IJN Battleship Yamato Ship Kit - Parralel World Yamato 1965 1/350 scale - Border Model.The Yamato was a Japanese battleship laid under keel in 1937, launched in August 1940 and commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy in December 1941. The ship's total length was 263 meters, width 38.9 meters and total displacement 65,000 tons. The maximum speed of the battleship Yamato was about 27-28 knots. The main armament at the time of launching was 9 460 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 12 152 mm guns.The Yamato was the first battleship of the type with the same name, namely Yamato. The genesis of this type of battleship dates back to the early 1930s, when the Japanese Navy command, hoping that the Treaty of Washington would expire soon (as of 1922) and preparing for war in the Pacific, decided to create the most powerful and best battleship in history, which would outclass their counterparts in the U.S. Navy or the Royal Navy and keep its construction completely secret. Consequently, when it entered service in 1941, the Yamato was the most powerful battleship (the 460 mm gun had a range of 42,000 meters!) and was the best battleship of its kind in the world! So the Imperial Navy's assumptions were fully realized! Yamato became the flagship of the entire Japanese Navy in 1942. It was from her deck that Isoroku Yamamoto ordered the defeat of Japan at the Battle of Midway (June 1942). Yamato spent the years 1943-1944 in Japanese mother waters, taking a limited part in the fighting in the Pacific. In June 1944 she took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, but her role was marginal. She also fought in the Battle of Leyte in October 1944. Yamato's last combat mission was her suicide voyage against U.S. forces landing at Okinawa (Operation Ten-Go)-after being hit by at least 11 torpedoes and 8 bombs, this largest battleship in history sank on April 7, 1945.Yamato spent the years 1943-1944 in Japanese mother waters, taking a limited part in the fighting in the Pacific.

World War II German Heinkel He-111 H-6 Bomber Kit 1/35 Scale - Border Model.The Heinkel He-111 is a German, twin-engine, metal, semi-shell, low-wing bomber of World War II. The prototype flight took place on November 17, 1934. Three prototypes were made for the Luftwaffe during 1934-1935, marked V1, V2 and V3, the last of which became the basis for the creation of a pre-production batch (He-111A-0), but proved to fail due to too weak engines. This led to further research and experimentation with other engines, which eventually led to the development of the He-111H, which was produced on a large scale from 1940 onward. Two Junkers Jumo 211 engines of 1100 hp each (from the H-3 version) were used as power units. It was this version that was used on a large scale during the Battle of Britain in 1940.During World War II, a dozen versions of the He-111 were created, and each had its own modernizations. The most important, apart from the aforementioned "H," which also served as an aerosol torpedo bomber (He-111H-6) and, for example, as a target-marking aircraft for other bombers (He-111 H-18), is the " P" version using two Daimler-Benz DB 601A-1 engines and used min. during the September campaign. On the other hand, the most original version is the He-111Z "Zwilling" (German: twins), which is an example of an unusual "combination" of two He111 bombers. The task of this unusual machine was to tow a giant Me 321 glider or three Go-242 gliders. A version of the He-111Z2 also appeared,which was supposed to carry four Henschel Hs-293 missiles, but was not used in combat. A total of about 6,500 all versions of the He-111 were produced. Technical data (He-111H-6 version): length: 16.4 m, wingspan: 22.6 m, height: 4 m, maximum speed: 440 km/h, rate of climb: 4.3 m/s, maximum range: 2300 km, maximum ceiling 6500 m, armament: 7.92 mm MG15 or MG81 machine guns, one 20 mm MG FF gun and one 13 mm MG131 gun, suspended - up to 2000 kg of bombs. armament: 7.92 mm MG15 or MG81 machine guns, one 20 mm MG FF cannon and one 13 mm MG131 cannon, suspended - up to 2000 kg of bombs. armament: 7.92 mm MG15 or MG81 machine guns, one 20 mm MG FF cannon and one 13 mm MG131 cannon, suspended - up to 2000 kg of bombs.

German Bomber Pilots Figurines for He 111 - Ground Conditions (5 figures) 1/35 scale - Border Model.The Luftwaffe is a German air force that began forming in February 1935 under a special order from the Nazi dictator of Germany - Adolf Hitler. The commander of the Luftwaffe - from its inception until the end of World War II - was Herman Göring. The quantitative development of German aviation in the period 1935-1939 was rapid, and at that time it was equipped with machines that in fact served until the end of the war, including the Me-109 fighter, Ju-87 Stukas dive bombers or medium bombers such as the He-111 or Ju-88. Some German pilots also gained combat experience while serving as part of the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). In addition, even before the war,the Luftwaffe was oriented in such a way that it could support ground force operations as effectively as possible. This was reflected in its equipment, structure and organization, as well as in the training of its pilots. German aviation emerged successfully from the campaigns in Poland, Norway, and France, with the Luftwaffe suffering relatively heavy losses in the latter campaign, both in aircraft and personnel. On the other hand, a very painful lesson was the Battle of Britain, during which it had a decisive defeat, losing many more aircraft, and especially well-trained pilots, than the enemy. It may be added, by the way, that Adolf Galland was one of the Luftwaffe's best fighter pilots during this battle. In the course of the fighting on the Eastern Front (1941-1945),the German Air Force, especially at the beginning of the conflict, dominated the quality of aircraft and the training of crews and pilots, which resulted in horrendous losses of the Soviet Air Force and led to even fantastic results in shooting down German fighter aces, such as Hermann Graf or Walter Nowotny. However, in the years 1942-1943 the balance of victory in the air war over Europe began to tilt toward the Soviet and - above all - Allied aviation, which, thanks to machines such as the latest versions of the Spitfire or the P- 51 Mustang, caused more and more losses to the German Luftwaffe, even in the course of fighting over Germany and in the course of strategic bombing.The Luftwaffe's efforts to make a quantum leap by introducing jet-powered machines such as the Me-262 or Ar-234 into the line in 1944-1945 also brought no effect, and the less and less trained German pilots suffered increasing losses in the clash with Allied machines. It is assumed that from the beginning of the war to January 1945, Luftwaffe personnel losses amounted to about 140,000. people killed and about 155,000. people missing.

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.

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.
