About the M3A1:
The M3A1 Half-track was the main troop transport vehicle for the US Army armored infantry during World War II and the Korean War. The M3A1 Half-track was designed to carry an entire rifle squad and their equipment (they would often tow a trailer with equipment, fuel, water or ammunition). The M3A1 was fitted with an armored “pulpit” mount for its M2HB heavy machine gun and had three pintle mounts for additional machine guns. The M3A1 was the most advanced version of personnel carriers of the M3 Halftrack family, of which more than 40,000 of all types were manufactured during World War II.

Restock: Panzer IV L/70
The Panzer IV/L70 was the final version of the Jagdpanzer IV series of tank destroyers, armed with the Panther’s deadly 7.5cm L/70 gun. The extra long barrel and extremely thick frontal armor necessitated solid steel road wheels on the first two bogies, replacing the usual rubber tires. This vehicle was issued to self-propelled tank destroyer units during the final months of the war. The three-tone camouflage scheme is typical of what would be seen on the Western Front in late 1944.

Restock: M1A1 75mm Howitzer on M7 Carriage
Designed shortly after World War I to replace existing light artillery pieces, the M1 75mm “pack” howitzer was a small artillery piece that could be broken down and transported by pack horses or mules. Not mass produced until the outbreak of World War II, several design improvements were added in 1940, with the new gun designated the M1A1 on M8 Carriage (replacing the original wooden-wheeled gun carriage). The lightweight field gun was mainly used to equip US Army airborne artillery battalions, but was also adopted for use by the US Marine Corps for its campaigns in the Pacific. While not as powerful as the more widely used 105mm howitzers, its small size made it more versatile and easier to transport over rough terrain.
Brickmania is please to introduce this M1A1 75mm Howitzer kit as part of its Campaign in the Pacific series of model kits..

Restock: M4 Sherman
The M4 Sherman was the workhorse medium tank of US and western Allied forces during World War II. Armed with a multi-purpose 75mm gun that could fire both high-explosive and anti-tank rounds, it ruled the battlefield when first introduced. Even though the Sherman would later prove inferior in firepower and armor to heavier German Panther and Tiger Tanks, it’s superior mobility, reliability and ease of manufacture proved to be a wartime winner.

Restock: SdKfz 251 + PaK 40 Ambush Camo
About the SdKfz 251 ausf D
The SdKfz 251 was Germany’s most versatile and widely used armored halftrack vehicle of World War II, often referred to as the “Hanomag” after the manufacturer’s name. The SdKfz 251 was used as the base model for more than 20 specialized vehicles, and underwent several refinements throughout production history. The Ausf D model was the final late-war version, notable for it’s boxy design that helped simplify the manufacturing process.
About the Pak 40
The Pak 40 was designed shortly before the outbreak of World War II, but the project was shelved due to the success of the German army in the early stages of the war. When more heavily armored tanks were encountered in Russia, Pak 40 production was immediately ordered. The Pak 40 made its battlefield debut during the battle for Kharkov in May 1942. the PaK 40 was bigger and more powerful than its predecessors in every aspect, although it still had a remarkably low silhouette, making it easy to conceal despite of its increased size. The Pak 40 could defeat the armor of all but the heaviest Allied tanks up until the end of the war.
Ambush Camouflage Edition
We have reproduced and updated these two classic Brickmania models in a special tri-tone “Ambush Camouflage” color scheme.
