Restock: LeFH 18/40 – 10.5cm Light Howitzer

LeFH 18/40 - 10.5cm Light Howitzer

About the LeFH 18/40 10.5cm Light Howitzer (Ambush Camo):

Born from the German Army’s need for a lighter, more transportable howitzer, the 10.5 cm LeFH 18/40 first saw action in 1942 and continued service until the end of the war in 1945. Featuring a double-baffled muzzle brake, the LeFH 18/40 barrel and gun mount connected to a two-wheeled trailer with a split trail leg recoil system that doubled as a tow leg while in transport. Crewed by four to six soldiers, the LeFH 18/40 was capable of firing six to eight rounds per minute, with an effective range of nearly 14,000 yards.

Restock: Panzer III Ausf. E – German Medium Tank

Panzer III Ausf. E - German Medium Tank

About the Panzer III Ausf. E – German Medium Tank:

The workhorse of early German conquests, the Panzer III provided the necessary speed and armament for blitzkrieg tactics. Mobilized by Erwin Rommel’s Afrikakorps, the Panzer III (and its variants) remained the most numerous German tank during the North African campaign. It also played a key role during the invasion of France and the Low Countries in 1940. Although underpowered against French and British tanks, the sheer concentration of armor against thinly deployed Allied tanks allowed the smaller Panzer III to overwhelm Allied armor units.

The Ausf E variant served as the standard for future models beginning with the Ausf F. The chassis for this tank would also serve as the basis for the StuG III Ausf G tank destroyer.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 5
  • Armament: 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/46.5 or 5 cm KwK 38 L/42, 3x 7.92mm MG34
  • Engine: Maybach HL 120 TR V12 gasoline
  • Speed: 24 mph (40 km/h)
  • Range: 102 mi (165 km)

Features of the Panzer III:

Brickmania’s Panzer III Ausf E kit is designed to represent the standard medium gun tank used by the German forces during the early years of World War II, wearing the colors of the famed Deutsches Afrikakorps. The kit includes fully articulated Brickmania Track Links™, a rotating turret with elevating 37mm high velocity gun, and opening hatches for the vehicle commander. It also includes a hull-mounted MG34 Machine Gun from BrickArms, and a sticker set with national insignia, turret numbers and the DAK logo. The Panzer III Ausf E kit was designed specifically with a number of add-on pack upgrades in mind, and can also be customized by the builder.

Restock: Panzer IV Ausf G – German Medium Tank

Panzer IV Ausf G - German Medium Tank

About the Panzer IV Ausf G – German Medium Tank:

In combat, few German tanks saw as much action as the Panzer IV. While the Panther and Tiger often grab the attention of history enthusiasts, the Panzer IV’s development and participation in World War II is unrivaled. The chassis for the Panzer IV served as the base for over a dozen different models outside of its own development, including tank destroyers, command vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and anti-aircraft guns. Developed in 1937 as part of Germany’s rearmament efforts, the Panzer IV participated in the invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.

The first Panzer IVs were designed as infantry support vehicles. Armed with a short 7.5cm KwK, the tank excelled against infantry and fortifications. It proved extremely effective during blitzkrieg, forcing the French to surrender in summer 1940.

As the short barrel proved ineffective against enemy armor in Russia and North Africa, the Ausf G (sometimes referred to as the F2) variant was the first Panzer IV to be equipped with the longer, high velocity 7.5cm main cannon. This gun allowed the Panzer IV to engage other medium tanks such as the Sherman and T-34. The upgrade helped make the Panzer IV a top contender for the duration of the war until 1945.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 5
  • Armaments: 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/43 gun, MG34 machine gun
  • Engine: Maybach HL 120 TRM V12 gasoline
  • Top Speed: 26 mph (42 km/h)
  • Max Range: 130 mi (210 km)
  • Production: 1,700 (1942–1943)

Features:

  • Fully-articulating Brickmania Track Links™
  • Fully-rotating turret with posable main gun
  • Three opening hatches on the turret
  • Custom-printed Panzer Commander minifigure
  • BrickArms® MG34
  • 1/35th scale to match other Brickmania models

M29 Weasel - Cargo Carrier

About the M29 Weasel – Cargo Carrier:

Introduced in 1942 as an all-terrain vehicle capable of handling everything from loose sand to deep snow, the M29 Weasel saw action throughout World War II and into the Korean and Vietnam wars. The vehicle’s initial development was a result of Operation Plough, which was intended to be an assault behind enemy lines into Norway to disrupt the German atomic weapons program. The operation would’ve required small teams to be quickly transported across deep snow, and thus led to the creation of the M29. Despite the operation never coming to fruition, the M29 was still used effectively in every theater of World War II.

Specifications:

  • Speed: 36 mph (58 km/h)
  • Crew: 4

About the T-64A – Soviet Main Battle Tank:

First entering production in 1967, the T-64A included several upgrades from the T-64, most notably the main gun and gill armor plating along with the side skirts.

This marked the first of the Soviet MBTs to make use of a mechanical autoloader.

  • Crew: 3
  • Range: 700 km (434 miles) with external tanks

Restock: WWII German Medic

WWII German Medic

About the WWII German Medic:

Field medics during World War II regularly entered intense combat zones, risking their own lives to save those of their fellow soldiers. Due to dwindling numbers of trained physicians late in WWII, many German Army medics operated alone or in two-man teams, sometimes even in conjunction with Allied field medics during brief truces after especially bloody combat.

The Brickmania WWII German Medic features a 360-degree UV printed white medic’s chest bib, along with medic’s pouches and pistol holster over a historically accurate “feldgrau” uniform commonly found in the German Army, using color matching print techniques pioneered by our print department. This custom figure also includes a printed medic arm brassard and helmet.

SdKfz 251 Ausf D - German Half Track Three-In-One Kit

About the SdKfz 251 Ausf D – German Half Track Three-In-One kit:

SdKfz 251/1: First produced in early 1943, the SdKfz 251/1 Ausf D was the standard half track armored personnel carrier for the German Army in World War II. Equipped with dual MG42s, over 10,000 of the Ausf D models were built from 1943 to 1945 and were often used to tow the 10.5 cm LeFH 18 light howitzer, along with other field artillery.

SdKfz 251/9: Nicknamed the “Stummel”, which is German for stump, the SdKfz 251/9 Ausf D variant featured a 7.5 cm howitzer mounted on the roof, along with a coaxial MG42.

SdKfz 251/10: The command variant of the 251 Ausf D featured a 3.7 cm Pak 36 anti-tank gun for added artillery support. During initial production, the 251/10 mounted the entire top half of a Pak 36 gun shield on the roof, but this was later changed to better conceal the 251/10’s added firepower.
