1:35 T34/85 ZAVOD 112 1944
510006758€39.99
The T-34 tank is undoubtedly one of the most iconic armored vehicles of World War II and served as the backbone of the Soviet Armed Forces during the conflict. The main innovations introduced by the T-34 included the sloped frontal armor, which provided greater protection against incoming fire, and the adoption of wide tracks, ideal for achieving good mobility across all types of terrain. The first T-34s, equipped with a short-barreled 76 mm gun, quickly gained an operational advantage over the most common German tanks of the time, such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV. In 1943, the T-34 was further improved with the introduction of a completely new turret featuring thicker armor and capable of housing the long-barreled 85 mm gun. With the deployment of the first T-34/85s to armored units, the Soviet armies were able to match even the most modern and effective German tanks, such as the Tiger and the Panther.

1:32 TORNADO GR.1 Desert Storm
510002521€129.99

1:35 Semovente M42 da 75/34 Upgrade
510006759€39.99
At the end of the 1930’s the Italian Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army) began to deploy self-propelled artillery guns to provide support for tanks and infantry units. The ‘Semovente’ 75/18 was developed on the back of the ‘M’ series medium tank hull and soon became the most feared Italian armored vehicle. In addition to its primary artillery role, the 75mm howitzer installed in the casemate proved to be a highly effective anti-tank weapon, capable of destroying even the most powerful and heavily armored British and American tanks. During the war however, the Italian Regio Esercito requested the development of a version with increased offensive capability. The 75/34 cannon which was originally designed for an anti-tank role, was fitted to the hull of the M42 self-propelled tank. The initial units of which, were distributed to the Italian Army in the spring of 1943. As a result of its effective operational performance, it was also used by German anti-tank battalions after the armistice in September 1943.

1:24 Bugatti Coupè Napoleon
510013705€36.99
The Type 41 "Royale" is considered by the automotive industry to be one of the most prestigious and luxurious cars ever produced. It was initially built on what might be termed an ‘artisan’ scale by the Bugatti car manufacturer, with only six units being built from 1929 to 1933. With its imposing and "monumental" dimensions, it was also fitted with an engine that provided the largest displacement ever built of over 12,000 cm3. In fact Ettore Bugatti's aim was to create a car so prestigious that sales would be restricted to a very small, exclusive group of potential customers that included the royal houses of the period. The six "Type 41s" shared the same chassis and engine, but differed in the configuration of the bodywork. Of the six Royale cars produced the Coupé Napoléon was the first in chassis order. It was notable for its elegant two-tone black and blue bodywork and the highly sought after velvet interiors. It was Ettore Bugatti's private car for many years and is an icon of world automotive production.

1:35 Pak 97/38 AT Gun with crew
510096460€19.99
The PaK 97/38 was a German anti-tank gun used during World War II. It was developed using the barrel of the famous French 75 mm Mle 1897 gun. Many of these guns were captured after the invasion of France and proved to be a valid, quick, and relatively inexpensive solution to equip German anti-tank troops with a more powerful weapon than the now outdated 37 mm PaK 36, which was no longer capable of penetrating the armor of more modern and robust Soviet tanks such as the KV-1 and the T-34. It could fire a decent variety of ammunition types and was also used by numerous anti-tank units of other Axis countries allied with Germany. Its operational performance was later surpassed by the more modern and up-to-date 75 mm PaK 40. Detailed plastic kit

1:32 Macchi MC.200 PE-Parts
510002516€99.99
The Macchi MC.200, designed by the renowned engineer Mario Castoldi, represented a significant evolution in Italian fighter aircraft production.

Powered by a 14-cylinder, twin-row Fiat A.74 RC.38 radial engine delivering 840 hp, the Macchi MC.200 could reach speeds of up to 500 km/h. However, when compared to its Allied counterparts, the MC.200 proved to be underpowered and, above all, lightly armed. Its armament consisted of only two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns mounted above the engine’s distinctive bulged cowling. In later versions, two additional 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns were installed in the wings.
