1/35 Scale

Pz.Rgt. 6 Panzer IIIs - Operation Barbarossa (AXT351028). Covering four Panzer IIIs from the Pz.Rgt.6 that operated during Operation Barbarossa. This 3rd Panzer Div unit tanks were rarely seen in good battle condition and in close-up. Most of them were seen destroyed or disabled, but all had that distinctively huge and neat "G" stenciled on their fenders (Panzergruppe 2). All four had a small "Grenadier" symbol garbed with traditional military head gear on both sides of the turret, in front of the tactical numbers. All the numbers are not exactly the same - although very neatly hand-painted. Each set comes with two sheets of decals (plus one 3rd Pz.Div. symbol); so that in case you want to have opened turret klappe, there are spare turret numbers available.

LAH Panzer IV Ausf. Js, 1944-1945 (AXT351030). 7th Kompanie Panzer IV Ausf. Js from the LAH unit during their last days of WWII. From 1944 to 1945. This sheet covers all Ausf. J tanks, mostly early version with Zimmerit, while two were last production with Thoma schurzen, sporting the "ambush" scheme. Most of the digits were not the same although they looked similar. Some early tanks still have the "Braun Ark" stencils on the barrel sleeves. Each set of turret numbers were carefully captured from the best image references available, therefore bringing you the most authentic set of markings in 1/35.

Syrian AFVs (Syrian Civil War 2011) Pt 3: BM-21, Ural 4320, BMP-1, T-55AMV & ZSU-23-4 (D356243). Set of markings covering three BM-21s (Ural 375D based), one Ural-4320 gun truck, one BMP-1, one T-55AMV and one Zsu-23-4.

Ukrainian AFVs (Ukraine-Russia Crisis) Pt 11: BRDM-2, T-64B, T-64BV & Zsu-23-4 (D356244). Featuring three Zsu-23-4s in various camo schemes, one T-64BV with large personalised markings. Also included are intricate emblems of an Artemivsk unit that were used on their T-64B and BRDM-2. Some UAZ 469s were seen with the emblems too.

Russian AFVs in Chechen War (Pt 2): Zil-131, Kamaz-4310, BTR-80, BMP-1P & BTR-80A (D356245). Various Russian AFVs that saw action in the Chechen War. Zil-131 & Kamaz 4310 Zu-23-2 gun trucks. BTR-80 and BTR-80A (rarely seen with full vehicle markings). Lastly but not least, a feisty BMP-1P sporting a Cobra marking, and a colourful and striking camo. All MVD units.

WWII German Early War AFV Markings (D356246). Covering a number of interesting Heer unit markings for the early war German AFVs including soft skins and trucks. Units included are: 97.Le.Inf. Div.; 6.Inf.Div.; 56.Inf.Div.; 122.Inf.Div.; 164.Le.Inf.Div.; Fest.-Div.Kreta; Also included are a variety of Panzergruppe 1, 2, 3 & 4 symbols. Although looking generic, these markings have all been sized properly based on actual vehicle references.

Lebanese Force Christian Militia AFV Markings: T-54B, M113A1, etc (D356247). Variations of the LF Resistance Cross or Salib al-Muqawama included. Various unit markings including one featured on a few AFVs on the instructions: T-54B, M113A1 (some with Zu-23-2s, etc.) and one Mortar carrier. Generic vehicle registration generics are also included that can be used on a wide range of LF AFVs

1/16 Scale

s.Pz.Jg.Abt. 512 Jagdtigers (D166236). A full generic alphanumeric set for s.Pz.Jg.Abt.512 Jagdtigers, thus opening up a lot of options for other possibilities if you do not wish to model after the usual suspects. The styles derived from "X2" for a more accurate representation of the digits used by the unit. The ends of "X" and "Y" reflect the actual letter styles. Also included are the serial number generics seen on early Jagdtigers

Great stuff as always, though I would like to see Echelon do some WW2 Allied sets from time to time.

These are great as I always like to personalize my kits and not build stock and this allows you that customizing option. Appreciated!
