TAM32599, Tamiya 1/48 Russian T34/85 Medium Model Tank Kit
The Tamiya Russian T34/85 Medium 1/48 Model Tank Kit recreates the T34/85 Russian medium tank into the 1/48 Military Miniature Series! The T34/85 was a re-evaluation of the trusty T34/76 that had run into trouble against powerful German foes like the Tiger I and Panther. It had a larger, heavier-armored turret with 85mm gun, and was manufactured from January 1944. As the tide turned and the Allies pushed back Axis forces, the T34/85 played a significant part in Operation Bagration (Summer 1944) and the advance on Berlin in April, 1945. 25,000 were produced by 1946, and it even served other militaries in the Warsaw Pact and was also exported to client states, taking part in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

TAM32600, 1/48 German Self-Propelled Heavy Anti-Tank Gun
This is a highly detailed model of the WWII German tank destroyer Nashorn. The German Army developed self-propelled anti-tank guns in order to counter the overpowering Russian T-34 and KV tanks, and the Nashorn had particularly overwhelming power among the many anti-tank guns produced. The production started in February 1943, and the Nashorn sported an L/71 8.8cm Pak43/1 gun which was capable of penetrating armor from a long distance. At the Italian Front, the Nashorn knocked out an M4 Sherman at 2.8 kilometers, and its excellent firepower was indispensable to the German forces until the end of WWII.
Suspension and hull sides are accurately depicted
Moving main gun features realistic elevation/depression and traverse
Includes plate weights to give the model a realistically heavy feel
Comes with one figure in winter uniform looking into binoculars
