Restock: T-72a – Main Battle Tank

T-72a - Main Battle Tank

About the T-72a – Main Battle Tank:

Designed to be a mass produced main battle tank, the Soviet T-72a first entered service in 1973 as an alternative to the T-64. Equipped with a 125 mm smoothbore gun and a maximum fire rate of up to eight rounds per minute, the T-72a has been used by nearly 30 countries worldwide. During the Russo-Georgian War in 2008 a large number of T-72s were used by both sides, and in 2014 during the War in Donbass pro-Russian separatists also deployed T-72s, although the Russian Government claimed plausible deniability in regards to supplying the separatists with tanks and other military supplies.

Restock: M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer

2214 Action Webcard

Designed for quick movement, this 75mm gun could be broken down into several pieces to enable ease of transport by simple wheeled carriages or pack animals when traveling over rough terrain. As period artillery was difficult and heavy to move, this gun’s mobility meant it could be deployed in operations where heavier artillery was impossible to use, namely amphibious and airborne missions. It was even deployed with British gliders during Operation Market Garden in 1944.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 6
  • Production: 5,000
  • Range: 5 mi (9 km)

Features:

  • Fully posable gun with elevating barrel

Restock: M5A1 Stuart – World War II Light Tank

M5A1 Stuart - World War II Light Tank

About the M5A1 Stuart – World War II Light Tank:

Another successful American tank design, the M5A1 Stuart was the result of extensive testing and refinement. The need for a reliable light tank became apparent to the US Army after the success of German blitzkrieg campaigns in 1939–40. As other European nations struggled to catch up with the German war machine, the United States began work in 1940 to replace the small M2 light tank.

The M5A1 was the second production model in the M5 family. Powered by dual Cadillac engines, this model began production around the time the United States entered the war in 1941. Much like the Sherman, the Stuart appeared in almost all theaters of the war. Armed with a 37mm gun, the Stuart was used primarily for reconnaissance and support, but it was used in combat against smaller Japanese tanks in the Pacific. Built in Detroit, Cadillac produced almost 7,000 Stuarts for the U.S. Army until June 1944 when it was replaced by the M24 Chaffee.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 4
  • Speed: 37 mph (60 km/h)
  • Range: 100 mi (161 km)
  • Engine: 2x Cadillac Series 42 V-8
  • Armament: 37mm M6 gun, 3x 7.62 machine guns
  • Radio: SCR 508

Features:

  • Custom-printed U.S. Tanker minifigure
  • BrickArms M1919 machine gun
  • 2x BrickArms short machine gun barrels
  • Brickmania single-wide black Track Links™

  • Opening rear engine compartment
  • Rotating turret
  • 1/35th scale to match other Brickmania models

Restock: Pak 40 – Anti-Tank Gun

Pak 40 - Anti-Tank Gun

 

About the Pak 40 – Anti-Tank Gun:

Designed shortly before the outbreak of World War II, the Pak 40 anti-tank project was shelved due to the lighting-fast success by the Wehrmacht. After Operation Barbarossa, the Pak 40 was immediately put into production with its battlefield debut during the battle for Kharkov in May 1942. The Pak 40 had a remarkably low silhouette, making it easy to conceal in spite of its size. The Pak 40 could defeat the heaviest Allied tanks up until the end of the war.

WWII US Fighting Seabee

About the WWII US Fighting Seabee:

When the US Navy began striding further towards the Japanese mainland, the need for quickly completed infrastructure became an immediate necessity. The answer was the new Construction Battalion or C.B.

Representing an essential part of the war effort in the South Pacific during WWII, the Brickmania Fighting Seabee minifig includes all the grit and determination necessary to complete the impossible on budget and ahead of schedule. Adorned with simulated chambray textured shirt and dungaree trousers, this minifigure also features US military web gear and a familiar face, Pilgrim.

Natasha - WWII Seabees Bulldozer

About Natasha – WWII Seabees Bulldozer:

Featured in the John Wayne classic The Fighting Seabees, the bulldozer named Natasha was part of the equipment used by the naval construction battalions known as Seabees — the nickname comes from the initials of their official designation: Construction Battalion or C.B. Born from the need for infrastructure on small islands in the South Pacific, the Seabees were tasked with various projects such as repairing airfields and roadways, all to be completed under the most difficult and dangerous of circumstances. Their ingenuity was legendary as they were known to fix equipment in unorthodox ways, including using oil drums to craft bulldozer radiators. Upon their creation, Admiral Ben Moreell bestowed them with their official motto Construimus, Batuimus: “We Build, We Fight.”

Additional information about this Brickmania® custom building kit:

Standing approximately 3 inches high and 5 inches long, the Brickmania Seabees Bulldozer includes a custom printed Seabees tile, detailed tractor engine, posable dozer blade, and adjustable controls, making it the perfect addition to any Pacific Theater construction MOC.

New Release: SB2C Helldiver – Carrier-Based Dive Bomber

SB2C Helldiver - Carrier-Based Dive Bomber

About the SB2C Helldiver – Carrier-Based Dive Bomber:

Replacing the SBD Dauntless in 1943 as the U.S. Navy’s premier dive bomber, the SB2C Helldiver sank more Japanese ships in the Pacific than any other Allied aircraft. Mostly launching from aircraft carriers, the plane’s wings folded up to form a triangle, making it capable of being stacked and stored which created more room for takeoff or landing and allowed more planes to be stored on airfields or carriers. Capable of carrying 2,000 pounds of bombs or a single torpedo in the internal bomb bay, the Helldiver’s ordnance payload made it a formidable opponent over sea or land.

Specifications:

  • Speed: 294 mph (473 km/h)
  • Range: 1,200 miles (1,931 km)
  • Crew: 2 (pilot and gunner)
  • Max. Takeoff Weight: 16,800 lbs (7,620 kg)
  • Wing Span: 49 ft (15 m)

Additional information about this Brickmania® custom building kit:

Featuring printed posable dive brakes, bomb bay doors, landing gear, and tailhook, the Brickmania SB2C is packed with lifelike functions. Loaded with rockets and built in a three-tone color scheme modeled after the Bombing Banshees, the model’s wings fold into the iconic triangle above the cockpit to allow for more space while stored on aircraft carriers. It also features a tail gunner reconfiguration to provide access to dual M1919s. The model has a 17 in (43 cm) wingspan, 12.8 in (32.5 cm) length, and 5.9 in (15 cm) height.

Model Statistics:

  • Designed by Cody Osell
  • 940 LEGO® and BrickArms® elements
