Under the Versailles peace Treaty, Germany until the early 1930s did not produce armored vehicles, and only in 1932 the firm “Daimler-Benz” has started the production for the army of light biaxial armored car Kfz. 13 and Kfz. 14 machine – gun and communication, weighing just over 2 tons They were created on the chassis of the machine, “Adler DDG” (Adler 3Gd) engine 60 HP, had an open top body of the 8-mm plates and armed with a 7.92 mm MG13 machine guns mounted in the middle of the body behind armored shields. Their crew consisted of two or three people.
GERMAN “PUMA” of the 1940s
A few years ago in the sale appeared first on new sets of blanks for the construction of cord aircraft. They came to replace the outdated (“Flight models” and “Models for air combat”), which modelistica domestic industry produced almost unchanged for decades. The novelty was the “one in three persons”. By changing only the wing span and small variations of the chassis developers managed on the basis of similar items to create and “pilot”, and “rumble”, and even “high-speed” sets. At least, that these names were applied to cardboard boxes with almost the same pieces and drawings…
After reading in the “M-K” on the continuation of the contest “Small mechanization”, decided to take part in it. I propose a simple and compact micromelic. About the size can be judge by the pictures: the whole structure fit on my one hand. It is universal: designed for the production of corn flour of both large and fine grinding, crushing various zernatto and preparation of feed for livestock and poultry in their personal farms.
New racing car was designed on the base of the machine, the drawings and description of which was published in the “M-K” № 11 in 1986. It is considered to be a design boon for most young athletes involved in kordovye micro machines, and as we see it, only this scheme is able today to give the boys access to high sports results without the involvement of technology, completely made by hands of experienced craftsmen.
Came to the end of the Second world war, however, to stop the developing course of the military “machine” was not easy. The fighting was over, however, the industry is yesterday’s allies continued to produce military equipment and to create new types of weapons. One of the reasons for this were civil and national-liberation war in East and South-East Asia, generously sponsored by on the one hand the United States of America, and on the other by the Soviet Union. While testing a testing ground for the warring parties supply of military equipment were Korea and Vietnam.
The first post-war years were marked by the aircraft industry in the rapid development of jet technology. To increase the thrust of gas turbine engines, their efficiency and, most importantly, reliability has allowed us to start building the first jet Airliners. Their success, despite a number of mysterious, at first glance, the disaster was huge, and overcome the “sound barrier” military aircraft and even gave rise to the opinion that passenger planes may have to fly faster than sound. Of course, there be willing to create such a machine, and on paper they all turned out smoothly. It seemed sufficient to reduce the specific fuel consumption of the engine and increased to the necessary level of aerodynamic quality of the airframe, and aircraft, and competitive – ready. However, the reality was much more complicated.
If the past winter has shown that you have carried out the insulation of the apartments (caulking Windows and gluing them to a paper tape) were insufficient, make sure that the following the cold season cold air didn’t blow precious heat.
In many circles of modeling, there is a shortage of good compression motors a working volume of 2.5 cm3. The only satisfactory engine KMD-2,5 for the last time so decreased that the head is forced to look for ways of providing the club good motors.
The fabric covering of aircraft during the second world war, good to simulate on the models-copies in the following way. Not yet primed with white enamel model according to the drawing axis and spaced edges protruding rigid elements (ribs, stringers, edges, edge of junction of the hard covering with canvas, etc.). Then on the markup pasted edges of the copper wire Ø 0,15—0,25 mm.
