1/144 Soviet & Italian Tanks from Panzer Depot

1/144 Soviet & Italian Tanks from Panzer Depot

The Fiat L6/40 was a light tank used by the Italian army from 1940 through World War II. It was designed by Fiat-Ansaldo as an export product, and was adopted by the Italian Army when officials learned of the design and expressed interest. It was the main tank employed by the Italian forces fighting on the Eastern Front alongside the L6/40-based Semovente 47/32 self-propelled gun. L6/40s were also used in the North African campaign.

The official Italian designation was Carro Armato ("armored tank") L6/40. This designation means: "L" for Leggero (Italian: "light"), followed by the weight in tons (6) and the year of adoption (1940).

The T-62 is a main battle tank, a further development of the T-55. Its 115 mm gun was the first smoothbore tank gun in use.

The T-62 was produced between 1961 and 1975. It became a standard tank in the Soviet arsenal, partly replacing the T-55, although that tank continued to be manufactured in the Soviet Union and elsewhere after T-62 production was halted. The T-62 was later replaced in front-line service by the T-72.

The T-72 is a Soviet second-generation main battle tank that entered production in 1971.[6] About 20,000 T-72 tanks were built,[7] making it one of the most widely produced post–World War II tanks, second only to the T-54/55 family. The T-72 was widely exported and saw service in 40 countries and in numerous conflicts. Improved variants are still being built for export customers.

bject 279 (Объект 279) was a Soviet experimental heavy tank developed at the end of 1959.

This special purpose tank was intended to fight on cross country terrain, inaccessible to conventional tanks, acting as a heavy breakthrough tank, and if necessary withstanding even the shockwave of a nuclear explosion. It was planned as a tank of the Supreme Command Reserve.

1/144 Vickers Valiant B Mk.I - Amercom
Well now, you wait for years dreaming of the V-Bomber fleet and then they come flying at you from all angles.......

First of the V-Bombers to drop bombs in anger, first of the v-bombers to drop an atomic bomb (testing) and subsequently the first operation in flight refueling tankers...

And if you wish to recreated a classic cold war image of a V-Bomber Force airfield surrounded by Bloodhound SAMs (you will make Matti's day!)

In case you need reminding of the history of this fine looking aircraft:

The sole surviving example can be found here at RAF Cosford (somewhere I have photos!)

It's not on the main Amercom Website yet, but it should show here soon:

1/144 Bristol Bloodhound Mk.2 - Matti's Minis

1/144 Bristol Bloodhound Mk.2 - Matti's Minis
New guy Matti produces an excellent model without peer in 1/144 a classic SAM, what better way to guard your 1/144 RAF fleet of Hunters, Lightnings, TSR-2s and rest of the V-Bomber Force?

Introduced into RAF service in the 1950s, this ramjet powered rocket could reach Mach 2.7 and had a range of 85km. "By the time the missile has just cleared the launcher it is doing 400 mph. By the time the missile is 25 feet from the launcher it has reached the speed of sound (around 720 mph). Three seconds after launch, as the four boost rockets fall away, it has reached Mach 2.5 which is roughly 1,800 mph"

 It was also used by Australia, Singapore, Switzerland and Sweden.

1/144 CM11 Brave Tiger Main Battle Tank - Strategist

1/144 CM11 Brave Tiger Main Battle Tank - Strategist

The CM-11 was a Taiwanese creation that evolved the American-made M48 Patton series (in particular the M48H production model) of main battle tanks even further.

The M48 has her origins in a 1951 requirement. Seeing production begin in 1952 and being formally designated in 1953. Production ran up to 1959 with some 11,700 examples delivered. However, like the M48 before it, the armor protection afforded to the internal systems an crew of the CM-11 Brave Tiger leave something to be desired against the new wave of main battle tanks and man-portable anti-tank killing systems.

The CM-11 “Brave Tiger” was born in 1990 by upgrading the family line with a modified M48A2 turret and newer M60 Patton mail battle tank hulls. The turret fitted a 105mm main gun, an advanced fire control system, stabilized sights, ballistics computer and thermal imaging. In many ways, this modernization of the aged M48 brought the Taiwanese version on par with the newer M60 Patton while incorporating some elements of the advanced American M1 Abrams in the process. Accuracy was improved by way of a joined imaging and target system as well as dual-axis stabilization for target tracking and firing on the move. There is a 7.62mm machine gun on a pintle mount outside of the commander’s cupola hatch. Like the base M48, the CM-11 is crewed by four personnel made up of the driver (seated front, center in the hull), the gunner, loader and commander. The commander sits to the right of the turret, just behind the gunner, while the loader is to his left.

Power is supplied through a General Dynamics AVDS-1790-2C series diesel engine developing 750 horsepower. This allows for a top speed of 30 miles per hour on ideal surfaces and a reported (somewhat optimistic) range of 311 miles. Armor is 5.63 inches (143mm) at its thickest. Total weight is said to be around 49.2 tons (or 50,000kg).
