Bulldog Tank (Winter-Weathered)
1:18 SCALE IS FOR USE WITH 4 INCH FIGURES
This is an authentic 1:18 scale replica of a Vietnam era M41 Walker Bulldog tank. This tank has been "winterized" and includes one figure. Packaged on a black display case in a window box. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
The M41 "Walker Bulldog" Tank was a light tank designed to be air-transportable and to provide mobile firepower in combat. The M41 was developed from the T37 series of light tank designs from World War II. Design began in 1949 with the intent of creating a replacement for the M24 Chaffee. The M41 is named for Gen. W.W. Walker who was killed in a jeep accident in Korea.
While the M41 was highly maneuverable, reasonably potent, simple to operate, and effective in combat, it also used fuel at an alarming rate and was extremely noisy. Its main gun was fully stabilized and very accurate for the time. Produced in the 1950´s by Cadillac´s Cleveland Tank Plant with first production models completed in 1951. By 1953 the M41 Bulldog had totally replaced the M24 Chaffee. The US did not use the M41 in combat in Vietnam but did provide a number of them to the South Vietnamese during 1965 as part of a massive re-equipment program. The M41 was highly effective against North Vietnamese T-54/55 tanks in the Vietnam war with its 76mm gun. However, in Vietnam the M41 suffered from being too light for most traditional battlefield support tasks and too heavy for most internal security tasks.

It's time to go to the air. Our first selection is again from Great Models. It is a Dragon Wings is a politically correct FW 190 A-3. While I like the Dragon line of airplanes, I don't like the fact that I have to add decals to the tail of the German planes to make them historically accurate. But if PC is OK with you or you don't mind slapping on a couple of decals that are not included, at $11.95, this plane might be for you.
