US Army M1088 FMTV Tractor with AN/TPY-2 X Band Radar Trailer
The Oshkosh M1088 5-ton Tractor is a variant of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) series used by the US Army. Designed for line-haul transport duties, it is used to tow semi-trailers carrying a wide range of equipment, including vehicles, engineering equipment, and missile system components. Vehicles can also be fitted with a self-recovery winch to support recovery and retrieval operations.
The M1088 is equipped with an LTAS (Long-Term Armour Strategy) compliant cab.
The AN/TPY-2 is a transportable X-band, phased-array radar developed for ballistic missile defence. The system can operate in two configurations: Terminal Mode and Forward-Based Mode.
In Terminal Mode, the radar operates as the primary sensor of the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence) system. It detects and tracks ballistic missile targets during the latter stages of flight, providing tracking data to support engagement and interception.
In Forward-Based Mode, the radar is positioned closer to potential launch areas to detect and track ballistic missiles during their boost and early midcourse phases. Information collected by the radar is passed to the wider missile defence network, providing early warning and tracking data to support missile defence operations.

Russian Kamov Ka-52 Alligator Hokum-B Scout-Attack Helicopter
All-weather combat helicopter developed by the Kamov Design Bureau. It is a twin-seat derivative of the Ka-50 and is designed to engage armoured and unarmoured ground targets as well as low-speed aerial threats.
Based on the Ka-50 airframe, the Ka-52 features a redesigned forward fuselage with a side-by-side two-seat cockpit. The nose is wider due to the revised cockpit armour layout and the installation of a nose-mounted radome. The 30 mm cannon and six wing-mounted hardpoints from the Ka-50 were retained.
The helicopter is equipped with a catapult crew-rescue system incorporating ejection seats and a rocket-assisted parachute.
The Ka-52 carries anti-tank missiles, rockets, and air-to-air missiles on its six external weapon stations.
Radar equipment is mounted in the nose, while the day/night thermal sighting system is housed in spherical turrets beneath the nose.
11 sprues & tyres. Folding rotor blades. Opening nose with 3D-printed equipment compartment.

British Royal Navy Buccaneer S.2D Strike Aircraft.
The Blackburn/Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S.2D was a late-generation Royal Navy strike aircraft variant derived from the Buccaneer S.2 — itself an improved development of the original Buccaneer S.1, fitted with more powerful Rolls-Royce Spey Mk.101 turbofans, strengthened structures, upgraded avionics, and full naval features including wing folding and carrier-landing gear. Building on this enhanced S.2 airframe, the S.2D introduced the complete Martel missile capability along with further refinements for advanced maritime strike operations. It was designed for sustained low-level, high-speed attack missions, able to penetrate modern air defences and deliver anti-ship or land-attack weapons with precision.
