Thunderbolts in service during WWII gained the nickname “Jugs” because of their close resemblance to period milk bottles. Fortunately for the Allies, the “Jugs” were no milksops. Their eight .50 caliber machine guns were adept at taking down the Luftwaffe’s juggernauts and their heavy armor protection let them shatter ground targets with relative impunity. All 130 P-47M fi ghters were deployed with the 56th Fighter Group which had the second highest air-to-air kills of the war.

First fl own in the middle of 1943, the P1Y1 was not operational until October 1944. Only 1,000 of all types were constructed before the cessation of hostilities and they were available only in small numbers. Those units that did make it off the assembly line were routinely squandered in kamikaze attacks against American shipping. Overall, the aircraft was fast and possessed remarkable range but was severely limited by lack of manpower and fuel. This limited edition kit features decals for two aircraft: I.J.N. 521st N.F.G.

Vickers machine guns were .303 caliber (7.7 mm), recoil-operated, water-cooled medium machine guns that the British developed and used primarily during World War I. The weapon was capable of fi ring up to 600 rounds a minute and, with an experienced crew, spare barrels and ample ammunition, was capable of maintaining that rate of fi re for twelve hours. That endurance ensured that the guns were used on land, sea and in the air from 1912 to 1968. This limited edition kit features a fi nely-modeled gun with display frame.

Japan needed an interceptor capable of stopping the B-29. Japanese designers installed a large radial engine into the cowling of the Ki-64. The new engine massively improved the performance of the fi ghter and the Ki-100s raced off to fi ght. Without an effective supercharger, however, the Ki-100 still couldn’t perform at the altitudes B-29s attacked from. Two bombs from those same bombers ended the war, consigning the Ki-100 to history.

Academy® 1/35 German Light Tank Pz.Kpfw.35(t) Goodbye Prague, hello Paris Over two hundred of these tanks were taken by Nazi Germany after the occupation of the Sudetenland. At the time they were some of the most advanced tanks in the world. While most tanks were carrying a single light machine gun as their primary armament, the 35(t) carried a 37mm main gun and two machine guns. This load gave the tank anti-armor and anti-infantry capability that helped the Wehrmacht punch through Poland, France and into the USSR.

Or, for a truly lethal stroke, the boats had a pair of 533mm (21 in) torpedo tubes. For short range craft S-boats were surprisingly effective; sinking over a hundred merchant ships 12 destroyers and numerous other vessels far outside their tonnage class. The mines these boats laid also reaped a fearsome toll of naval and merchant vessels. This kit features a detailed S-Boat with decals.

War time expediency turned the Typhoon to a dedicated low altitude role where it wreaked havoc on Fw 190s. As the numbers of enemy fi ghters dwindled, (partially due to the Typhoon’s efforts) focus shifted to ground attack missions; missions for which the Typhoon, with its four 20mm cannons and extensive high-explosive armament, was ideally suited.

Its effectiveness was due to an extremely high muzzle velocity coupled with the fact that it could be deployed in two minutes and thereafter fi re a round every three seconds.Kit features gun, half-track and four crew fi gures.
