Completed in November 1938, its design differed from that of previous aircraft carriers. The Ark Royal was the first ship on which the hangars and flight deck were an integral part of the hull, rather than an addition or part of the superstructure. Designed to carry a large number of aircraft, it had two hangar deck levels. The Ark Royal served in some of the most active naval theatres of the Second World War. it was involved in the first aircraft and U-boat attacks of the war and, even more famous, in the search for the German battleship Bismarck. It was torpedoed on November 13, 1941 by the German submarine U-81 and sank the next day. Its wreck was discovered by a BBC team in December 2002, about 30 nautical miles from Gibraltar.r.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForces of Valor warships are featured:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie-cast metal construction with some plastic components.\u003cbr\u003eRotating turrets, lifting guns and precise hull.\u003cbr\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003cbr\u003ePad-printed markings and labels that will not fade or flake like decals.\u003cbr\u003ePresentation display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forces of Valor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45609264251035,"sku":"FOV-861009A","price":125.21,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/19106.jpg?v=1791892357"},{"product_id":"uss-arizona-pennsylvania-class-usn-bb-39-uss-arizona-pearl-harbor-1700-forces-of-valor-861008a","title":"USS Arizona Pennsylvania-class  USN, BB-39 USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor 1:700 Forces of Valor 861008A","description":"\u003ch1\u003eForces of Valor 1\/700  861008A\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch1\u003eUSS Arizona Pennsylvania-class  USN, BB-39 USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor \u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn December 7, 1941, at 7:48 a.m. Hawaii time, the American naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese Empire to prevent the American Pacific fleet from interfering in Japanese military actions planned in Southeast Asia. The attack was led by 353 fighters, bombers and torpedo boats, launched in two waves from a task force of six aircraft carriers (Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku and Zuikaku) northwest of Hawaii. The damage inflicted was enormous. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, four of which were sunk, in addition to damaging or sinking three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship and a layer of mines. 188 American aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 wounded. Japanese casualties were minor: 29 aircraft and five dwarf submarines were lost, and 65 soldiers were killed or wounded. A Japanese sailor has been captured. The attack was a profound shock to the American people and led directly to American entry into World War II in the Pacific and European theatres. The next day (December 8), the United States declared war on Japan. There have been many historical precedents of unexpected military action by Japan. However, the absence of any formal warning, especially since negotiations were apparently still ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, \"a date that will remain in the shadows\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForces of Valor warships are featured:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie-cast metal construction with some plastic components.\u003cbr\u003eRotating turrets, lifting guns and precise hull.\u003cbr\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003cbr\u003ePad-printed markings and labels that will not fade or flake like decals.\u003cbr\u003ePresentation display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forces of Valor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45609264316571,"sku":"FOV-861008A","price":89.42,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/19108.jpg?v=1791892357"},{"product_id":"hms-hood-admiral-class-battlecruiser-royal-navy-1700-forces-of-valor-861002a","title":"HMS Hood Admiral-class Battlecruiser Royal Navy 1:700 Forces of Valor 861002A","description":"\u003ch1\u003eForces of Valor 1\/700  861002A\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch1\u003eHMS Hood Admiral-class Battlecruiser Royal Navy Battle of the Denmark Strait, May 1941\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn May 1941, the battle cruiser HMS Hood and the battleship HMS Prince of Wales were ordered to intercept the German battleship Bismarck, which was on its way to attack convoys in the Atlantic.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill who ordered the Royal Navy to sink the Bismarck, and they executed his command on May 26 and 27. The Royal Navy conducted two investigations into the reasons for the vessel's rapid disappearance. The first, held very soon after the loss of the ship, concluded that Hood's aft store had exploded after one of the Bismarck's artillery shells had penetrated the ship's armour. A second investigation took place after complaints were received that the first commission had not taken into account other explanations, such as the explosion of the ship's torpedoes.

By 1942, with the introduction of 50 and 75 mm guns and the high-velocity MK 10, the KV had lost its armor advantage, though it remained in service through the end of the war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHobby Master \"1:72 Ground Power Series\" diecast vehicles feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal construction with some plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating turret, elevating cannon and accurate hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted, fitted, non-moving tracks on detailed non-rotating wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear acrylic display case to protect model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hobby Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45610673701019,"sku":"HG3015","price":51.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/27386.jpg?v=1791895730"},{"product_id":"hobby-master-172-hg7055-isu-152-self-propelled-gun-soviet-army-berlin-germany-april-1945","title":"Hobby Master 1:72 HG7055 \/ ISU-152 Self-Propelled Gun \/ Soviet Army, Berlin, Germany, April 1945","description":"\u003ch1\u003eHobby Master 1:72 HG7055\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch1\u003eISU-152 Self-Propelled Gun \/ Soviet Army, Berlin, Germany, April 1945\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ISU-152 was used as a heavy assault gun in urban locations, SPG and a heavy tank destroyer.

The Cromwell had an unusually long development period for a wartime tank and even though the project began in 1942, the first machines did not enter combat until the D-Day landings. Although the Cromwell was no match for the firepower of the German Tigers and Panthers, it was designed to support rapidly advancing infantry units, allowing them to make strategic gains through the speed of their advance. An extremely fast tank, the Cromwell could reach speeds of 40mph, although this would not have been a pleasant experience for its five man crew, so it was usually limited to speeds no greater than 32mph. Powered by the excellent 600 hp Rolls Royce Meteor engine, this was actually a development of the famous Merlin engine which powered the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the Battle of Britain. Around 4,000 of these tanks were built and they saw heavy use during the battles following the D-Day landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Cromwell IV, named \"Blenheim' was photographed during an inspection of the Guards Armoured Division by Prime Minister Churchill prior to D-Day.

Finished in 1930 these prototypes were again extensively altered to meet changes in specifications, outlining the concept of a Char de Manoeuvre.

A modified version of the M1 was trialed in 1932 which used semi-fixed ammunition instead of separate-loading ammunition. Since this development required a different breech block, the new piece was designated the 105 mm howitzer M2 on carriage M1. 48 pieces were manufactured in 1939. The original M1 carriage had been designed for towing using horses rather than trucks, and a new carriage, the T5 (M2), was developed in 1939 and standardized in February 1940. The breech ring of the howitzer M2 was modified in March 1940 before large-scale production began, creating the 105 mm howitzer M2A1 on carriage M2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. military artillery designation system was changed in 1962, redesignating the M2A1 howitzer the M101A1. The gun continued to see service in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Though a similar model, the M102 howitzer, shared the same roles in battle, it never fully replaced the M101A1. Today, the M101A1 has been retired by the U.S. military, though it continues to see service with many other countries. By the end of the Second World War, 8,536 105 mm towed howitzers had been built and post-war production continued at Rock Island Arsenal until 1953, by which time 10,202 had been built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_TNK_M101\"\u003eM101A1 105mm Howitzer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 105 mm M101 was the standard U.S. light field howitzer in World War II and saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters.

Up to the end of the war, the Allies did not introduce anything that could effectively counter it. The Tiger II combined a powerful and effective gun with armor that was virtually impervious to any Allied tank or anti-tank gun. Planning for the Tiger II started as early as May 1941, a year before the Tiger I entered production. By the fall of 1942\/January 1943, designers started work on a heavy tank that would eventually replace the Tiger I. In January 1943, Hitler ordered the new Tiger to be armed with a long 88mm gun and have 150mm frontal armor and 80mm side armor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_TNK_SDKFZ182\"\u003eHenschel\/Porsche Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOfficially designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Sd.Kfz 182, the King Tiger entered service in 1944. This tank carried the awesome tank-killing 88mm main gun and had four-inch armor at its thickest. The system was crewed by five personnel and two machine guns were added for self-defense. The King Tiger's ability to destroy enemy tanks at extreme ranges yet remain impervious to those same tanks made it more than a match for any Allied tank. The sight of a King Tiger on the battlefield was terrifying and did great morale damage to Allied forces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/range\/diecast-model\/armor\/motor-city-classics-armored-fighting-vehicles\"\u003eAFVs of WWII Armored Fighting Vehicles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Motor City Classics \"Armored Fighting Vehicles\" range presents affordable, ready made diecast models of military vehicles in 1:43 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMotor City Classics \"Armored Fighting Vehicles\" diecast vehicles feature:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal and plastic construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating turret, elevating cannon and accurate hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted, non-moving tracks and detailed non-rotating wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear acrylic display case to protect model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AFVs of WWII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45614665367707,"sku":"23187-44","price":47.31,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/55807.jpg?v=1728430232"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/collections\/287.jpg?v=1732119465","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/collections\/military-land-and-sea.oembed?page=2","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
