Ostmodels Pricelist February 2020 OSTMODELS 1/76-1/72 Scale Models in Polyurethane WWII AFVs, Artillery, Transport Ostmodels is a small hobby business, which offers a range of often unusual kits to war gamers and modelers. Having retired from my career in education I can supply all year round but generally not in commercial quantities. My interest is in improving older kits and in developing new and interesting kits. I need to maintain the balance between development and production. This range of models is designed for the modeler or war gamer interested in the WWII period, particularly the less familiar theatres of the war. There is a growing interest in protoypes and blueprints which is reflected in some new and upcoming releases. In common with all similar products, there will be flash to be removed and some small air holes to be filled. The current list represents those kits that have been in demand. Much of the range is not currently in production. This is a result of a number of factors, which include the availability of high quality Russian kits produced in Eastern Europe, which address the gaps that I tried to cover for wargamers. The quality of current resin kits represents considerable development and improvement over the past ten years. I have removed some kits from the list which I feel need updating. Feel free to enquire after deleted kits. E-mail is my preferred mode of communication and payment is received through PayPal. Payment is requested when orders are close to completion, not before. Postage with be quoted on individual orders giving the best options for cost, speed and security.

  • GURPS WWII Classic
    World War II raged from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of the South Pacific, from the mountaintops of the Alps to the beaches of Normandy, across (and under) the high seas, and through the skies above it all. Soldiers in all of these places relied upon the machines of war: bombers, fighters, tanks, jeeps, ships, submarines, landing craft, and much more. GURPS WWII: Motor Pool has a huge variety of historically accurate vehicles from mankind’s greatest conflict. Many of the vehicles were common; others were rare or even unique. From the stodgy General Lee tank to the earliest helicopters and the wildly impractical Maus, Motor Pool has tons of new gear for every GURPS WWII player. Motor Pool also gathers in one place all the refinements to the vehicle design system that have evolved since the original corebook came out, as well as a new system to describe any WWII-era conveyance in a few simple steps. These additions include scores of new weapons to be fitted on your war machines – some historical and some products of the imagination. On top of all that, Motor Pool has advice on S how to integrate vehicles into a roleplaying T E campaign, with details on how vehicle crews V really lived and fought, from the difficulties of E supply to getting their machine moving at all.

But what happens when the weapons of one side are dramatically inferior to those of the other? Could the technological imbalance be overcome by innovative tactics? This title examines such a contest, the US Army’s M4A3 Sherman medium tank against the Japanese Type 97-kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha in the Philippines in 1945. Tank combat in the Pacific War of 1941–45 is not widely discussed. There has long been a presumption that the terrain conditions in many areas, especially the mountainous tropical jungles of the Southwest Pacific and Burma, were not well suited to tank use. Yet the terrain of the Pacific battlefields varied enormously, from the fetid jungles of New Guinea to the rocky coral atolls of the Central Pacific. In many of the critical campaigns of 1944–45, the terrain was suitable for tank use and they became a critical ingredient in the outcome of the fighting. This book examines the largest single armored clash of the Pacific War – on Luzon in the Philippines in January–February 1945. This was the only time that the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) committed an entire armored division against American or British forces.
