Modern warfare requires the support of a robust supply infrastructure and a fleet of effective vehicles to keep troops on the move and well-supplied. For almost 40 years and throughout the Cold War era, the British Army relied on the 4-ton 4x4 General Service Truck to fulfil this role. The undisputed load-lugging champion of the Army and a true workhorse of Britain’s armed forces, these incredibly rugged and reliable vehicles initially used multifuel engines but these were later replaced with more economical diesel units. With more than 50,000 produced, they were adapted to perform a multitude of different roles. Always in the background, these vehicles were unquestionably the backbone of the British Army.

A hugely successful 6X6 armoured personnel carrier introduced by the British Army during the early 1950s, the Saracen protected its two-man crew and squad of 10 troops when they were sent into hostile environments around the world, earning a reputation as one of the most effective and reliable military vehicles of the post war era.

One of the first mass-produced British tanks of the 1930s, the Vickers Light Tank was essentially an armoured reconnaissance vehicle. It was manufactured to an extremely high standard, with two Vickers machine guns mounted in its turret, although they couldn’t be fired at the same time. Used extensively by the BEF in France and in the Western Desert at the start of the Second World War, these reliable little tanks were no match for the firepower of the latest German and Italian guns. However, you can now build your own Vickers LIght Tank vehicle with this 1:76 model kit.

As Allied forces began to move off the D-Day beaches and into the Normandy countryside, they knew they would be facing strong opposition from German Panzer units, including the feared Heavy Tank Battalions. Fortunately, they now had a tank which was capable of taking on the Tigers and Panthers, in the form of the Sherman Firefly, a British designed marriage of the M4 Sherman and their famous 17-pounder anti-tank gun.Usually deployed in a ratio of one Firefly to four standard Shermans, German tank commanders soon learned to look for the longer barrel of the Firefly and attempt to knock these tanks out first. In order to make identification more difficult, British crews would camouflage the front of their guns with light coloured paint, giving their tank the appearance of a standard 75mm equipped Sherman, hoping this deception would give them enough time to get in the first shot during any engagement.Specifications Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 11 Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 3.75 Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.6 How many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?: 88 Item Scale: 1:72 Contents (what's in the box) sets: Sprues & decals Finish: Plastic Number of Scheme options: 2 Skill Level: 1 Flying Hours: 1

When the mighty German Tiger 1 entered service during the Autumn of 1942, it was the most advanced tank in the world and one designed specifically to dominate the battlefield. Capable of destroying anything the Allies had in service, the Tiger possessed a stand-off advantage where it could kill without being killed, picking off enemy tanks before they could even think about returning fire. Unfortunately for the Wehrmacht, the awesome potential of the Tiger was never fully realised, as it was over engineered, extremely complex and expensive to produce, ensuring that there were never enough Tigers on the battlefield at any one time.Between 1942 and 1944, only 1,347 Tiger 1s were manufactured and, whilst it was undoubtedly one of the finest tanks ever produced, it could not hold back the ever increasing numbers of Allied armour. Highlighting this numerical disparity, American factories were able to produce over 49,000 Sherman Tanks during WWII.As one of the most advanced and destructive tanks ever created, now's your chance to bring home a much-loved piece of WWII history for your Airfix range.

The aviation product of a 1960s Anglo-French collaboration, the SEPECAT Jaguar was a highly effective tactical strike/attack, close air support and reconnaissance aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force for an impressive 33 years. Featuring a high-set wing and long undercarriage, the Jaguar could be operated from grass airfields and roughly prepared landing strips, as famously demonstrated to the nation’s media on 26th April 1975, when the second production Jaguar GR.1 XX109 made a parachute-assisted landing on the carriageway of the soon-to-be-opened M55 motorway near Blackpool.

One of the world’s first classic jet fighters, the F-86 Sabre was a true pilot’s aeroplane, featuring beautifully harmonised controls and six reliable 0.50cal M3 Browning machine guns, in the days prior to rocket armament becoming the norm.
