C-47 Skytrain - Military Transport Aircraft

About the C-47 Skytrain:

One of the most iconic planes of the Second World War, the Douglas C-47 dropped thousands of paratroopers from the night sky onto the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, playing a crucial role in the transport of troops and supplies throughout every theatre of the war. The Skytrain, as it became known, was crewed by four airmen and flew in “serials” of up to 50 planes during combat missions. It remains in service in countries around the world to this day.

WWII US Normandy Invasion Pilot - Crew For C-47

WWII US Normandy Invasion Pilot – Crew for C-47

Crew your Brickmania C-47 Skytrain with this custom WWII US Normandy Invasion Pilot. Different from most airplane crews, the Normandy invasion pilots were equipped with a uniform under their flight jacket that was identical to the ground invasion force. That way if their plane went down, the crew could join the ground forces already in combat.

The Brickmania WWII US Normandy Invasion Pilot minifigure features a 360-degree UV print designed by Lando, and printed in house by Brickmania’s UV print team.

WWII US Filthy Thirteen Paratrooper

Filthy Thirteen Paratroopers

Officially titled the 1st Demolition Section of the 101st Airborne Division, the Filthy Thirteen earned their name by their general disregard for military structure and refusing to follow hygiene protocol (shower) in order to use water to cook game while stationed in England. The group also donned Native American Mohawk haircuts inspired by their First Sergeant Jake ‘McNasty’ McNiece who was part Choctaw Indian.

Brickmania’s Filthy Thirteen minifigure features both a Mohawk and a custom-printed helmet, and face paint true to that worn during Operation Overlord. This minifig was created by Lando and features a 360-degree UV print design.

WWII Red Cross Donut Dolly - With Texture Printed Donuts

Red Cross Clubmobile Service (Donut Dollies)

A tradition stretching back to the First World War, the Donut Dollies were women who graciously volunteered to boost soldier morale by operating Red Cross vehicles that delivered coffee, donuts, music, and other small comforts to the troops in Europe and Asia. After the invasion of Normandy, eight converted GMC trucks traveled with the rear echelon of the Army providing services to both fighting soldiers and liberated POWs.

The Red Cross Donut Dolly has artwork inspired by the standard Red Cross uniform, designed by Lando and custom printed by the Brickmania UV Print Team.

T-90MS Tagil - Main Battle Tank

About the T-90MS Tagil – Main Battle Tank:

An upgrade on the T-90, the T-90MS Tagil is the current main battle tank produced by the Russian Federation. This variant features several updates in targeting technology, armor, and crew protection. Like many modern tanks, it strives to combine firepower, armor, and speed into a small package. Featuring a protected auto-loader cassette in the hull floor and speeds up to 35 mph (60 km/h), the Tagil is an excellent armored contender in 21st-century warfare.

At first glance, what sets the Tagil apart from its predecessors is the turret. Ammunition storage scattered around the crew compartment was the main cause of fires in the T-72 tank. Ten rounds of ammunition are now stored in a new protected bustle on the back of the turret instead of inside the crew compartment. Like other modern MBTs, the Tagil is equipped with rangefinders and machine guns that can be operated from inside the tank, reducing risk to the crew. It also deploys reactive armor and can be outfitted with an urban survival package.

Fairly new (2011) in design, the Tagil has seen combat in the Syrian Civil War, although not much is known about its effectiveness in the conflict.

Specifications:

  • Crew: 3
  • Armament: 125mm smoothbore 2A46M5, 2x 7.62 machine guns
  • Powerplant: V-84S2F diesel
  • Speed: 35 mph (60 km/h)
  • Range: 341 mi (550 km)

Additional information about this Brickmania custom building kit:

The T-90MS Tagil – Main Battle Tank includes the following features:

  • Brickmania Track Links™
  • Printed elements
  • Custom-printed Russian tanker minifigure
  • Rotating turret with elevating gun
  • Opening hatches
  • Rotating (simulated) Kord machine gun
  • 1/35th scale to match other Brickmania kits

All Brickmania model kits are made of new-condition LEGO bricks. This model comes disassembled and includes complete printed building instructions and comes packaged in a sealed box. This is a limited-edition kit and production may be discontinued at any time.

About the Vietnam US LRRP

An elite fighting force, the U.S. LRRP (Long-range reconnaissance patrol) were deployed during the Vietnam War as a part of the 101st Airborne Division.

These soldiers conducted over 23,000 long-range patrols during the war. In 1969, all LRRP units were transferred to the 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger).

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.

Vietnam Bricks: Models from the War in SE Asia using LEGO® Bricks

The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, was a war that took place in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from November 1955 to the fall of Saigon in April of 1975. It was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese army was backed by the Soviet Union, China, and other communist allies, and the South Vietnamese Army was backed by the United States, South Korea, Australia, Thailand, and other anti-communist allies.

A great amount of opposition to the United States involvement in the war grew over the years. This ultimately lead to American forces pulling out of the war between 1973-1975. The North Vietnamese began a string of offensive attacks. During April 1975, Saigon fell and was taken by the North Vietnamese army. The Vietnam war is often referenced as more of a proxy-war, due to each side of Vietnam receiving support from opposing countries.
