Article number: 510006580 Product: 1:35 US M-7 Priest Howitzer Self-Prop Model Dim.: 17,2 cm NEW GLUABLE RUBBER TRACKS - DECALS FOR 4 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET CONTAINS 1 FIGURE The deployment of self-propelled artillery during the Second World War was very quickly adopted by all of the combatants. Following the innovative use of mobile artillery by the German army at the outset of the conflict, the need for artillery pieces to be as mobile as tank battalions was universally recognised. The Allies initially mounted their first self-propelled artillery units on half-track vehicles, but the most effective solution manifested itself with the introduction of the M7 Priest. Using the hull of the M3 Lee medium tank the M7 was armed with a 105mm M2A1 howitzer. It was deployed operationally for the first time in 1942 by British troops who gave it the nickname "Priest", due to the position of the machine gun in the front of the vehicle which resembled a Church pulpit. Robust and reliable, it had a plentiful supply of ammunition and provided effective indirect support fire. It was used by both the American army and the U.S. Marines on all fronts throughout the course of the war. Detailed plastic kit

Référence article: 510006364 Produit: 1:35 US M8 Greyhound Au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'armée américaine disposait de « scout cars » légers et peu armés pour les activités de reconnaissance avancée. Développé au cours de la guerre, le véhicule blindé M-8 Greyhoud, qui offrait une meilleure protection et un armement plus lourd, a représenté un tournant pour l'armée américaine. Le véhicule offre une plus grande flexibilité opérationnelle et peut être utilisé plus efficacement pour soutenir les troupes au sol grâce au canon de 37 mm installé dans la tourelle. D'abord utilisé sur le front italien, de Montecassino à Anzio, il a ensuite participé aux opérations du jour J en juin 1944. Bien que le terrain de Normandie se soit révélé difficile et exigeant au début de l'opération, le M-8 a ensuite été apprécié pour sa rapidité de déplacement et sa polyvalence d'utilisation. Il a été utilisé non seulement par l'armée américaine, mais aussi par de nombreux pays alliés. Attention ! Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 14 ans.

Le Douglas A-4 Skyhawk a été développé dans les années 1950 et a été l'un des avions d'attaque légers les plus célèbres et les plus populaires de l'histoire de l'aviation. Sa petite taille et sa compacité le rendaient extrêmement maniable et idéal pour une utilisation sur les porte-avions. Il présentait une conception simple, avec ses ailes basses en forme de delta caractéristiques et ses petites prises d'air latérales, mais extrêmement fonctionnelle pour les utilisations opérationnelles. Avec l'adoption du moteur turboréacteur J52 de Pratt & Whitney, le Skyhawk pouvait atteindre 1 170 km/h. Armé de deux canons de 20 mm, il pouvait transporter une charge offensive létale composée de missiles air-air, de missiles air-surface, de roquettes et de bombes à chute libre.

Le Boeing E/A-18 G Growler est né pour répondre à un besoin spécifique de la U.S. Navy : disposer d'un avion spécialisé dans la guerre électronique pour remplacer le Grumman EA-6B Prowler obsolète, tant en termes d'avionique que de performances. Le Growler est directement dérivé de l'avion de chasse biplace F/A-18 F Super Hornet, dont il conserve pratiquement toutes les caractéristiques aérodynamiques. Les deux moteurs General Electric confèrent au Growler une vitesse maximale de Mach 1,8 et des performances en rapport avec les avions qu'il doit soutenir. L'équipage se compose du pilote et, en tandem, du WSO (Weapon System Officer). Contrairement au F/A-18, il n'est pas équipé d'un canon mais peut transporter des pods de brouillage radar et de guerre électronique, des réservoirs supplémentaires, des distributeurs de paillettes et de fusées éclairantes, ainsi que des missiles AIM-120 AMRAAM dans ses pylônes sous les ailes.

The F-14A first flew on 21st December 1970, and production-line models started reaching squadrons in 1973. Squadrons VF-1 and VF-2 accompanied the last voyage of the aircraft carrier Enterprise in Vietnam, yet never saw combat. The Tomcat would not see action until 1981, when it shot down two Libyan Su-22s during an encounter over the Gulf of Sirte. Since then the F-14 has been updated several times and has taken parts in various conflicts in the Middle East (Iran-Iraq war, 1st and 2nd Gulf War), as well as in operations over the former Yugoslavia and minor skirmishes over the Mediterranean.

Le programme JSF Joint Strike Fighter a été lancé pour développer un nouveau chasseur multirôle « tous temps » de cinquième génération, capable de remplacer efficacement les avions d’attaque au sol actuellement en service aux États-Unis et dans les pays de l’OTAN. De ce projet est né le monoplace Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Doté d’une technologie extraordinaire, il se caractérise par une conception aérodynamique à aile trapézoïdale avec des caractéristiques furtives (stealth). Conçu pour exécuter des missions de supériorité aérienne, d’appui aérien rapproché et d’attaque au sol, sa cellule peut être adaptée à différentes configurations. Le F-35B, grâce à ses capacités STOVL (décollage et atterrissage courts ou verticaux), a été conçu pour opérer à partir de porte-avions tels que le Queen Elizabeth de la Royal Navy ou le Cavour de la Marine Militaire Italienne. Également utilisé par le Corps des Marines, il se distingue par l’adoption du moteur Pratt & Whitney équipé d’un postcombusteur et d’une tuyère orientable vers le bas. L’extrême flexibilité opérationnelle, la capacité d’emport offensif, la technologie embarquée et l’innovation majeure du projet feront du F-35 Lightning II un acteur incontournable de l’aviation militaire du XXIe siècle.
