The Denison Smock is one of my favorite articles of clothing from WWII. I love how simple yet effective the camouflage pattern is. This is modeled after a 1st pattern smock, an earlier version, when the camouflage was actually painted by hand. This rudimentary process created the beautiful brushstrokes and blending you see in the pattern. Trying to capture that look was the hardest part of this design. Another element to note would be the face. We’ve used this face before on past minifigures, but this time I’ve added a camouflage pattern.

About the Sherman Firefly Vc:

The Sherman Firefly was a tank used by the Commonwealth in the United Kingdom and Allied armored formations in WWII. It was based on the US M4 Sherman but fitted with the powerful 3-inch caliber British 17 pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Originally conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle mounting the 17 pounder in the war. After the difficult problem of getting the gun to fit in the Sherman’s turret was solved (by W.G.K Kilboun, a Vickers engineer), the Firefly was put into production in early 1944. It soon became highly valued as the only British tank capable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it faced in Normandy at standard combat ranges. In recognition of this, German tank and anti-gun crews were instructed to attack Fireflies first.

The Sherman VC and IC variants are easily distinguished by their lower hulls; the VC having a rivet hull with a curved shape, while the IC has a welded and angled lower hull. Despite being a high priority target, Fireflies appear to have had a statistically lower chance of being knocked out than the standard Sherman. This was probably due more to how they were employed than actual effectiveness of the attempted camouflaging of the long barrel. The nickname “Firefly” is not found in wartime official documents, but was adopted due to the bright muzzle flash of the main gun.

About the LC-130 Hercules – NYAG:

The Lockheed LC-130 is a ski-equipped variant of the United States Air Force C-130 Hercules used in the Arctic and Antarctic. Ten are currently in service with the 109^th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard. The LC-130 started as a prototype model developed by modifying a C-130A with skis in 1956. The primary mission of the LC-130 is supporting the scientific community in Antarctica by transporting cargo and personnel from the McMurdo station to field stations and camps, including the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station.

The aircraft is equipped with retractable skis that allow it to land on snow and ice as well as conventional runways. It has provisions for using jet-assisted-takeoff (JATO) rockets, four on each side of the craft, that are used when the LC-130 operates from rough unprepared snow surfaces, or when shorter takeoff runs are needed. There are two current versions of the LC-130 in operation, the LC-130H-2 and LC130H-3.

About the 3.7cm Flak 37:

The 3.7cm Flak was a series of anti-aircraft cannons produced by Germany that saw widespread service in WWII. The cannon was fully automatic and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200 m. It was produced in both towed and self-propelled versions. The Germans at the time used their anti-aircraft pieces in ground support roles as well. The 37mm caliber guns were no exception. With Germany’s defeat, production ceased and the Flak 37 was replaced by the Bofors 40mm gun, and later by the 35mm anti-aircraft pieces produced in Switzerland.

The original 37 mm gun was developed by Rheinmetall in 1935 as the 3.7cm Flak 18. Later in the war, a newer simplified sighting system was developed and produced into the 3.7cm Flak 37.

Specifications:

• Service history: 1936-1945
• Number built: 20,243 (Germany) + 260 (Romania)
• Weight: 3,417 lbs

Brickmania has decided to run another hashtag social media giveaway event for the entire month! We often receive questions about how it works, and have decided to make a FAQ to answer general questions.

How do I enter the giveaway?

• On Facebook, share one of our posts to your timeline and insert the hashtag #wunderwaffebrick into the post. Alternatively, make a post on your timeline/wall with the hashtag #wunderwaffebrick. Note: Unless your Facebook account is set to public, we cannot see a private post on your wall. Additionally, using the hashtag as a comment in one of our posts, does not count. Continued spamming of the hashtag in the same post can disqualify you.
• On Twitter, tweet using the hashtag #wunderwaffebrick. Alternatively, retweet one of our posts and use the hashtag #wunderwaffebrick in your share.
• On Instagram, make a new image or take a picture and use the hashtag #wunderwaffebrick. Note, unless your profile/image is public, the post cannot be seen by anyone but you. Keep in mind that spamming/using the hashtag as a comment on one of our images not only does not qualify for an entry, but repeated use can result in disqualification.

Can I enter more than once?

• Yes, you can enter as many times as you like! It can raise the chance of becoming that week’s winner significantly.

Why does commenting on posts not count?

• Something that we have learned from past events is that people often comment on our own posts through Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag. This does not count, and repeated use can result in complete disqualification.
• The purpose of running a hashtag giveaway is to share our content to new people; commenting on Brickmania posts does not share our brand, products, name, etc

What do I get if I win? How will I know if I won?

• Each week, Brickmania staff will compile a list of everyone who has entered to that point in the month (it is retroactive, so if you entered on January 3rd, later in the month, it will still count)
• A winner will be selected for each week randomly from one of the three social media networks we are doing the giveaway on. The winner will be contacted through that platform’s Direct Messaging system (it is important that if you want to enter, make sure you have a way to directly communicate with us)
• When the winner is selected, they will receive a kit (new or restock), which will be sent through the mail straight to their address!
• Upon selecting a winner, Brickmania staff will produce one post per social media platform announcing the winner to the world!

*These rules can be changed at any time, and Brickmania reserves the right to change and tweak things if needed

About the Messerschmitt Me-262 Swallow:

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world’s first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Design work started before WWII began, but problems with engines, metallurgy and top-level interference kept the aircraft from operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. The Me 262 was faster and more heavily armed than the Allied fighter, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor. One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during WWII, the Me 262’s roles included light bomber, reconnaissance and experimental night fighter versions. Me 262 pilots claimed a total of 542 Allied kills, although higher claims are sometimes made.

The Allies countered its potential effectiveness in the air by attacking the aircraft on the ground and during takeoff and landing While German use of the aircraft ended with the close of WWII, a small number were operated by the Czechoslovak Air Force until 1951. Captured Me 262s were studied and flight tested by the major powers, and ultimately influenced the designs of a number of post-war aircraft such as the North American F-86 Sabre and Boeing B-47 Stratojet. A number of aircraft have survived on static display in museums, and there have also been several privately built flying reproductions that use the modern J-85 jet engine.

About the Battleship Yamato:

The IJN Yamato was the lead ship of the Yamato class of Imperial Japanese Navy WWII battleships. She and her sister ship, Musashi, were the heaviest battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,800 tons at full load and armed with nine 46cm (18.1 inch) 45 Caliber Type 94 main guns, which were the largest guns ever mounted on a warship. Neither ship survived the war. The Yamato was designed to counter the numerically superior battleship fleet of the United States. She was laid down in 1937 and formally commissioned a week after the Pearl Harbor attack in late 1941. Throughout 1942, she served as the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet. In June 1942 Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto directed the fleet from her bridge during the Battle of Midway, a disastrous defeat for Japan. Although present at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944, she played no part in the battle.

The only time Yamato fired her main guns at enemy surface targets was in October 1944, when she was sent to engage American forces invading the Philippines during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. On the verge of success, the Japanese forces turned back, believing they were engaging an entire US carrier fleet. In reality it was just a light escort carrier group that was all that stood between the battleship and the vulnerable troop transports. On April 7 1945, she was sunk by American carrier-based bombers and torpedo bombers with the loss of most of her crew.

Developed in great secrecy, the T-34 was Russia’s answer to the growing military threat of Germany in the 1930s. Incorporating many new and innovative features, such as the Christie suspension system and sloping armor, its success was considered a gamble by the Communist Party bosses. While the Soviet Union already had a heavy tank series in production (KV series), the T-34 program was given the go ahead. Stalin’s rationale was that the designers could always be executed if the project failed. While not in full production when Hitler unleashed Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union, the appearance of the T-34 stunned the German High Command. Not only was the T-34 able to withstand almost anything the Germans could throw at it, but its 76mm gun could easily knock out both Panzer IIIs and IVs, then the heaviest tanks in the German arsenal.

The M1 Abrams is the current main battle tank (MBT) used by the United States Army, US Marine Corps and several allied nations around the world. It is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Chief of Staff of the US Army (1972-1974), commander of operations in Vietnam War (1968-1972) and decorated regimental commander in Patton’s Third Army during World War II.

The origins of the M1 date back to a joint US / German main battle tank program during the 1970s. While this project was eventually canceled,  the technology developed was used in the German Leopard II and the American M1 Abrams MBTs. The M1 Abrams introduced many innovative features such as an aircraft turbine powerpack, composite “Chobham” armor, and ammunition stowage separated from the crew compartment. When the Abrams’ original 105mm rifled main gun barrel was replaced with the 120mm smooth bore gun developed for the Leopard II, the tank was then re-designated the M1A1. A program to further improve the Abrams was introduced in 1992 and the designation was again changed to M1A2. Improvements included separate thermal sights for the commander and various technological upgrades.

The Abrams was first combat tested in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, where it outperformed any of the Russian-supplied equipment of the Iraqi Army. Improvements continue to be made to the Abrams  to keep up with technological advances and different battlefield conditions.

M1A2 Abrams Vital Statistics

• Crew: 4 (driver, gunner, loader & commander)
• Weight: 68 tons (62 metric tons)
• Armament: Main Gun: 120mm M256 smoothbore cannon (42 rounds) M2HB .50 caliber heavy machine gun, 2 x M240 7.62mm machine guns
• Road Speed: 42mph (67 km/h)

A vise is a mechanical apparatus used to secure an object to allow work to be performed on it. Vises have two parallel jaws, one fixed and the other movable, threaded in and out by a screw and lever. There are multiple variants of vises for different tasks. Woodworking vises are attached to a workbench, typically flush with its work surface. Their jaws are made of wood or metal, (the latter usually faced with wood), called cheeks, to avoid marring the work. The movable jaw may include a retractable dog to hold work against a bench dog.

A workbench is a sturdy table at which manual work is done. They range from simple flat surfaces to very complex designs that may be considered tools in themselves. Workbenches vary in size from tiny jewelers benches to the huge benches used by staircase makers. Almost all workbenches are rectangular in shape, often using the surface, corners and edges as flat/square and dimension standards.

An engineer’s vise, also known as a metalworking vise or machinists vise, is used to clamp metal instead of wood. It is used to hold metal when filing or cutting. It is sometimes made of cast steel or malleable cast iron, but most are made of cast iron. Some vises have a cast iron body but a steel channel bar. An engineer’s vise is bolted onto the top surface of a workbench, with the face of the fixed jaws just forward of its front edge. Additional variants of a vise are machine, vacuum, pipe, clamp-on, or a combination.

This kit has the following features:

• Practical swiveling action
