Coming Soon to Woodfield Mall!
We spent the weekend in Chicago, getting our newest store ready to open later this month and we decided to leave our Chi-Town friends with just a little taste of the awesomeness to come. Just 40 minutes west of Chicago, Woodfield Mall is one of the largest shopping destinations in the United States. The mall features nearly 300 stores, specialty shops and restaurants – and soon Brickmania will be one of them! In the meantime, head over to Schaumburg and check out our dioramas on display. You can view Vietnam (one of our most complex and intricate dioramas) as well as the Mighty-Mo (Mark I) featuring the battle camouflage pattern. This display can be found on the upper level near Sears, and our new store will be located on the lower level near JCPenny.
Stay tuned for more updates on our the Chicago store, opening later this month.
Panzer IV Ausf J in Ambush Camouflage – Limited Edition of 48 Kits!
Order your Panzer IV ausf J by May 15th and receive free shipping on your entire order (*restrictions apply, see below)!
The Panzer IV was the workhorse of the German armored forces during World War II, saw action across all fronts, and was continually upgraded throughout the war. Responding to developments in Allied armor, the Panzer IV Ausf G was the first variantt to be serially produced with the long-barrel KwK 40 L/43 75mm cannon. This new gun fired a high velocity shell capable of penetrating the armor of Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks encountered in Russia. Before production of the series ended, an even longer and more powerful KwK 40 L/48 gun was introduced. This gun remained the standard main armament on all subsequent models of the Panzer IV (Ausf G through J) and this configuration would have seen action in North Africa, the Mediterranean, Russia, and the Western Fronts.
This kit is based on the final iteration of the Panzer IV tank or Ausf J version, featuring the complex “Ambush” camo pattern. This includes removable spaced armor on the turret and side skirts on the hull sides. This model would be appropriate in any late WWII European battle scene from D-Day until the fall of Berlin.

The FlaK 38 was 2cm automatic cannon used by German anti-aircraft units throughout World War II. While designed for anti-aircraft use, its high rate of fire proved deadly against enemy infantry and thin-skinned vehicles. The FlaK 38 made prominent appearances in the movies Saving Private Ryan and Red Tails.
