After the Second world war, the army of the victorious countries have experienced a surplus of armored vehicles. Most directly it was the most massive tank of the Western allies, “Sherman”. Suffice it to say that by the end of the summer of 1945 in the army of the coalition, there were about 20 thousand military vehicles of this type. It is quite natural that from such a number of tanks, which has become unnecessary in time of peace, it was necessary to get rid of. Alternative to send to the smelter, which is also widely practiced, was the transfer or sale of tanks to other countries.

The triumph of the Soviet athlete V. Extencive in the class of models of gliders ended the world championship in 1973. Short nose and a relatively small shoulder are the main design features of the model of a champion. The layout is very different from the standard, which is used by most of our leading modelers.
In the “M-K” №1 – 2015 we have published information about the designs, created in the circle of “Technical creativity” Yakovlevskaya Polytechnic College of the Belgorod region under the leadership Skarina Vasily Yurevich. We present several co-constructions of this team.
Ships across the Seven seas. In the history of navigation between 1845 and 1875 called “the Swan song of sail”, or “era of the clipper ships”*. Clipper as a type of sailing ship appeared in America.
In Italy, the design and manufacture of helicopters is concentrated mainly in the company Agusta (Construzione Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta SpA), located in Gallart in the North of the country. In 50-ies of the last century Agusta started the licensed production of helicopters, American firms Bell, Boeing Vertol co and Sikorsry Aircraft.
When lighting and electricity were cheap, the question of cost-conscious approach when choosing lighting stairwells seriously anyone is not intended. But life has taught everyone to count every penny, so convinced of the feasibility of using the machine include a ladder and corridor lighting (ALLCO) there is no need. The question is: which of the many existing developments to choose?
Tables-books known for a long time and they are invariably in demand since they take up little space. But buy in the store table the right size is not always possible, so often have to rely on their own hands and ingenuity.
Technical progress in the design and construction of Amateur small engines in recent years has become particularly noticeable. The pioneer Amateur motor construction in our country was L. Komarov (syut city of Zlatoust), which in 1962 was designed, manufactured and successfully tested them built the microplane “the Kid” two-cylinder engine capacity of around 35 HP, 80% of which consisted of parts from a motorcycle “IZH-56”.
We have previously described a pretty complicated path of development of the French submarine fleet before the First world war (see “M-K” No. 4 of 2014), consisting in the infinite “adjustment to the ideal of” small series of submarines that are created by different designers, had sometimes opposite views on what should be an underwater vehicle, using a variety of engines. But they have all been very far from ideal, and often just a little efficient. Although gradually emerging common to all ship builders in different countries the idea is pretty universal large boats, the French version of the fatal August of 1914 looked still very indistinct.
For model railroad two rail strips are made from sheet aluminum. They need to be screwed to a wooden block. They mounted on the side bars of wood that make up the profile of the mound. In the corners between the rails and the wooden blocks glued slats that allow you to save the profile rail. On top of the mound, stick the strap-sleepers. After assembling the pieces of wood with glue BF, sprinkle with a mixture of river fishing line and crushed slag. A thin layer of this mixture clinging to the tree, creates the semblance of a mound. The sizes are selected depending on the scale of the models.
