The PaK 36 3.7cm Anti-Tank gun was the standard anti-tank weapon used by the German Army at the beginning of World War II. Its low profile and high velocity, armor-piercing shell made this the ideal weapon for knocking out just about anything on the battlefield. Developments in Soviet armor would make this gun obsolete within the first year of the war in Russia.

About the A-10 Warthog:

The A-10 is the United States Air Force’s premier close-air-support ground attack aircraft. Postwar analysis of the Vietnam conflict showed a severe shortage of modern close-support aircraft is the US inventory. The A-10 was built around the lethal GAU-8 “Avenger” 30mm gatling gun, which was specifically designed as an airborne tank-killing weapon. The A-10 incorporates many other design features that help make this one of the most potent ground attack aircraft of all time. These include a titanium armored “bathtub” for the pilot, multiple redundancies to flight control mechanisms, fuel efficient turbofan for prolonged loitering in the battle zone, and a huge 16,000 pound bomb load (more than twice the capacity as the WWII era B-17 Flying Fortress). The A-10s was designed primarily in the anti-tank role.

It wasn’t until Operation Desert Storm that the A-10 saw its first combat missions. The A-10 was credited with destroying more than 4100 Iraqi vehicles and artillery pieces. The A-10 also saw service in the Balkans conflict, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the war in Afghanistan. A plan to retire the A-10 fleet has been permanently postponed by the Air Force until a suitable replacement is available.

Brickmania’s A-10 Warthog was designed by Daniel Siskind and follows the same tough design philosophy as the original aircraft. The model is big, but durable, and has a lot of cool play features. These include moveable flaps and airbrakes, opening canopy, and folding landing gear. Brickmania designers Yitzy Kasowitz and Cody Osell each contributed small refinements to the model (like a functional “Ejection Seat”), as well as creating a whole host of extra armaments and the JS-1 bomb loader, for which instructions are provided (sorry, you’ll have to dig up the parts for these optional extras).

The mortar has been an essential piece of artillery equipment in combat situations. The use of indirect fire provides support to advancing troops. As warfare has become more fluid and mobile, the need for squad-portable mobile artillery increased dramatically. In the early 20th century this technology evolved into what we commonly know as the modern mortar. This generally consists of a small rocket-propelled explosive projectile, a launch tube, support base, and aiming bipod.

Brickmania is pleased to introduce an all-new deluxe mortar pack, containing our previously released heavy mortar, plus a custom printed BrickArms crate (printed same on both sides) and prototype BrickArms mortar shell.

About the Starship Bridge:

The bridge is the nerve center of any interstellar ship, providing the captain and officers with control over the craft. In a mission of exploration, a split-second decision could mean the difference between life and death for the ship and its crew. The command bridge is designed with maximum efficiency in mind, placing the captain’s chair in the center of the room. This placement also allows the captain a clear view of the main viewscreen at the front of the bridge.

The bridge provides the captain and support staff with all the necessary information in any navigational, tactical, scientific, or security situation. Several command stations and consoles are often crewed and monitored by a variety of trained officers and professionals.
