In 1976, Sikorsky successfully secured a contract to develop a multi-role tactical transport helicopter, which would later be designated as the UH-60 Black Hawk (Sikorsky S-70). In 1979, the UH-60A was the first military version to enter service with the U.S. Army. The robust design of the helicopter features a four bladed rotor that can withstand hits from 23mm calibre bullets. Onboard equipment includes an active infrared-countermeasures system, a thermal decoy dispenser, and a radar warning. The troop compartment can accommodate up to 10 fully-armed soldiers or 6 wounded soldiers on stretchers.
The UH-60 has become the foundation for various aircraft models, including transport, special operations, electronic warfare, maritime multi-role, anti-submarine, and medical variants. The modular design of the UH-60 allows for simple transformations by changing armament and transport configuration, cabin gear, and other components. Kit No. 48362

Prior to February 2022, the Ukrainian military and security forces primarily operated Soviet-made helicopters, with the majority consisting of Mi-8 transport helicopters and Mi-24 combat helicopters. In February 2023 photos and videos revealed a helicopter that belonged to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence’s Main Intelligence Directorate. It featured an unusual blue and black livery, as well as Ukrainian identification markings. In spring 2024, the Main Intelligence Directorate’s combat aviation received another UH-60A Black Hawk painted in standard olive-green. The decals included with this kit include:

240 pcsThe Bristol Beaufort is a four-seat, twin-engine aircraft developed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, featuring a mid-wing configuration and an all-metal structure. The defensive armament consisted of a machine gun turret mounted on the fuselage sidewalls to fire sideways, and a machine gun mounted on the rear facing machine gun turret. The CADs show the kit parts
. The Bristol Beaufort was introduced to the RAF Coastal Command late in 1939 and began combat operations in April of 1940. The initial tasks included airmining sea harbours, daytime and nighttime torpedo strikes, and coastal bombing. The Mk.IA modifications introduced a new machine-gun turret and some aircraft were fitted with ASV radars for ship detection. The Bristol Beaufort saw extensive use in naval combat and bombing raids over German-occupied territory, but by around 1943, most British aircraft had been reassigned to training and auxiliary roles.

The KAMAZ truck, known for its robust design and reliable diesel engine positioned above the cab, was once a ubiquitous all-wheel-drive vehicle in the Soviet Army. Serial production of KAMAZ-4310 began in 1981 at Naberezhnye Chelny. The KAMAZ was the main transport chassis for the Soviet Army. It could be used to mount various superstructures or equipment. The KUNG body variants, with enclosed cabins to mount special equipment or transport personnel, were common. The K4320D is one example of this type of body. Today, KAMAZ trucks remain in service with the armed forces of several countries, including the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where they continue to prove their operational effectiveness.

The battleships (dreadnoughts) of the Konig class were built according to the German shipbuilding programme of 1911-1913. They joined the High Seas Fleet in the 3rd Battleship Squadron from August to November of 1914. The dreadnoughts’ reliable armor proved to be effective during naval engagements in World War I including the Battle of Jutland, late May 1916. The CADs of the kit. There are four of each of the sprues in the kit. As their main weaponry, they carried 10 305-mm cannons, each of which could fire 405-kg rounds at a distance of up to 18 kilometers. They were able to achieve speeds of up to 21 knots thanks in part to their propulsion system. The armoured belt on these dreadnoughts was 350 millimetres in thickness, which is one of the highest protection levels for ships of this class. The German High Seas Fleet used these dreadnoughts in almost all major battles during World War I.
