These soldiers were the backbone of communist forces when they invaded South Korea in 1950. Allying themselves with China and the Soviet Union, these soldiers waged a short, brutal conflict against the UN-backed South. The Korean War would be the first of many conflicts during the Cold War. These soldiers still stand guard at the DMZ today, staring down their South Korean adversaries and preparing for the next conflict.

The Korean War North Korean Infantry has artwork based on Chinese fabric shoes, insulated jacket and pants, leather belt, captured Japanese T38 Ammo Pouches, Russian F1 Grenade Pouch, and captured Japanese canteen.

This Korean War North Korean Infantry features exclusive custom-printed artwork designed by Lando.

New Release: M46 Patton – Cold War Medium Tank

1026-Action-Webcard-710

About the M46 Patton – Cold War Medium Tank:

Considered the first “Main Battle Tank”, the M46 Patton was designed to replace the aging World War II-era M4 Sherman and M26 Pershing. When communist forces invaded South Korea in 1950, they fielded the iconic Soviet-built T-34/85. The United States responded with the Patton, packing a punch with a 90mm main cannon and three machine guns. The M46 was also better suited for the mountainous Korean terrain by having a better power-to-weight ratio than its predecessors. The M46 and its future generations continued to see use through the Vietnam War.

The M46 Patton was produced in small numbers (800+) compared to the mass tank production of the Second World War. An improvement on the underpowered M26 Pershing, the M46 had some limited success. Although designers updated the engine to better suit the tank, most causalities were still due to mechanical problems. Some of this may have been due to the rough terrain of the Korean Peninsula. In combat, the M46 was effective against enemy armor, facing World War II-era Soviet T-34/76 and T-34/85 in limited numbers. The Soviet medium tank had significant trouble against the much-heavier and better armed M46.

The M46 is often seen in popular culture with a “tiger” design on the front of the tank, an attempt at psychological warfare. Legend has it that this was intended to draw on superstition surrounding tigers by the Chinese. The M46 was also deployed with a dozer variant, allowing the tank to clear obstacles. After the Korean War, several M46’s were retained along the DMZ to help enforce the truce. Soon replaced by the much-improved M47 Patton, the remaining M46’s were used primarily across Europe for training purposes. The Patton line continued to see success serving as a main battle tank for the US military until it was replaced by the M1 Abrams in the 1980’s.

Specifications:

  • Engine: Continental AVDS-1790-5A V12 twin turbo, 800 hp
  • Speed: 30 mph (48 km/h)
  • Range: 80 miles (129 km/h)
  • Armament: 90mm M4A1 main cannon, 50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun, 2 x 30 caliber (7.62 mm) machine guns

Restock: Easy Eight – M4A3E8(76)W Sherman Tank

2051-promo-710.jpg

“Easy Eight” was the nickname for the final World War II production model of the famous American Sherman Tank. It’s official designation is the M4A3E8(76)W which denotes the following features: Welded steel hull, Ford GAA V8 gasoline engine, horizontal volute spring suspension, 23-inch wide tracks, 76mm main gun in a T-23 turret, and “wet” ammunition stowage. While never designed to battle heavy German armor, this model was far more capable than the original Sherman tanks rolled out just three years earlier. The “Easy Eight” was the only Sherman to remain in American service following World War II and it would see further action on the Korean Peninsula supporting UN forces. The “Easy Eight” was also the basis of the famous Israeli “Super Shermans” which saw action well into the 1970’s. More than 49,000 Sherman Tanks were built during World War II. Many thousands were distributed to the Allies through the Lend-Lease program.

Armed with a multi-purpose 75mm gun that could fire both high-explosive and anti-tank rounds, it ruled the battlefield when first introduced.

Restock: M42A1 Duster – Twin 40mm Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun

1020-Action-Webcard-710.jpg

About the M42 Duster:

The M42 “Duster” was a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that mated a twin 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft cannon on a modified M41 Walker Bulldog tank hull. Designed during the Korean War, the M42 saw extensive action during the Vietnam War although it was used primarily against ground targets and not in its intended anti-aircraft role. Essentially a giant twin machine gun, the M42 could fire 40mm high explosive shells at a rate of 240 rounds per minute, making this one of the most effect anti-personnel weapons of its day. The M42 was also equipped with one or two M1919 or M60 machine guns for close-up self-defense. It was often used in a convoy protection role and was exceptionally well suited for base parameter defense. The M42 was fielded by American and Allied forces throughout much of the Cold War, but was phased out of service in most countries during the 1970s and 80s.
