About the Marder III Ausf M:

Marder III was the name for a series of WWII German tank destroyers. The III series had a more refined purpose-driven look with a stable chassis, mounting four road wheels to a side. They were mounted with either a Soviet 76mm F-22 Model 1936 divisional field gun, or a German 7.5cm PaK 40, on top of the Panzer 38(t) chassis. The Marder III offered little protection to the crew, but added significant firepower compared to contemporary German tanks. Production of the Marder III ran from 1942 to 1944 and served on all fronts until the end of the war.

This Marder III variant was based on the Geschützwagen 38(t) Ausf. M, a vehicle for self-propelled gun use. The Ausf. M offered significant improvements over previous models with its lower silhouette, sloped armor and much more functional fighting compartment. It was adequate in the ambush role, fixed defensive role or calibrated offensive artillery role from a distance. The fighting compartment could be lowered down to the bottom of the floor level, which decreased crew exposure, as well as visibility. Combat effectiveness was increased since the vehicle commander was freed from manning the gun.

About the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 F-8:

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 F-8 is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s and widely used during WWII. Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf-109, the Focke-Wulf 190 became the backbone of the Luftwaffe’s Jagdwaffe (fighter force). The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf-109. This allowed it to be used as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and, to a lesser degree, night fighter. It was known as one of the best German planes of all time.

The Fw 190 was well-liked by its pilots. Some of the Luftwaffe’s most successful fighter aces claimed a great many of their kills while flying it. It participated on every major combat front where the Luftwaffe operated after 1941, and did so with success in a variety of roles.

2118-M1A1-155mm-Howitzer-Action-Webcard-710

About the M1A1 155mm Howitzer:

The M1 155mm Howitzer was one of the main “Heavy” guns used by the US Army during World War II (M1A1 specifically refers to the most common carriage type mated to the M1 Howitzer). This powerful weapon was to destroy buildings, entrenchments and moderately dug-in artillery pieces. Its high arcing fire made it ideal for neutralizing enemy in defilade positions. There were 163 battalions equipped with the 155mm Howitzer during World War II, making it the third numerous type after the lighter 105mm and 75mm howitzers. It’s ability to fire a 100-pound shell in excess of 16000 yards, plus a sustained a rate of fire eight rounds per minute, gave the 155mm howitzer a much more powerful punch than its smaller cousins. The effectiveness of the 155mm howitzer is often cited as a major factor in Allied victory in Europe and its modern-day equivalent (M777) still provides the back bone of US artillery support to this day.

Additional information about this Brickmania custom building kit:

The M1A1 155mm Howitzer kit includes the following features:

  • Fully elevating gun, in excess of 45°
  • Deployable carriage with firing pedestal, split tails, and deployable spades.
  • Made from 126 genuine LEGO® and BrickArms® elements
  • 1/35 scale matches other Brickmania models
  • Intermediate Skill Level (4-6 years of building experience recommended)

This Brickmania model kit is made from genuine unused LEGO, Brickmania, and BrickArms elements and is shipped disassembled. Also included are full-color printed building instructions and is packaged in a sealed box. All Brickmania building kits are limited production and may be discontinued at any time.

2158-Webcard-710

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.

About the AH-1W SuperCobra:

The Bell AH-1 SuperCobra is a twin-engine attack helicopter based on the United States Army’s single-engine AH-1 Cobra. The Marine Corps wanted a greater load carrying capability in high temperatures for the Cobra during the 1970s.

This specific variant had a day/night version with more powerful engines and advanced weapons capability.

The AH-1 SuperCobra has been used extensively through multiple wars including the Iran-Iraq War, Gulf War and the March 2003 Iraq campaign. During the Gulf War, 78 were deployed and flew a total of 1,273 missions into Iraq with no combat losses. Current countries operating this craft include Iran, United States, Turkey and the Republic of China (Taiwan).

July 2017 Hashtag Giveaway

$
0
0

7_2017 - SoMe Posts3

Brickmania is running 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 #

    #desertstormbricks into the post. Alternatively, make a post on your timeline/wall with the hashtag #desertstormbricks. 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 #desertstormbricks. Alternatively, retweet one of our posts and use the hashtag #desertstormbricks in your share.
  • On Instagram, make a new image or take a picture and use the hashtag #desertstormbricks. 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 will 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 gift or gifts (these can be kits, figures, BrickArms, etc)
  • Brickmania staff picks the gifts that are given out; this is not up for debate. If you enter looking for something specific and are upset after winning your gift, we have the right to send your gift off to someone else or donate it to charity
  • Upon selecting a winner, Brickmania staff will produce one post per social media platform announcing the winner to the world through Facebook and Twitter!

Why do we run this monthly event?

  • Brickmania runs these giveaways as a way to connect the community and get involved with our fans
  • We do this out of kindness and fun! All we ask is you share our hashtag around and you instantly get entered into the giveaway and have a fair chance at winning!

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