This ‘Secret Weapon’ was an armored search light based around the use of a powerful Carbon-Arc lamp that could be used to illuminate enemy positions during night operations as well as to disorient the enemy. Carbon-Arc searchlights could produce a light as bright as 13 million candle-power. Arc-Lamps produced light via an arc of electricity suspended in the air between two carbon electrodes. To ignite the lamp, the rods were touched together, forming an arc, and then slowly drawn apart, maintaining a arc. The carbon in the rods vaporized, and the vapor produced was extremely luminous, which produced the bright light. This light was then focused by a large concave mirror. Using a series of mirrors to reflect it, the intensely bright beam of light passed through a very small vertical slit on the left of the turret face. The slit was 24 inches (1525px) tall, and 2 inches (127px) wide, and had a built-in shutter that would open and close two times per second, giving the light a flickering effect. This could dazzle enemy troops, but also protected the lamp from small-arms fire. Another feature was the ability to attach an amber or blue filter to the lamp. Coupled with the flashing, this would increase the dazzling effect and could still illuminate targets areas effectively. The system also allowed for the use of an infra-red illumination bulb so that IR vision systems could see at night. The field covered by the beam was a 34 x 340 yards at a range of 1000 yards. The lamp could also elevate and depress 10 degrees. The device was housed in a special one-man cylindrical turret that was squared off on the left and rounded on the right. The armored turret only rotated 180 degrees left or 180 degrees right, but not all the way around. The operator inside, known as the ‘observer’, was positioned in the left side of the turret and partitioned off from the lamp system.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmerican Generals Eisenhower and Clark were intrigued by demonstrations of the secret weapon, and the U.S. Army decided to develop their own system based on the cast hull M3A1 Lee Medium Tank. The CDL replaced the secondary armament turret atop the M3A1, but the addition of a dummy gun next to the beam slit gave it the appearance of a normal gun tank. The turret was mostly identical to the British version, with the major difference being a ball mount for a Browning M1919 .30 Cal. as opposed to the British BESA. Known by their crews as “Gizmos”, 497 such American Canal Defense Light equipped tanks were produced by 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE KIT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHatches can be built open or closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink and length style tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack assembly jig included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched parts included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour types of markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAKOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40491572789414,"sku":"TK2115","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/3666\/6790\/products\/01_743a5828-dcc2-4c56-9e28-7cf25e0f149f.jpg?v=1624824216"},{"product_id":"1-35-us-army-ton-armored-truck-takom","title":"1:35 US Army ¼ Ton Armored Truck - TAKOM","description":"\u003cp\u003ePowered by a 60hp engine, the U.S. Army 1\/4-ton trucks were wildly popular off-road capable light utility vehicles, built in large numbers to a standardized design from 1941 to 1945, for the Allied forces in World War II.

An order for 150 vehicles was initially placed, with production commencing at Nibelungenwerk in St. Valentine (Steyr-Daimler-Puch) in July 1944. Production was slow due to the cumbersome weight of the various elements of the vehicle, as well as the factory being targeted by Allied strategic bombing missions. Only around 80 examples were ultimately produced before the end of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jagdtiger was armed with the most powerful anti- tank gun in the German arsenal during World War II, the Krupp 12.8 cm PaK 44 L\/55, capable of out-ranging and defeating any allied tank it could have faced. Additional armament consisted of a single Rheinmetall 7.92mm MG 34 provided with a ball mount in the front-left side of the hull, and provisions for mounting another of these weapons externally on the engine deck for aerial defense. The main gun mount offered a very limited traverse of 10°, so if targets were outside it’s field of fire, the entire tank had to be turned and re-aimed, causing considerable stress on the engine and often jarring the gun out of calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greatest weakness of the vehicle was its power plant, the 690 hp V–12 Maybach HL 230 P 30 gasoline engine. Straining under the heavy weight with high fuel consumption, the operational range was only some 120 km (75 miles) on-road, and 80 km (50 miles) off-road. The huge case mate featured 250 mm thick armor at the front, while the glacis plate retained the same 150 mm thickness as the King Tiger. The heavy armor added serious weight to the vehicle, and the engine proved significantly under powered, resulting in a poor power-to-weight ratio. This resulted in strained components and caused low speed and poor off-road capability, as well as unreliability and inefficiency. These problems were so severe that most vehicles were lost due to these issues, rather than to enemy fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing on both the Eastern and Western fronts, only two heavy tank-hunter battalions received the vehicle.

These were mainly the sloped armor, and the wide tracks (to make maneuvering in snow conditions of the Eastern front easier). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTHE KIT:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink and length style tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracks assembly jig included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll hatches can be built in open or closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched parts included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAKOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40578222456998,"sku":"TK2098","price":52.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/3666\/6790\/products\/01_5b4ad1a7-0c40-4e86-9da3-711de1051fbc.jpg?v=1625342586"},{"product_id":"1-35-us-m3a1-medium-tank-takom","title":"1:35 US M3A1 Medium Tank - TAKOM","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe outbreak of WWII in Europe caused the U.S. Army to recognize it was lacking an effective tank force. Design of the Medium tank M3 commenced in July 1940, with production beginning in December, and the first units becoming operational in late 1941. The U.S. Army required a tank armed with a 75mm main gun and the United Kingdom had made an immediate demand for more medium tanks. The main design archaically mounted the 75mm main gun in the right sponson, with another 37mm gun mounted in a small turret on top, which was a compromise meant to produce a tank as soon as possible until the M4 became available. In Great Britain the tank was called by two names based on the turret configuration and crew size. Tanks fitted with the U.S. style turret were called the “Lee”, named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Variants using British style turrets were known as the “Grant”, named after Union General Ulysses S. Grant. The M3 offered potent firepower and sturdy armor, but had serious shortcomings in it’s design and shape, including a high silhouette, and the sponson mounting the 75mm main gun, which limited the traverse and prevented the tank from taking a hull-down position. 300 tanks were produced with a large cast hull, and mainly used in the U.S.A. for training purposes. Multiple variants and derivatives were spawned from M3 production, including the M31 armored recovery vehicle, the M7 Priest self-propelled gun, the CDL (Canal Defense Light), and the Canadian RAM cruiser tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE KIT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink and length style tracks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack assembly jig included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll hatches can be built open or closed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto etched parts included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 types of markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAKOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40578245099686,"sku":"TK2114","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/3666\/6790\/products\/01_f51dda10-01e3-4015-81a6-c81c7df650ff.jpg?v=1625343006"},{"product_id":"1-35-polish-pl-01-prototype-light-tank-takom","title":"1:35 Polish PL-01 Prototype Light Tank - TAKOM","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on the Swedish CV90120-T light tank, the PL-01 concept tank was jointly developed by Obrum of Poland and BAE Systems of the United Kingdom in 2013.

The PL-01 was designed with lots of angles to reduce its radar signature and mounts temperature-controlled cooled wafers on the hull and turret to increase its stealth technology camouflage, allowing the PL-01 to match the infrared signature of its environment to confuse the tracking systems of IR weapons. The new Polish tank has modular armor protection with multilayer ceramic-aramid armor. Damaged add-on armor modules can be easily replaced in field conditions, and future upgrades can be readily integrated. The crew (commander and gunner) sit in the hull of the vehicle, and the rear part of the hull can be used to carry four infantrymen.

This led to the development of the heavy tanks such as the Tigers and Panthers, weighing as much as 30 tons. The existing gantry cranes in field maintenance units were too weak to service the new heavy tanks, so the Germans turned to the mobile gantry cranes manufactured by J.S Fries Frankfurt am Main which were developed in the 1930’s for lifting heavy loads in ports and railroad facilities.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Strabokran (Strassen bock kran, or road gantry crane) consisted of a horizontal gantry supported by a pair of collapsible support towers.

These vehicles were built by Chrysler Defense. Pilot 1 was sent for evaluation at the Eglin Air Force Base climatic hangar, while Pilot 2 was tested at the Yuma Test Station, and Pilot 3 underwent field trials at Fort Knox. On 22 October 1961, the M60E1 was officially accepted in service under the designation of Tank, Combat, Full Tracked: 105-mm Gun, M60A1. Production began on 13 October 1962 when the Army placed an initial order for 720 of the tanks for 61.2 million dollars.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE KIT:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll hatches can be built in open or closed position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched parts included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour types of markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAKOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41956606574823,"sku":"TK2142","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/3666\/6790\/products\/01_ab8993de-f403-4d07-9cdc-7eca43bef83d.jpg?v=1635283401"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/3666\/6790\/collections\/Tacom.png?v=1633777844","url":"https:\/\/one35scale.com\/collections\/takom.oembed?page=9","provider":"one35scale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
