About the Messerschmitt Bf 109

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the primary single-seat, piston engined fighter plane used by Germany during World War II. Developed in the 1930’s to fulfull the fighter / intercepter role, it incorporated all of the features that would be considered state-of-the art for World War II: an all-metal mono-plane with a fully enclosed canopy. The Bf 109 would see continual upgrades as technology advanced and it’s roles increased on the battlefield and in the skies. The Bf 109 K (“Kurfürst in the German phonetic alphabet of the time) was the final war-time iteration of Willy Messerschmitt’s fighter design and participated heavily in battles such as Operation Bodenplatte (Baseplate) during the Battle of the Bulge. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the most produced fighter aircraft design of all time and saw service for two decades after the close of World War II.

Last Chance for These Rare Brickmania Bundles and Kits

Pacific Insanity

We are down to just one Pacific Insanity Pack!  This pack contains the very last of the US Marines M2A4 Light Tank kits!  Everything you need to stage your very own Pacific island battle, including an exclusive Palm tree kit!

LVT-4

The LVT was a tracked amphibious vehicle crucial to the success of Allied landings in World War II. They were especially valuable in the Pacific campaign due to their ability to drive over dangerous coral reefs that formed natural beach obstacles.  The LVT-4 has a ramp at the hull rear, for rapid unloading of men and material (such as a JEEP or howitzer). It also has mounting points for up to four M2HB or M1919 machine guns.

291_PanzerIV_AusfGcover560

We have just two copies of the Panzer IV Ausf G kits left. The Panzer IV was the work-horse tank of the German armored force for the entirety of World War II. Due to it’s generous proportions and powerful Maybach engine, the Panzer IV was continually upgraded to keep it competitive with Allied armor improvements. The Ausf G model was the first Panzer IV to be factory equipped with the powerful, long-barrel KwK 40 L/43 75mm cannon. It made it’s debut in the waning days of the North Africa campaign and played a major role in Italian campaign and the Kursk offensive in Russia. From February 1943 onwards, all German armor was factory-delivered in the dunkle gelb (tan) color, but we very rarely offer kits in this color due to the extra cost of tan LEGO bricks. Get this rare kit while you can!

DShK

The DShK “Dushka” is the Russian equivalent to the American Browning M2 heavy machine gun. We made a limited run of the DShK in it’s convertible WW2 mounting, which can be set up in either an anti-ground or anti-aircraft configuration. This model is not as easy as it looks to put together – are you up to the challenge to save Mother Russia?

BKM2004b M1927

Talk about a score – we found one copy left of the M1927 Regimental Gun (Early Version) that was hidden away in the back of one of our display cases! Perfect for any Eastern Front dioramas or for anyone wanting to complete their collection.
