1/24 Pagani Huayra Pachetto TempestaPagani Huayra for an Italian sports car first presented to the public in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. Its mass production began in the same year and lasted until 2018. During this period only 100 copies of this supercar were produced. Produckaj was concentrated in the city of Modena in Italy.The design of the Pagani Huayra is largely based on its predecessor, the Zonda. Compared to its predecessor, it does not differ much in styling, but very clearly in the powertrain, namely the centrally positioned 730-hp Mercedes-AMG Twin-Tube V12 engine. Huayra also uses a different gearbox. The performance of the car is fantastic: the top speed is 378 km/h and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 3.3 seconds! In 2017, a limited version of the roadster appeared with a lower kerb weight and an even more powerful engine. The cost of a single Pagani Huayra is estimated at 1.05 million euros.
1/24 Lamborghini Murcielago R-SV 2010The Lamborghini Murcielago is an Italian sports car first introduced to the public in 2001 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Its series production lasted from 2001 to 2010 and resulted in the production of about 4,100 cars of this model. Production was concentrated at a plant in the town of Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.The Murcielago model was developed to replace Lamborghini's Diablo model, and its main designer was Luc Dockerwolke. Compared to its predecessor, the new model received a significantly changed body style, particularly its front end. The interior design of the cabin also changed. The powertrain was still a 12-cylinder, but it generated more maximum power in various variants. Carbon fiber elements were also used on a much larger scale. Several variants of the basic models were made in the course of production, such as: LP 640, LP670 Super Volce or LP650 Roadster. The car, depending on the version, is capable of accelerating up to 342 km/h, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h ranges from 3.2 to 3.8 seconds!

1/700 Water Line Series No. 537 Japanese Naval Planes Includes 9 E15K Shiun "Norm" & 6 E16A Zuiun "Paul" Floatplanes.Very often, the date of birth of naval aviation in the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN for short, Japanese Nippon Kaigun) is March 16, 1923, when Lieutenant Sunishi Kira landed in his plane aboard the aircraft carrier Hosho, which moreover entered service a year earlier (1922). It should be added, however, that during the 1920s many Japanese naval officers saw aircraft carriers as supporters of battleships and battleships, keeping in mind the great success of Admiral Heihachiro Togo at Tsushima in 1905. The technical level of the then Japanese carrier aircraft was also not the highest. However, this state of affairs began to change in the 1930s, among others, due to the later Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who perceived the main weapon in naval warfare in aircraft carriers. He was a strong supporter of the development of Japanese shipboard aviation, which resulted in the construction or modernization of ships such as the Kaga, Akagi, Hiryu, Soryu, and Zuikaku. In addition, Japanese aviation facilities not only caught up with world leaders but also began to set the standards, including the famous Mitsubishi A6M Zeke fighter or the Nakajima B5N Kate torpedo. This intense development led to the fact that by the time the Pacific War broke out, the IJN had 10 aircraft carriers, on which more than 500 airborne machines were based, with well-trained crews. The first months of fighting in the Pacific showed how dangerous this weapon was. It should be remembered, however, that already during that war, the IJN had considerable problems, for example, in replacing the A6M Zeke aircraft on a large scale or introducing a successful B5N line successor, namely the B6N Tenzen torpedo. In addition, the training process for sea pilots proved imperfect and was distanced from the solutions used in the U.S. Navy.

1/350 Japan 4-Mast Bark Kaiwo Maru #3Kaiwo Maru is a Japanese four-masted training ship. She was built in 1989 to replace a 1930 ship of the same name. Her overall length is 110.09 m (110.09 ft), maximum width 13.80 m (45.3 ft) and depth 10.70 m (35.1 ft). Declared tonnage: 2,556. Propulsion is provided by two 4-cylinder marine diesel engines and a total sail area of 2,760 m² (29,700 sq ft). The total power of the engines is 3,000 hp (2,200 kW), enabling the ship to be propelled at a maximum of 14.1 kn (26.1 km/h; 16.2 mph), with a cruising speed of 13 kn (24 km/h; 15 mph). The Kaiwo Maru has a range of 9,800 nmi (18,100 km; 11,300 mi). The four masts are: the foremast, the mainmast, and two mizzen masts. The mainmast is 43.50 m (142.7 ft) 7 ft) high. The crew consists of 199 members.
1/700 Water Line Series No. 546 IJN Gunboat Seta / HiraSet was a Japanese gunboat of the interwar period and World War II. The keel of this ship was laid in April 1922 and the launching took place in June of the same year. The unit probably entered service in 1923. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 54.9 meters and a width of 8.2 meters. The ship's displacement was about 250 tons and the maximum speed did not exceed 15 knots. The deck armament - at the time of launching - consisted of two 80-mm cannons and six 7.7-mm machine guns.Seta was the flagship of the eponymous class of ships, with a total of four gunboats. This class of gunboats was built as part of the Japanese fleet expansion program approved in 1920 and was an almost exact copy of the gunboat Toba, with almost identical size, shipboard armament and external appearance. It was also assumed that the Set gunboats would operate mainly on the rivers and coastal areas of China and Japan. Set's gunboat, from the 1920s, operated in the waters and basins originally established. She also took part in the Japanese-Chinese War of 1937-1945. The gunboat sank as a result of the November 1944 bombardment in Shanghai Harbor. However, the wreckage of the ship was raised from the bottom and, after necessary repairs, she first entered service in the Republic of China Fleet and from 1949 (under the name Min Jiang) served in the PRC Fleet.
1/700 Water Line Series No. 547 IJN Gunboat Katata / HozuKatata was a Japanese river gunboat under which the keel was laid in April 1922, launched in July 1922, and commissioned by the Imperial Japanese Navy in October 1923. The ship's length at the time of launching was 56.1 m, width 8.23 m, and displacement about 340 tons. The Katata gunboat's maximum speed was 16 knots. The main armament at the time of launching was 2 80 mm cannons and 6 7.7 mm machine guns. In 1940 and 1943, the 7.7 mm machine guns were replaced by 13.2 mm machine guns and finally by 25 mm anti-aircraft guns.Katata was the second tallest gunboat in Set. Ships of this type (4 ships in total) were created as specialized units intended for inland navigation. From the beginning it was also assumed that they would have a relatively shallow draft and displacement, while maintaining a fairly strong armament on board - for this class of ships. Of course, this effectively made navigation in open waters impossible, and the seaworthiness of Set's gunboats was low. However, they were suitable for the role for which they were intended. The gunboat Katata was built at the Harima shipyard in the city of Aioi, and later transported in sections to Shanghai and assembled there. The ship sailed on the Yangtze for most of the 1920s. She also took an active part in the Japanese-Chinese War (1937-1945). In December 1944 it was badly damaged by an American air raid, and in April 1945 the gunboat Katata was sunk.
1/350 Cutty SarkThe Cutty Sark is a Scottish clipper with a tonnage of 963 tons, launched on November 22, 1869 at Scott & Linton Shipyards in Dumbarton, Scotland. She sailed the Indies route for the tea and wool trade.She owes her name ("Cutty Sark" means "smock, petticoat" in the Scottish language) to the figurehead that adorns her prow and depicts the semi-dressed witch Nannie, a character from the poem Tam O'Shanter by Scottish poet Robert Burns.Clippers, especially those built in the second half of the 19th century, were perhaps the most beautiful ships ever built and represented the pinnacle of maritime engineering in the "golden age of sails." The best known of them is undoubtedly "Cutty Sark." This sailing ship was built in 1869 at the special request of the famous Scottish shipowner, Captain John Willis, at the Clyde shipyard. The premise of the project was to build a ship capable of defeating the then fastest clipper "Thermopylae," launched only a year earlier. The latest technology and materials of the highest quality were used to achieve the goal. Paradoxically, it was the cost of materials and highly skilled labor that drove the original contractor out of business and the construction had to be completed by another nearby shipyard. When the operation was finally successfully completed, it resulted in the fastest ship at the time, which reached a speed of more than 17 knots thanks to its huge sail area. Of course, such an exaggerated performance was not only intended for propaganda purposes, but also to be used in practice. Cutty Sark's task was to transport tea from China to Britain. Time played an important role here because the faster the fresh crop was delivered to the London market, the higher the price. Each year the voyage from China was a real race and at the same time a torment for the crew, urged mercilessly by the captain, who, hoping to reward money and prestige, tried once again to break the speed record. The good times for clippers ended at the end of the 19th century, when they could no longer cope with competition from modern steam ships. The Cutty Sark met the fate of many other tall ships. In 1895 she was sold to a Portuguese company, where she served for many years as a tramp, and then as a barge without sails. In June 1922, a retired sea dog, Captain Dowman, bought the dilapidated ship and towed it to England. There, after many years of work, the Cutty Sark was restored to her former glory, mainly by installing new sails, although conforming to the originals, and in 1938 the Thames Nautical Training College in Greenhithe was presented with her as a training ship. In 1952 an association was founded to work for the Cutty Sark, and it was on its initiative that five years later the legendary sailing ship finally ended her colorful career and anchored permanently at Greenwich Pier. Technical data: Displacement: 2,100 t, length: 85.1 m, breadth: 10.9 m, draft: 6 m, speed: up to 17.5 knots, crew: 28-35 people.
