The MD 500 has been commonly used for utility work, particularly the MD 530F; it has also proven to be popular with law enforcement agencies. Production of the type was continued into the twenty-first century by Hughes' successor companies, McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems, and subsequently MD Helicopters. While the MD 500 series has been largely operated by civil customers, it has occasionally seen military use, even to the extent of performing front line combat operations.

The name Apache stuck to the helicopter in 1981. This highly efficient machine has four-blade rotors driven by two General Electric T700-701 turbine engines with a capacity of 1696HP. The vestigial wings are fitted with conventional trailing edge flaps, and a plate tail improves longitudinal steering. The two-man crew takes seats one after the other in the armored cabin. The pilot's seat is in the rear, and the weapon operator \/ gunner is in the front. The key to the universal use of the helicopter are the TADS systems on the gunner's stand and the PNVS systems used by the pilot. The TADS is a target-tracking laser marker and rangefinder set and a forward-facing infrared sensor that is duplicated by the normal optics. The PNVS system is a developed FLIR system that allows you to pilot a helicopter just above the ground in order to prevent or delay detection by the enemy's anti-aircraft defense. Apache helicopters took part in the operation in Panama in 1989, during the Desert Storm in 1991, or the last conflict in Iraq (2003). At the end of 1990, the construction of a new version of the helicopter began, equipped with a Martin \/ Westinghouse Longbow millimeter radar installed above the head to control the weapons.

High-altitude flight performance and climb were unsatisfactory, and in 1941 an attempt was made to counter this by using a wing with a thinner profile and elliptical contour. The engine radiator was moved from under the engine itself to the edges of the wing root, and the Napier Saber C.107C engine was selected as the drive source. As the new wing had a smaller capacity, it became necessary to install additional fuel tanks in the fuselage of the aircraft. The introduced changes were so big that at the beginning of 1942 the plane was named Hawker Tempest. The Tempest prototype flew in February 1943 and soon achieved a speed of 750 km \/ h at an altitude of 7,470 meters. The service of Hawker Tempest aircraft in the RAF colors began in April 1944. The wing that had them in stock took part in the preparations for the invasion of Normandy. This was prevented by the first V-1 attack, which took place on June 13. Tempests have been directed to combat this new threat. The achieved success can be best judged by the number of bombs shot down. Between June 1944 and March 1945, 481 kills were recorded on the Hawker Tempest machines account. Until the end of the war, the machines operated in Europe to support land forces. Particularly noteworthy are the 20 kills recorded on the German Messerschmitt Me-262 jet fighters. Throughout the war, the Hawker Tempest served in only three RAF squadrons: 3, 486 and 56. The only mass-produced version in the period 1943-1945 was the Mk.V model, interestingly two other versions (Mk.II and Mk.VI) entered production after 1945 and served until 1951.

The plane became the first American construction capable of flying at speeds over 483 km \/ h. The version for the RAF was called the Tomahawk Mk IIA. The planes had self-sealing fuel tanks and two wing-mounted 7.7mm machine guns. The Tomahawk MkIIB were equipped with American radio hardware and armed with six 7.7mm machine guns. Some American P-40s were modernized in 1941 for reconnaissance tasks. They received the designation RP-40. Meanwhile, work on the Hawk 81-A was underway at the Curtiss facility. The changes included the installation of the Allison V-1710-39 engine with a capacity of 1167KM, providing constant power up to a height of 3563 meters, adaptation for installation in the wing of four 12.7mm machine guns and the installation of a fuselage node that could carry one bomb weighing 227 kg or thrown back additional fuel tank. The US Army placed an order for these machines in September 1940, awarding them the designation P-40D. Over the next three years, Curtiss made every effort to expand the application possibilities of the P-40, creating numerous new versions of the aircraft. Despite these efforts, Warhawk's performance was lower than that of contemporary Allied and Axis fighters. Technical data (P-40E version): length: 9.66m, wingspan: 11.38m, height: 3.76m, maximum speed: 580km \/ h, rate of climb: 11m \/ s, maximum range: 1100km, practical ceiling: 8800m, armament: fixed - 6 M2 machine guns, caliber 12.7 mm, suspended - up to 900 kg of cargo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32729151930500,"sku":"9-12468","price":22.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/files\/108_rd_4.jpg?v=1735334261"},{"product_id":"academy-1-35-us-army-m-18-hellcat","title":"Academy 1:35 US Army M-18 Hellcat","description":"\u003cp\u003e1:35 scale plastic assembly kitset.

The design team worked under the supervision of Maj. Gen. Izrael Tal - one of the most prominent Israeli armored officers. Merkava is the result of the Israeli army's experience in the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. The Israeli Defense Forces commissioned the Merkava tank design to guarantee itself an independent source of heavy combat machinery. The designers of the vehicle were primarily guided by the idea of surviving the vehicle on the battlefield, which is why the Merkava is distinguished by an innovative armor that perfectly protects the crew members, and in the event of damage, it allows you to quickly replace the defective element. The concept of placing the engine at the front of the vehicle is also unique. Four production series were created: Mk.I, Mk.II, Mk.III and Mk.IV, which has been in production since 2001. Compared to the earlier versions in the Mk. III, the suspension has been significantly improved, thus improving the performance and comfort for the crew. A 120mm cannon was also installed, instead of a 105mm cannon. The Mk.III version also has the CVIS command system, which significantly increases its combat value. The armor, guidance and observation systems of the battlefield have been improved in the latest version. According to the fairly unanimous opinion of experts, Merkava and its subsequent modifications provide the Israeli Defense Forces with a decisive advantage over the armored potential of their Arab opponents.

Shortly after entering service - in June and July 1941 - he insured the activities of the German troops as part of Operation Barbarossa, but no more serious actions against the Soviet fleet took place at that time. Following these actions, Tirpitz was forwarded to the base in Trondheim, Norway at the turn of 1941 and 1942, from where he began to operate against Allied convoys sailing with Lend-and-lease to Murmansk via the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea. In July 1942, the mere departure from the port of the battleship Tirpitz led to the dispersion of the PQ-17 convoy, which was then decimated by German planes and U-boats. Undoubtedly, Tirpitz's presence in the northern waters was a great nuisance for the Royal Navy, and it involved 5-7 British battleships!

The first rockets designed for space travel, however, could only be used once, which resulted in increasing costs for the expeditions. It soon became clear that the successful conquest of space could not continue with the use of such costly technologies. In 1972, NASA, the American Space Agency began researching a reusable spacecraft. The result of the project was a combination of a rocket and an aircraft known as a space shuttle. The shuttle with a huge fuel tank can be launched into space thanks to the power of three own engines and two auxiliary rockets. By itself, the ferry reaches the dimensions of a medium-sized airliner, carrying a crew of around seven, most of all cargo.

The first prototypes were ready by October this year, and a car designed by the Henschel company entered mass production, with 50 units of the new tank having a tower designed by Porsche (the so-called Porsche tower). The royal tiger had a great anti-tank gun, capable of destroying any armored vehicle of the Red Army or Allies at the time at a distance of 1500-2000 m. It was also very well armored, and its armor was carefully contoured. In fact, the new German tank was unattainable for most enemy vehicles at distances above 1000-1200 m. Undoubtedly, the Tiger II had numerous disadvantages: first of all, the engine was definitely too weak, which was the same as the 11 tons lighter Tiger I. The gearbox was also damaged. and the entire driveline system, which was extremely failing and prone to failure. The Tiger II was also incredibly time-consuming and expensive to produce, which, taking into account the difficult situation of Germany on the fronts in the period 1944-1945, was also a big minus. The Royal Tiger underwent its baptism of fire during the Normandy operation in the summer of 1944 as part of the 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion and 101st SS Heavy Tank Battalion. Later, units equipped with these tanks also fought on the Eastern Front in 1944-1945, and perhaps the largest number of Tiger II tanks in one operation was used in the offensive in the Ardennes at the turn of 1944-1945.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32729257836676,"sku":"9-13229","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/files\/2405_rn_6a5dfdbe-853b-4ef6-9bfd-90d14fd8cd5c.jpg?v=1713219713"},{"product_id":"academy-1-72-b-29a-old-battler","title":"Academy 1:72 USAAF B-29A 'Old Battler'","description":"\u003cp\u003e1:72 scale plastic assembly model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequires glue and paints to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efeatures highly detailed cockpit interior \u0026amp; bomb bay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional position landing gear \u0026amp; bomb bay door\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outbreak of World War II made USAAF strategists realize that they should focus on long-range bomber projects identified as VHB (Very Heavy Bomber). When it turned out that such a plane could also be used over the Pacific, the designation VLR (Very Long Range) seemed more appropriate. Such a project was launched in early 1940 by General Henry Arnold. Study projects were presented by: Boeing, Consolidated, Douglas and Lockheed. The latter two companies withdrew from the competition fairly quickly, and on September 6, 1940, preliminary contracts were signed with Boeing and Consolidated (later Convair) for the construction and testing of first two and then three prototypes. The first one took off on September 7, 1942, the Convair XB-32 Dominator, but the enormity of amendments introduced delayed its entry into service. Boeing, through its forethought, was much more advanced in the design of the appropriate aircraft in 1940, and could have assured the USAAF that it would have series machines within two to three years. As a result, the company received an order for 1,500 machines before the prototype even took to the air! The reason for such advancement of works at Boeing was that already in 1938 the design of the improved B-17 with an pressurized cabin was presented. Although there was no need for such an aircraft at the time, the US Army encouraged Boeing to modernize the structure to have it pre-prepared in the face of changing operational circumstances. The first prototype of the XB-29 made its inaugural flight on September 21, 1942. a maximum speed of 644 km \/ h was required, therefore the plane had a medium-wing, crawler fuselage with a circular fuselage and a wing with a large extension. As such a wing required high speed on touchdown, it was equipped with large-span Fowler flaps which, when extended, increased the wing area by 20%. This, in turn, made it possible to reduce the landing approach speed. The plane was equipped with an electrically retractable landing gear with a front wheel and an airtight cockpit. Also behind the wing there was a second hermetic cabin, in which the crew members serving the shooting turrets found accommodation, while the observation of the surroundings was helped by the added bubble-shaped glazing of the cabin. The pilots compartment and the rear crew compartment were connected by a low tunnel, through which it was possible to crawl over the front and rear bomb bay. The tail gunner had its own sealed cabin, but without access to the rest of the crew. The powerplant consisted of four Wright R-3350 Cyclone engines with a power of 2200KM in a double star system. Each engine was supercharged by two General Electric turbochargers, individually installed on each side of the engine nacelle. After the production of prototype copies, 14 YB-29s were produced for operational tests. The inaugural flight of the first one took place in June 1943, and deliveries began almost immediately. The planes went to the newly established unit - 58 Very Heavy Bombardment Group. The production of the serial B-29 was the most dispersed aviation enterprise during World War II. Literally thousands of sub-suppliers manufactured parts and components that were later shipped to four major assembly plants: Boeing in Wichita and Renton, Bella in Marietta, and Martina in Omaha. Most of the machines were made in the B-29A variant - 1,122 units, while the production of B-29 of all types exceeded 4,000. It was the B-29 planes that were the first in the world to launch a nuclear bomb attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Technical data: Maximum speed: 575 km \/ h, practical ceiling 9144 m, operational range: 5230 km, armament: fixed - most often 11 Browning 12.7mm machine guns. suspended - up to 9072 kg of bombs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32729538625668,"sku":"9-12517","price":109.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/files\/4998_rd.jpg?v=1734923178"},{"product_id":"academy-roman-warship-1-72","title":"Academy 1:72 50 BCE Roman Warship","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe naval forces of the ancient Roman state (Latin: classis, lit. 'fleet') were instrumental in the Roman conquest of the Mediterranean Basin, but it never enjoyed the prestige of the Roman legions. Throughout their history, the Romans remained a primarily land-based people and relied partially on their more nautically inclined subjects, such as the Greeks and the Egyptians, to build their ships. Because of that, the navy was never completely embraced by the Roman state, and deemed somewhat \"un-Roman\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn antiquity, navies and trading fleets did not have the logistical autonomy that modern ships and fleets possess, and unlike modern naval forces, the Roman navy even at its height never existed as an autonomous service but operated as an adjunct to the Roman army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the course of the First Punic War, the Roman navy was massively expanded and played a vital role in the Roman victory and the Roman Republic's eventual ascension to hegemony in the Mediterranean Sea. In the course of the first half of the 2nd century BC, Rome went on to destroy Carthage and subdue the Hellenistic kingdoms of the eastern Mediterranean, achieving complete mastery of the inland sea, which they called Mare Nostrum. The Roman fleets were again prominent in the 1st century BC in the wars against the pirates, and in the civil wars that brought down the Republic, whose campaigns ranged across the Mediterranean. In 31 BC, the great naval Battle of Actium ended the civil wars culminating in the final victory of Augustus and the establishment of the Roman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Imperial period, the Mediterranean became largely a peaceful \"Roman lake\". In the absence of a maritime enemy, the navy was reduced mostly to patrol, anti-piracy and transport duties. By far, the navy's most vital task was to ensure Roman grain imports were shipped and delivered to the capital unimpeded across the Mediterranean.

At one point the MH-60S was also going to tow an anti-mine sled but the aircraft lacked the power and that mission was reassigned. The nose-mounted FLIR gives the aircraft nighttime capabilities while the detachable wings can carry external fuel, Hellfire missiles, rockets or guns. The cockpit has the first all-glass cockpit in the Blackhawk family providing greater flexibility and situational awareness.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Kit Features include:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New rotor blades and new swash plate\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New instrument panel and center console\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e FLIR mount on nose and new FLIR ball\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Positionable flight deck doors\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e UHF SATCOM and sensor antennas\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Main cabin fuel cell\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Hinge detail for tail fold\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New external rear view mirrors\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Positionable main cabin doors\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Positionable engine cowling doors with engines inside\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Optional ESSS wings for external stores\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Decal for 3 markings variations\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32730849738884,"sku":"9-12120","price":159.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/products\/9-12120.jpg?v=1584238235"},{"product_id":"academy-1-35-m1a2-tusk-ii","title":"Academy 1:35 US Army M1A2 Abrams Tusk II","description":"\u003cp\u003e1:35 scale plastic assembly kit.

Commissioned in 1938, Enterprise was forward deployed to Pearl Harbor in 1940 along with other ships of the Pacific Fleet. When the Japanese planned their attack on Pearl Harbor, their intelligence sources had indicated that the aircraft carriers Enterprise, Saratoga and Lexington would be there. On December 7th, Enterprise was returning from delivering VMF-211 to Wake Island. The Enterprise entered the damaged harbor later in the day to refuel and resupply before setting out to screen the Hawaiian islands from another attack.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The 'Big E' escorted USS Hornet a few months later when the latter launched Doolittle's B-25s for their famous attack on Japan. In fact, Enterprise was present at most of the battles for the Pacific though the Japanese managed to damage the ship several times during the course of the war. In December, 1944, Enterprise was modified to embark an air group that was equipped for night fighting, earning her the first designation as CV(N) 6. With that special capability, the Enterprise was able to keep air cover over Iwo Jima for 178 continuous hours.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e After being hit by a kamikaze in May 1945, Enterprise returned to Puget Sound for repairs and was in the process of returning to service when the war ended in Japan.

The length of the car - in the T34 \/ 76 version - was 6.68 m, with a width of 3 meters. The armament consisted of a 76.2 mm F-34 gun and two 7.62 mm DT machineguns. The main armament in the T-34\/85 version was the 85mm ZIS-S-53 gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T-34 is undoubtedly one of the most famous tanks in the history of both World War II and military in general, representing a specific symbol of Soviet victory in the war with the Third Reich. The vehicle was developed for the needs of the Red Army as a successor to the so-called pursuit tanks from the BT series (BT-5 and BT-7), but also the T-26 tank. Work on the car started in 1937 in a special design office at the Steam Engine Factory in Kharkiv. Initially, the works were managed by Eng. Adolf Dik (he also made the first sketches of the new car), and after his arrest by the Soviet security authorities, Mikhail Koszkin managed the work. Initially, the vehicle was designated as A-20. However, a second prototype (A-32) was quickly built, with a main armament in the form of a 76.2 mm cannon and much thicker frontal armor. It was the latter prototype that was finally adopted for production. It can be assumed that when it was introduced into service, the TT-34 was a very successful tank in many respects. It was characterized - as in 1940 - with a very strong weapon, it had a well-profiled armor based on sloped armor plates, as well as very high mobility and off-road driving properties. The disadvantages include the very poor ergonomics of the car or the poor optics used in the first production batches. Despite these shortcomings, when the T-34 appeared on the Eastern Front, German troops were greatly surprised by it. The high overall rating of the T-34 and its combat values determined its mass production and making it the basic tank of the Red Army during the fights in 1942-1945. They also resulted in further improvements to the structure, e.g. in 1942 a new hexagonal tower appeared, improving the quality of work of crew members with the commander's cupola. The engine and gearbox were also improved. However, in 1944, the T-34\/85 model was introduced into service, with a completely new three-man turret and the main armament in the form of an 85 mm cannon. The T-34 tank fought in virtually all major battles fought between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front in 1941-1945: starting at the Battle of Moscow, through the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, Operation Bagration, and the capture of Berlin. After 1945, the T-34 tank was still in service, it was also widely exported outside the USSR to countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, East Germany, Hungary and Syria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1:35 scale plastic assembly kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequires glue and paints to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoice of T-34 or OT-34 turret\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommander and loader hatches are positionable (but no interior)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoice of flat hatch or cupola for commander\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional stowage boxes on rear of hull\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePositionable driver's hatch (but no interior)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto-etched engine deck grille\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLink and length track\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoice of road wheels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 marking variations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32731549565060,"sku":"9-13505","price":55.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/products\/9-13505.jpg?v=1584243547"},{"product_id":"acadamy-1-35-german-panzer-iv-ausf-h-ver","title":"Academy 1:35 German Panzer IV Ausf.H.Ver","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1:35 scale plastic ase,mbly kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Requires glue and paints to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e All new-tooled parts\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Color-coded instructions (blue-gray for current parts being assembled, white for completed subassemblies, gray for optional parts choices\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Multi-part lower hull which provides greater strength and surface details\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Lower hull has no holes for motorization\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e New upper hull with anti-slip surfaces molded into the top surfaces (appears to be in the correct areas)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Hull uses overlays to capture the specific details of the version represented in the kit\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Detailed suspension and roadwheels on lower hull\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Rubber (vinyl) track runs\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Positionable crew hatches\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Side skirts can be made removable\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Choice of main gun muzzle brake\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Detailed stowage and pioneering tools on hull\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Detailed turret\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e MG mount on commander's turret\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e 3 marking variations\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32731549630596,"sku":"9-13516","price":88.8,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/products\/9-13516.jpg?v=1584243570"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/3769\/9460\/collections\/R.jpg?v=1750740444","url":"https:\/\/franktonmodels.co.nz\/collections\/academy-plastic-models\/lw.oembed","provider":"Frankton Model Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
