Kit StuG III Ausf. G First production with complete interior in 1/35 scale - Border Model.The StuG III (Sturmgeschutz III) was a German armored gun of World War II. The first prototypes of the vehicle were built in 1937 and mass production continued during 1940-1945, ending with the production of about 10,300 vehicles. The StuG III in the E version was powered by a single 300-hp Maybach HL 120 TRM engine. It was armed (E version) with a 75 mm. short-barreled cannon and 1 MG34 7.92 mm. caliber machine gun.The StuG III was created as a result of an initiative undertaken by Erich von Manstein, who in a letter to General Beck in 1935 indicated the need to create assault artillery for the advancing infantry within the Wehrmacht's mechanized units. Eventually, Daimler-Benz was commissioned to design a new vehicle, which in turn used the chassis of the PzKpfw III Ausf. B. Several versions of the StuG III gun were produced during mass production. Chronologically, the first was the A version, armed with the 75 mm Stuk 37 L / 24 gun and based on the chassis of the PzKpfw III Ausf. F and G and produced from the beginning of 1940. Soon after, the B version was created, the first to be produced on a large scale, which differed only slightly from the A version. In 1941, the D version, which had better armor and sights, went into production. The E version was quickly created, which was the first to receive additional armament in the form of an MG34 machine gun. In early 1942, the StuG III underwent a major modification to effectively become a tank destroyer by installing a StuK 40 L / 48 75 mm long-barreled gun. The designation of the car was also changed to StuG 40. In the 1940-1945 period, the StuG III served on almost every front on which the German Army fought. It proved to be a very useful weapon, cheap to produce and, above all, effective. It is estimated that several versions of the StuG were responsible for the destruction of about 20,000 Soviet tanks and armored vehicles in 1941-1945.

Stryker M1130 CV and CV-TACP 1+1 1/35 scale tank kit - Border Model.The Stryker is a modern American wheeled armored car. The first prototypes of the vehicle were built around 2000, and mass production that began in 2002 continues today. As of early 2018, an estimated 4,900 such vehicles had been built. The Stryker is powered by a Bruco C7 engine or 350 hp power. Armament depends on the version of the vehicle, but the basic version (M1126) includes two 7.62 mm machine guns or a Mk.19 grenade launcher and a 7.62 mm machine gun.Concept of vehicle-or actually a series of vehicles-Stryker was born at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, when the U.S. Army command came to the conclusion that in the coming armed conflicts the key element would be speed of action, mobility and the ability to move forces quickly on a strategic scale. It was assumed that the U.S. Army would have the ability to deploy a light infantry brigade (later known as the Stryker Brigade Combat Team) in 96 hours anywhere on the planet. Following these requirements, a completely new armored vehicle called the Stryker was developed, which is characterized by very high mobility, high top speed, is amenable to modernization, but has relatively thin armor not exceeding 15 mm. Many development versions of this vehicle were created in the course of mass production. The basic wheeled armored personnel carrier was designated M1126. A reconnaissance version called M1127 was also created. A tank destroyer, armed with the 105-mm M68A2 gun, designated M1128, was also built. A self-propelled mortar of 81 or 120 mm caliber, designated M1129, was also produced. In addition, based on the basic chassis, a command vehicle (M1130), a fire support vehicle (M1131), an engineering vehicle (M1132), a medical evacuation vehicle (M1133), a self-propelled anti-tank missile launcher (M1134 ), and finally a soil contamination detection vehicle (M1135). At present, Stryker vehicles are used only by the U.S. Army. They took part in the 2003 Iraq War and the Afghanistan intervention.

German Bf109 G-10 fighter aircraft kit in 1/35 scale - Border Model. Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 The Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 is one of the last and fastest variants of the famous German Bf 109 fighter, designed by Willy Messerschmitt and used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. It entered service in late 1944, representing an attempt to rapidly modernize the Bf 109 to counter the increasingly advanced Allied fighters. Technical characteristics Type: Single-engine, propeller-driven fighter Entry into service: Fall 1944 Length: 8.95 m Wingspan: 9.92 m Height: 2.60 m Empty weight: about 2,730 kg Maximum takeoff weight: about 3,400 kg Engine and performance Engine: Daimler-Benz DB 605D Power: about 1,800 hp Top speed: about 690 km/h at 7,000 m Autonomy: about 850 km Operational tangency: 12,500 m Climbing speed: 1,200 m/min Armament 1 MG 151/20 20 mm cannon firing through the propeller hub (100 rounds) 2 MG 131 13-mm machine guns mounted on the engine hood (300 rounds each) Possibility of mounting additional tanks or light bombs Distinctive features High nacelle ("Erla Haube"): an improved drop-cab canopy for superior visibility. More aerodynamic lines: thanks to more curved fairings and modified air intakes. Optional equipment: could be fitted with additional armament packages (Rüstsätze), such as subalar cannons. MW 50 system: a methanol-water injection system was installed in many units to increase engine power temporarily. Operational role and use Air superiority fighter: engaged in defending Germany against strategic bombers and Allied fighters. Interceptor: used to shoot down B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator heavy bombers. Fighter-bomber: also employed in ground attacks in some cases. Conclusion The Bf 109 G-10 was one of the fastest and most powerful Bf 109s ever produced, but it entered service at a time when Allied air superiority was overwhelming. Despite its excellent performance, the operational environment limited its strategic impact. However, it remains one of the most fascinating versions for pilots and historical aviation enthusiasts.

Category Kit

Junkers Ju 87 D5 Stuka airplane kit in 1/35 scale - Border Model. Junkers Ju 87 D-5 Stuka The Junkers Ju 87 D-5, belonging to the "Stuka" (short for Sturzkampfflugzeug, i.e., "dive-bombing aircraft") series, was one of the most advanced variants of the famous German bomber used during World War II. The D-5 model was introduced in 1943 and was an attempt to adapt the Stuka to changing operational requirements. Technical characteristics Type: single-engine dive bomber Entry into service: 1943 Length: 11.10 m Wingspan: 15.00 m Height: 3.90 m Empty weight: 4,320 kg Maximum takeoff weight: 6,500 kg Engine and performance Engine: Junkers Jumo 211J-1, liquid-cooled V12 Power: 1,400 hp Top speed: about 410 km/h at 4,000 m Autonomy: about 715 km Operational tangency: 8,000 m Armament 2 MG 151/20 20 mm cannons in the wings (instead of the previous light machine guns) 2 MG 81Z 7.92 mm machine guns in dual configuration for rear defense War load: up to 1,800 kg of bombs, with a main bomb under the fuselage and smaller bombs under the wings Distinctive features Reinforced wings: to support the new 20 mm cannons and improve robustness during low-altitude missions. Larger fairing wheels: to operate better on less prepared airfields. Removal of classic aerodynamic brakes: the D-5 was no longer optimized exclusively for vertical dive bombing, but more for low-altitude ground attack. Operational role and use Close support to troops: very effective against ground targets such as tanks, convoys, and light fortifications. Tactical bombardment: often employed against tactical targets on the Eastern Front and in Balkan theaters. Reduced dive use: compared to the early Ju 87 models, the D-5 was less focused on the classic 90° dive, adapting more to low-altitude attacks. Conclusion The Junkers Ju 87 D-5 represented one of the last attempts to keep the Stuka operational in a conflict increasingly dominated by modern, fast fighters. Although outdated as a high-intensity bomber, the D-5 still managed to maintain an important direct support function for troops, especially on secondary fronts and in the defensive phases of the war.

A6M2 Zero Fighter aircraft kit with interiors, engine and armament in 1/35 scale - Border Model. Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter The Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter, known simply as the "Zero," was one of the most famous embarked fighters of World War II, designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the Imperial Japanese Navy. It entered service in 1940 and initially revolutionized air warfare in the Pacific due to its outstanding maneuverability and long range. Technical characteristics Type: Single-seat embarked fighter Entry into service: 1940 Length: 9.06 m Wingspan: 12.00 m Height: 3.05 m Empty weight: 1,680 kg Maximum takeoff weight: 2,410 kg Engine and performance Engine: Nakajima Sakae 12, 14-cylinder air-cooled radial Power: 940 hp Top speed: about 533 km/h at 4,500 m Range: about 1,870 km (outstanding for a weather fighter) Operational tangency: 10,000 m Climbing speed: about 900 m/min Armament 2 Type 97 7.7 mm machine guns mounted on the nose 2 Type 99 20-mm cannons mounted in the wings Ability to carry small bombs for light attack missions Operational role and use Air superiority fighter: Excelled in maneuvered combat, dominating the Pacific skies in the early years of the war. Bomber escort: Due to its outstanding range. Light attack: With reduced bomb loads. During the early stages of the war in the Pacific, the Zero proved almost invincible against American and British aircraft, such as the P-40 Warhawk or the F4F Wildcat. However, the lack of pilot protection and lightweight construction became obvious weaknesses with the arrival of new, more robust and armed Allied models, such as the F6F Hellcat and the P-38 Lightning. Conclusion The Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter is considered one of the most iconic fighters of World War II. In the early stages of the conflict it was the symbol of Japanese air supremacy, but in time it was surpassed by the technological developments of the Allies. However, it remains a legend of military aviation because of its agility, range, and historical impact.

Imperial Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato April 7 1945 in 1/350 scale - Border Model. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) battleship Yamato was one of the most impressive and powerful warships ever built. Designed to surpass every other warship of its time, the Yamato embodied the philosophy of Japanese maritime superiority during World War II. On April 7, 1945, during her last mission, Yamato was sunk in a suicide operation against the U.S. fleet, marking a pivotal moment in the Pacific War. Key features Class: Yamato (class leader). Type: Battleship. Construction: Built at the Kure Naval Arsenal. Launching: August 8, 1940. Entry into service: December 16, 1941. Displacement: Fully loaded: about 72,800 tons. Dimensions: Length: 263 meters. Width: 38.9 meters. Draught: 11 meters. Performance Maximum speed: 27 knots (about 50 km/h). Range: Approximately 7,200 nautical miles at 16 knots. Propulsion: 4 steam turbines with a total output of 150,000 hp. Armament The Yamato's armament was designed to destroy any enemy, even at great distances: Main Artillery: 3 × triple turrets with 460 mm/45 Type 94 guns (the largest ever installed on a warship). Range: about 42 km. Secondary artillery: 4 × 155 mm triple turrets. 6 × 127-mm double turrets. Anti-aircraft defense: Numerous 25-mm Type 96 guns and 13-mm machine guns, improved during the course of the war. Armor: Middle band: 410 mm. Main turrets: 650 mm. Bridge: 200 mm. Last Mission - Operation Ten-Go Date: April 7, 1945. Background:Yamato was sent on a suicide operation to counter U.S. forces during the invasion of Okinawa. The orders were to attack enemy forces and run aground to serve as a fixed battery. Escort force: The Yamato was accompanied by a small fleet: 1 light cruiser (Yahagi) and 8 destroyers. Enemy attack: The mission was intercepted by the Allies due to the decrypted code. The Yamato was attacked by more than 400 U.S. aircraft launched from aircraft carriers. Sinking Time of first attack: 12:30 p.m. Time of sinking: 2:23 pm. Details: The Yamato suffered numerous attacks from bombers and torpedo bombers, which inflicted devastating damage. A final large explosion, caused by ammunition fire, destroyed the ship, leaving only a few survivors out of a crew of over 3,000 men. Legacy Yamato represents a symbol of Japanese ambition and determination during World War II. However, her sinking underscored the vulnerability of large warships against modern naval air tactics. She remains one of the most significant examples of the evolution of war strategies in the Pacific. Final Summary Yamato, with her impressive armor and powerful guns, was a masterpiece of naval engineering. Her final mission, however, represented the failure of the big battleships in the face of aeronaval dominance. April 7, 1945 marked not only the end of Yamato, but also the end of an era for large warships.

German Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D w/ R35 Turret half-track kit in 1/35 scale - Border Model. The Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D w/ R35 Turret is a modified version of the famous German half-track Sd.Kfz. 251, equipped with a turret taken from the French Renault R35 tank captured by the Germans during the French campaign in 1940. This adaptation represents an example of how the Wehrmacht reused captured vehicles and components to increase their war capability. Details of the vehicle Original designation: Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 (Sd.Kfz. 251). Type: multipurpose armored half-track. Origin: Nazi Germany. Specific modification: Installation of a Renault R35 light tank turret. Main features of the Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D Original purpose: Armored vehicle for troop transport. Weight: Approximately 7.81 tons. Engine: Maybach HL 42 TUKRM, 6 cylinders, 100 hp. Maximum speed: Road: 52 km/h. Off-road: 20-25 km/h. Range: About 300 km on the road. Carrying capacity: 10 soldiers (including crew). Renault R35 turret The turret mounted on the half-track was taken from the Renault R35 light tank used by the French Army at the beginning of World War II. Main armament: A 37 mm SA 18 cannon designed to engage light vehicles and infantry. Effective range: 300-500 meters against armored targets. Secondary armament: 7.5 mm MAC 31 coaxial machine gun (in some configurations). Function: The turret could provide light anti-tank support capabilities, enhancing the offensive capabilities of the vehicle. Role and Usage. This nonstandard configuration was probably a local or emergency adaptation to enhance the offensive capabilities of the Sd.Kfz. 251 without relying exclusively on new production. Tactical role: Direct infantry support. Engagement of light armored vehicles or enemy fortified positions. Operational context: It is plausible that it was employed in secondary areas or by units that had limited access to modern assets, such as in France or the Balkans. Final Summary The Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D with R35 turret represents an ingenious solution to reuse captured vehicles and improve warfare capabilities. Although it was not a standard vehicle or particularly effective against modern vehicles, it was still useful for infantry support and operations in secondary theaters. This type of modification highlights the Wehrmacht's creativity in maximizing the use of available resources during World War II.

Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H Late tank kit in 1/35 scale - Border Model. The Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H is an improved version of the famous German Panzer IV tank, used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. This version represents one of the final stages of the production line of the Pz.Kpfw. IV, which was used extensively during the conflict, particularly on the Western and Eastern fronts. Main features Hull and turret Basis: The hull of the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H was still based on the same chassis as the Panzer IV, which had shown itself to be a versatile platform for multiple roles during the war. Turret: The turret was rotary mounted and housed the powerful 75 mm cannon. The cannon design was improved to allow for greater firepower. Armament Main cannon: The 75 mm KwK 40 L/48 cannon was mounted on the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H. This cannon was very powerful and capable of penetrating the armor of enemy vehicles, including Allied tanks such as the Sherman and the T-34. Machine gun: There was an MG34 in 7.92 mm caliber positioned on the turret for close defense, useful against infantry or aircraft. Armor Frontal armor: The front armor had been improved over previous models. Thefront armor was 50 mm, and although it was not particularly thick, it was sufficient to withstand hits from lighter tanks. Side and rear armor: The sides and rear had 30 mm protection, which was less strong than the front but still sufficient against small arms and machine gun fire. Engine and mobility Motor: The Maybach HL 120 TRM engine, a 12-cylinder 300-hp engine, enabled the vehicle to reach a top speed of about 40 km/h on the road. Autonomy: The autonomy of the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H was about 200 km, but it depended greatly on the conditions of the terrain and road infrastructure. Heaviness and size Weight: The Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H weighed about 25 tons, which made it relatively mobile compared to other heavier tanks such as the Tiger or Panther. Dimensions: The tank had a length of about 6 meters, a width of 2.88 meters and a height of about 2.68 meters. Operational deployment The Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H was used primarily as a support tank and for frontal engagements. Its versatility and powerful cannon also made it suitable as a support for infantry troops. Theater of operations: The Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H was mainly employed on the Eastern Front (mainly in the Soviet Union) and North Africa, but also in Italy and France during the final stages of the war. Development and production The Ausf. H of the Pz.Kpfw. IV was one of the last variants produced before Germany began to focus on the development of heavier tanks such as the Panther and Tiger. About 3,000 units of the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H were produced, with production continuing until the end of the conflict. Final summary The Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H represents the final evolution of the Panzer IV, with a powerful 75 mm gun, improved armor, and high mobility, which made it suitable for support operations for infantry troops and for combat against enemy armored vehicles. Its versatility and relatively abundant production made it one of the Wehrmacht 's most used and iconic tanks during World War II.
