Revell of Germany has several new releases – some from the
past – some flying, some tracked, some on foot and some from outer space. We
thought you could use some info and pictures of them built up to see what’s-a-comin’

The German army LeFlaSys (Light Air Defence System) is one
of the most advanced short ranger air defence systems in the world. Air targets
can be spotted, identified, detected and successfully attacked up to a distance
of 6 km. In addition it is highly mobile and airportable. The system consists
of various vehicles which together form the LeFlaSys system. The vehicles are
based among other things on the light armoured tracked vehicle Wiesel (weasel)
2.
The AFF (reconnaissance, command and control vehicle) is the eyes and brains
of the system. Its 3D radar acquires the targets and transfers the target data
by radio to the "Ozelot" (ocelot) weapons carrier which then launches
up to four type FIM-92 "Stinger" or "Igla" surface/air
guided missiles. Four more guided missiles are carried in rear ammunition
stowage compartments. Five "Ozelot" and one AFF form one convoy,
three convoys form one battery (Bttr), which also includes the two battery
command/support cell vehicles (BF/UF) also on Wiesel 2s. The system was
procured by the German army from 2001 onwards.

Developed by the U.S.
space agency NASA the "Space Shuttle" is the only re-usable Space
Transportation System in the world. The main components are the Space Shuttle
(Orbiter) with three re-usable main engines, an external fuel tank and two
solid fuel rockets with a total take-off thrust of 12.46 MN (1,270,566 kp). The
Space Shuttle can convey a 24.5 ton payload as well as 7 astronauts into a Low
Earth Orbit of between 200 and 650 kilometres. The fourth Space Shuttle
"Atlantis" has completed 35 missions since the 3rd October 1985. In
2012 the shuttle program was discontinued after a period 30 years.

The Bf109 is one of the Luftwaffe's most famous Second World
War fighter aircraft. The Bf109G-10 fitted with the uprated DB-605D engine and
a 50-MW injection unit rolled out of the Erla factory in Leipzig from September
1944 onwards. The design of the Bf109 G-10's manufactured by Erla differed from
those produced by other companies through a completely modified, more
aerodynamic engine cowling. All aircraft were equipped to carry a 300 litre
drop-tank and drop bombs. Due to its lower take-off weight the G-10 had better
performance than its successor the Bf109,K-4. Including all variants the German
Luftwaffe took delivery of over 2000 Bf109 G-10.

At 09:32hrs on 16th
July 1969 the giant Saturn V rocket was launched from the launchpad at Cape
Canaveral on the most important journey in the history of mankind. The giant
Saturn V consisted of three main stages was 110 meters (361 ft) high and
weighed 3,000 tons. It could carry a payload of 50 tons and reach a speed of
11.2 km/second (25050 mph). The 394,000 km ( 244,800 mile) journey to the moon
took 72 hours.
After achieving low Earth Orbit, the upper assembly with the
Apollo Capsule received a final push from the third stage rocket thrusters to
achieve the speed required for its flight to the moon. Later the Apollo module
broke away from the rocket, turned and pulled the Lunar Module from its
protective covering. Coupled together like this, the combination eventually
reached the Moon and entered lunar orbit. After several Lunar orbits the Lunar
Module with the astronauts N. Armstrong and E. Aldrin on board separated from
the Command Module in which only the astronaut M. Collins remained. With two
firings of the retro rockets the Lunar Module commenced its final approach into
the "Sea of Tranquillity". This historic event will be remembered for
eternity.

Early in 1941, the German supreme command dispatched the
Africa Corps to aid its Italian allies in Libya. By the summer of 1942, these well-equipped
troops had pushed the numerically vastly superior British out of Libya and back
into Egypt. After the battle of el-Alamein, however, the exhausted
German-Italian army was forced to withdraw.
