US M911 C-HET kit with M747 and M60A1 heavy equipment trailer with ERA in 1/72 scale - Takom model.The Oshkosh M911 is a modern American heavy truck. The vehicle entered service with the U.S. Army in 1977 and is still in service today. The length of the car (without a trailer) is 9.3 meters and a width of 2.44 meters. The truck is powered by a single Detroit Diesel 8V92TA diesel engine with an output of 450 hp. The top speed of the M911 is 72 km/h. An estimated 1,000 such trucks have been produced so far.The M911 truck was developed and put into production by Oshkosh Corporation to replace the M746 tractor in the ranks of the U.S. Army. To reduce research and development time, the manufacturer decided to use the proven F2365 civilian truck. The main task of M911 vehicles is to transport tanks (e.g., M47 or M60), armored vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, as well as any other heavy equipment. The M911 works most often in combination with the M747 towed semi-trailer with a maximum load capacity of 60 tons. In order to increase strategic mobility, the truck is designed so that it can be transported by C-5 Galaxy or C-141 Starlifter aircraft. The only foreign user of the vehicle is Thailand. With the large-scale introduction of the M1 Abrams in the 1980s, the M911 truck began to be replaced by the Oshkosh M1070, but it is still in service.The M60 Patton was a second-generation American main battle tank. The first prototypes of the car were created in the late 1950s, and mass production continued in 1960-1987, ending with the production of more than 15,000 examples of this tank. The M60 Patton was powered by a Continental AVDA-1790-2 engine with 750 hp. Armament in the basic version was an M68 105 mm machine gun, 1 M85 12.7 mm machine gun, and 1 M73 7.62 mm machine gun.Design work on The M60 Patton began when U.S. intelligence learned that the Soviet Army would introduce a new T-62 tank armed with a 115 mm gun into the line. In an attempt to respond to this new threat, it was decided to rebuild the M48 tank in depth, effectively creating a new vehicle. First of all, new weapons were used, namely the 105 mm cannon, the armor was significantly strengthened, and a new engine with more power was used. The new design was at least comparable to the T-54, T-55 or T-62 tanks, but was inferior to the T-64 and T-72 series vehicles, especially in terms of firepower. Three versions of the M60 were produced in the course of mass production. The first was the M60A1, which came on line in 1969 and had a new turret and even thicker armor. The M60A2 version with a 152 mm cannon launcher capable of firing guided missiles proved to be a dead end. Finally, the last production version was the M60A3, which mainly featured a modern fire control system (SKO) with laser rangefinder and passive night vision sight. M60 tanks of all versions were exported to many countries, including: Brazil, Greece, Spain, Israel and Portugal. They also took part in many armed conflicts of the Cold War period, mainly in the Yom-Kippur War of 1973, the Iraqi-Iranian War of 1980-1988, and the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991.

Kit 1/4 Ton 4x4 G503 MB Utility Truck in 1/16 scale - Takom model.The Jeep Willys (also known as Willys MB or Jeep) is an American wartime and postwar passenger car. The first prototypes were built in 1940 and mass production began between 1940 and 1945. Nearly 650,000 examples were produced! The vehicle weighed about 1.1 tons, with a length of 3.36 meters and a width of 1.57 meters. Traction was provided by a single 60-hp engine. The maximum speed attainable was 105 km/h.The Jeep Willys was developed on commission and at the request of the U.S. Army, which in 1940, facing war, demanded a completely new 4x4 passenger car with a load capacity of up to 250 kilograms that could be mass produced. It is worth adding that initially the American Bantam BRC was the favorite in the bidding process. However, the U.S. Department of Defense, in an effort to ensure the best possible design and smooth mass production, awarded the Bantam BRC's designs to the Willys and Ford plants. Based on these designs, Willys developed a Jeep with a much better performing engine than the original Bantam BRC, as well as being mechanically more perfect. In the end, it was this car, the Willys Jeep, that won the bid for the U.S. Army. The submitted car was actually mass-produced and supplied to almost all Anglo-Saxon armies engaged in World War II and, thanks to the Lend-and-Lease program, also to the Soviet Union. It participated in hostilities in North Africa, Italy, Northern Europe and the Pacific. The Jeep Willys is often believed to be one of the symbols of American triumph in World War II.

Henschel Hs 129 B-3 - 1/48 - TAKOM 48002
SKU TKM-48002
Brand TAKOM MODEL
Scale: 1/48
Nation: Germany
Period: WWII
Type: Aircraft
Category Kit

Henschel Hs 129 B-3 aircraft kit with 1/48 scale interior - Takom model.The Henschel Hs129 is a German, twin-engine, single-seat, all-metal attack aircraft with a low-wing design with a classic World War II tail. The prototype flight took place on May 25, 1939; mass production began in 1940, but it entered service in 1942. A total of 865 pieces of this highly successful aircraft were built. The Hs129 was designed as a ground support aircraft and as an aircraft designed to destroy enemy armored vehicles. The overall concept was similar to the Il2M3 or Junkers Ju87G. The aircraft was therefore very heavily armed (20 mm to 75 mm guns) and heavily armored. During the fighting on the Eastern Front, the Hs.129, along with the Ju-87G, was the Luftwaffe's main "anti-tank aircraft," proving very effective. Its only, but significant, drawback was the lack of effective defensive weapons. Three development versions were created, A, B and C, the most important of which were the first two. The A version was powered by two Argus As-410A-0 inline engines of 430 KM each, while the B version used two Gnôme-Rhone 14M radial engines of 700 KM each. The C version never entered mass production. Technical data (Hs129B version): length: 9.75 m, wingspan: 14.2 m, height: 3.25 m, maximum speed: 407 km/h, rate of climb: 8.1 m/s, maximum range: 690 km, maximum ceiling 9000 m armament: fixed - 2 MG131 13 mm machine guns and 2 MG151 / 20 20 mm cannons, suspended - up to 300 kg bombs.

Category Kit

Ho 229A airplane kit in 1/32 scale - Takom model.Horten Ho-229 (designations used are also Horten Ho IX or Gotha Go-229) is a German twin-engine jet fighter-bomber with a flying-wing arrangement from the end of World War II. In cooperation with the Luftwaffe's Sonderkommando 9 experimental center, a design of the Ho-IX fighter plane with a flying-wing system powered by two BMW 003A-1 jet engines was built in 1942. Construction of the V1 and V2 prototypes began early and was completed in 1942. Problems with the BMW engine caused the first Ho-IX V1 prototype to fly as a glider in the summer of that year, without engines and with fixed forward landing Gear. However, the second prototype, the Ho-IX V2, was redesigned and equipped with Jumo 004 B-1 (2x8.5 kN) engines. Flight tests with these engines began in January 1945. The plane reached a speed of about 800 km/h in its first flight, but after 2 hours of testing, a fire in one of the engines caused the prototype to completely crash during the attempted landing. Before then, however, the task of preparing for production was entrusted to the Gothaer Waggonfabrik plant, where construction of prototypes under the name Go-229 V3 to V7 began, as well as preparation for production of the Go-229 A-0 trial series. The first prototype built at the Goth plant (Go-229 V3), equipped with Jumo 004C (2x10kN) engines, was ready for testing, and work on the remaining prototypes (some of them in two-seat night fighters) was seriously advanced when the plants were seized by U.S. troops. Technical data: length: 7.47 m, wingspan: 16.76 m, height: 2.81 m, maximum speed: 977 km/h, rate of climb: 22 m/s, maximum ceiling 16000 m, armament: fixed-4 MK108 guns cal.30 mm Suspended - aloft at 1000 kg bombs.

Ho 229B aircraft kit in 1/32 scale - Takom model. Horten Ho 229B TheHorten Ho 229 B (often abbreviated as Ho 229B) is a proposed version of the revolutionary German Horten Ho 229 jet aircraft, developed toward the end of World War II by the brothers Reimar and Walter Horten. It was an experimental aircraft with a futuristic design, featuring a "flying wing" configuration and jet propulsion, conceived for the Luftwaffe as a high-performance fighter. Technical characteristics (Ho 229B design) Type: Experimental jet fighter-bomber (flying wing) Status: Design version; no fully built prototype Crew: 2 (pilot and armament operator) Length: approximately 7.4 m Wingspan: about 16.76 m Empty weight: about 4,000 kg Maximum takeoff weight: about 8,000 kg Engine and performance Engines: 2 Junkers Jumo 004B-1 turbojets Power: 900 kgf each Expected maximum speed: about 970 km/h Estimated range: about 1,000 km Operational tangency: about 15,000 m Planned armament 2 MK 108 30 mm cannons Possibility of carrying light bombs internally (in the bomber version) Operational role and use Air superiority fighter: to shoot down Allied heavy bombers. Light bomber: capable of hitting strategic targets at high speed, evading enemy anti-aircraft. Stealth missions: through low profile and use of wooden materials and special paints, sought to reduce radar visibility (concepts anticipating stealth technology). Distinctive features Flying wing: absence of classic fuselage and tail; everything integrated into the wing. Jet propulsion: one of the first attempts to create a stealthy jet fighter/bomber. Composite materials: use of wood and resins to compensate for metal shortage and reduce radar signature. Aerodynamic innovation: the design greatly reduced air resistance, increasing speed and efficiency. Conclusion TheHo 229B represented a bold step forward in aircraft design, combining supersonic speeds, radar invisibility concepts, and a flying-wing configuration. However, due to the end of the war, it was never completed. The design remains one of the most fascinating examples of German experimental aviation of World War II, a precursor to modern stealth aircraft such as the B-2 Spirit.

Decorated with the name "Greif " ("Griffon" in German) on its sides, it served as a mobile command center during the North African campaign (1941-1943). This vehicle allowed Rommel to coordinate field operations while maintaining contact with armored units through its powerful radio systems. However, it did not offer much protection, making it vulnerable to enemy attacks. The "Greif" became an icon associated with Rommel's speed and tactical prowess, remaining one of the most recognizable vehicles of World War II.

Caratteristiche tecniche principali: Tipo: Carro armato pesante Produttore: Henschel & Son Anno di produzione: 1944-1945 Peso: 69,8 tonnellate Lunghezza: 10,28 m (con cannone) Larghezza: 3,75 m Altezza: 3,09 m Equipaggio: 5 uomini Corazza: Fino a 185 mm (fronte torretta) Motore e prestazioni: Motore: Maybach HL 230 P30 (V12 a benzina) Potenza: 700 CV Velocità massima: 38 km/h su strada, 17 km/h fuoristrada Autonomia: 170 km su strada, 80 km fuoristrada Nonostante la sua potenza di fuoco e protezione, il King Tiger soffriva di scarsa mobilità, elevati consumi di carburante e problemi meccanici frequenti. Armamento: 1 cannone KwK 43 L/71 da 88 mm (con circa 84 colpi) 2 mitragliatrici MG 34 da 7,92 mm (una coassiale, una sullo scafo) Il cannone da 88 mm era in grado di perforare la maggior parte dei carri alleati da distanze superiori ai 2.000 metri, rendendo il King Tiger un formidabile avversario. Il 505° Battaglione Carri Pesanti (Pz.Abt.505): Il 505° s.Pz.Abt. fu formato nel 1943 e inizialmente equipaggiato con Tiger I. A partire dal luglio 1944, ricevette i King Tiger e combatté principalmente sul fronte orientale, contro l'Armata Rossa. Era noto per i suoi emblemi distintivi, tra cui un elmo da cavaliere medievale (Kürassierhelm) dipinto sui carri. Prese parte alla battaglia di Kursk (con Tiger I) e successivamente alle operazioni difensive in Polonia e Germania. Conclusione: Il King Tiger del Pz.Abt.505 era uno dei carri più potenti della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, ma la sua efficacia era limitata da problemi logistici e meccanici. Nonostante la sua superiorità tecnologica, l'inferiorità numerica e la mancanza di rifornimenti contribuirono alla sconfitta della Germania nel 1945.
