NEW FROM trumpeter 1/35 Soviet SMK heavy tank 09584

Leave a comment

SMK is a heavy tank prototype developed by the Soviet Union before World War II. Its name SMK is actually the initials of Sergey Milonovich Kirov, the former leader of the CPSU who was assassinated in 1934. After the SMK heavy tank was discovered by the German Intelligence Agency, it was classified as a T-35C, which directly led to the misunderstanding that the T-35 had participated in the Sufen War.

      SMK only manufactured a prototype car. After the experimental display, it was found that both the weight and the volume were far more than the KV series heavy tanks. After the short-term use of the Soviet-Finnish war, the project was terminated.

      SMK’s main weapons are a 76.2 mm gun on the central main turret and a 45 mm gun on the small turret.

NEW FROM trumpeter 1/35 German FLAK 41 5cm anti-aircraft gun 02350

Leave a comment

The FLAK 41 50mm anti-aircraft gun was designed as a key air defense to make up for the lack of shooting height of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun. At that time, the anti-aircraft guns of 75mm and above were relatively heavy and could not be maneuvered at any time. The research and development of the artillery began slowly in 1936. In 1940, the contract was awarded to Rheinmetall-Borsig. The artillery developed two models to protect important industrial facilities. Neither model is successful, and both have the same failures. The speed of the reclamation mechanism is too slow, and the response to fast-moving targets and the rate of fire cannot meet the design requirements, and the smoke generated during launching seriously affects the sight during the day. A total of about 60 FLAK 41 50mm anti-aircraft guns were produced, starting in 1941, and some continued to be used until 1945.

NEW FROM trumpeter 1/35 Soviet BM-13NM rocket launcher 01075

Leave a comment

     The Katyusha multiple rocket launcher is a rocket launcher first manufactured and put into use by the Soviet Union during World War II. Multiple rockets can be fired intensively, which can cover the target area faster than traditional artillery, but the accuracy is not high, and the reloading time is relatively long. Compared with traditional artillery, they have relatively insufficient protection, but they are cheap and easy to produce.

      Katyusha during the Second World War is usually loaded on a truck. Give Katyusha better maneuverability, can suddenly launch a large-scale fire attack, and then quickly move the position before the enemy’s anti-artillery firepower gathers.

      The BM-13 NM used a post-war ZIL-157 chassis and was produced between 1958 and 1960.

NEW FROM trumpeter 1/350 Italian Navy battleship “Veneto” 1940 05320

Leave a comment

   The Veneto-class battleship is the most powerful battleship ever built in Italy, and it is also Italy’s first battleship with a single-ship displacement of 35,000 tons. Although the “Washington Treaty” stipulates that Italy is allowed to have a battleship of 182,800 gross tons (including 70,000 tons before 1932), due to various reasons, Italy waited more than ten years before starting the construction of new ships.

      The Veneto entered service on May 1, 1940. After Italy invaded Greece in 1940, the Italian naval battleships gathered in Taranto, ready to fight with the British Eastern Mediterranean Fleet that might come to support the Greek army. But the Veneto had nothing to do until November 1940. The task of intercepting the British escort fleet carried out in June 1942 was its last combat operation. He then went to Genoa for maintenance and returned to La Spezia until Italy surrendered in September 1943. Retired on January 3, 1948. Although the Paris Peace Peace would pay the Veneto to Britain as Italy’s war compensation, the British government allowed Italy to destroy it on its own. Between 1948 and 1950, Veneto disintegrated in La Spezia.
