About the USS Johnston Fletcher-class Destroyer:
One of the most prolific destroyers of all time, the USS Johnston earned her fame during the Battle off Samar. Despite being heavily outgunned, the USS Johnston and her small carrier task force, designated Taffy 3, took on a Japanese Center Force of four battleships, seven cruisers, and no less than twelve destroyers in the Leyte Gulf. Leading the attack was the USS Johnston, who helped sink the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano and then went toe-to-toe with the pride of the Japanese fleet, the 65,030-ton battleship Yamato and her escort of destroyers. Fighting until completely dead in the water, just 141 of the Johnston’s crew of 327 survived the engagement.
The recipient of six battle stars for service in World War II, the Johnston also received the Presidential Unit Citation, and her Commander, Ernest E. Evans, received the Medal of Honor. Forever cementing the Johnston’s legacy as one of the bravest ships in the history of the United States Navy.

OPEL BLITZ – LIGHTWEIGHT TRUCK ACCESSORY
Restock: Easy Eight – M4A3E8 Sherman Tank
About the Easy Eight – M4A3E8 Sherman Tank:
The name “Easy Eight” was the nickname for the final World War II production model of the famous Sherman tank. While never designed to battle heavy German armor, this model was more capable than the original Sherman tanks rolled out three years earlier. The Easy Eight contained key critical upgrades including a longer, high velocity 76mm gun and better armor. The nickname “Easy Eight” comes from the final two letters in its military designation, M4A3E8, which indicated an improved and heavier suspension system designed to deal with the extra weight of the new gun. This was effective at navigating the uneven terrain of the Ardennes Forest when in combat with intimidating German heavy tanks during the Battle of the Bulge.
The Easy Eight was the only Sherman to remain in American service following World War II, deployed in Korea until the development of the M46 Patton. The Easy Eight was also the basis of the famous Israeli “Super Shermans” which saw action well into the 1970s.
Specifications:
- Crew: 5
- Engine: Ford GAA 8-cylinder gasoline
- Speed: 23 mph (37 km/h)
- Range: 109 mi (175 km)
Armament: 76mm high-velocity gun, .50 caliber Browning M2, 2x .30-06 caliber machine guns
Features of the Easy Eight – M4A3E8 Sherman kit include:
The Brickmania team has updated our ever-popular Easy Eight kit with several new features. Significant upgrades include the addition of new custom weapons from BrickArms: new extra-long Easy Eight Gun Barrel, Easy Eight Muzzle Brake, and a Short .30 Caliber Machine Gun Barrel with Ball Joint. This model retains its smooth-running tracks, functional suspension, rotating turret, and four opening crew hatches. It also comes with the iconic BrickArms M2HB machine gun as standard equipment. A perfect addition to this kit would be one or more WW2 US Tanker minifigures (sold separately). For those looking to add an extreme flair to your Easy Eight model, we have also created the M4A3E8 Hollywood Add-On Pack.

Restock: M4 Sherman – Allied Medium Tank (2018)
About the M4 Sherman:
Perhaps the best known Allied tank during World War II, the M4 Sherman was designed to replace the M3 Lee. Named for the eccentric Union General William T. Sherman, the Sherman medium tank was mass produced to help offset better-armed German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther. The American war machine produced over 50,000 Sherman tanks between 1941 and 1945.
The Sherman chassis was used for several dozen different variants. Among these variants, several were specialized for mine clearance, rocket battery, or as a self-propelled howitzer. The standard M4 Sherman was equipped with a Continental R975 gasoline-powered engine and could achieve a top speed of 21 miles per hour. Stock Sherman examples were armed with two machine guns and a 75mm cannon, the Sherman could handle all but the heaviest German tanks. Although they struggled against German armor, the Allies found success in overwhelming the slower German tanks by often deploying five or more Sherman tanks against the same target.
The Sherman was also deployed during the Korean War but was eventually replaced by the M46 Patton.
Specifications:
- Engine: Continental R975 C1 radial petrol
- Speed: 21 mph (34 km/h)
