trumpeter 1/350 French light cruiser Georges Legue 05375 FULL KIT
The La Galissonnier-class light cruiser is the French Navy’s most advanced World War II cruiser built by the French Navy based on the “Emile Bertin” and combined with the protective design of the heavy cruiser “Algeria” to strengthen its defense capabilities at the expense of speed. Strong light cruiser. The excellent hull line shape of La Galissonnier allowed its actual speed to exceed the original design speed of 31 knots and reach 32 knots. The Marseillaise once reached a test speed of 35 knots. After the outbreak of World War II, this class was assigned to join the Third Cruiser Fleet and the Fourth Cruiser Fleet respectively, which also laid the foundation for the different fate of this class of ships in the future. The Georges Legault in the Fourth Cruiser Fleet was dispatched by the French Vichy government to the coast of Gabon in Central Africa to fight against the activities of the Free French Army in Central Africa. However, it was intercepted by a British cruiser and escaped into the port of Dakar. After the Allied forces landed in North Africa, the Georges Legg joined the Free French Navy and participated in the battle against the German and Italian troops. In mid-1943, the George Legg went to the United States for extensive modifications. In addition to the removal of aviation equipment and hangars, the air defense capabilities were greatly enhanced. The refitted George Legg went to the Mediterranean theater to participate in the battle in the second half of 1943. In 1944, she participated in Operation Overlord, the fire support mission of the Normandy landings and the Operation Dragoon landing in southern France.

product description: |
In early October 1942, a development plan for the VK 45.03 was released. Two companies provided their own designs, one was Henschel and the other was Porsche. Both used turret designs from Krupp, with the main differences being the hull, transmission system and suspension.
Henschel’s version used a conventional hull design with a sloped armor arrangement similar to that of the Panther tank. The engine is rear-mounted, similar to the “Tiger” I tank. There are nine staggered road wheels on each side, installed on transverse torsion bars. In order to simplify logistics and maintenance, the wheels overlap in the same way as the “Tiger” I tank.
Henschel won the contract and all King Tiger tanks were produced by the company. The vehicle comes in two turret designs. The early model turret was first installed on a Porsche concept prototype, so this type of car is often called the “Porsche turret” type. In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. This kind of turret is just one of the two turrets originally designed by Krupp. The front of this turret is arc-shaped, and the sides of the turret are relatively steep. In order to install the command tower, there is a turret on the left side of the turret. A curved bulge, which made production very difficult, fifty vehicles had such a turret installed on the hull produced by Henschel. The more common later “production” turrets, sometimes called “Henschel” turrets, had a flat front with no shell replenishment openings (as had been used on earlier curved turrets), and a less sloping turret to allow for just To accommodate the commander’s tower, the edges no longer need to be raised.
The track system used by the “King Tiger” chassis is quite unique. Track shoes with inducing teeth and track shoes without inducing teeth are alternately used (also known as the “one male and one female” design) when the track grip is insufficient. Sometimes, you can also use anti-skid teeth.
The King Tiger tank came late in the war and was produced in small numbers. Like other German tanks, it used a gasoline engine. However, the power of the same engine installed on the lighter “Panther” and “Tiger” I tanks was barely enough, and it was indeed a bit inadequate when used in the “King Tiger”. This was somewhat like the situation with other heavy tanks in World War II. Similar, and its high fuel consumption results in too short driving range.
