Parts: 41
Size: 2,4 cm

The Spartiates fought on foot, taking the role of heavy infantry - the hoplites. As far as arms and tactics were concerned they didn't differ much from their neighbors. The difference was in the selection of the warriors. The creation of a Spartan hoplite began at selection at birth. The infants, who had defects in their physical development, were thrown off a cliff. A Spartiate had to be physically perfect. From the age of seven the hoplites to be were raised away from their families in squads where stamina, cunningness, cruelty and the ability to endure pain were considered the main virtues of a boy. The result of such a life and education was the famous Spartan Phalanx, unwavering in the face of any enemy, wall like in its unity and fearsome in attack. The Spartan Hoplites were the object of envy and awe for the enemies and neighbors. Their way of life was considered a model to follow.

Parts: 19
Size: 2,4 cm

The cuirassiers were always the elite force of Napoleon's army. Their crushing close-formation attacks were deservedly hailed as the decisive factor in Napoleon's success. The Napoleonic Wars represented the heyday of the cuirassier, and they would continue to be fielded until the opening battles of World War I. These cavalry soldiers took their name from the heavy metal breastplate (cuirass) that they wore. While the armor was not enough to protect against the flintlock muskets of the era, they were able to deflect shots from long range and they were very effective in close quarter melee fighting. As close fighting became the primary purpose of the cuirassier, they fought primarily with swords. Many did carry a pistol as a secondary weapon.

Die 76 mm Panzerkanone L-11, die auf dem KV montiert war, erwies sich als nicht schlagkräftig genug, um gegen Bunker oder andere Festungsanlagen vorzugehen.

Kurz nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Russland wurde die Produktion jedoch wieder eingestellt, da dieser Einzweck-Panzer ein exorbitanter Luxus unter den schweren Bedingungen der Anfangsphase des Krieges war.

Der KV-2 mit seiner 152 mm Kanone war eine der leistungsstärksten sowjetischen Panzer der frühen Phase des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

The Swedish field artillery was created during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) by the great military reformer king Gustav II Adolf. Following the Dutch pattern he established the unification of all artillery cannon calibers. The king also created regimental artillery which operates in battle formations with infantry. These Reforms had excellent results. Starting from the battle of Breitenfeld (1631) the Swedish field artillery became the decisive factor for many of Gustav II Adolf victories. The Swedish cannons were manufactured with remarkable quality, especially the iron ones. Christopher Polhem, a Swedish scientist and industrialist, created perfect sights and instruments for vertical aiming

In connection with the Turkish invasion of the Central Europe importance of the House greatly increased. Since the XVI till XVIII century in opinion of contemporaries they were like a shield protected the Western Europe from incursion of Moslems. In the first half of the XVII century the Austrian infantry had been organized in accordance with directions given by Morris von Nassau, who was founder of the Netherlands army which was the most progressive during that time. Infantry battalion had been included 550 persons. 250 pike- men were in the center of formation, 240 musketry were in positions at flanks and 60 were in the line of skirmishers. Skirmishers were to fire during countermarch, and that required a highest skill and coherence of actions of soldiery, but at the same time it was a way to keep the strength of continuous fire. In case of threat from cavalry musketry were to shelter behind ranks of pikemen without breaking of formation. On a battlefield battalions had been arranged in three echelons similar to battle formation of the Roman legions. Such arrangement had been given no obstructions during maneuvering of separate detachments and had been allowed to give a support to each other in necessity.

Art.bezeichnung: 1:72 Persian Infantry

Parts: 42
Size: 2,4 cm

Infantry was the largest branch of the Persian army. It consisted of three parts: the King's bodyguards, the Immortals, and troops from allied peoples and satrapies of the Persian Empire. During a military campaign, 2,000 royal guards always escorted the King. The bodyguards were the most distinguished and valorous Persian warriors. Another unit of the Persian elite infantry was the Immortals. There were invariably 10,000 of them. If any of the Immortals was killed or incapacitated, he was immediately replaced by warriors chosen from the other troops. Therefore, their number always remained unchanged. Many Persian infantrymen wore huge but light shields woven from twigs, which gave good protection from arrows. A considerable part of the Persian infantry used bows. Hiding behind large shields, archers shot at the enemy, inflicting considerable losses.

The dive bomber Junkers Ju-87 received its famous nickname "Stuka" from the German "Sturzkampfflugzeug" ("dive bomber"). Despite such nickname, poor aerodynamics and a lack of defensive armament, this aircraft appeared to be very effective during the first stage of war because of its ability to accurately hit a target in a nose dive – most aircraft of WWII didn’t have such ability.

Die Produktion des Kampfhubschraubers Mi-24V wurde 1976 aufgenommen. Diese Version war mit dem vollkommen neuen Panzerabwehrraketensystem „Sturm-V" mit dem Leitsystem „Raduga-Sh", das eine Treffgenauigkeit von mehr als 92% erzielt. Mit anderen Worten: 9 oder sogar 10 von 10 abgefeuerten Raketen finden ihr Ziel. Der Mi-24V übertraf damit sein amerikanisches Gegenstück, den AH-1S Super Cobra, in Sachen Kampfeigenschaften. Von 1976 bis 1986 wurden rund eintausend Mi-24V in der UdSSR hergestellt. Diese Hubschrauber wurden während des Afghanistan-Konflikts als Teil der sowjetischen Armeen eingesetzt. Viele von ihnen wurden in mehrere mit der UdSSR verbündete Länder exportiert. Heute ist der Mi-24V nach wie vor das Rückgrat der russischen Luftwaffe.

Länge des Modells: 160 mm Anzahl der Teile: 75

The Ilyushin IL-2M first entered service in the autumn of 1942. The aircraft had been upgunned by installing 23mm Weapons and a 12,7mm machinegun at the rear for added protection. The availability of a reargunner basically reduced the risks from attacks by enemy fighters. Now the crews of the IL-2M could not only inflict heavy losses on the enemy but were also with extra firepower able to more successfully protect their airplane.
