Our first armor selection is the rarely done Pz IIIM. This one is from Admiral and Military Toyshop in the 1:72 scale for only $12.99.



Limited Release Die Cast Metal Comes with a Display Box. The weathering makes this tank look like it just rolled off the Eastern Front. These 1/72 Scale tanks are made of 90% metal.

About This Tank
Officially named the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B, the King Tiger was a formidable German tank weighing 69.8 tons. Entering production in mid-1944, it was armed with an 8.8cm KwK 43 L/71 gun and its frontal armor was up to 180mm thick. With such assets, this tank could easily prey on its less well-armed Allied opponents. However, its bulk and underpowered engine meant it wasn’t as effective in offense. Dragon Armor has launched a fantastic new fully built-up 1/35 scale model of a Tiger II. This is the very first Henschel production version of the King Tiger to feature in the larger-scale Dragon Armor range. The actual vehicle it is based on was a tank of sPzAbt 506 that fought in the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes in December 1944. Interestingly, this was the only Heer Tiger battalion to participate in the winter offensive.

Our final selection is not to be missed. In fact it's almost impossible to do so. From Spirit of '76, we have the Corgi 1:72 scale B-24D - 448 BG Assembly Ship - "You Cawn't Miss It" - The assembly ship provided a point of contact for the other Liberators, and so was often gaudily decorated. AA34007. Bring your dark glasses and $64.99.
