Akagi and the other carriers of the Japanese Navy were
the terrors of the sea for the first six months of WWII. Ordnance from their
planes rained from Pearl Harbor to the Indian Ocean and the IJN seemed
unstoppable. Akagi, however, was designed with a wooden flight deck which
improved its sea keeping but made it vulnerable. At Midway, the wooden deck
proved to be Akagi's downfall. A bomb punched through the deck, ignited the
hangar, and slowly burnt out the ship. This limited edition kit features a full
hull and display base. A detail-up photo-etched parts set (HSGS0036) is
available separately.

Hermann Graf was the first pilot in aviation history to
claim over 200 aerial victories and ranked amongst the most successful pilots
of WWII. Shortly after claiming his 200th victory, Graf was moved to a fighter
pilot training school where he flew the Fw 190 A-5 and supplied a dose of real
combat experience to fresh fighter pilots. While at the training school and
later when he was given his own unit, Graf put together a soccer team from the
best players in the Luftwaffe. Kit features two decal sets and a Graf figure.

Hitler's fascination with massive armaments is
epitomized by Germany's heavy investment in railway guns. "Leopold",
one of 25 K5 railway guns made by Krupp for World War II, was a behemoth of a
gun. It weighed 240 short tons, fired 560 lb/eleven inch shells, and had to be
moved and aimed on specially designed railroad tracks. Once emplaced, the
Leopold could fire shells up to forty miles. Needless to say, you didn't want
to be in the area when the shell came down. This limited edition kit features
three sets of decals and figures.
