The Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien (飛燕, "flying swallow") is a Japanese World War II fighter aircraft. Used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service, it was designated the "Army Type 3 Fighter" (三式戦闘機)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ki-61

The P-51H (NA-126) was the final production Mustang, embodying the experience gained in the development of the XP-51F and XP-51G aircraft. This aircraft, with minor differences as the NA-129, came too late to participate in World War II

1/144 Soviet T34 76/85 by Victrix

 

1/144 Soviet T34 76/85 by Victrix

This set includes 6 superbly detailed 12mm/1:144 scale tanks 

As one of the most advanced tanks of its time, the T34 was known for its exceptional speed, manoeuvrability, and armour protection, making it a formidable weapon on the battlefield. With its revolutionary, sleek, sloping armour design, the T34 could deflect enemy fire. And with its 76.2mm gun and then up-gunned to the 85mm in 1944  It's safe to say the T-34 played a decisive role in driving back the German offensive and shaping the outcome of World War 2.

This kit is packed with tank riders and various tank commanders, providing options for T34/85, T34/76 and also the chKZ cast turret. We have also made two types of wheel configurations, the spoked and dished versions.  

£25.00
