Motorcycles, mainly used by the well known DR “Dispatch Riders” for communication between different units, were converted from civilian bikes with small changes, like military color and the addition of frames for the canvas bags. Triumph proposed in short time the model 3HW, based on the civilian “Tiger 80”, with an overhead valve engine and parallel forks.This model served on all fronts where the British Armed Forces fought, such as Africa, Europe and Asia. After 2nd WW these motorcycles were delivered to many other nations, such as Italy and Greece, where the Triumphs served for a long time thanks to their reliability and robustness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eType: Military vehicles\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Second World War\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Great Britain\u003cbr\u003eSkill: 4\u003cbr\u003eModel Dim.: 23,1 cm\u003cbr\u003eBox Dim.: 373 x 241 x 96 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39493211848792,"sku":"ITA-7402","price":108.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/7402_box.jpg?v=1750820745"},{"product_id":"italeri-52225-synthetic-flat-brush-size-2","title":"Italeri 52225 Synthetic Flat Brush - Size 2","description":"","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39921168023640,"sku":"ITA-52225","price":4.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/ITA52225_562x217_resized.png?v=1781053464"},{"product_id":"italeri-015-1-72-c-130-hercules-e-h","title":"Italeri 015 1:72 C-130 Hercules E\/H","description":"\u003ch1\u003eC - 130 HERCULES E\/H\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e from '90\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKILL\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Dim.\u003c\/strong\u003e 39 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox Dim.\u003c\/strong\u003e 440 X 270 X 105 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C-130 is by far the most widely used tactical cargo plane of the last forty years.

Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and flying urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity, whereas force protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. The AC-130 Gunship arrived in South Vietnam on 21 September 1967 and began combat operations that same year. After the conflict in Vietnam, the U.S. Air Force designed a new range of these aircrafts basing on the C-130 H version, equipped with far more powerful engines, with four-blade propellers and upgraded versions of the navigation and night vision. The AC-130H called “Spectre” were used in all the conflicts involving the U.S. Force of the last decade and, after further upgrades, they are still used in the conflict in Afghanistan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45644823888157,"sku":"ITA-1310","price":109.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/1310_box.jpg?v=1750822598"},{"product_id":"italeri-1436-1-72-heinkel-he-111h","title":"Italeri 1436 1:72 Heinkel HE-111H","description":"\u003ch1\u003eHEINKEL HE111H\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e Bombers and reconnaissance aircrafts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod\u003c\/strong\u003e Second World War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKILL\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Dim.\u003c\/strong\u003e 22,7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox Dim.\u003c\/strong\u003e 345 x 242 x 48 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSUPER DECALS FOR 5 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe medium bomber Heinkel He-111 formed the backbone of the Luftwaffe bomber squadrons during the early stages of the Second World War.
