  • Hotchkiss H 35 1/35
    1/35 HOTCHKISS H 35 81132 81132-076 F Au début des années 30, l’armée française n’a toujours pas trouvé de remplaçant pour le char FT qui est devenu obsolète. Les budgets d’armement sont en forte hausse car la situation internationale commence à se dégrader. Alors que les autorités militaires tardent à publier les spécifications pour un nouveau char, le directeur de la société HOTCHKISS va prendre l’initiative de rencontrer les membres de l’Etat-Major autour d’une maquette en plâtre pour leur montrer ce qu’ils peuvent attendre de la technologie militaire existant alors. C’est de ces entretiens que va naître le programme de chars légers. Dès lors cela va lui permettre de pouvoir présenter son avant-projet six semaines avant la publication du programme officiel, coiffant sur le poteau tous ses concurrents. Les desiderata de l’armée s’orientent vers un char léger de petite taille dont le poids ne doit pas excéder les cinq ou six tonnes. Il est d’ailleurs envisagé qu’il puisse s’agir d’un char casemate donc sans tourelle, pour l’alléger. Le programme de chars légers est publié le 2 août 1933 alors qu’ HOTCHKISS a déjà reçu une commande de trois prototypes plusieurs semaines auparavant. Les deux premiers sont présentés à la commission de Vincennes le 18 janvier 1935. Il s’agit de chars casemates dont la caisse est en acier moulé, ce qui est plutôt novateur pour l’époque. Mais ils ne répondent déjà plus aux nouvelles spécifications car entre-temps le nouveau canon de 25 mm est produit en série et sa munition perce aisément les 30 mm de blindage qui paraissaient bien suffisants un an plus tôt.

Zaloga // 2014 // 1782002936, 9781782002932 The armour clashes in May 1940 were the biggest the world had yet seen, as the sweeping German advances of that period came to epitomize Blitzkrieg. The Wehrmacht's Panzer III was well matched by the French Somua S35 tanks, the two representing very different design philosophies and yet both ranking among the best in the world at the time. Fully illustrated with specially commissioned colour artwork, this work draws upon the latest research to provide a definitive analysis of the clash between these two high-quality, cutting-edge tank designs. It describes one of the key duels at the heart of a new type of warfare, in the epic battles at the outset of Hitler's conquest of France and the Low Countries.

  • Gbm : L’Index N° 1 Les 1000 Premières Pages
    Index DU N° 74 AU N° 85 INCLUS GBM : L’INDEX N° 1 LES 1000 PREMIÈRES PAGES Vous livrant cet index à entrées multiples (par personnalité, par corps de troupe, par lieu, par type de matériel), je vous dévoile toute la mesure du projet — devenu réalité — représenté par GBM tel que je l’ai imaginé dès son premier numéro, le 74. De fait, le résultat dépasse mes espérances. Tous les articles, tous les sujets, toutes les approches, se renvoient les unes aux autres de manière logique et organisée. Je vous invite, non pas à lire attentivement cet index — ce serait un pensum — mais à regarder, à tra- vers tel ou tel exemple de votre choix, la manière dont il est structuré et le résultat auquel il permet d’arri- ver en matière de recherche rapide et, aussi, de visualisation du propos. Il n’existe pas, du moins pas à ma connaissance, d’autre magazine papier sur un sujet-passion qui offre un tel maillage des sujets qu’il aborde. Il s’agit, au sens propre du terme, d’un réseau, d’une toile (un « net » ou un « web » pour parler globish) où chaque fil se croise et se recroise. Mais ceci ne serait qu’artifice de présentation s’il n’y avait autre chose, en amont, de beaucoup plus fondamental : une documentation tout à la fois plurielle et unique, réunion dans un même support du fruit des travaux profondément inédits d’une pléïade de chercheurs passionnés qui se vouent à l’étude de l’armée française, de ses hommes, de ses unités, de ses matériels.

Order Today at WWW.SQUADRON.COM or call 1-877-414-0434 Dear Friends, Now that we’ve launched into daylight savings time, I have cleared off my workbench to start several new projects with the additional evening light. I feel really motivated at this moment and with all the great new products we have loaded into this catalog, I think it is going to be a productive spring. As the seasons change, now is the perfect time to start something new; especially for those who have been considering giving the hobby a try, but haven’t mustered the energy to give it a shot. For this reason, be sure to check out pp. 34 - our new feature page especially for people wanting to give the hobby a try. With products for all ages, a great first experience is a sure thing!

In conjunction with the new Takom (pp. 3 & 27) kits, Squadron Signal Publications has introduced a great book about this fascinating piece of German armor (SS12059 - pp. 3). Author David Doyle guides you through the incredible history of the WWII German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther.
