with an Ermine" or "The Last Supper", but also an extremely prolific inventor and innovator. One of his great passions was music, and this passion led to the design of one of Leonardo's most unusual inventions - the Mechanical Drum. Based on two drawings from the Atlantic Codex, i.e. a collection of notes by Leonardo da Vinci from 1489-1492, it can be concluded that the drum was designed to be used in a variety of situations - both military and civil. The construction was based on placing the drum in front of the device and the use of two wooden rollers rotated by a crank, to which the sticks were to be attached to beat the beat. Interestingly, the sticks and rollers could be set to punch the desired rhythm or melody. The drum was also placed on a circular "chassis", which mechanically beat the rhythm as the device was moved! In addition to many iconic works of art and inventions, the restless mind of Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) was frequently occupied with adding to his voluminous notebooks, filled with designs for machines and structures. This model kit reproduces one of those designs -- a mechanical drum fitted with a device to play it automatically! It can be assembled on a cart or a stand; assembles without the need for glue, and instructions in English are included. This is an assembly kit of a space exploration vehicle or other non-fictional mechanism.
