Surprisingly the design was accepted by the Red Army as the T-26 before development and testing had been fully completed.<br /><br />The main armament consisted of two ball-mounted 7.62mm DT machine-guns mounted in twin turrets. To avoid potential disasters, the rotation of the turrets was limited to 265°. Armour protection consisted of up to 15mm, enough to protection the three-man crew from small arms fire and shell splinters but little else.<br /><br /><em>Designed by Evan Allen<br />Painted by Victor Pesch</em></td></tr>

The T-26 obr 1933 light tank started life as a copy of a British tank design, but by 1939 it was one of the most common tanks in the Red Army. It is fitted with a cylindrical turret armed with a powerful 45mm gun. Its main role was to support the infantry where its dual purpose gun was equally effective against tanks, guns, and infantry.<br />

Light Tanks</div>
The first thing required by the theorists was a breakthrough of the enemy front line. The idea was that massed light tanks would advance with the infantry, destroying enemy machine-gun nests and pinning down the enemy riflemen, allowing the infantry to capture the enemy trenches. This required a relatively cheap and simple design that could be fielded in large numbers. Fortunately, the Vickers-Armstrong company were offering exactly such a design with their 6-ton Type E tank.</td></tr>

The Red Army bought some samples from Vickers and then proceeded to produce an unlicensed copy called the T-26. The first production model of 1932 (obr 1932) was a twin-turreted design with two side-by-side machine-gun turrets. While this seemed like a good idea at the time as it appeared to give the tank twice as much firepower, it quickly became obvious that the difficulties in coordinating two turrets and a driver actually reduced its effectiveness.</div>
<div class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">
The second model (obr 1933) was more conventional with just a single turret mounting a 45mm gun and a coaxial machine-gun. Typical of Soviet tank design, the 45mm gun was one of the most powerful tank guns in the world at the time. The original Vickers design mounted a low-velocity 47mm gun. While this was as effective against machine-gun nests, its anti-tank performance was woeful, especially compared with the Soviet gun.</div>

The Kht-130 Flame Tank</div>
<div class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">
As well as a conventional gun-armed tank, the Soviet Union also created large numbers of flame-thrower tanks, nearly 10% of the entire production run. These KhT-26 and KhT-130 ‘chemical’ (hence ‘Kh’) tanks were fielded in full battalions to add even more punch to assaults on critical positions.</div>

<span class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">As befitted its infantry support role, the T-26 wasn’t much faster than an infantryman and its armour was bulletproof, but not much else. While not exactly desirable attributes, they did make it cheaper and easier to produce allowing the Soviet Union to manufacture over 10,000 of them — more than the total of all other armies’ tank production up to that point.</span></td></tr>

These called for tank and cavalry forces to advance rapidly to take objectives up to a hundred kilometres (sixty miles) or more behind the front, surrounding the enemy and destroying them. For this role the Red Army looked at a tank designed by an American, Walter Christie, and like the T-26, built unlicensed copies in huge numbers as the BT series of fast tanks.</span><br /></span><a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79&ProductID=5374" style="color: #5f0000; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Check out the BT-7 Fast Tank Company in the online store here...</a> </td></tr>

Its mobility came from a novel suspension system of large rubber-shod road wheels mounted on long coil springs. This allowed the wheels to absorb he shock of high-speed cross country travel, and when the tracks were removed, allowed the tank to drive at high speeds on roads. While an interesting idea, the impracticality of taking the tracks on and off the tanks in a combat situation meant that they never tried it in action.<br /><br />The second model (obr 1933) was more conventional with just a single turret mounting a 45mm gun and a coaxial machine-gun. Typical of Soviet tank design, the 45mm gun was one of the most powerful tank guns in the world at the time. The original Vickers design mounted a low-velocity 47mm gun. While this was as effective against machine-gun nests, its anti-tank performance was woeful, especially compared with the Soviet gun. </td></tr>

<tr><td><span class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">The BT-7 fast tank was an improvement of the BT-5 design. It fitted a redesigned slopped turret, a welded hull and a more powerful engine. The overall effect was increased armour, while the tank remained as manoeuvrability as the earlier model. It also retained the excellent 45mm obr 1938 gun, giving it plenty of anti-tank punch!</span><br /><span class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /><em>Designed by Evan Allen<br />Painted by Mark Hazell</em></span></td><td class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;"><img alt="BT-7 Fast Tankovy Company (SBX20)" border="1" height="180" src="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/all_images/Soviet/Boxes/SBX20b.jpg" title="BT-7 Fast Tankovy Company (SBX20)" width="300" /></td></tr>

The BT-5 fast tank was the first in the BT series of tanks to introduce a larger turret to accommodate the exceptional 45mm obr 1938 gun. This gun out-matched almost all of the Soviets enemy’s tanks guns, and when combined with the excellent manoeuvrability of the BT fast tank design it made for an effective weapon.<br />

Fast Tanks</div>
Once the Soviet infantry had broken through the enemy lines, deep operations began. These called for tank and cavalry forces to advance rapidly to take objectives up to a hundred kilometres (sixty miles) or more behind the front, surrounding the enemy and destroying them. For this role the Red Army looked at a tank designed by an American, Walter Christie, and like the T-26, built unlicensed copies in huge numbers as the BT series of fast tanks.</td></tr>

The thing that made the Christie design attractive for this role was its speed, both cross country and on roads. Its mobility came from a novel suspension system of large rubber-shod road wheels mounted on long coil springs. This allowed the wheels to absorb he shock of high-speed cross country travel, and when the tracks were removed, allowed the tank to drive at high speeds on roads. While an interesting idea, the impracticality of taking the tracks on and off the tanks in a combat situation meant that they never tried it in action.</div>
<div class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">
One of the other implications of being a light, fast lank was the requirement to keep weight down and thus the armour light, lighter even than the T-26. One area the Red Army didn’t skimp though is the armament — the BT-5 mounted the same powerful 45mm gun and coaxial machine-gun as the T-26. </div>

However, this was later changed to a horizontal sliding design in order to speed up the reloading process. Along with the typical high explosive (HE) round, the Type 38 could also fire an armour-piercing, shrapnel as well as other tactical ammunition such as an illumination round. While considered obsolete by the standard of the times; the Type 38 saw service against the Soviets and during the war in the Pacific against the Americans.<em><br /><br />Figures designed by Gary Morley<br />Gun designed by Tim Adcock<br />Painted by Andrew Agutters</em></td></tr>

However, the request for a longer range weapon led to the design of the M31 which had a maximum range of 4325 metres compared to the 2800 metres of the M30. This payload was delivered from a metal framework mounted on the chassis of a Studebaker US6 truck.<br /><br />Each rocket was armed with a 28.9kg warhead and when combined on mass, the BM-31-12 proved extremely effective during the closing stages of the war in particular during the fierce street fighting during the Battle of Berlin.<em><br /><br />Launchers & Crew designed by Evan Allen<br />Bases & Scenic Plugs designed by James Brown<br />Painted by James Brown</em></td></tr>

In addition, the Fokker CX could carry a payload of two 175kg bombs or four 100kg bombs.<br /><br />During the Second World War, the Fokker CX briefly saw action with the Dutch Air Force. However, it was the in the Finnish Air Force where it served with the most distinction. Despite facing the might of the Soviets, the determination, skill and courage of Finnish pilots allowed them to hold their own regardless of their limited resources.<br /><br /><em>Aircraft designed by Evan Allen<br />Flight stand designed by Casey Davies<br />Painted by James Brown</em></td></tr>

Work on the Jagdtiger began in 1943 and Henschel, who already made the Tiger and Königstiger heavy tanks, submitted plans based on the Königstiger.<br /><br />Two prototypes were produced, one using the original Henschel Königstiger suspension, the other based on the Porsche suspension similar to that of the Elefant tank-hunter. The Henschel design was selected, but due to slow production ten Porsche vehicles were also produced. A total of 77 Jagdtiger tank-hunters were manufactured by the end of the war.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79&ProductID=4991" style="color: #5f0000; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Check out the Jagdtiger in the online store here...</a></td></tr>

Its main asset was its powerful 12.8cm PaK44 anti-tank gun. This gun was derived from the K81 divisional gun and could penetrate any tank the Allies had, often blowing smaller vehicles into fragments. However, its armour and gun made it very heavy, which put a massive strain on its drive train and engine. This led to reliability issues and made it difficult to get good numbers of them into combat at once.<br /><br />The Jagdtiger heavy tank-hunter first went into action with 653. Schwere Panzerjägerabteilung during Operation Nordwind in January 1945 and stayed in service until the end of the war.<br /><br /><em>Designed by Evan Allen<br />Painted by Blake Coster</em></td></tr>

Secondary armament consisted of two 7.7mm machine-guns, one mounted in the front of the hull and the other in the rear of the turret.<br /><br />After facing off again the Soviet BT-5 and BT-7 tanks armed with their 45mm guns, it soon became that the 57mm gun had limited value against opposing tanks. This led to the development of the Type 1 47mm gun; a direct competitor to the Soviet 45mm gun. An up-gunned version of the Type 97 designated the Type 97-Kai Shinhoto Chi-Ha and went in production in 1942.<br /><br /><em>Designed by Tim Adcock<br />Painted by James Brown</em></td></tr>

This can sometimes be confusing as the weapons available could come from the reign of three different emperors; Emperor Meiji (1867 to 1912), Emperor Taisho (1912 to 1926), and Emperor Hirohito (1926 to 1989). To confuse things further, during the reign of Emperor Hirohito the model system referred to the year in the Japanese calendar, which was 660 years ahead of the current western date, so 1939 was 2599 in Japan. The model is usually referred to as <em>Type</em> in English translations.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Examples</strong><br /><em>The 6.5mm heavy machine-gun was an older weapon that entered service in 1914 during the third year of Emperor Taisho’s reign, giving it the designation Type 3. However, the 6.5mm Type 96 light machine-gun used by the infantry was produced in 1936, or 2596 in the Japanese calendar system, which was abbreviated to 96.</em></td></tr>

Cheap the produce, the T-38 was powered by a GAZ (<em>Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod</em>) engine and pushed along in the water via a propeller mounted on the rear of the vehicle. Buoyancy was achieved by the T-38’s large volume hull.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79&ProductID=5393" style="color: #5f0000; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Check out the T-38 Scout Tank Company in the online store here...</a> </td></tr>

However, the lack of a radio severely limited its effectiveness when reconnoitring the battlefield. Worst still, its thin armour and single machine-gun meant the T-38 lacked the protection and firepower necessary to fight its way out of any sticky situations it found itself in. This was further reinforced during the Winter War as the confined terrain of Finland meant to T-38 was nothing more than a death-trap for its two-man crew.<em><br /></em></td></tr>

<tr><td class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">It fared no better against the Germans during the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa and unlike Soviet vehicles that fell into German hands, the T-38 was not turned against its former owners. Despite these limitations around 1300 were built before plans were drawn up to replace it with the T-40. This however was short lived as the pressure of wartime production meant only a handful of T-40s were ever built.<br /><br /><em>Designed by Evan Allen<br />Painted by Andrew Agutters</em></td><td class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;"><img alt="T-38 Scout Tank Company (SBX27)" border="1" height="199" src="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/all_images/Soviet/Boxes/SBX27b.jpg" title="T-38 Scout Tank Company (SBX27)" width="338" /></td></tr>

By October 1956, the Egypt had 120 MiG-15, 50 Il-28, 87 Meteors and Vampires and a handful of MiG-17s; far superior than anything the Israelis could deploy.<br /><br />To the US aircraft such as the F-4 Phantom, the MiG-17 proved to be a tricky adversary in the skies over North Vietnam with its high degree of manoeuvrability combined with its powerful armament consisting of one 37mm N-37 cannon along with two 23mm MR-23 cannons. By the 1960s, US aircraft had become reliant on air-to-air missiles; the inclusion of a radar targeted cannon was considered obsolete. A price American airman paid dearly for when encountering the MiG.</td><td class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;"><img alt="MiG-17 (ACC03)" border="1" height="200" src="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Portals/0/all_images/Aircraft/AAC03a.jpg" title="MiG-17 (ACC03)" width="142" /></td></tr>

In late 1936, he joined the Luftwaffe as a cadet. During basic training, he had difficulty learning fighter piloting techniques and was eventually listed as unsuitable for aerial combat missions. In 1939, he was transferred to a reconnaissance unit and began his wartime career observing and taking pictures of enemy positions during the invasion of Poland.<br /><br />In 1940, his numerous applications to be transferred to the dive-bombers were finally approved and he was then stationed in Caen, France during the Battle of Britain. A frustrated Rudel spent the entire battle assigned to a non-combat role. He then moved to the Mediterranean theatre where he once again sat on the sidelines during the battle of Crete.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79&ProductID=5722" style="color: #5f0000; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Check out Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel in the online store here...</a></td></tr>

It took him less than a month to win the Iron Cross, First Class, in recognition of his abilities on the battlefield.<br /><br />On 23 September 1941, Rudel and a fellow dive-bomber pilot scored hits that resulted in the sinking of the Soviet battleship Marat, while it lay in the Leningrad harbour. By 1942, Rudel had over 400 missions under his belt and had been awarded the Knight’s Cross, Germany’s highest honour.<br /><br />In early 1943, Rudel, now with a world record of 1000 combat sorties flown, traded dive-bombing for anti-tank missions, using the specialised Ju-87G Kanonenvogel (Cannon Bird) Stuka armed with two 3.7cm cannon, each carrying six rounds. He took to the job with ease, claiming over 100 destroyed Soviet tanks at the Battle of Kursk alone.<br /><br />By March 1944, Rudel had clocked over 1800 sorties and 204 tanks destroyed. He was now the commander of his group, III. Gruppe, 2. Sturzkampfgeschwader (3rd Group, 2nd Divebomber Wing). He was such a success that Hitler wanted him grounded for fear of losing the popular war hero. Rudel refused and the Führer backed down.</td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2"><span class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">In November 1944, Rudel was wounded and flew several missions with his leg in a plaster cast. Then, in February 1945, Rudel’s Stuka was hit by anti-aircraft fire. Badly wounded once again in the leg, he crash-landed behind German lines before losing consciousness. He was saved by his observer and gunner, Ernst Gadermann who, by a stroke of luck, was a trained doctor. Gadermann applied first aid, but in the end Rudel lost his leg below his knee.<br /><br />Rudel recovered and by 25 March 1945, he was flying again. He claimed an additional 26 tanks before the war in Europe ended in May. To this day, Rudel’s record remains staggering. He was the most highly decorated German serviceman of the war, to the extent that the German military had to invent a new device to add to his full Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. He would be the only person to be awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds.<br /><br />Rudel flew 2530 combat missions claiming at least 2000 targets destroyed. These included 800 vehicles, 519 tanks, 150 artillery pieces, 70 landing craft, nine aircraft, four armoured trains, several key bridges, a destroyer, two cruisers, and the Soviet battleship Marat.</span><br /><br /><em class="normal10" style="font-size: 10pt;">Designed by Evan Allen<br />Painted by James Brown</em></td></tr>

In early 1943 the Germans captured their first US Bazookas in Tunisia and quickly rushed them back to Germany for investigation and testing. They liked what they saw and immediately started work on their own version.<br /><br />It was decided to make the calibre 8.8cm rather than the 6cm of the Bazooka, which made both the projectile and the weapon heavier than the Bazooka, but gave it more punch. </span></td></tr>

The Panzerschreck (an improved copy of the American Bazooka) went some way to filling this gap, but it was felt there was still a need for something usable by a single man.<br /><br />Development of this idea ultimately led to the Panzerfaust; a one-shot weapon that once fired could simply be discarded. Simple to use and easy to manufacture, the Panzerfaust saw action on every front and proved highly successful. So much so that during the Battle of Berlin some units were armed solely with the Panzerfausts and sent out to stem the tide of Soviet armour.</span></td></tr>
