Rommel’s AEC Mammoth, Classic Tiger I, and Iron Brigade
New Release Roundup for August 15, 2023
During World War II, Great Britain’s Associated Equipment Company produced numerous vehicles for the military based on the Mammoth series of heavy trucks. The most numerous of these vehicles were the Matador artillery tractor and its derivative Armored Command Vehicle.

About the Savoia-Marchetti SM. 79 ”Sparviero” – Italian WWII Torpedo-Bomber:
The Savoia-Marchetti SM. 79 ”Sparviero” (“Sparrow Hawk”) was a medium bomber widely used by the Italian Air Force in World War II. Originally designed as a fast passenger plane, the Regia Aeronautica (Royal Italian Air Force) ordered military versions to be use as transports and fast bombers. Its main distinguishing features were its three large radial engines and a prominent dorsal hump, containing both a forward-firing and rear-facing defensive machine guns. With a total production run of more than 1200 aircraft, it is one of the few Italian aircraft mass produced during the war, and easily the most recognizable.

In memory of Andriy Pilshchykov aka “Juice”
This has been a sad week for us when we learned of the passing of Andriy Pilshchykov (aka “Juice”) in a training accident. Juice was not only a fighting, flying soldier for Ukraine, but an international ambassador for support of the Ukraine Defenders. We were fortunate to get to “know” Juice when he helped us with the details of the “Ghost of Kyiv” minifigure and the continued support of our Ukrainian benefit projects thereafter. The passing of Juice reinforces the adage that the brightest stars burn half as long. So long and rest in power!
