There's nothing gentle about the vehicle known officially as the "38cm RW61 auf Sturmmorser Tiger", a vehicle designed specifically to destroy buildings and strong-points. An enormous 38cm mortar was mounted in a fixed casemate atop a Tiger I chassis, instead of the usual turret-mounted 8.8cm gun.

One of Germany's last desperate gambles of WWII was its offensive in the Ardennes on 16 December 1944.

It included five Panther Ausf.G tanks physically disguised and painted to resemble U.S. Army M10 tank destroyers. Modifications...

This tiny island 800km east of the Philippines, now part of Palau, had to be captured to protect the American right flank. Many Landing Vehicles Tracked (LVT) were used in the initial amphibious assault, and so devastating was the Japanese resistance that 60 LVTs and...

Neubau-Fahrzeug Nr.2 Versuchsfahrzeug, Germany 1935 (1:72) by Dragon Diecast ArmorItem Number: DRR60572German's first attempts at creating a heavy tank commenced in the early 1930s. Known as the Neubau-Fahrzeug ('New Construction Vehicle__), it was not a success, however. Slow-moving and boasting multiple turrets, it was ill equipped for the type of rapid, mobile warfare that blitzkrieg tactics required. For this reason, only five Neubau-Fahrzeug heavy tanks were built by Rheinmetall-Borsig...

Dragon Armor is going to release a mightily impressive 1/72 scale VK.45.02(P)H prototype. It has the Porsche turret, which was later assigned to the Tiger II, mounted well to the rear of the hull to produce a most unique profile. The model is finished in a typical late-war camouflage scheme of two colors, this being punctuated by the barest of extra markings in the form of Balkenkreuz. The VK.45.02(P) is beautifully painted and weathered, and the detail on the heavy tank prototype is very...
