About the K2 Black Panther:
Demonstrating enhanced mobility and performance, the K2 Black Panther is the Republic of Korea’s high-tech main battle tank suited for the 21st-century battlefield. The Black Panther has several state-of-the-art updates from the K1 series including a faster reload time, higher muzzle velocity, and the ability to ford rivers at an incredible depth of thirteen feet.

Restock: Bricks in the Sand Pt. 1: Building Instructions for Operation Desert Storm Using LEGO® Bricks
The Persian Gulf War followed the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait with a short conflict consisting of a U.S.-led coalition. Beginning in 1991, major military operations were short-lived as the Iraqi military was not prepared for the swiftness and precision of coalition forces. Although the conflict ended quickly, the failure to remove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein from power would later result in the Second Gulf War of 2003.
The kits in this book are selected to give the builder a historical view of Operation Desert Storm.

The F-14 Tomcat was designed during the Cold War to help defend carrier-based operations against Soviet-built MiG fighter jets and was capable of flying more than twice the speed of sound. The F-14’s advanced weapons system could track 24 hostiles and attack six targets simultaneously using the AIM-54 Phoenix missile.

Restock: Rats and Foxes – Building Instructions for WWII in the Desert using LEGO® Bricks
The North African campaign of WWII took place in North Africa from June 10, 1940 to May 13 1943. It included campaigns fought in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts, and in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The campaign was fought between the Allies and Axis powers, many of whom had colonial interests in Africa dating back from the late 19th century. Fighting began with the Italian declaration of war on June 10, 1940. On June 14, the British Army’s 11th Hussars crossed the border from Egypt into Libya and captured the Italian Fort Capuzzo. Information gleaned via British Ultra code-breaking intelligence proved critical to Allied success in North Africa. Victory for the Allies in this campaign immediately led to the Italian campaign, which ultimately culminated in the downfall of the fascist government in Italy and the elimination of a German ally.

New Release: WWI German Flame Trooper
About the WWI German Flame Trooper
Carried by specially trained stormtroopers, British troops first faced this terrifying weapon in battle near Malancourt in 1915. This weapon was brutal in nature — three or four Flammenwerfer stormtroopers would surround a pillbox or assault a trench from 30–40 feet away. This weapon also had a psychological effect as many troops would simply surrender when they saw one on the battlefield.
Artwork for the WWI German Flame Trooper is designed by Lando and printed by the talented Brickmania UV Print Team!

Restock: F4U Corsair – WWII Carrier-Based Fighter-Bomber
About the F4U Corsair – WWII Carrier-Based Fighter-Bomber:
A legend of World War II, the F4U Corsair saw significant combat in the Pacific Theater after 1943. This carrier-based fighter-bomber boasted an impressive kill ratio of 11:1 against Japanese fighters such as the Zero. Its bomber capabilities helped support major operations at the Marshall Islands, Okinawa, and Iwo Jima by performing dive-bomb strikes against fortified Japanese positions. The story is that the Japanese referred to the warplane as “Whistling Death” for the noise it made as it dove for an attack run.

Restock: M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer
Designed for quick movement, this 75mm gun could be broken down into several pieces to enable ease of transport by simple wheeled carriages or pack animals when traveling over rough terrain. As period artillery was difficult and heavy to move, this gun’s mobility meant it could be deployed in operations where heavier artillery was impossible to use, namely amphibious and airborne missions. It was even deployed with British gliders during Operation Market Garden in 1944.
Specifications:
- Crew: 6
- Production: 5,000
- Range: 5 mi (9 km)
Restock: ZiS-3 – 76mm Divisional Gun M1942
About the ZiS-3 – 76mm Divisional Gun M1942:
The ZiS-3 76mm Field Gun M1942 was the most common medium artillery piece used by the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War (World War II). From a historical standpoint, the ZiS-3 is often considered the best field gun in the war. This versatile weapon could be deployed as both a field gun and an anti-tank weapon. Its eight-mile range was instrumental in holding off the initial Nazi advance long enough for the Red Army to regroup and throw the invaders back.
Over 60,000 were produced during the war. After World War II, remaining guns were supplied to Soviet satellite states. Remarkably, some were still being used at the beginning of the 21st century.
