M7 Priest Tank
Mobile, Reliable, Hostile
During the early days of WWII the U.S. Army was having some success moving the 105mm howitzer with half-tracks. In order to bring the big gun into even more difficult terrain, the M7 full-track tank was developed. Powered by a 350hp. Continental engine, it became the Armys principle mobile artillery system. Its pulpit like structure for the machine gun gave it the “Priest” nickname. 3490 were built. The M7s mobility and reliability overcame its two main shortcomings- the crew was exposed from the top and the two weapons had very limited side-to-side arc of fire.

WWII U.S. M3A1 Halftrack
Half-Tracks Needed at Full Speed
Although the land war in Europe was dominated by the firepower of tanks, both the U.S. and Germany used lighter half-tracks to move troops, tow weapons and provide reconnaissance. As with almost every type of vehicle in WWII, the Germans had superiority in quality and numbers to start the war, but American know-how and ingenuity overcame this advantage by mid-war.
M3A1 A successor and improvement on the M2, the M3A1 was mainly used for armored reconnaissance and troop movement. Its 6-cylinder White 160AX engine provided 147 horsepower and speeds up to 45 mph. A .50 machine gun on a ring mount, full length mine racks on both sides, and 1/4" thick armor provided protection. This Legends collection replica includes rollers, side mounted guns and a realistic muddied look.

Precision-Engineered From Original U.S. Navy Dies—Features Solid Die-Cast Metal Parts—Full Armament—Official Navy Insignia—Actual Battle-Ready Color Schemes
Here in this inspiring limited commemorative edition—every last feature, every last intricate component is finely detailed in precise scale ratio: The massive front and rear gun turrets bulging with their nine 16-inch guns and 2,700 pound shells—the 129 smaller guns and anti-aircraft batteries firing off over 10,00 rounds a minute—the multi-directional radar antenna—the console- equipped command decks—the giant screw propellers—the fighters and torpedo planes on the flight decks—the below-deck plane elevators—why even the anchors, in exact scale—and each and every ship in a baked-enamel finish as fresh and perfect as the day it first launched to sea.

Revell 1:48 Junkers JU87D Stuka
The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a two-seat (pilot and rear gunner) German ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, the Stuka first flew in 1935 and made its combat debut in 1936 as part of the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War.
The aircraft was easily recognizable by its inverted gull wings, fixed spatted undercarriage and its infamous Jericho-Trompete ("Jericho Trumpet") wailing , becoming the propaganda symbol of German air power and the Blitzkrieg victories of 1939-1942. The Stuka's design included several innovative features, including automatic pull-up dive brakes under both wings to ensure that the plane recovered from its attack dive even if the pilot blacked out from the high acceleration. Although sturdy, accurate, and very effective, the Ju 87 was vulnerable to modern fighter aircraft, like many other dive bombers of the war. Its flaws became apparent during the Battle of Britain; poor maneuverability, lack of speed and defensive armament meant that the Stuka required a fighter escort to operate effectively.

Revell 1:48 P-51D Mustang
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft. Designed, built and airborne in just 117 days, the Mustang first flew in RAF service as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before conversion to a bomber escort, employed in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944. The P-51 was in service with Allied air forces in Europe and also saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter, but was relegated to a ground attack role when superseded by jet fighters early in the conflict. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
As well as being economical to produce, the Mustang was a fast, well-made, and highly durable aircraft. The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650, a two-stage two-speed supercharged version of the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and was armed with six .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns.
After World War II and the Korean War, many Mustangs were converted for civilian use, especially air racing. The Mustang's reputation was such that, in the mid-1960s, Ford Motor Company's Designer John Najjar proposed the name for a new youth-oriented coupe automobile after the fighter.
