It was numerically the most important US tank destroyer of WW2 and combined a reasonably potent anti-tank weapon with a turreted platform. Despite the introduction of more-powerful types as replacements, it remained in service until the end of the war. A total of 6,706 were built between 1942 \u0026amp; 1943.\u003cbr\u003eThe British converted some M10s to use their successful 17-pounder (76 mm) anti-tank gun, which they designated as “\u003cstrong\u003e17pdr SP Achilles\u003c\/strong\u003e”. The turret needed modification to take the longer gun. The 17-pounder was of a similar bore, but longer and using a larger propellant charge had far superior armour penetration capability. It was used by the British, Canadian, and Polish armies in Italy and northwest Europe. About 1,110 were built.\u003cbr\u003eThe M36 Tank Destroyer (nickname “\u003cstrong\u003eJackson\u003c\/strong\u003e”) was essentially an up-gunned M10 tank destroyer, replacing the former’s 3 inch (76.2mm) M7 Gun with a powerful 90mm gun. The M36 first served in combat in Europe in September 1944, where it proved to be a match for any of the tanks being fielded by the Germans. About 1,400 M36s were produced during the war. The need for 90 mm gunned tank destroyers was so urgent that, during October to December 1944, 187 conversions of standard M4A3 hulls were produced; these vehicles, designated M36B1, were rushed to the European Theatre of Operations and used in combat alongside standard M36s.\u003cbr\u003eThe M36 also saw use in the Korean War, able to defeat any of the Soviet tanks used in that conflict. Some were supplied to the Koreans as part of the Military Assistance Program and served for years, as did retrofit examples found in Yugoslavia, which operated into the 1990s.

The main improvements were a revised hull with larger hatches, redesigned ammunition stowage to reduce the likelihood of the tank burning when penetrated, and a simplified glacis angled at 47 degrees. In addition to the standard 75mm gun-armed version, a version armed with a 76mm gun was also built. Designated M4A3(76mm)W (“W” = wet stowage), this utilised a larger turret originally intended for the aborted T23 medium tank. The M1A1 76mm gun was rushed into service in July 1944 because the 75mm gun was found to be inadequate against the latest German tanks, but its anti-tank performance proved to be mediocre (at least until an HVAP projectile became available in 1945).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe M4A3(76mm)W began to enter service in September 1944. 1,400 were built. Early production vehicles had a round loader’s hatch and (due to production delays) lacked a muzzle brake. Later vehicles had an oval loader’s hatch and a muzzle brake. The harsh weather conditions in late 1944 revealed the shortcomings of the Sherman’s narrow (16.5 inch) tracks, and as a stop-gap solution extended end-connectors (known as “duckbills”) were fitted to improve flotation in muddy terrain. In the meantime, a horizontal volute suspension system (HVSS) with wider (23 inch) tracks had been developed, with greatly enhanced cross-country performance. Usually known as the M4A3E8 (although this was not its official designation), 3,142 of this final version of the Sherman were built.

Soon to become the ubiquitous, “world-famous” jeep, the Willys MB and Ford GPW models were very effective on the ground, with many standardized features such as 6.00x16 tires, 60 horsepower at 4,000 rpm, a gasoline can bracket on the left rear, provisions for trailer lights, spark interference suppression, a blackout light system, twin top bows and sealed spring shackles. During WW2, Ford produced some 280,000 of these vehicles. A total of 361,339 (between Nov 18, 41 and Sep 21, 45) were built.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKit Highlights:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Single 1\/56 (28mm) scale plastic sprue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Foldable windshield with canvas wrap option\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Optional tarpaulin canvas top\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Include Browning M1919 \u0026amp; M2 MG options\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Four US Infantrymen figures included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Parts: 69 pieces \/ 1 sprue + 2 multi-slide parts + 2 figure sprues\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlastic kit, supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43047250133162,"sku":"RU-280049","price":45.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/rubicon-models-us-willys-mb-14-ton-4x4-jeep-gap-games.jpg?v=1775032604"},{"product_id":"copy-of-rubicon-models-us-willys-mb-1-4-ton-4x4-jeep","title":"Rubicon Models - M4A2 Sherman \/ Sherman MK III Medium Tank","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRubicon Models - M4A2 Sherman\/Sherman III\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe M4A2 Sherman used a welded hull nearly identical to the M4, but with a pair of vented armoured grates on the rear hull deck.

Based on the criteria of firepower, mobility, and protection, US historian R P Hunnicutt ranked the Pershing behind the German Tiger II heavy tank, but ahead of the Tiger I heavy and Panther medium tanks. It was withdrawn in 1951 in favor of its improved derivative, the M46 Patton, which had a more powerful and reliable engine and advanced suspension. The lineage of the M26 continued with the M47 Patton, and was reflected in the new designs of the later M48 Patton and M60 Patton.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe M26 was the culmination of a series of medium tank prototypes that began with the T20 in 1942, and it was a significant design departure from the previous line of US Army tanks that had ended with the M4 Sherman. Several design features were tested in the prototypes. Some of these were experimental dead-ends, but many become permanent characteristics of subsequent US Army tanks. The prototype series began as a medium tank upgrade of the M4 Sherman and ended as the US Army’s first operational “heavy” tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe first combat experience showed that the M26 still fell short on firepower and protection when facing the formidable German Tiger II. Because of this, experiments were carried out with the longer and more powerful 90mm T15 gun. The first vehicle, based on the first T26E1-1 vehicle, was shipped to Europe, where it was up-armoured and saw limited combat, being now commonly known as the “Super Pershing”. Another T26E4 prototype and 25 “serial” vehicles followed, with slight differences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe M26A1 came into production after the war and most Pershing in service were upgraded to this standard.

The designation “85” signifies the bore of the vehicle’s armament, the 85mm D-5S gun. The SU-85 entered production in mid-1943, with the first vehicles reaching their units by August. When the up-gunned T-34\/85 medium tank entered mass production in the spring of 1944, there was no point in continuing production of a tank destroyer without superior firepower, so SU-85 production was stopped in late 1944 after 2,050 vehicles had been produced.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis kit contains;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Options to build either a SU-122 or SU-85\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Open hatches \u0026amp; elevating gun\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Optional fuel cans\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNumber of Parts: 59 pieces \/ 3 sprues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePease note: this kit contains ONE vehicle that can be built as either the SU-85 or SU-122\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43049900146858,"sku":"RU-280034","price":55.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/rubicon-models-su-85-or-su-122-self-propelled-gun-gap-games-1.jpg?v=1775032797"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-bm-13-katyusha-multiple-rocket-launcher","title":"Rubicon Models - BM-13 Katyusha Multiple Rocket Launchers","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-section col-12 col-xl-9 col-main\" id=\"shopify-section-product-template-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-collections-related=\"\/collections\/?view=related\" data-enable-history-state=\"true\" id=\"ProductSection-product-template-default\" data-section-type=\"product\" data-section-id=\"product-template-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product product-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabs__product-page horizontal-tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eThe BM series of multiple rocket launchers was employed by the Soviet Union in World War II.

Katyusha batteries were often massed in very large numbers, with devastating effect. The distinctive howl of the rockets added to the psychological impact of the weapon.

It was known as “Studer” to the Soviet troops, and was used for transporting troops and supplies and (due to its off-road capability) as a gun tractor.

The basic BA-10 design was developed from the BA-3 and BA-6 heavy armored cars. It had an improved GAZ-AAA chassis and improved armor. Like its predecessors, the BA-10 could be converted to a half-track by fitting auxiliary tracks to the rear pair of dual tandem wheels. These tracks were often fitted when the vehicle needed to move across snow or soft ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BA-10 first saw action against the Japanese in Manchuria at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939. Some were captured and later used by the Manchukuo. It was involved in all the Soviet Union’s subsequent military operations and campaigns of 1939-1940. During World War II the BA-10 was used against the Germans on the Eastern Front, but was rarely seen after the winter of 1941–42. Later in the war the heavy scouting role was taken over by light tanks such as the T-60 and T-70. A few BA-10s were seen as late as 1943 on the Leningrad front. Large numbers of captured BA-10s were used by Axis powers in Europe. In May 1945 a few BA-10s of ROA fought alongside the defenders of the Prague uprising.

The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to Tiger. It was an answer to the unexpectedly impressive Soviet armour encountered in the initial months of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, particularly the T-34 and the KV-1. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first tank mounting the 88mm gun in its first armoured fighting vehicle-dedicated version: the KwK 36. During the course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all German battlefronts.\u003cbr\u003eWhile the Tiger I was feared by many of its opponents, it was over-engineered, using expensive materials and labour intensive production methods. Only 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. The Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and immobilizations, and limited in range by its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to maintain, but generally mechanically reliable. It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilization when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved road wheels in winter weather conditions, often jamming them solid. In 1944, production was phased out in favour of the Tiger II.\u003cbr\u003eWith this kit, you can build all three (early, mid, and late war) versions of the Tiger I tank. It comes with three turret tops, optional Feifel air cleaners, and two different sets of road wheels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 68 pieces \/ 4 sprues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: Model supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075860365482,"sku":"RUG280016","price":55.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/rubicon-models-tiger-i-ausf-e-gap-games.jpg?v=1775033160"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-sdkfz-251-ausf-d-3-in-1","title":"Rubicon Models - SdKfz 251\/1 Ausf D AFV 3-IN-1 Set","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-product-template-default\" class=\"shopify-section col-12 col-xl-9 col-main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-section-id=\"product-template-default\" data-section-type=\"product\" id=\"ProductSection-product-template-default\" data-enable-history-state=\"true\" data-collections-related=\"\/collections\/?view=related\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product product-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabs__product-page horizontal-tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe SdKfz 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was an armored fighting vehicle designed and first built by the Hanomag Company during World War II. Used by the Wehrmacht, the SdKfz 251 was designed to transport the panzergrenadiers of the German mechanized infantry corps into battle. SdKfz 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by various manufacturers, and were commonly referred to simply as “Hanomags” by both German and Allied soldiers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere were four main model modifications (Ausführung A through D), which formed the basis for at least 22 variants. The initial idea was for a vehicle that could be used to transport a single squad of panzergrenadiers to the battlefield protected from enemy small arms fire, and with some protection from artillery fire. In addition, the standard mounting of at least one MG34 or MG42 machine gun allowed the vehicle to provide support by fire for the infantry squad once they had disembarked in battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVariants were produced for specialized purposes, including with anti-aircraft guns, light howitzers, anti-tank guns and mortars or even large unguided artillery rockets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom early 1943, the D model was developed with the purpose of halving the number of angled body plates, simplifying the design and thus speeding up the production.

Although spin stabilized, the rockets were not as accurate as conventional artillery and reloading was time consuming due to the rocket’s weight.

It was intended to be more cost-effective than the much more ambitious Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger designs of the same period. Using a proven chassis, it avoided the mechanical problems of the larger armoured vehicles.\u003cbr\u003eIt was better armoured than the thinly armoured earlier Panzerjäger Marder and Nashorn with a sloped armour front plate of 60 mm sloped back at 60 degrees from the vertical (equivalent in protection to about 120 mm), carried a reasonably powerful 75mm gun, was mechanically reliable, small and easily concealed. It was also cheap to build. The Jagdpanzer 38(t) succeeded the open-top Marder III (based on the same chassis) in production from April 1944; about 2,584 were built until the end of the war.\u003cbr\u003eThe Jagdpanzer 38(t) fit into the lighter category of German tank destroyers that began with the Panzerjäger I, continued with the Marder series and ended with the Jagdpanzer 38(t). The 75 mm PaK 39 L\/48 gun of the Jagdpanzer 38(t) was a modified version of the 75 mm StuK 40 L\/48 used in the StuG III and StuG IV assault guns. With this gun the Jagdpanzer 38(t) was able to destroy nearly all Allied or Soviet tank types in service at long ranges (except heavy tanks) and its fully enclosed armour protection made it a safer vehicle to crew than the open-topped Marder II or Marder III series.\u003cbr\u003eThe Jagdpanzer 38(t) was one of the most common late-war German tank destroyers. It was available in relatively large numbers and was generally mechanically reliable.

It was the main anti-tank weapon of Wehrmacht infantry units until mid-1941.\u003cbr\u003eDuring the May 1940 Western Campaign, the PaK 36, being a relatively small-calibre weapon, was found to be inadequate against heavy Allied tanks. Still, the gun was effective against the most common light tanks of the era.\u003cbr\u003eThe addition of tungsten-core shells (Pzgr 40) slightly improved the armour penetration of the PaK 36, enabling it to finally damage the T-34, but only via a direct shot to the rear or side armour from point-blank range. Despite its continued impotence against the T-34, it remained the standard anti-tank weapon for many units until 1942. The advantages of the PaK 36 were its; relative ease of handling and mobility (it could be brought into action very rapidly by as few as two men since it weighed only 432 kg); good quality optics\/aiming devices; ease of concealment due to its small size; and high rate of fire.\u003cbr\u003eThe PaK 36 began to be replaced by the new 5cm PaK 38 in mid-1941. As it was gradually replaced, many were removed from their carriages and added to SdKfz 251 halftracks for use as light anti-armour support. The PaK 36 also served with the armies of Italy, Finland, Hungary, and Slovakia.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the PaK 36 quickly became ineffectual in the European and Russian theatres, in China the gun was still viable as an effective anti-tank gun. It could destroy the Japanese tanks, since their armour protection was quite weak. For example, during the Battle of Tai'erzhuang, Chinese PaK 36s destroyed a good number of Japanese tanks.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1943, the introduction of the Stielgranate 41 shaped charge meant that the PaK 36 could now penetrate most armour, although the low velocity of the projectile limited its range. The PaK 36s, together with the new shaped charges, was issued to Fallschirmjäger units and other lightly equipped troops. The gun's low weight meant that it could be easily moved by hand, and this mobility made it ideal for their purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Includes\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x standalone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x vehicle-mounted\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaK 36\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Includes both full \u0026amp; half shields plus mounting plates for all SdKfz 250\/251 variants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Front lower armour plate in operating or transport mode\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Movable trails \u0026amp; rotating gun\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Includes Stielgranate 41 shaped charge\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- Includes shells and ammo boxes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e- 5 gun crew in early war uniform included\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNumber of Parts:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 pieces \/ 1 sprue + 2 figure sprues\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075925246122,"sku":"RUG280057","price":40.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/280057_PaK_36_AT_Gun_with_Crew_170922-1_2048x2048_dcf72b06-4257-4485-950c-86dc8ecc7cfc.jpg?v=1761044937"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-german-pak-38-pak-97-38-anti-tank-gun-crew","title":"Rubicon Models - German Pak 38\/PaK 97\/38 Anti Tank Gun + Crew","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRubicon Models - German Pak 38\/PaK 97\/38 Anti Tank Gun + Crew\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Options to build either a PaK 38 or PaK 97\/38\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Front lower armour plate in operating or transport mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Movable trails \u0026amp; rotating gun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Includes shells and ammo boxes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- 5 gun crew in mid-war uniform included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 sprue + 2 figure sprues, assembly required.

When the Germans faced Soviet tanks in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa, the PaK 38 was one of the few early guns capable of penetrating the 45mm (1.8 in) armour of the T-34. The gun was also equipped with Panzergranate 40 APCR shots with a hard tungsten core, in an attempt to penetrate the armour of the heavier KV-1 tank.

The thick sloped armour of these vehicles gave them invulnerability against German towed 3.7cm PaK 36 anti-tank guns.

It was decided to solve the traverse and mobility problems by mounting the 7.5cm barrel on the modern split trail carriage of the 5cm PaK 38 anti-tank gun. To soften the recoil, the barrel was fitted with a large Swiss Solothurn muzzle brake.

Based heavily on the Volkswagen Beetle, it was prototyped as the Type 62, but eventually became known internally as the Type 82.\u003cbr\u003eKübelwagen is an abbreviation of Kübelsitzwagen, meaning “bucket-seat car” because all German light military vehicles that had no doors were fitted with bucket seats to prevent passengers from falling out. The first VW test vehicles had no doors and were therefore fitted with bucket seats, so acquiring the name VW Kübelsitzwagen that was later shortened to Kübelwagen. Mercedes, Opel and Tatra also built Kübel(sitz)wagens.\u003cbr\u003eThe Kübelwagen is really simple in design. With a two-wheel-drive configuration, it could easily cope with snow, ice and mud (to some extent); the vehicle surprised even those in charge of the development. In some test, it showed even superior handling characteristics than some 4x4s. This was due to a combination of a lightweight chassis and smooth, flat underbody which “surfed” on soft surfaces just like a motorized sled, allowing it to follow tracked vehicles without much trouble. It was propelled by a rear-mounted air-cooled flat-4, 985cc FMCV-1 engine, linked to a 4-speed manual transmission with a self-locking differential. With its air-cooled configuration, it was dispensed a radiator and therefore proved less sensitive to bullets, while being also highly tolerant of climates extremes. For starting in winter, a volatile fuel was required, stored in a small auxiliary fuel tank.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Volkswagen production ceased at the end of the war, 50,435 Kübelwagen vehicles had been produced, and the vehicle had proven itself to be surprisingly useful, reliable, and durable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003cbr\u003e- 2 types of tyres for both North African and European Campaigns\u003cbr\u003e- Two headlight options included\u003cbr\u003e- Optional fold-down windshield with canvas cover\u003cbr\u003e- Extra door parts for open door conversion included\u003cbr\u003e- Driver with 2 head options included\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075942842538,"sku":"RU-280072","price":38.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/rubicon-models-kubelwagen-type-82-gap-games.jpg?v=1775033187"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-jagdpanther-g1-g2","title":"Rubicon Models -Jagdpanther G1 \/ G2 Tank Destroyer","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJagdpanther G1 \/ G2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank Destroyer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe SdKfz 173\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJagdpanther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“hunting panther” was a tank destroyer built by the German army during World War II based on the chassis of the Panther tank.

During the early summer of 1944 SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Wilhelm Krause with the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend came up with the concept of the Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind. He presented the concept to SS-Obersturmbannführer Max Wünsche, commanding officer of the 12th SS Panzer Regiment and it was approved by Adolf Hitler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Panzer IV’s turret was removed and replaced with an open-top nine-sided turret that housed a quad-barrel 2cm Flakvierling 38. A closed-top design would have been preferable, but this was not possible due to the heavy smoke generated by the four anti-aircraft guns. The shape of the turret earned it the nickname Keksdose (“Biscuit Tin”). Production of the tank was carried out by Ostbau Werke in Sagan, Silesia. However in combat the 2cm shells were felt to be insufficiently effective against aircraft and so a more powerful successor was produced which eventually replaced it. Known as the Flakpanzer IV “Ostwind” (East Wind), the successor was equipped with a single 3.7cm Flak 43.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of armor and rapid fire from the four guns of the Wirbelwind made it very effective against lightly armoured ground targets such as trucks and armored cars; infantry were particularly vulnerable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween 87 and 105 Wirbelwinds were converted from repaired Panzer IV chassis, but due to discrepancies between the recorded production numbers at Ostbau Werke and Wehrmacht service records, the exact number may never be known.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Two fixed gun elevation angles (0° or 40°)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Two gun barrel choices for modelers \u0026amp; gamers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- All hatches can be open or closed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Extra stowage options included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Four gun crew figures included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eProduct Code: \u003cstrong\u003e280079\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Parts: 213 pieces \/ 7 sprues\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlastic Kit - ABS Cement Required\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMiniatures supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075979706538,"sku":"RU-280079","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/280079_Flakpanzer_IV_Wirbelwind.webp?v=1776643260"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-schwimmwagen-type-166","title":"Rubicon Models - Schwimmwagen Type 166 Amphibious 4WD Car","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003cbr\u003e- Detailed interior\u003cbr\u003e- Rear propellor in stowed or in use position\u003cbr\u003e- Fold-down windshield\u003cbr\u003e- Optional side-mounted MG34 or MG42\u003cbr\u003e- Driver included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075983507626,"sku":"RUG280080","price":38.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/rubicon-models-schwimmwagen-type-166-gap-games.jpg?v=1775033196"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-krupp-protze-kfz-69-70-6x4-truck","title":"Rubicon Models - 6x4 Truck Krupp Protze Artillery Tractor \/ Utility Truck","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Highlights:\u003cbr\u003e- Can be built as a Kfz 69 artillery tractor or Kfz 70 troop transport\u003cbr\u003e- Open or closed tailgate (Kfz 70)\u003cbr\u003e- Optional tarpaulin top (for Kfz 70)\u003cbr\u003e- Open or closed rear canvas\u003cbr\u003e- Driver in heer uniform included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075984949418,"sku":"RUG280082","price":39.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/rubicon-models-krupp-protze-kfz-6970-6x4-truck-gap-games.jpg?v=1775033200"},{"product_id":"rubicon-models-panzer-iii-ausf-e-f-g","title":"Rubicon Models - Panzer III Ausf E \/ F \/ G Medium Tank","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Panzerkampfwagen III (SdKfz 141), commonly known as the Panzer III, was a medium tank developed in the 1930s by Germany, and was used extensively in WW2.

The first Ausf G tanks were armed with 3.7cm KwK L\/46.5 guns. Some took part in the invasion of Holland, Belgium and France in May 1940. After experience during the Battle of France, some were upgraded with a 5cm KwK 38 L\/42 gun. They were used on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.
