Add to Cart View # BKM1009 The M102 105mm howitzer was developed as a repalcement for the World War II vintage M101 as the US Army’s main fire support artillery piece. The M102 was first used by combat troops during the Vietnam War, where it’s lightweight aluminum chassis and its rapid rotation swivel base proved it a worthy upgrade to its venerable forebearer. The lightweight of the new weapon meant it could be more easily handled by troops, but more importnaly it could be airlifted to remote fire support bases by helicopter or parachute dropped with airborne units. During the Veitnam War, the M102 was commonly transported by a CH-47 Chinook helicopter or towed behind a M35 6×6 Truck and in more recent times by the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter and HMMWV (“Humvee”) utility vehicle.

Add to Cart View # BKM407-2 The French 75mm Field Gun ("Matériel de 75mm Mle 1897") is widely considered to be the first modern artillery piece. Adopted by the French army in 1897, it was the first gun to be equipped with a hydro-pneumatic recoil system, which allowed the gun to be fired in place without re-aiming between each round. Other advanced features included a quick-operating screw breech mechanism and singe piece ammunition (warhead attached to a propellent-filled brass shell casing). A well trained 75mm crew could fire at the incredible rate of 30 rounds per minute. Originally designed to deliver shrapnel rounds against large infantry formations, the battle conditions of World War I saw the adaptation of high explosive and chemical warheads. In addition to being the main artillery piece of the French Army, more than 2000 were supplied to the American Expeditionary Force during World War I (officially named the M1897 in American service). There was also a truck-mounted anti-aircraft version of this versatile weapon. Modernized versions of the 75mm Mle 1897 saw combat during World War II. The 75mm Mle 1897 has the following features: Gun has variable elevation and the carraige includes a towing eye Includes one custom figure with cloth French Army Field Jacket by MMCB 1/35 scale to match other Brickmania models Includes 59 genuine new-condition LEGO and MMCB elements Sophomore Skill Level (2-4 years experience with LEGO is recommended) All Brickmania model kits are made of new-condition LEGO bricks.

Add to Cart View # BKM254 The Sturmgeschütz III (Ausf G) is a infantry support vehicle produced by Germany in World War II. The Sturmgeschütz III combined a Panzer III chassis with a fixed casemate and a powerful gun. Designed as mobile artillery to escort infantry attacks, the StuG III proved cheaper and quicker to produce than tanks and increasingly took on the anti-tank role as well. With more than 10,000 built, the StuG III was the most prevalent German armored fighting vehicle of the war. In action from December, 1942 until the final days of the war, the Ausf. G was by far the most common variant. It carried a high-velocity, long-barreled 7.5cm gun, capable of blasting both fortifications and heavy enemy tanks, as well as a shielded MG34 on the loader’s hatch. Many vehicles featured shot deflectors around the commander’s cupola as well. In summer 1943, armor plates, or Shürzen, were bolted on to protect the sides and tracks. Adding to the Ausf. G’s distinctive look was the Saukopf, or “Pig’s Head,” gun mantlet, designed with rounded edges to deflect incoming rounds. All Brickmania® model kits are made of new-condition LEGO® bricks.

Add to Cart View # BKM262 When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, much of existing light tank force was overwhelmed in the opening months of conflict and its surviving armor was found to be woefully under-armed against Panzer III and IV adversaries. As expedient measure to mount a more powerful weapon on an easy-to-product light armored hull, the effective Zis 3 76mm anti-tank gun was mated to an enlarged version of the T-70 light tank hull. Cheaper to produce than the similarly armed (but better armored) T-34 medium tank, the Su-76 and it's low profile, was perfectly suited as an anti-tank weapon. The gun's high elevation arc also made the SU-76 well suited for indirect artillery support with an impressive range of 17 kilometers. However, the SU-76's powerful gun, compact size, low ground pressure and small noise signature made it a truly valuable direct infantry support weapon. It was renowned for it's ability to traverse terrain impassable by heavier armored vehicles and was oftem used in supoort of lighting infantry assaults. After early problems were resolved in the automotive system, the SU-76 was loved by its crews for its simple layout and reliable performance, while also being hated for its spartan crew comforts and limited armor protection. The SU-76 was produced from 1942 through the end of World War II and was second only to the venerable T-34 inproduction totals T-34 with more 14,000 Additional information about this Brickmania custom Lego® kit: Brickmania's SU-76 model is based on the improved middle production series SU-76M version with an open fighting compartment at the aft of the vehicles. It also includes such details as functioning tracks, two opening hatches and poseable main gun. The model is made up of 464 new-condition Lego and BrickArms elements and includes one minifig.

Add to Cart View # BKM278 The SdKfz 250 was a light armored troop-carrying halftrack used by Germany during World War II. Its angular shape was similar in appearance to the larger SdKfz 251 "Hanomag" halftrack. This smaller vehicle used in roles where there was no need for a larger halftrack, such as scouting, forward artillery observers, headquarters, communications, etc. The "Neu" version featured a simplified hull, open top crew compartment, a single entry door at the rear of the vehicle, and was armed with a single MG42 machine gun with a shield int he front and anti-aircraft mount in the back. The SdKfz 250 was just beginning to reach frontline units as the invasion of the Soviet Union began, with production continuing until the end of the war, with over 6500 built in all.

Add to Cart View # BKM259 The P-51 "Mustang" was the answer to the Allied need for a long-range high performance fighter plane to escort heavy bombers deep over enemy territory. With a supercharged 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, high capacity external fuel tanks, and six .50 caliber Browning M2 machine gun, the P51 could hold its own against any fighters the Axis could muster all the way to and from the bombing target. The P-51 could also be configured to carry bombs and 5" rockets against ground targets, and was an effective fighter bomber in its own right. The P-51D was the most widely produced model of World War II and can be distinguished from earlier models by its bubble shaped canopy. The “Tuskegee Airmen” was the popular name of the 332nd fighter group, a group of African-American pilots who served in WWII. They were the first African-American aviators in the United States Armed Forces, a major accomplishment considering that many black Americans were still subject to Jim Crow laws and the American military was a segregated institution. The “Red Tail” moniker came from the fact that pilots in the 332nd would paint the noses, wingtips and rudders of their planes red.

Add to Cart View # BKM289 The DUKW (ubiquitously known as the "Duck") was a 2 1/2 cargo truck fitted with a boat shaped hull and a propeller for amphibious use during waterborne operations. DUKWs (designated by their GMC vehicle classification) was developed independently from the standard military procurement system in anticipation of waterborne invasions that would be a part of any American involvement in World War II. The DUKW was only reluctantly adopted by the US Army, who inititally did not see the need for such a craft. In practice, the DUKW proved an invaluable tool for bringing war material from ships to shore as well as saving thousands of lives by bringing back wounded soldiers to operating rooms in hospital ships off shore. Thousands of DUKWs were built during World War II and were used by the US Army, US Marines and Allied forces as well. Post-war advances kept the DUKW and active part of the military long after World War II and are still in use by some special forces troops today. Additional information about this Brickmania custom Lego® kit: The DUKW kit has the following features: Wheels for land use and prop for waterborne travel Open crew compartment with dashboard details Fold down "surf board" at the bow and winch at the rear Cargo area big enough for many figures or a Brickmania "Durabuilder" JEEP (As shown but NOT Included) Sturdy construction for active play 1/35 scale to match other Brickmania models.
