Specialist vehicles were introduced to supply arms and equipment to waiting machines and maintenance tasks were made easier through the introduction of specialised equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanization of these tasks and duties is well represented in this set. While not as glamorous as their flying counterparts, the contribution played by trucks, tractors, and vans, as well as the men that crewed them, cannot be forgotten, or underestimated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234355413259,"sku":"A05330","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/airfix-a05330-wwii-raf-bomber-resupply-set.jpg?v=1749031009"},{"product_id":"airfix-a06304-1-72-wwii-usaaf-bomber-resupply-set","title":"WWII USAAF Bomber Resupply Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs US bomber operations began to take place at airfields all over Southern England from the summer of 1942, the vehicles used in servicing their Liberators and Flying Fortresses were slowly changing from the standard RAF support vehicles, to specialised US Air Force equipment. From fuel trailers to bomb trolleys, Bedfords were quickly being replaced by Chevrolets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAutocar U-7144-T 4X4 tractor unit and F-1 fuel trailer. The U-7144-T was used extensively by the US military from 1942 onwards and was certainly found on most, if not all USAAF airfields in Britain, particularly in conjunction with the standard F-1 fuel trailer. With many aircraft requiring refuelling on a daily basis, it was usual for each base to have numerous examples of the U-7144-T available at any one time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChevrolet M6 bomb service truck. This utility 4X4 truck was capable of carrying a small number of bombs in its own right, but was more commonly used in conjunction with the M5 bomb trailer. Indeed, it was capable of towing up to five fully loaded M5 bomb trailers, which was just as well considering the number of missions USAAF bomber crews were required to undertake. The new set will also include the M5 bomb trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCushman Model 39 Package Car. This light, three wheeled utility vehicle will have been used for a multitude of light duties on USAAF bases. A development of a motor scooter design, the single wheel at the back provided the power for the vehicle, which allowed a small cargo box to be fitted at the front. Again, the Cushman would have been a regular feature on a USAAF airfield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234355446027,"sku":"A06304","price":31.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/airfix-a06304-wwii-usaaf-bomber-resupply-set.jpg?v=1749031015"},{"product_id":"airfix-a50162a-1-76-d-day-operation-overlord-diorama-set","title":"D-Day Operation Overlord [diorama set]","description":"\u003cp\u003eEarly on the morning of June 6th 1944 the combined forces of the Allied armies landed on the Normandy beaches in Northern France in the most ambitious and important operation of the Second World War. With airborne troops already on the ground and fighting, the sea-borne element of the force began landing. This phase of the operation was codenamed Neptune and consisted of five invasion beaches, three British and Canadian (Sword, Gold and Juno) and two American beaches (Omaha and Utah). The landings themselves were preceded both by a powerful air attack and by a fierce naval artillery barrage from a vast armada of ships anchored off-shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of the beaches were taken with casualties, but no severe losses, except for Omaha where the American troops were pinned down after the naval bombardment failed to destroy the German defences. But even this obstacle was overcome and once the beach-heads were secure, Allied troops and equipment were quickly brought ashore, ready to continue on and liberate the occupied countries of Western Europe and ultimately to defeat Germany and win the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection comes from the Normandy beach-head, with tanks, landing craft, trucks, a gun emplacement, soldiers and a diorama base to enable you to recreate this momentous day.

The control of the bridge, renamed in code “Pegasus” was a key point to make secure the eastern flank of the operational scenario and to prevent German armour troops counterattack that could reach the Allied landing area at Sword beach. The British paratroopers, in Horsa gliders, landed near the bridge and, thanks to a rapid and effective action, defeated the German troops that defended the bridge. Even today the Pegasus Bridge is a point of reference for all those who visit the most significant places of “Overlord”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51481442091275,"sku":"6194","price":73.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/italeri-6194-pegasus-bridge-airborne-assault-battle-set-1.jpg?v=1750697644"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/de\/collections\/typ-mil-truck-diorama-kit.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
