hobbyboss 1/35 84577 Chinese ZTQ-15 light tank
The Type 15 light tank ( domestic service code ZTQ-15), nicknamed “Black Panther”, is the third generation light tank of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Army. It will become the replacement for the retired Type 62 light tank.
The Type 15 light tank features two interchangeable armor protection components. In the standard protection state, the tank turret, body and sides are equipped with composite armor plates, other parts use basic steel armor, and the front of the body is protected with light explosive reactive armor. In addition to composite armor, the enhanced armor protection component also installs relatively thick explosive reactive armor on the front and lower body, including the entire tank body and turret, which have enhanced protection. In order to improve the side protection capability, explosive reactive armor is also mounted on the side skirts , and an armored fence can be selected at the rear of the car body. The upgraded armor can cope with more intense regional wars.

hobbyboss 1/48 81774 U.S. B-24J “Liberator” bomber
The B-24 “Liberator” bomber is a heavy bomber put into use by the United States in World War II. It was developed by the United Aircraft Company. It was active on the Western Front, the China-Burma-India Theater and the Pacific Theater during the war. It participated in It has fought even more battles than the famous B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, because its bomb load and range are higher than the B-17
In the 1930s , the U.S. Army Air Force already owned bombers such as the Boeing B-17 . However, the international situation at that time was not only Germany, which was rearmed by the Nazi Party, but also Japan, which had launched a war of aggression against China. At that time, the United States When the military realized that it was about to face these two potential opponents, the B-17 might still be insufficient, so in January 1939 , it asked the United Company to develop a heavy bomber with a larger bomb load and a longer range than the B-17 . United Company used its The developed MODEL-32 airframe and the wings of the MODEL-31 airship were used as a blueprint, so the development speed was very fast. On December 29 of the same year, the XB – 24 completed its first test flight. After that, Unity Company named it after the president’s nanny. “Liberator”. During World War II, a total of 18,482 Liberators were produced by 5 aircraft factories. The total production was the highest among various American bombers.
The B-24 has a bomb bay that can carry 3,600 kilograms in its fuselage, so it has a large and wide fuselage. From a distance, it even looks a bit like an airship. The bomb bay is divided into two parts, the front and rear, by the wing spar. The bomb bay door is not a solid aluminum plate that opens downward but a thin aluminum sheet. It is pulled up like a curtain before dropping the bomb. The wings are used to maximize the structural strength of the fuselage. The high-shoulder wing is very slender in order to have good low-speed stability and be able to carry the most fuel. As for its tail, it adopts an H- shaped design. The XB-24 does not have a defensive machine gun , which was added to the actual combat version later. , in general, although the B-24 ‘s defensive machine guns have various designs, they also have many problems and are not as effective as the B-17 .
The B-24 itself has a range of 322 kilometers further than the B-17 , and its front bomb bay can also be used to carry fuel. This is 966 kilometers longer than the B-17 , which also uses the bomb bay to carry fuel. The B-17 is already fully loaded. However, the B-24 can also carry bombs in the rear bomb bay, so the B-24 is more suitable as a long-range bomber than the B-17 .
In addition to being used by the Air Force as a bomber during World War II, the B-24 was also used by the Navy as an anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
