1/35 Tiger Support Vehicle

GLUABLE RUBBER TRACKS OR LINK AND LENGTH TRACKS – DECALS SHEET FOR 1 VERSION – COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET

When the Allied forces captured a modified Tiger I, adapted to serve in a technical and logistical support role for front-line armored troops, they named it ‘Bergetiger’, similarly to how they had designated recovery vehicles based on the Panther and Panzer IV tanks. It was essentially a Tiger I, identical in hull and tracks, and above all in its heavy armor, stripped of its main gun and equipped with a crane suitable for towing other tanks and lifting heavy loads. It was also fitted with spare parts, equipment for repairing other armored vehicles, and reserve ammunition. There are no official production statistics, but it is believed that several ‘Bergetiger’ units were built directly at the front by Wehrmacht field workshops.”

1/35 Pak 97/38 AT Gun with crew

4 FIGURE INCLUDED

The PaK 97/38 was a German anti-tank gun used during World War II. It was developed using the barrel of the famous French 75 mm Mle 1897 gun. Many of these guns were captured after the invasion of France and proved to be a valid, quick, and relatively inexpensive solution to equip German anti-tank troops with a more powerful weapon than the now outdated 37 mm PaK 36, which was no longer capable of penetrating the armor of more modern and robust Soviet tanks such as the KV-1 and the T-34. It could fire a decent variety of ammunition types and was also used by numerous anti-tank units of other Axis countries allied with Germany. Its operational performance was later surpassed by the more modern and up-to-date 75 mm PaK 40.

1/72 Austerlitz 1805 – BATTLE SET
The Battle of Austerlitz represents Napoleon’s greatest success and is considered a masterpiece of military strategy. One of the most famous battles in history, it was fought on December 2, 1805, near the town of Austerlitz, and is also known as the “Battle of the Three Emperors” because it saw the confrontation between Napoleon’s Grande Armée and the allied forces of Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Emperor Francis II of Austria. Following Napoleon’s strategic victory at Ulm, the Battle of Austerlitz marked the decisive moment in the conflicts of the War of the Third Coalition. The battle has taken on a legendary status due to the masterful execution of the Grande Armée’s battle plan, at the height of its effectiveness. Key moments included the defense of the villages of Tellnitz and Sokolnitz—where intense fighting took place around the granary and the castle—and the assault on the Pratzen Heights.

1/72 Mil Mi-24/Mi-35 Hind

FIGURE NOT INCLUDED

The Mil Mi-24 attack helicopter entered service with the Soviet armed forces in the early 1970s. Known for its distinctive and easily recognizable design, it was equipped with a high level of firepower. Its rugged airframe and heavy armor granted the Mi-24 a prominent role within the military forces of Eastern Bloc countries, and it was deployed across numerous operational theaters. Over time, the Mi-24 has undergone continuous upgrades to its weapon systems and onboard avionics. Among the various versions produced, the Mi-24P “Hind-F” was fitted with a powerful fixed twin-barrel 30 mm cannon mounted on the starboard side of the fuselage. The most recent variant is the Mi-35P, which has been in production since 2020.

1/72 JAS-39D Gripen Twin Seater

FIGURES NOT INCLUDED

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen entered service in the second half of the 1990s, representing a significant advancement over its predecessors, such as the long-serving Saab 37 Viggen. The Swedish air superiority and multirole fighter was soon developed in a two-seat version to meet the demands of advanced pilot training. This variant retained essentially the same high performance as the single-seat fighter, while offering greater operational flexibility, enabling it to carry out reconnaissance and ground-attack missions. The aircraft’s innovative aerodynamic design, providing excellent maneuverability, combined with strong flight performance, a maximum speed of Mach 2.0, and the capability to carry a diverse and flexible offensive payload, also contributed to its commercial success outside Sweden.
