REF:350-041002 Scale 1:32

The M48 Patton was one of the U.S army's principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the early 1950s to the 1990s. The M48 was also Americas primary tanks during the Vietnam War. It was widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, especially other NATO countries including West Germany. The German variant the M48A2GA2 was an upgraded version with a 105mm L7 cannon and a different MG3 installation from the Leopard 1. It was still in service with the German Army until the early nineties.

The tank belongs to the Patton family of tanks, named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates for the use of tanks in battle. It was a further development of the M47 Patton tank.
The M48 Patton tank was designed to replace the previous M47 Patton’s and M4 Sherman’s. Although largely resembling the M47, the M48 Patton was a completely new tank design despite a rough similarity from a distance. Some M48A5 models served well into the 80s. Internationally, many various M48 Patton models remain in service. Available from die-cast-collector.

From Corgi’s aviation series Predators of the Skies Series 2 – Defining Missions is this 1:72 scale Limited Edition Junkers Ju87G-1 Stuka, Anti Tank Section, Briansk, Russia, April 1943. The first version of this famous plane, the Ju87A-1 saw action in 1937 with the Condor Legion in Spain. Joined in 1938 and 1939 by the later Ju87B, the Junkers dive-bomber attained greater notoriety than any other weapon which Germany launched in the Second World War. The Junkers Ju87 became synonymous with the abbreviation ‘Stuka’ from Sturzkampfflugzeug, a term descriptive of all dive-bombers. The Ju87G was the final version of the Stuka.

It abandoned the dive attack in favour of an armament of two 37 mm Rheinmetall-Borsig BK3,7 anti-tank cannons. Initially, the Ju87G was considered dangerous by its crews as the additional weight and drag of the wing guns adversely affected performance and handling. Produced in a Limited Edition of 3,760 pieces distributed worldwide, Corgi’s Predators Series 2 is guaranteed to be in high demand. This fantastic new series presents legendary predatory pilots and their aircraft, each model comes with a free Ace Pilots collector’s booklet.

There was a port for an F24 oblique camera behind and below the wing, and twin ports for an F52 stereo camera pair behind the bomb bay doors. There was a port in the front of each bomb-bay doors, with the bomb bay accommodating either an F24 stereo camera pair or a single K17 camera. This model comes with free UK postage.

REF:60112 Scale 1.72 Length 96mm

Dragon Armor’s 1:72 scale Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger (Porsche Version) model is depicted in the authentic markings of schwere Panzer Jaeger Abteilung as used in Germany during 1945. Dragon Armor carefully researches models to ensure that every detail is historically accurate – from the tooling to the realistic weathered camouflage scheme to the markings. This pre-assembled die-cast model is painted in an overall dark yellow scheme. Dragon Armor’s Zimmerit paste applied to the lower hull and superstructure enables a far greater level detailing to be achieved.

Designed as a tank buster, the Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger (German for 'Hunting Tiger') was based on the chassis of the Tiger II (King Tiger) tank. The Jagdtiger was the heaviest armoured fighting vehicle to reach production in World War II and suffered from the same problems as the King Tiger - an underpowered engine, frequent breakdowns and poor manoeuvrability – the Jagdtiger had a very narrow field of fire as the main gun had a traverse of only 10 degrees so the entire vehicle had to turn to aim anywhere else. 150 Jagdtigers were ordered, but only 88 were ever produced and of these, only eleven were produced with Porsche suspension (8 road wheels).

The Dragon Armor 1:72 scale series is a great scale to collect, with some plastic parts, the attention to detail is superb offering exceptional quality at a great price. Models are packaged in an acrylic display case. Length is measured for the body only and excludes the gun barrel.

The initial idea was for a vehicle that could be used to transport a squad of infantry to the battlefield protected from enemy small arms fire, and with some protection from artillery fire.
Variants were produced for specialized purposes, including anti-aircraft guns, rocket launching (with 3 large rockets fitted on either side of the vehicle) as well as a version with an infra-red search light used to spot potential targets for associated Panther tanks equipped with infrared detectors.

REF:IF741004 Scale: 1:200 Length: 350mm Wingspan: 295mm

Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide we were only able to acquire one of these incredibly rare models.

This stunning die-cast model is a replica of the famous Boeing 747 roll-out prototype. Featuring masses of detail including the accurately reproduced launch customer logos. Since the roll-out of the first 747, at Boeing's Everett facility on the 30th September 1968, this aircraft has been admired by millions around the world.
The first flight of the 747 took place on the 9th February 1969, chief test pilot Jack Waddell, co-pilot Brien Wygle and flight engineer Jess Wallick lifting the aircraft off at 11.34am on a 1 hour 16 minute maiden sortie.
The InFlight 200 747 is, in our opinion, as close as possible to the real thing. Featuring rolling tyres, turning nose wheels and rotating engine fans, aerials, and attention to detail. The detail on the 747-100 goes as far as showing the INS bump (Inertial Navigation System); this of course was later removed on the 747-200.

Inflight is proud to be considered one of the world's leading model manufacturers in 1:200 scale die-cast, and are constantly striving to set new standards with every new release.
InFlight 200 models are now licensed by major airlines around the world, for example Lufthansa, American Airlines and Qantas, to name but three. They are also in negotiations with other leading airlines that have expressed an interest in this amazing range of models.
On a recent visit to Boeing, the Inflight team took along samples of Inflight models, they were extremely well received, so much so that Boeing placed an order for the roll-out 747-100.
