Uniformed Heavy Personnel Transport Vehicle Kit, Type 40 with 3D printed parts (new) in 1/72 scale - Model Dragon.The Horch 1A (or: Horch 108) was a German off-road passenger car of the interwar and World War II period. The first prototypes of this car were built in the mid-1930s, and mass production began in 1938 and lasted until 1941. The length of the vehicle was 4.85 m, with a height of 2.04 m and a width of 2 m, with an unladen weight of up to 3,600 kilograms. Transmission was provided by a single 8-cylinder Auto-Union engine with a capacity of 3.8 liters and a power output of up to 81 hp. Over time, however, the Ford engine (manufactured in Germany) with a displacement of 78 hp was used. The Horch 1A was developed for the needs of the German armed forces, which, along with its rapid growth after 1933, aimed for a universal, lightweight and possibly reliable passenger off-road vehicle. The Horch plant met these needs by developing the vehicle presented below. The vehicle uses solutions such as, for example, all-wheel drive, independent suspension of each wheel, or the ability to turn all wheels. In any case, the last solution proved to be very unsuccessful in the course of the operation. It is worth noting that already during World War II the design of the car was simplified, which was manifested, for example, by the abandonment of recesses in the fuselage for the spare wheels. Horch 1A served in the German armed forces on virtually all fronts until 1945.

This popular and versatile chassis gave rise to a variety of uses, including that of Gun Motor Carriage (GMC), a half-track equipped with a 75 mm anti-tank gun. When the United States witnessed the devastating power of the German Blitzkrieg in 1940, there was an urgent call for the production of fighter carriers. The GMC M3, equipped with a 75 mm M1897A4 gun, was one of the urgent solutions, standardized in October 1941. More than 2,200 examples were produced, although only 842 entered service, as the remainder were converted back into standard troop transport vehicles. The GMC M3 was employed by the U.S. Army in the Philippines (where some captured examples were even used against U.S. forces in 1944!), Tunisia and North Africa (e.g., in the Battle of Kasserine Pass), and Sicily. They were later phased out of service in favor of the far more effective M10 fighter-tankers, although many continued to be employed by the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific theater until well into 1945. Other nations also used them, including Great Britain and France.As part of its outstanding series of M2/M3 half-tracks, Dragon is pleased to announce the GMC M3. Notably, it is the first 1/35 scale vehicle of its kind produced with updated specifications. The open-air combat vehicle is richly detailed, with a large number of completely new molds in keeping with its vocation as a fighter-tank vehicle. This means that the combat compartment features a completely new configuration. The M1897A4 75mm cannon is also a completely new element, designed from the ground up with extremely high tolerances. Its protection is injection molded with a scale thickness that matches that of the original. This 1/35 scale plastic kit from Dragon is a worthy candidate to continue the M2/M3 family line and is ready to go into battle in the Pacific, North Africa or the Mediterranean.
Amphibious tank kit Combat version IJN Type 2 (Ka-Mi) 1/35 scale - Model Dragon.The Type 2 Ka-Mi was a Japanese amphibious tank of World War II. The first prototypes were built in the early 1940s, and mass production continued in 1943-1945. In total, about 180 examples of this tank were built. The Type 2 Ka-Mi was powered by a Mitsubishi engine with 115 hp. It was armed with a single 37-mm cannon in the turret and two Type 97 7.7-mm machine guns.The Type 2 Ka-Mi was created in connection with the need to develop a floating tank for Japanese marine units attacking or defending on numerous islands in the Pacific Ocean. From the beginning, the Type 2 Ka-Mi was designed as an infantry support tank with the greatest possible mobility. Many components of the Type 95 Ha-Go tank were used in its construction, mainly the engine, suspension and, in fact, the entire chassis. Instead, a new turret and metal pontoons were added - at the front and rear of the hull - which improved the vehicle's buoyancy and could be launched very quickly out of the water. Type 2 Ka-Mi tanks were used in combat mainly during the fighting in the Philippines in 1944 and in the battles for the Marian Archipelagos and Marshall Island.

The USS Ohio is the name given to multiple naval units of the United States Navy (US Navy) throughout history, but the best known is the nuclear ballistic missile-launching submarine (SSBN-726), the leader of the Ohio class, one of the most powerful and feared strategic weapons of the Cold War and beyond. USS Ohio (SSBN-726 / SSGN-726) Type: nuclear missile launching submarine (SSBN), later converted to cruise missile launching submarine (SSGN) Entry into service: 1981 Conversion to SSGN: 2006 (from ballistic missile launcher to cruise missile launcher) Key features (after conversion) Propulsion: Nuclear (S8G pressurized water reactor) Length: about 170 m Displacement: ~18,750 tons underwater Speed: >25 knots underwater Crew: ~155 men (2 crews, Blue and Gold, alternating) Armament Original version (SSBN): Up to 24 Trident I/II ballistic missiles with MIRV nuclear warheads 4 x 533 mm torpedo tubes After conversion (SSGN): Up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles (in 22 vertical tubes) Modules for special operations (Navy SEALs transport, underwater drones, etc.). 2 533 mm torpedo tubes Operational role As SSBN: strategic nuclear deterrent during the Cold War As SSGN: long-range precision strikes and special operations support Conclusion The USS Ohio is a symbol of U.S. submarine power: born as a strategic nuclear launch pad, it was converted to meet the challenges of the 21st century as a conventional attack submarine and special forces support. Even today, it is one of the most versatile and feared assets in the U.S. submarine fleet.

And what class in the U.S. Navy did she belong to? The Longbeach was a nuclear-powered missile launcher cruiser that entered service on September 9, 1961. She also had the distinction of being the first completely new U.S. cruiser since World War II, and since cruisers have generally since then been based simply on larger destroyer hulls, her crew appropriately described her as "The Only True Cruiser." The USS Longbeach had a pair of 5-inch .38-caliber guns mounted amidships, and at the time of her decommissioning in July 1994, the upgraded cruiser had two Standard missile launchers, two Tomahawk cruise missile launchers, two Phalanx CIWS missile launchers, and a Harpoon. The cruiser's service was concentrated in the Atlantic Fleet from 1961 to 1966, before being transferred to the California coast. She took part in fighting in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War and lasted long enough to provide support during the 1991 Gulf War. USS Longbeach, this unique military ship, served for 33 years before settling in its current resting place in Puget Sound, Washington.Cyber ??Hobby has produced a superb 1/700 scale kit of this nuclear-powered cruiser. The market has been exceptionally receptive to Cyber ??Hobby's line of 1/700 scale warships due to their high quality and unique subjects compared to other products available on the market. Item No. 7091 will be no exception. It is an excellent model, and apart from the two central turrets, the ship is completely new. The components are cleverly designed to assemble precisely and smoothly, plus the detail rendered by the plastic is exemplary. The original USS Longbeach was a unique ship, and this 1/700 scale model is equally special.
USS Kidd DDG-993 ship kit in 1/350 scale - Dragon model. The USS Kidd (DDG-993) was a U.S. Navy missile-launching destroyer, leader of the Kidd class, active during the 1980s and 1990s. She was originally designed for Iran as part of a military agreement with the Shah, but after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the four ships built were acquired by the U.S. Navy. General characteristics Type: guided missile destroyer (guided missile destroyer) Class: Kidd (DDG-993-996) Entry into service (US Navy): 1981 Displacement: ~9,800 tons fully loaded Length: 171 meters Propulsion: 4 General Electric LM2500 gas turbines Maximum speed: ~33 knots Crew: ~337 men Armament (in standard configuration) 2 Mk 26 launchers for Standard SM-1MR missiles (medium-range air defense) ASROC missiles (anti-submarine) 324 mm anti-submarine torpedoes (Mk 32) 2 Mk 45 127 mmcannons 2 CIWS Phalanx for close-in defense 8 Harpoon anti-ship missiles Sonar system and advanced ASW capabilities Helicopter platform (but no permanent hangar) Distinctive features Derived from the Spruance class, but with enhanced anti-aircraft capabilities Designed for operations in hot and dusty climates, with enhanced filter systems (designed for the Persian Gulf) Advanced avionics and radar for the time Strong anti-aircraft, anti-submarine and anti-shipcapabilities Service and history USS Kidd served in the Pacific and Persian Gulf, participating in patrol operations, NATO exercises, and support for operations in the Middle East. She was retired from service in 1998, and later sold to the Taiwan Navy, where she serves today as ROCS Tso Ying (DDG-1803). Conclusion USS Kidd (DDG-993) was a sophisticated and powerful destroyer, representative of the U.S. Navy's transition to multi-purpose fleets equipped with advanced missile systems. Although born of a canceled contract, she became an important asset to the U.S. fleet, and continues her operational life in another navy.

Tank kit Sd.Kfz. 250/9Ausf. A (2 cm KwK) Complete 2-in-1 interior - 250/9Z or 250/9E in 1/35 scale - Model Dragon.Sd.Kfz 250 was a German World War II light armored half-track transport. The first prototypes of the vehicle were made in 1939, and mass production continued during 1940-1944, ending with the production of about 6,700 units. The Sd.Kfz 250 was powered by a Maybach HL 42 TRKM six-cylinder engine with 100 hp .The Sd.Kfz 250 was developed as a light, multipurpose reconnaissance vehicle for German armored divisions and panzer grenadiers. During series production, two versions of the Sd.Kfz 250 hull were created: the first (called "alt") had undercut side hull plates and a broken armor plate at the front of the hull. In 1943 the "neu" version was introduced, which was simplified: the hull sides were flat, as was the armor on the front of the car. During World War II several variants and versions of the Sd.Kfz 250 were created. The first chronological version was the Sd.Kfz 250/1, which was the basic version and could function as a light infantry carrier or reconnaissance vehicle. Later appeared the Sd.Kfz 250/3, which was a command version with a long-range frame antenna and a long-range radio. Later, an armed version with an 80-mm mortar (Sd.Kfz 250/7), a 28-mm anti-tank gun (Sd.Kfz 250/11) or a reconnaissance vehicle with a 20-mm gun in a rotating turret (Sd. Kfz 250/9). Sd.Kfz 250 machines of all versions were used primarily in armored divisions and armored grenadiers on virtually all fronts of World War II.

The objective was for the German army to cut the Allied line in half, capture Antwerp, advance northward, encircling and destroying four Allied armies, thus forcing them to negotiate peace.Although unsuccessful, it nevertheless committed enormous amounts of Allied resources, and a slow response to the ensuing disruption of the lines erased months of delay. An alternative analysis is that the offensive allowed the Allies to severely deplete the crème de la crème of the German army outside the defenses of the Western Wall and under poor supply conditions, greatly facilitating the subsequent assault on Germany. In terms of numbers, it is the largest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army.About Dragon's "Magic Tracks":these tracks are ready to assemble, no cleaning required! They even snap together with a friction fit system for easy assembly. Just a light application of glue later-the magic of Magic Tracks!
