World War II German V1 missile launch position kit in 1/72 scale - Modelcollect. The V1 missile launch position was a fixed structure used by Nazi Germany during World War II to launch V1 cruise missiles, also known as "flying bombs." These bases were mainly located in northern France and the Netherlands and were intended to strike enemy cities, particularly London and other areas in southern England. Launch location characteristics: Inclined launch ramp about 48 meters long, precisely oriented toward the target. Steam or aircatapult launch system (with the rocket mounted on a cart). Bunkers and shelters to protect ammunition, personnel, and sensitive materials. Warehouses and maintenance facilities for resupply and preparation of V1s. Operation: The V1 was placed on the ramp. The pulse engine was turned on. The missile was launched by means of a catapult, accelerating to the speed necessary to maintain flight. After takeoff, the V1 would fly toward the target following a preset course by a simple gyroscopic system. Historical context: The first launch positions began operating in June 1944. They were often camouflaged to avoid detection by Allied aircraft. However, many were destroyed by bombing before they were completed or while in use, thanks to Allied reconnaissance missions and targeted attacks. In summary, the V1 launch positions were an integral part of the German strategy to strike England from a distance, introducing one of the earliest forms of long-range automatic missiles in military history.
Kit IJA Tank Destroyer Ho-Ri 2 Field modified with IJN Type 10 120mm AA gun (Fist of War) 1/35 scale - Model Modelcollect. The IJA Tank Destroyer Ho-Ri 2 field modified with IJN Type 10 120mm AA gun (Fist of War) is a fictional military vehicle belonging to the "Fist of War" alternate universe , a line of uchronic (i.e., based on an alternate history) modeling and fiction in which World War II continues beyond 1945 with experimental technologies. Description: Full name: Field-modified Ho-Ri 2 with 120 mm Type 10 anti-aircraft gun of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Type: Heavy tank destroyer (tank destroyer). Origin: Japanese Empire (in this alternate scenario). Universe: Fist of War (fantasy/what-if military). Hypothetical features: Based onthe Ho-Ri 2, an unrealized real-life Japanese heavy fighter project, inspired by the German Jagdtiger. In this uchronic version, the vehicle is modified in the field with the installation of a 120 mm Type 10 naval gun, usually used for anti-aircraft. The weapon is mounted in a fixed casemate, making it similar to German tank destroyers such as the Ferdinand or Jagdpanther. Probable high firepower, but limited mobility and bulky silhouette. Purpose in the "Fist of War" context: In this fictional universe, Japan desperately tries to counter advanced Allied tanks, such as the M26 Pershing or Soviet prototypes, using hybrid or improvised solutions. This vehicle represents an extreme measure of field adaptation by combining Army and Navy resources. Trivia: The vehicle never existed historically; it is an artistic and model creation, often depicted in dioramas or scale kits. It is part of a larger imagery in which advanced technologies (jets, mecha, supertanks) change the course of warfare. In summary, the Ho-Ri 2 with 120 mm Type 10 is a Japanese "what-if" fighter tank, an imaginative reinterpretation of wartime history designed for alternative modeling enthusiasts and hypothetical scenarios.
IJA Tank Destroyer Ho-Ri 2 with 12cm gun (Fist of War) kit in 1/35 scale - Model Modelcollect. The IJA Tank Destroyer Ho-Ri 2 with 12cm gun (Fist of War) is a fictional vehicle belonging to the uchronic "Fist of War" universe, which reinterprets World War II with advanced technologies and experimental designs taken beyond historical reality. Description: Full name: Ho-Ri 2 with 120 mm cannon Type: heavy tank destroyer (tank destroyer) Origin: Japanese Empire (in the alternate universe "Fist of War") Category: "what-if" medium, not really existing Historical-fantastic context: The Ho-Ri 2 was a Japanese design actually conceived toward the end of the war as a heavy fighter, inspired by German models such as the Jagdtiger. In the "Fist of War" line, this vehicle is reinterpreted with extreme modifications, such as the adoption of a 120-mm cannon, usually used in naval or anti-aircraft. Features (hypothetical): Main armament: 120 mm Type 10 cannon (naval model repurposed for land use) Structure: Fixed (not rotating) casemate, similar to that of other German heavy fighters Role: Long-range destruction of heavy tanks and fortifications Mobility: Limited, due to large tonnage and weight of armament Crew: Probably 5-6 men Purpose in Fist of War: The vehicle represents Japan's desperate, high-powered response to highly advanced Allied tanks such as theM26 Pershing or Soviet prototypes, exploiting naval technologies repurposed for land use. Trivia: This vehicle did not exist in reality, but it is a popular subject in what-if modeling, often offered in kit form. "Fist of War" is a popular line among fans of alternate history and fictional war vehicles. In summary, the Ho-Ri 2 with 12cm gun is a hypothetical Japanese heavy fighter-tanker designed for an alternate scenario in which Japan develops extreme weapons to prosecute the war with hybrid and unconventional technologies.
Horten H.XVIIIA very long-range tactical bomber kit in 1/72 scale - Modelcollect. TheHorten H.XVIIIA was an experimental German ultra-long-range tactical bomber design developed in the last years of World War II by the Horten brothers, pioneers of"flying-wing" aerodynamics. Main features: Type: Very long-range jet bomber Configuration: Flying wing, no tail Engine (planned): Jet Junkers Jumo 004 or similar Intended Role: Long-range strategic attacks, including the ability to strike targets in the United States (as part of the "Amerika Bomber" plan) Historical Context: The H.XVIIIA project was part of studies conducted by the Luftwaffe and the Reichsluftfahrtministerium to develop an aircraft capable of crossing the Atlantic, dropping bombs on strategic targets and returning. The "flying wing" design offered reduced drag and potentially lower radar detectability, anticipating concepts now associated with stealth aircraft. Design Status: The H.XVIIIA was never built. It remained at the level of conceptual study and preliminary drawings due to Germany's industrial difficulties in the final phase of the war. However, the Horten brothers' designs later inspired developments in aircraft design, as in the case of the modern American B-2 Spirit. In summary, the Horten H.XVIIIA is a visionary example of German aeronautical engineering during WWII: a jet bomber with a radical and futuristic shape, designed for intercontinental missions, but never realized.
