Add to Cart View # BKM2064A The P-40 Warhawk was a widely used American fighter aircraft of World War II designed and manufactured by the Curtiss-Wright corporation. Lend-Lease P-40s first saw service with British forces in North Africa, who dubbed the original version the Tomahawk and later improved variants the Kittyhawk. Designed primarily as a ground support aircraft, it was ruggedly built and performed well at low altitudes. It was a capable fighter in air-to-air combat, but not as nimble as many Axis fighters such as the Bf-109 and the A6M Zero. The Warhawk was used by Allied forces throughout the war and in all theaters of combat except northwestern Europe, where it was hampered by its poor high altitude performance. More than 13,700 P-40s of all types were manufactured during the war, making it the third most-produced American fighter aircraft (after the P-51 and P-47). Perhaps the most famous of all units to use the P-40 during the war was the 1st American Volunteer Group, who helped defend China against the invading Imperial Japanese Army before Pearl Harbor and official American involvement in World War II. Known as the Flying Tigers, the AVG famously painted the shark’s mouth design on all of their aircraft.

Add to Cart View # BKM2040b 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 fulfill 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.

Add to Cart View # BKM227B The Kübelwagen was a light utility car used by the German armed forces during World War II. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, it shared many chassis components with the Volkswagen Beetle. The Kübelwagen could carry four fully equipped soldiers on roads and overland thanks to it's light weight body, reinforced suspension and a self-locking differential. Its air cooled engine was reliable and easier to maintain in the field verses their more complex allied equivalents. More than 50,000 were manufactured during the war for the German armed forces. The Kübelwagen kit was originally released in 2010 and was the first Brickmania kit to sell more than 1000 copies. For a limited time we're bringing back this classic kit with the only change being the addition of a custom printed minifigure.

Add to Cart View # BKM245-2 (Second Edition) Of all the tank designs to reach a 20th Century battlefield, no other vehicle has attained such legendary and mythical status as the German Tiger heavy tanks. Backed up by undeniable battlefield effectiveness, the Tiger's mythos grew to legendary status and struck terror into the hearts of those faced with the challenge of defeating it. The origins of the Tiger tank date back to 1937, when a 30-35 ton heavy tank was discussed by German planners. The idea was dropped in favor of the more lightweight and mobile Panzer III and IV series, which proved adequately effective against allied forces in Poland and France. When Hitler turned his forces against Russia, they were soon shocked to be faced against the formidable T-34 tank (a closely guarded secret weapon up to that point). The Panzertruppe found themselves outgunned, and facing certain defeat, unless they were equipped with more powerful weapons. On Hitler's orders, a new 55 ton heavy tank was to be produced, armed with an adaptation of the deadly 88mm anti-aircraft cannon, and 100mm of frontal armor. The winning prototype was designed by Henschel and was ordered into production in July of 1942. While sequentially following the much sleeker Panther tank, the Tiger was clearly a throwback to earlier design work. Instead of sloping armor, the Tiger relied on shear brute strength of it's armor for protection. This simplified design helped speed the Tiger into production, although not without such innovations as a semiautomatic transmission, power steering (allowing the driver to steer with a wheel instead of a pair of brake levers), and a hydraulically powered turret. The Tiger made it's battlefield debut in September of 1942 and immediately proved effective at knocking out virtually any adversary well before itself was within effective range of opposing fire. The Tiger successfully served the Panzertruppe on all fronts on the European continent until the end of the war. The Tiger's near invincibility against any other allied armored vehicle instilled a fear known as "Tigerphobia" and reports of battlefield encounters with Tiger tanks were censored by British commanders to prevent panic amongst the troops. While the Tiger (and predecessor Tiger II) was undoubtedly one of the most formidable weapons present at any battle in WW2, only 2500 were produced due to it's enormous material cost. Even though it was one of the greatest tanks of all time, achieving an unequalled legendary status in AFV history, it never reached the battlefield in sufficient numbers to the turn the tide of the war. Although inferior in almost every aspect, the mass-produced medium tanks of the allies (Sherman and T-34) were deployed in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the limited number of German heavy tanks, even while suffering grievous losses to their own units. Additional information about this Brickmania custom Lego® kit: This is a re-release of our extremely popular (and equally as rare) Tiger I Ausf E premium custom kits (also numbered BKM245 but with different box artwork), originally released in early 2012.

Due to the severe rarity of certain elements, it is extrmely unlikely that we'll be able to make any future editions of this kit. Features of this model: Full 360° turret rotation and poseable main gun. Fully articulated tracks and realistic suspension. Four opening hatches for crewmen Detailed interior and engine compartment. Includes a BrickArms MG34 machine guns with buildable bullet chain Includes four custom printed Panzertruppen minifigs 1/35 scale matches other Brickmania models The over-all color scheme of this model is light gray Includes 954 LEGO and BrickArms elements.
