Kit nave KFK (Kriegsfischkutter) in scala 1/144 - Modello Revell.  La KFK Kriegsfischkutter era una classe di pescherecci armati costruiti durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale per la Marina tedesca (Kriegsmarine). Il nome "Kriegsfischkutter" significa "peschereccio da guerra" e riflette la loro origine come imbarcazioni concepite per sembrare pescherecci civili, pur essendo armate e adattate per vari compiti militari. Costruiti a partire dal 1942, i KFK erano progettati per missioni di pattugliamento, dragaggio di mine, scorta costiera e difesa anti-sottomarino. Caratteristiche principali del KFK Kriegsfischkutter Design e costruzione: I KFK erano basati sul modello tradizionale dei pescherecci nordici, con scafo in legno e una struttura robusta, in modo da risultare versatili e adatti a diversi compiti. Erano lunghi circa 24 metri e avevano un dislocamento di circa 110 tonnellate. Il design semplice e pratico permetteva una costruzione rapida e a basso costo in vari cantieri navali, anche non specializzati in costruzioni militari. Essendo in legno, risultavano difficili da rilevare per i radar, un vantaggio nelle missioni di pattugliamento e per eludere gli attacchi nemici. Motorizzazione e prestazioni: I KFK erano equipaggiati con un motore diesel da circa 220 cavalli, che permetteva una velocità massima di circa 10-12 nodi. La loro autonomia e manovrabilità li rendevano ideali per le operazioni costiere e per missioni di scorta nelle acque del Baltico, del Mare del Nord e del Mediterraneo. Armamento: Nonostante le dimensioni ridotte, i KFK erano armati con mitragliatrici, cannoni antiaerei leggeri e, in alcune versioni, anche con bombe di profondità per operazioni anti-sottomarino. La configurazione armamentaria variava a seconda del ruolo: i modelli utilizzati per la scorta e il dragaggio di mine avevano più armi, mentre quelli usati per compiti di pattugliamento ne avevano meno. Ruolo operativo: Durante la guerra, i KFK vennero impiegati principalmente per la difesa costiera, il pattugliamento, la caccia ai sottomarini e la scorta di convogli. Alcuni furono utilizzati per il trasporto di truppe o rifornimenti in zone di guerra costiere, adattandosi alla logistica militare tedesca in un periodo di carenza di navi da guerra più grandi. Eredità storica: Dopo la fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, molti KFK rimasero in servizio con varie marine, tra cui quella sovietica, e vennero utilizzati anche per scopi civili. Alcuni furono convertiti in pescherecci, altri in piccole imbarcazioni commerciali o mezzi di trasporto. Oggi alcuni KFK sono conservati come navi storiche e simboli della produzione navale militare tedesca durante la guerra. Conclusione La KFK Kriegsfischkutter era una soluzione economica e versatile per soddisfare le esigenze navali della Germania nazista in contesti di pattugliamento e difesa costiera. Il design che simulava i pescherecci comuni e la sua affidabilità la resero un’importante risorsa, utilizzata in vari ruoli anche nel dopoguerra.

U.S.S. Chevalier DD-805 Gearing Class Destroyer 1945 - 1/350 - DRAGON 1046
SKU DRA-1046
Brand DRAGON
Scale: 1/350
Nation: United States of America
Period: WWII
Type: Ships
Category Kit

Destroyer kit U.S.S. Chevalier DD-805 Gearing Class Destroyer 1945 in 1/350 scale - Model Dragon. The USS Chevalier (DD-805) was a Gearing-class destroyer built for the U.S. Navy and launched in 1945, during World War II. The Gearing class was one of the most advanced and powerful classes of destroyers made by the United States during the war, designed for anti-submarine missions, anti-aircraft defense, and attacks against surface ships. Key features of the USS Chevalier (DD-805) Design and construction: USS Chevalier was built at Bath Iron Works shipyards and launched on October 29, 1944, entering service in April 1945. She was part of the Gearing class, an evolution of the Fletcher and Allen M. Sumner class, with improvements in speed performance, range and operational capabilities. The Gearing class was known for its longer length, which allowed for better balance and greater fuel capacity, making these destroyers ideal for high seas operations and long escort missions. Armament: Main guns: USS Chevalier was equipped with six 127 mm (5-inch) guns mounted in twin turrets. These cannons could be used against surface targets, aircraft, or for coastal bombardment. Torpedotubes: She was equipped with 10 533 mm torpedo tubes, capable of launching torpedoes against other warships. Anti-aircraft weapons: To defend against air attacks, it had 40 mm anti-aircraft guns and 20 mm machine guns.

Propulsion and speed: The USS Chevalier was powered by steam turbines with an output of about 60,000 horsepower, which allowed a maximum speed of about 35 knots (65 km/h). Range was one of the strengths of the Gearing class: thanks to its larger tanks, it could travel long distances, ideal for patrol and escort missions in the Pacific Ocean. Operational role: USS Chevalier was commissioned in the last months of World War II, too late to take part in many of the conflict's major operations. However, she was involved in the Pacific War and served during the final phase of the war, including the Okinawa campaign. During the Korean War (1950-1953), USS Chevalier served as part of the U.S. naval forces engaged in coastal bombardment, support to troops ashore, and anti-submarine patrols. Post-war service: After World War II and the Korean War, USS Chevalier continued to serve in the U.S. Fleet during the Cold War. She participated in exercises and patrol missions in the Pacific, helping to maintain the U.S. naval presence in critical areas such as the China Sea and the Sea of Japan. In later years it was modernized to adapt to new operational requirements, such as defense against missiles and emerging submarine threats. Termination of service: After decades of service, USS Chevalier was finally retired and decommissioned in 1972. Later, like many other ships of her class, she was sold and scrapped. Conclusion USS Chevalier (DD-805) was a destroyer of the Gearing class, one of the longest-lived and most versatile classes of destroyers in the U.S. Navy. Although she did not play a central role in World War II, she participated in numerous subsequent conflicts, including the Korean War, and performed crucial missions during the Cold War. Its advanced design and multi-role capabilities made it an important asset of the U.S. fleet for decades.

SKU ZVE-8514
Brand ZVEZDA
Scale: 1/72
Nation: Antica Grecia
Period: V-IV Secolo
Type: Ships
Category Kit

Greek Triera kit 1/72 scale - Zvezda model.Model length 49 cm. The triera was one of the most advanced and powerful warships used in ancient Greece, particularly famous for its use in naval battles between the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The term "triera" comes from the ancient Greek word "trieres," meaning "three rows," referring to the three-tiered arrangement of oarsmen along the sides of the ship. Key features: Structure and dimensions: The triera was a long and narrow ship, with a length of about 37 meters and a width of about 4-6 meters. The ship had a crew of about 170 oarsmen, arranged on three overlapping levels, and about ten soldiers on board, in addition to the helmsman and commander. Propulsion: The main propulsion was provided by the oarsmen, which enabled the ship to reach high speeds. The triera was also equipped with a sail that was used in quieter sailing, but during combat it relied almost exclusively on the oars to maneuver quickly. Armament: The main weapon of the triera was the rostrum, a bronze point mounted on the bow of the ship, designed to ramm and sink enemy ships. In addition to the rostrum, triremes carried a small number of armed soldiers who could fight in battle once in contact with the enemy vessel. Wartime employment: Triremes were crucial to the naval powers of ancient Greece, such as Athens, and were instrumental in some of the most important naval battles in Greek history, such as the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC, where the Greek fleet defeated the Persian fleet. They were used in blockade operations, swift attacks and direct engagements at sea, taking advantage of their maneuverability and speed. Crew: The crew was composed of freemen and citizens, especially in the cases of city-states such as Athens, which based their naval force on a merchant and war navy made up of citizens. Summary: The Greek triera represented the pinnacle of ancient Greek naval technology, designed to be fast, maneuverable, and lethal in combat. Its power came from the combination of the strength of oarsmen and rostrum, and it was essential in the naval wars of antiquity, contributing to the maritime supremacy of powers such as Athens.

Period: XIX Secolo
Type: Ships
Category Kit

Great Western Ship Kit 1/180 - Airfix Set What's inside: Plastic model kit, instruction sheet, paint layout sheet and decals. One of the most significant ships of the 19th century, the ocean steamer Great Western was designed by the famous British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and was his attempt to produce a steam ship capable of making regular steam crossings of the Atlantic without any dependence on wind. energy. Cleverly, however, Brunel incorporated sails into his design, as this stabilized the ship in rough seas and ensured maximum efficiency from the two powerful steam blades. When the Great Western was launched in 1837, not only was she the largest passenger ship in the world, but she was also packed with technologies and innovations that would be used in ship design for many years to come.

CB Class Midget submarine

Nation: Italy
Period: WWII
Scale: 1/72
Type: Submarine
Category Kit

1/72 CB Class Midget submarineThe CB Class Midget Submarine was a type of pocket submarine (or nano submarine) used by the U.S. Navy during World War II. These submarines were also known as the "Coastal Battleground" (CB) or "Coastal Boat" (CB) Class.These submarines were designed to operate in shallow coastal and inshore waters, providing patrol and sabotage capabilities. Their main purpose was to approach enemy targets, such as enemy ships or port installations, stealthily and silently to attack them with explosive charges.CB Class Midget Submarines were small and compact, with a length of about 21 meters and a crew of only 5-6 sailors. They were powered by electric batteries, which made them quiet but limited their submarine operational range.These submarines were often carried and launched from larger submarines or surface ships. Once close to the target, CB Class Midget Submarines used their armament to attack enemy ships or ports. In some cases, submarines were used for reconnaissance and sabotage operations, placing mines or explosive pipelines against ships or port infrastructure.Their use was rather limited and they were not employed in large numbers, but CB Class Midget Submarines proved their effectiveness in some operations during World War II. After the war, they were gradually replaced by other types of more advanced pocket submarines.

SKU TRU-06747
Brand TRUMPETER
Nation: Russia
Period: WWII
Scale: 1/700
Type: Ships
Category Kit

1/700 Soviet Destroyer Taszkient 1942The Tashkent class (officially known as Project 20 ) consisted of a single head destroyer , built in Italy for the Soviet Navy just before World War II . Three others were ordered by the Soviet Union's shipyards, but were cancelled before being fixed because they were too difficult to build with existing technology in Soviet shipyards. Completed in 1939, Tashkent participated in the sieges of Odessa and Sevastopol in 1941-1942, during which she ferried reinforcements and supplies to those cities, evacuated wounded and refugees, and provided naval gun support for Soviet troops. The ship was severely damaged twice by Axis bombers before being sunk in port in mid-1942. Her wreck resurfaced in 1944, but was too badly damaged to be repaired and was scrapped after the war.

Brand FLYHAWK
Nation: United States of America
Period: Modern
Scale: 1/700
Type: Ships
Category Kit

1/700 Missile Destroyer USS Zumwalt DDG-1000 Full HullThe Zumwalt class is a class of destroyer of the United States Navy, the outfitting of which began with the first example in October 2008 at Bath Iron Works shipyards.The class leader was dedicated to Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, an important figure in the US Navy of the 1960s and 1970s as chief of naval operations and author of a major reform of naval personnel.Initially planned in 32 examples, these due to implementation problems and cost escalation were reduced first to 10 then to 3, and the program is considered at risk by the U.S. Navy under the 2010 Nunn-McCurdy amendment on defense cost cuts. The project contemplates a highly pushed stealth hull design, state-of-the-art electronics, two vertical multiarm launchers totaling 256 missiles, two 155mm automatic guns and two 57mm CIWS systems for point defense. The design also envisions the installation of induction cannons (railguns) when this technology matures.For the first time since the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, a naval ship resumes its form with a spur prow, this time not as an offensive weapon but to decrease radar signatures and "open" waves rather than ride them.
