REF:350-041002 Scale 1:32

The M48 Patton was one of the U.S army's principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the early 1950s to the 1990s. The M48 was also Americas primary tanks during the Vietnam War. It was widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, especially other NATO countries including West Germany. The German variant the M48A2GA2 was an upgraded version with a 105mm L7 cannon and a different MG3 installation from the Leopard 1. It was still in service with the German Army until the early nineties.

The tank belongs to the Patton family of tanks, named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates for the use of tanks in battle. It was a further development of the M47 Patton tank.
The M48 Patton tank was designed to replace the previous M47 Patton’s and M4 Sherman’s. Although largely resembling the M47, the M48 Patton was a completely new tank design despite a rough similarity from a distance. Some M48A5 models served well into the 80s. Internationally, many various M48 Patton models remain in service. Available from die-cast-collector.

Corgi Stuka - Defining Missions -Eastern Front Ju87G-1, Anti-Tank Section, Briansk, Russia, April 1943. PR99407

REF: PR99407 Scale: 1:72 Length 154mm Wingspan 196mm New Tooling New Release

From Corgi’s aviation series Predators of the Skies Series 2 – Defining Missions is this 1:72 scale Limited Edition Junkers Ju87G-1 Stuka, Anti Tank Section, Briansk, Russia, April 1943. The first version of this famous plane, the Ju87A-1 saw action in 1937 with the Condor Legion in Spain. Joined in 1938 and 1939 by the later Ju87B, the Junkers dive-bomber attained greater notoriety than any other weapon which Germany launched in the Second World War. The Junkers Ju87 became synonymous with the abbreviation ‘Stuka’ from Sturzkampfflugzeug, a term descriptive of all dive-bombers. The Ju87G was the final version of the Stuka.

It abandoned the dive attack in favour of an armament of two 37 mm Rheinmetall-Borsig BK3,7 anti-tank cannons. Initially, the Ju87G was considered dangerous by its crews as the additional weight and drag of the wing guns adversely affected performance and handling. Produced in a Limited Edition of 3,760 pieces distributed worldwide, Corgi’s Predators Series 2 is guaranteed to be in high demand. This fantastic new series presents legendary predatory pilots and their aircraft, each model comes with a free Ace Pilots collector’s booklet. Collect 12 tokens from the 18 models in the Predators range to receive a free limited edition display wallet for all the pilot’s booklets. This quality die-cast model is a great addition to any collection. Available to buy from the die-cast-collector website.

REF: AA32814 Scale 1:72 Wingspan 230mm Limited Edition

The prototype for the "Mosquito Photo-Reconnaissance Mark I (PR.I)", with the tail code "W4051", performed its first flight on 10 June 1941.

There was a port for an F24 oblique camera behind and below the wing, and twin ports for an F52 stereo camera pair behind the bomb bay doors. There was a port in the front of each bomb-bay doors, with the bomb bay accommodating either an F24 stereo camera pair or a single K17 camera. This model comes with free UK postage. This stunning model is available to buy from the die-cast-collector website.
