The Lockheed U-2 is a reconnaissance aircraft that was used extensively by the United States during the Cold War, notably for observing Soviet territory. Having been modernized, it remains in service, with its retirement scheduled for 2026. The U-2's main characteristic is its ability to fly at high altitude (70,000 feet, or approximately 21,300 meters, twice the altitude of commercial airliners) to remain beyond the range of anti-aircraft defenses. It has a significant range but a relatively limited speed. Technically, the U-2 could be considered a "powered glider" due to the very high aspect ratio of its wings, similar to that of gliders. While rumors circulate about a wooden wing structure, Denis Jenkins, in WarbirdTech, Volume 16, mentions a monocoque aluminum structure for the fuselage, three wing spars, and an aluminum truss. Similarly, Bernard Millot, in Docavia 29 on Lockheed aircraft, mentions an all-metal construction.  Features  Italeri kit reprint. High-altitude reconnaissance version stationed at Osan Air Base. Exterior and interior of the cockpit reproduced with precision. Two marking options included. Photo-etched parts included.

Second release in cooperation between Wave and Academy based on the Panzer World Galient anime TV series. Academy holds the rights to produce these kits while Wave is doing the new tools. Panzer World Galient (Kikōkai Galient) is a mecha anime series created by Ryōsuke Takahashi and produced by Sunrise in 1984-1985. Unlike traditional sci-fi mecha shows, Galient blends medieval fantasy with futuristic technology, featuring knightly mechas (Panzer Frames) in a world of swords, magic, and war. The story follows Jordy Volder, the rightful heir of the kingdom of Arst, as he leads a rebellion against the tyrannical dictator Mardoul using the legendary Panzer Frame Galient. Promaxis is a key character in the series, initially appearing as a powerful and enigmatic enemy knight serving Mardoul. Clad in distinctive armor and piloting an imposing Panzer Frame, he is a skilled and ruthless warrior, often clashing with Jordy. However, as the story unfolds, his true identity and motivations become more complex, revealing layers of intrigue within Mardoul’s forces. His presence adds depth to the show’s themes of loyalty, destiny, and redemption. Panzer World Galient remains a cult classic, known for its unique blend of fantasy and mecha, as well as its detailed mechanical designs by Kunio Okawara (Gundam). Kit is snap fit type, no glue required, and turns into a poseable model once built.

The British Aerospace Sea Harrier is a naval short take-off and vertical landing/vertical take-off and landing jet fighter, reconnaissance and attack aircraft. It is the second member of the Harrier family developed. It first entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980 as the Sea Harrier FRS1 and became informally known as the ""Shar"". Unusual in an era in which most naval and land-based air superiority fighters were large and supersonic, the principal role of the subsonic Sea Harrier was to provide air defence for Royal Navy task groups centred around the aircraft carriers. Features Precisely depicts the cockpit, the interior of the aircraft, each panel line, and various weapons systems. Design decals for British Fleet Air Force (XZ451/ZD608) and Indian Fleet Air Force (IN604) are included.

Term 2 , 5 -ton, 6x6 truck (colloquially: deuce and a half) refers to the entire family of medium trucks used by the US armed forces during World War II, but also on a large scale during the Cold War. This family of trucks was designed and produced in the early 1940s for the US Army as a basic 5,000 lb. (2.5 'short' or 2.3 metric) heavy duty truck. terrain and in all weather conditions. From the very beginning it was assumed that these types of cars would be simple in design and that their production would be mass production. During World War II, a total of over 700,000 trucks of this type were created, especially by GMC (CCKW model) and Studebaker. Many of these vehicles found their way to the USSR under the Lend-and-Lease program. The families of these trucks played a gigantic role in the logistics and transport of Allied and Soviet troops during World War II. After 1945, the M35 series trucks were introduced into service, which is also often included in the family 2 , 5 -ton, 6x6 truck. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The F-16I is the Israeli Air Force's advanced tactical aircraft building upon their extensive combat experience in the earlier F-16 variants. One of the most notable differences between the F-16I and earlier Vipers is the inclusion of the second cockpit. While F-16B and F-16D trainers have nearly identical combat capabilities as their single-seat counterparts, these two-seaters are used primarily for training. The F-16I, like the F-15E Strike Eagle and the F-4 Phantom II before it, makes use of that crucial second set of eyes to aid the pilot with situational awareness as well as to operate the on-board mission systems leaving the pilot free to fly the aircraft. Features Nice all-glass cockpits fore and aft Re-tooled instrument panel covers Choice of clear or tinted canopies Positionable canopy Choice of narrow or widemouth inlets (the Sufa uses the narrow mouth) Choice of Pratt or GE afterburner sections (again, the Sufa uses the Pratt) Full-length inlet with engine face Nicely detailed wheel wells Choice of standard F-16C/D tail base or dorsal spine (Sufa uses the dorsal) Choice of standard rear tail fairing or parapack housing Late block landing/taxi lights on nose gear door Bulged main gear doors and heavy duty main gear (so no backdating to a Block 25/30/32 without raiding the Hasegawa kit) Positionable speed brakes Positionable trailing edge flaps Positionable radome to reveal detailed radar Turned aluminum pitot tube and AOA sensors Sufa-specific lateral nose antennas (stock antennas also in the box) Advanced IFF antennas RHAW/EW antenna fairings on the inlet sides and under the inlet (standard nav light fairings also in the box) Optional boarding ladder Optional crew figures

McDonnell-Douglas / Northrop F / A-18 Hornet is an on-board fighter and attack aircraft capable of operating in all weather conditions. The roots of the F / A-18 go back to 1974 and the F-17 prototype, which was of interest to the US Navy command this year. The contract for the serial construction of the aircraft was concluded in 1976. In order to accelerate the work, the Northrop concern entered into cooperation with the McDonnell-Douglas concern. As a result, on November 18, 1978, the test flight of the prototype took place, and a year later, successful landings on the aircraft carrier. Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units with General Electric F404-GE-402 engines as the propulsion unit. The plane is produced in several versions. The first were the F-18A (fighter) and F-18B (training). Foreign orders from Spain, Canada and Australia appeared quickly. In 1987, a version of the F-18C was created, adapted to the use of AMRAAM missiles. A year later, the F / A-18D, a two-seat version of the F-18, entered service in all weather conditions, and could be used as an attack aircraft. On its basis, the reconnaissance version of the R / F-18D was created. The newest versions (the so-called Super Hornet) -F / A-18E and F / A-18F are very modified versions of the F / A-18D. They are characterized by an increased length of the fuselage, wingspan and their surface. They also have new General Electric F414 engines and a decidedly expanded and modernized avionics. They were presented for the first time in 1995. The EA-18G Growler electronic warfare plane was also created on the basis of the F-18. All versions of the F / A-18 met with favor of pilots, they are characterized by low failure rate, ease of use and very good flight parameters. Hornets took part in the operation against Libya in 1986 and in the Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Technical data (version F / A-18 C): Maximum speed: 1915 km / h, speed of climb: 254 m / s, practical ceiling 15 240 m, maximum range: 3340 km, operating radius: 280-740 km, armament: fixed- Single 20mm M61A-1 six-barrel cannon, underslung - up to 7700 kg of cargo. This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a medium multi-role and infantry support helicopter of American production with a metal structure in a classic layout with a main rotor and a tail rotor on the beam. The drive of the UH-60 D version is provided by two General Electric T-700-700 engines with a capacity of 1560 HP each. The flight of the first prototype took place in 1974, and serial production, which started in 1974, is still ongoing. It is estimated that over 4,000 copies of this helicopter were built by 2017. The Sikorsky UH-60 was created in response to a tender launched in 1972 by the US Army for a new transport helicopter to replace the UH-1 Huey machines. The new machine was supposed to have better performance, be cheaper to operate and be characterized by high survivability on the battlefield. All these criteria were met by the machine of the Sikorsky concern, with particular emphasis on the last of the above-mentioned elements. Many development versions of this very solid and successful helicopter were created in the course of serial production. The basic version was designated as UH-60A, which was used primarily for transport purposes. Later, the UH-60L version with more powerful engines was introduced, which increased the lifting capacity of the machine. A version of the S-70 International was also created, widely offered - often successfully - to foreign customers. It is worth adding that at present (2017) this version is produced in the plants in Mielec. Numerous specialized versions have also been created, such as the MH-60A, which is dedicated to American special forces. On the basis of the UH-60, the marine version, the SH-60 Seahawk, was also significantly changed. MH-60 helicopters actively participated in the intervention in Granada (1983), the operation in Mogadishu (1993), both wars in Iraq (1990-1991 and 2003), as well as in the operation in Afghanistan from 2001. They have also been exported to many countries, including Austria, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, Israel, Japan and Turkey. This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Bell UH-1 Iroquois (commonly known as Huey) is a multirole helicopter of American production from the Cold War and modern times.

The Direct Action Penetrator (DAP) is one of the most awesome airborne weapon platforms the US Army Special Operation Forces operate. As the ground troops carry out their missions, they feel relieved knowing that the DAP is in the sky, providing armed escort and precision guided fire support. If you're looking for an exciting kit to build with lots of armament and highly detailed parts, look no further than Academy's AH-60 DAP. Used primarily as an attack helicopter, the AH-60 DAP is a highly modified version of the standard UH-60L Black Hawk. The DAP is equipped with an advanced avionics package including a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) surveillance system, making it accurate and effective both day and night. The communications package is extensive, and the Fast Rope Insertion and Extraction System (FRIES) can support a remarkable 1,500 lbs per side. To provide for extended range, the DAP is equipped with inboard auxiliary fuel tanks, and many have a refueling probe for in-flight refueling capability. Academy's AH-60 DAP is a bona fide replica, meticulously capturing every detail. Made up of over 270 parts, this awesome 1/35 scale measures nearly 2 feet in length. Academy's engineers loaded this model with an impressive arsenal, including 6-barrel Gatling door guns with 1 kilometer range, M261 19 tube rocket launcher, and inescapable AGM-114 Hellfire semi-active laser guided missiles. The kit comes with inboard auxiliary fuel tanks, just like the real thing. It even includes an accurate cockpit and instrument panel with FLIR scope monitors. The DAP is operated by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). SOAR seeks out only the best aviators and soldiers to be members of their team. Are you ready to SOAR?

Reissue of the MRC 1/35-scale AH-1W kit by Academy with slightly retooled nose and forward canopy profile to represent the current Super Cobras with NTS upgrade. Other parts are the same as previous AH-1W releases. Decals are provided to mark the kit as any of three aircraft: TV/28 of HML/A-167 "Warriors" (shown), the shark-mouthed TV/39, also of HML/A-167, and EM/30 attached to HMM-261 "Raging Bulls" during "Operation Bright Star 2000." The AH-1 Cobra helicopter (Bell 209) is an attack helicopter in the classic layout, using many components of its "big brother" UH-1 Huey. The first flight of the AH-1 prototype took place on September 7, 1965 and the helicopter entered mass production in the same year. During the Vietnam War, 1,126 machines of the G model were produced, of which 279 were lost in combat. Due to the very high reliability of the structure, small side profile and good performance, the helicopter remains in service to this day in the US Marine Corps. The AH-1 allowed the US Army to fully implement the theoretical assumption of airmobile infantry ("air cavalry") through the fire support of landing infantry units. Today, the AH-1 Cobra is primarily used against an armored celon. From 1965, several versions of this successful helicopter were created, including: AH-1G (basic version), AH-1J (two-engine version), AH-1Q (version armed with TOW missiles). Technical data: Top speed: 333 km / h; maximum range (depending on version): 507-574km, armament: fixed-1 20mm M197 three-barrel cannon, slung rockets, guided missiles, unguided missiles and cannon pods.
