For today's featured model, we are going to highlight the Bailey Bridge and the Bailey Bridge Extension Set!

The Bailey bridge was developed by the British engineer Donald Bailey. His concept was unique in that a small group of men could quickly build a bridge of almost any size without the use of heavy equipment. This was achieved by using light and portable standard elements.

The Artitec kit consists of two parts: a basic kit, containing enough parts to build a standard light bridge, and an expansion Set that allows for heavier constructions.

Multiple expansion sets (1870141) can be purchased and used to create double or even triple Bailey bridges. From short light bridges to cross a small stream to heavy bridges on pillars crossing a ravine: the sky is the limit!

H0 1:87 Scale. Length 30 cm and 36 cm including ramps.

This item is an unassembled and unpainted Plastic kit. Instructions included. Paint, glue, and decals are not included but can be purchased separately.

The factory photos may show it as a fully assembled and painted model. Some photos may not be of actual models. Photos may show them in real life use.

Assembly required. This item is an unassembled and unpainted plastic model.

Good afternoon, collectors! Today's showcase model is very interesting! It's the ArsenalM 1:87 HO Scale kit of the Sd.Kfz.254 Armored Scout Car!

The SdKfz 254, fully designated the SdKfz 254 Lechter Gepanzerter Beobachtungskraftwagen, and originally known as the RR-7 and later the RK-7, or Räder-Kettenfahrgestell 7, was a light armored car/half-track combination used by Austria prior to, and by Germany during WWII.

This unique vehicle featured a wheel-track layout and a diesel motor. The wheels were lowered when it was used on roads and retracted for tracked movement cross-country. Only around 140 units were built.

A number saw service with the Afrika Korps, serving as artillery observation vehicles after being fitted with a radio and rail antenna.

Good afternoon all! We just received a shipment of some new AlsaCast kits, including this sharp M41 Walker Bulldog Light Tank. The M41 Walker Bulldog, officially 76-mm Gun Tank, M41, was an American light tank developed for armed reconnaissance purposes. It was produced by Cadillac between 1951 and 1954 and marketed successfully to the United States Army as a replacement for its aging fleet of World War II vintage M24 Chaffee tanks. Although engineered as a reconnaissance vehicle, the M41's weight and armament also made it effective in the close infantry support role and for rapid airborne deployments.

This is a resin kit. It requires assembly and painting! Limited quantities available!
