P-40E/N Warhawk Landing Gear (Eduard)

Published: February 4, 2026
Company: Scale Aircraft Conversions

There were 13,738 P-40 Warhawks built during World War II, making it the most produced American fighter aircraft of the war. Among the multitude of 1/48 scale P-40s are the new Eduard kits of the P-40E/N. As aircraft modelers well know, aircraft models displayed on their landing gear are susceptible to damage from the weight of the model, especially on styrene landing gear.

Scale Aircraft Conversion has had the solution since 1990. Their white metal landing gear is designed to bear the weight of the model and complement the detailed non-load bearing plastic parts. Their extensive range covers white metal landing gear from 1/144 to 1/18 scale aircraft.

The Scale Aircraft Conversions P-40E/N Warhawk Landing Gear (Edu), Stock Number 48397, consists of three items in their… more

M3 Bradley US Cavalry Fighting Vehicle

Company: ICM

Reference from the ICM website,

While developing a combat vehicle for mechanized infantry units under the MICV (Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle) program, the United States also developed an armored reconnaissance vehicle under the ARSV (Armored Reconnaissance Scout Vehicle) program. In spring 1977, both programs merged into FVS (Fighting Vehicle Systems), creating the unified Bradley Fighting Vehicle platform. The concept included two variants: the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle and the M3 Bradley cavalry fighting vehicle, crewed by three soldiers plus two scouts. The M3 Bradley retained the same primary armament as the IFV but carried more ammunition — 1,… more

M2 Bradley IFV

Published: February 2, 2026
Company: ICM

Upon opening the cover, there is a reinforced white inner box that does a good job of protecting the kit’s seven gray plastic sprues, and decal sheet (I recently heard on the Beyond the Box Art podcast that ICM’s boxes are designed to withstand the rigors of delivery services, and this box definitely meets that standard). The instructions span 12 pages and cover 38 steps. The downloadable instructions are also available separately online at the ICM website. Take care with small pieces (grab handles, etc) as the plastic is fragile and can break when removed from the sprue gates.

This is a former Revell M2/M3 Bradley kit (No. 03143) that was first issued in 2005 (with the hull tub dating to 2001 Kit No. 03124). The ICM boxing uses new decals and keeps it relevant for modern armor… more

War in Ukraine - Volume 10: Ukrainian- & Western-Designed Artillery Systems, 2022-2024

Book Author(s): Wen Jian Chung; Illustrators: David Bocquelet
Company: Helion & Company

From the Introduction,

In battle, the artillery has always had two roles. In defence, its purpose is to destroy the impetus of the enemy’s attacks, and in attack, its task is to destroy the enemy’s will to resist. Just that. And whether you consider the medieval wars or the Napoleonic wars or the great wars that followed them, those two tasks have remained.

– General Sir Thomas Lovett Morony, KCB, OBE, Master Gunner, St James Park (1985)

The author, Wen Jian Chung continues,

A modern army’s infantry and armour are its primary direct-fire instruments, its ‘melee’ weapons in a sense. Artillery is traditionally the army’s primary organic means for indirect fire, flinging explosives at the enemy. New weapons such as armed first-… more

Company: Avonmore Books

Michael John Claringbould hit another home run (the pun works with both baseball and cricket) with this latest addition to the Pacific Profile series. Night fighters grew out of necessity and are rarely noted, much less written about. This book fills that void in great and interesting detail.

From the Introduction,

Welcome to the diverse world of Pacific War night fighters. This volume focuses on their markings and insignia, mostly under-represented to date with the exception of the P-61 Black Widow series. In addition to the P-61, other types illustrated include the P-70 series Nighthawk, the P-38 Lightning, the B-25 Mitchell, the F4U-2 Corsair and the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura. Three other miscellaneous types associated with the… more

From the seventh chapter subchapter, “The VRS and Terms of the Peace Treaty”,

On 14 December 1995, a peace agreement was signed in Paris. After three and a half years of war, peace came to Bosnia and Herzegovina. This former Yugoslav state was divided into two entities: the Muslim-Croat Federation and Republika Srpska, on a scale of 51:49 in division of BiH territory.

The ground forces of the warring parties were ordered to withdraw two kilometers from the line of separation, the artillery units even to 10 kilometers. These activities were monitored by the international IFOR (Implementation Force) units, which started to arrive in Bosnia and Herzegovina and begin its deployment, starting from 20 to 21 December and formally took over responsibility from the… more

Drone Hunters

Company: ICM

ICM continues its current conflict series with Drone Hunters, a part of their DS (Diorama Series) line. This kit combines the M1097A2 Heavy HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) with a Soviet DShKM machine gun and three figures (one manning the DShKM, one with binoculars and one holding the MANPADS (MAN Portable Air Defense System, in this case a FIM-91 Stinger) in firing position).

Drone Warfare

Referencing the ICM website and instruction sheet, "Drones have become a crucial element of modern warfare, fundamentally changing combat operations. Today, hundreds or even thousands of drones are deployed in a single day of fighting. Kamikaze drones—aerial strike vehicles—present a significant danger. These range from small units weighing just a few kilograms to… more

SPz Marder 1A3 Ukrainian Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Company: ICM

Reference the ICM website,

The SPz Marder 1 is a German infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) developed by Rheinmetall that has served as the main combat vehicle of the armored infantry divisions of the Bundeswehr since the 1970s.

The vehicle underwent several modernizations throughout its service life, with the A3 upgrade program launching in 1988. This modernization included 1600 kilograms of improved armor, reinforced suspension, a new braking system, and a modified turret configuration. The resulting SPz Marder 1A3 has proven to be one of the world’s most battle-tested and reliable IFVs.

Starting in March 2023, Ukraine began receiving SPz Marder 1A3s, with deliveries continuing until… more
