Among the many armored cars developed by Germany in WWII, the
Sd.Kfz.222 is one of the most widely recognized. This light 4x4 vehicle
had a distinctive hull shape thanks to its welded construction, and
featured an open turret with mesh covers to protect the 3 crew members
against grenades and shrapnel. It was armed with a 20mm cannon and
7.92mm machine gun and its exceptional off-road capability made it an
excellent reconnaisance vehicle.
The Leopard tank with a combat weight of 40 tons, main armament of a
105 mm gun and maximum road speed of 65km/h is rated as one of the
strongest tanks in the world with excellent fire power, protection and
mobility. As a main battle tank, it is being used in seven countires
including West Germany, Holland, Italy and Belgium.
The M4 Sherman medium tank series was not only the main U.S. Army
armoured vehicle during WWII, it was the motive power that brought
victory for the allies during the conflict. With more than 55,000
produced in all variations, it was the most widely produced tank during
the war. The five major variants of the M4 to the M4A4 were designated
by the hull and engine used. The M4 used an angular shaped welded hull,
and the Continental R975-C1 radial aircraft engine. Although powerful
and proven, its high center propeller shaft gave the hull a tall
profile. Suspension was a rugged and simple design, known as VVSS
(Vertical Volute Spring Suspension), with three units (or bogies) on
each side, and each with two road wheels. The transmission was 5-speed
forward, plus reverse. Early production M4's had a 3-piece front
transmission cover, and a cast one-piece steel turret mounting a 75mm
main gun. For added protection, applique armour plates were added to
the turret, hull sides and just in front of the forward hull hatches.
Production of the M4 began in July 1942, five months later than the
cast hulled M4A1. It was first deployed during the Italian campaign in
May 1943. Although outgunned by the German Panzers, the M4's superb
reliability, mobility and superior numbers, compensated for the smaller
weapon. M4 Sherman tanks saw action on every front, from its
introduction in Italy, to the end of the conflict.

These spray paints were developed especially for decorating transparent polycarbonate bodies used in R/C car modeling. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is the appropriate amount for finishing the model.
Paint the body from the inside, keeping the can about 30cm from the surface. After curing apply another coat. Small details should be brush painted beforehand, using Tamiya bottle paints for polycarbonate.
These paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on gas –powered R/C bodies
2015 saw the debut of the 4th generation Mazda Roadster (MX-5), the
iconic car with a heritage dating back to 1989. This dynamic
lightweight car was made to amplify the thrill of driving, with a
punchy 1.5-liter (2.0-liter in North America) engine and 6-speed
transmission, while including modern must-haves such as advanced safety
equipment. Tamiya has faithfully captured the NEW roadster in 1/24
scale! Details include; option to choose left or right hand drive, soft
top in folded position and highly detailed interior.
These cans of spray paint are extremely useful for painting large surfaces. The paint is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is enough to fully cover 2 or 3, 1/24 scale sized car bodies.
Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints. Therefore following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or picked out using enamel and/or acrylic paints.
This is Tamiya's very first model of a WWI tank subject. This release
celebrates the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities in what
was then known as the Great War. The tanks which appeared in the
conflict were the first ever seen on the battlefield, and were the
forerunners of a whole line of military vehicles which is still being
developed further today. The Mk.IV tank was a successor to the Mk.I,
which was drawn up by British designers in attempt to break the
stalemate of trench warfare experienced on the Western Front; the
rhombus-shaped hull was designed to aid in crossing the extensive
network of trenches.
The Mk.I, first thrown into live action in September 1916 during the
Battle of the Somme, had "male" (fitted with 57mm, 6-pound guns) and
"female" (fitted only with machine guns) versions. Around 1,000 Mk.IV
tanks were manufactured after 1917, and they inherited their shape and
male/female weaponry and classifications from the Mk.I, but with
significantly upgraded armour. Around 400 were used massively in the
November 1917 Battle of Cambrai to great effect, and with the world
accepting the new vehicle's potential the maiden tank vs. tank battle
was not far behind: in 1918, the Mk.IV faced off against its German
counterpart the AV7.
The Tamiya model is highly accurate as extensive study of the tank was
conducted at the Tank Museum in Bovington, England.

The German Pz.Kpfw. III, along with the IV, played an active part in
the early stages of WWII as their main strength tanks. However when
they encountered the Russian KV and T-34 tanks on the Eastern Front,
the weakness of the Pz.Kpfw.III was revealed and the balance of power
tipped in favor of the Russians. Thus the pz.Kpfw. III underwent
constant improvement throughout its career to maintain an advantage.
The Pz.Kpfw. III had a number of types, from the A to N. Among them,
the Ausf. L was produced from July 1942. As it was manufactured at the
existing tank factory, the basic performance and structure were the
same as previous versions with a few modifications. Armament consisted
of an improved, long barreled Kwk50 L/60 tank gun, which was effective
against the Russian T34 tanks up to a range of 600m, plus two 7.92mm
MG34 machine guns. The armour of the front superstructure was increased
to 57mm in thickness, and a 20mm thick spaced armor was added to the
gun mantlet as well, which increased the tank's weight by 200kg. To
cope with the added weight, the suspension system was also
strengthened. The powerplant was a Maybach HL120TRM, V-12, water cooled
engine producing 300 horsepower. In total 635 Ausf. L's were produced
by the end of 1942, and many of them saw active service on the Eastern
Front and the North African Front. Although its roll was shortly
replaced by the Tiger I and the Panther, the durable chassis of the
Pz.Kpfw. III was used for self-propelled guns till the end of the war.

There is no better way to test the toughness of an automobile than by
entering it in the World Rally Championships (WRC). Rally cars are
engineered to race over paved, dirt and snow/ice covered roads at
breakneck speeds and in all kinds of weather. Success in these races
virtually guarantees sparking consumer interest in purchasing the
production car. Subaru understood this when they first entered the WRC
back in 1990. Their first contender, the Legacy was succeeded by the
more compact Impreza, which was imbued with two years of tested
technology. This sports sedan generated intense popularity among
consumers looking for a street car with the guts of a WRC contender. In
August 2000, a second generation of the Impreza was born. One of the
specially tuned versions of this car was the Impreza WRX STi (Subaru
Tecnica International). Its 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine adopts a
reinforced cylinder block, molybdenum coated steel pistons, high
capacity turbo and intercooler. The power of the STi version was
boosted to 280hp with a 38kgm maximum torque. This power is efficiently
transmitted to the four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission, also
developed by STi. The suspension adopts rally-proven 4-wheel struts,
ensuring a smooth ride over all kinds of road conditions. Blister style
over-fenders on the powerful four-door body and an enlarged air intake
on the hood give the Impreza WRX STi, as its name suggests, a truly
impressive appearance.

Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or air-brushing. These paints can be used on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly, and can be blended easily. Prior to curing, paint can be washed away with plain water.
When airbrushing make sure to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077.
X designated colours have a glossy finish while XF designated colours are flat finish.
The paint can be thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner.
The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish.
For better paint brushing results use Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) for a smoother brushstroke free finish.
This set is an essential tool for adding the final touches of detail for combat vehicles such as tanks. It is easy to apply and comes in three colors yellow, grey and green which will add to the modeling pleasure. The yellow can be used with WWII German vehicles instead of dark yellow. The grey comes in handy with German-grey colored vehicles and Japanese warships. And finally, green finishes off the set which is great for Allied forces vehicles which often used olive drab and dark green colors.
