BOOST SCALE REALISM WITH ROBART RETRACTS AND ACCESSORIESFor smooth performance and superior scale detail, nothing beats Robart retracts. RC pilots have trusted the brand’s innovative, dependable products for over 45 years. They include pneumatic and mechanical retracts for aircraft such as large-scale Top Flite® warbirds. Robart also manufactures accessories like air line restrictors and quick disconnects. Make your flying experience the best it can be – choose Robart.

Robart retract features: ❚ Assembled and ready to install for ultimate convenience

❚ Super-strong aircraft-grade aluminum and steel construction

❚ Functional chrome moly steel oleo struts with height and toe-in adjustability

❚ Amp-Out circuitry shuts off the motor when there are travel limits or obstructions, preventing battery drain

❚ Positive up and/or down locks

❚ 6-month labor and 1-year parts warranties

Accessories:Robart complements their best-selling retracts with a wide range of accessories. Popular choices include Aluminum Air Line Restrictors, which reduce the cycle speed of pneumatic retracts for added scale realism, and the Ultra Fueler, a four-valve fuel switch that simplifies fill-ups for airplanes with pressurized tank systems. Other flight line essentials, too, like High Pressure Air Tubing, threaded aluminum Air Line Retainer Fittings and lightweight Air Line Quick Disconnects, are great additions to any flight caddy.

“I have used Robart retracts since the early prototypes, and they have always worked great!” - Dan Landis, RC pilot and Top Flite

One of the first supersonic aircraft in the US Air Force inventory, the Super Sabre entered service in the fifties. The F-version, represented by this kit, was a twin-seat aircraft originally intended as an instructor/student aircraft to facilitate the Air Force-wide transition from subsonic to supersonic aircraft. Later on, the second seat made the Sabre F-100F perfect for hunting Vietnamese antiaircraft positions. Kit features a super decals sheet with markings for three air forces.

Both aircraft and unarmored ships could be blasted apart with this superior armament. Kit features photo-etched parts, upgraded mold, full decals, and over 600 highly detailed parts.

First the rains came. Unpaved roads became a sea of mud, the dreaded “Rasputitsa”. Wheeled and half tracked vehicles sank straight into the mire. The German offensive slowed. Then came winter, bitter cold for which the Germans were totally unprepared. The offensive ground to halt. To push through once more, Germany deployed the “Raupenschlepper Ost”. This full-tracked vehicle could haul supplies and artillery over the worst mud. Its pressed-steel cab and wooden, drop-side bed became a fixture of the Easter Front. Kit features RSO, seven figures, accessories, and decals for five versions.

Tamiya America 1/35 British Self-PropelledAnti-Tank Gun ArcherBackwards British battlerLiterally a 17-pounder anti-tank gun mounted backwards on a Valentine tank chassis, the “Archer” provided much-needed mobility to one of the few guns in the Allied inventory capable of knocking out Axis heavy armor from a distance. Because of the cramped, open-topped fighting compartment, and the inherent difficulty of driving it anywhere, the Archer was primarily a defensive vehicle. However, it still managed to get its knocks in before the end of the War and British troops used it into the early 1950s. Kit features open top compartment with gun details, shell rack, and more plus commander, loader, and gunner figures, and two marking options.35356 TAMS4356 Length: 7.5 in (191mm)

Tamiya America 1/35 German Soldiers At Rest Rest and relaxationBelieve it or not, Blitzkrieg is really, really hard work. Pushing thousands of men beyond their physical limits day after day. Telling men on foot to keep up with men in tanks takes a toll. Even the most hard-driving, goose-stepping Nazi commander had to let his men stop to rest if he wanted to have a fighting force left to do the fighting. This set shows Wehrmacht troopers as you donít see them in the movies–fully attired in their M36 field uniforms, and equipped with helmets, bayonets, and cartridge cases, but at rest. Eating, drinking, cutting bread, and sitting down to rest. Kit features four full body figures.

Tamiya 1/48 M1A2 AbramsA heck of a tankThe M1A2 has a 120mm gun and when it points at you, it’s too late to run. Unless you can outrun depleted-uranium-tipped-armor-piercing-fin-stabilized-discarding-sabot, believe me you shouldn’t make it a habit. Its turbine engine produces 1,500 horsepower and drives the beast at 42 miles per hour. Plus, it’s got depleted Uranium reinforced armor protection that’s roughly 600mm thick in cross section. Add in three machine guns and you’ll have so much fun, the only question to ask is “where can I get one?” Kit features fully detailed model with driver figure.

Tamiya 1/16 German Kübelwagen Type 82 Africa Corps w/Feldmarschall RommelSpeeding over the sands

The sporty Honda MB50z immediately became popular for its sporty design. Its 49cc air-cooled, 2-stroke, single-cylinder engine produced 7hp and was equipped with a bell-shaped combustion chamber to ensure stable combustion through all speeds. The bike featured a unique cross line backbone frame structure as well as Honda’s distinctive Com-Star wheels. With its simple construction and sporty mechanism, the MB50z garnered a large fan base during the 1980s. The Tamiya 1/6 scale model is faithful in every way to the life size subject. Kit features distinctive Com-Star wheels, coil springs for rear suspension movement, synthetic rubber tires, vinyl tubing, steerable front fork, and two sets of decals.

Designed as a civilian vehicle, but plans were soon made for a military version. Improved model “Type 82” went into mass production in 1940 with a reliable, 4-cylinder, 23.5hp engine which provided a top speed of 80km/h. Over 50,000 produced by wars end. From the searing heat of North Africa to the blistering cold of Russian, the Kubelwagen Type 82 was used for recon and communications. Kit features semi-pneumatic rubber tires, open/closed doors and engine room cover, full 4-cylinder engine, hood up/down, with/w/o window frames, driver figure, and four marking options.

Equipped with a gearbox mated to an electric motor for realistic runs. Tough aluminum alloy chassis and metal parts for drive sprockets, idler wheels, suspension parts, and more to take on the terrain and keep rolling on! Aluminum gun barrel and separate Schürzen armor plates on the turret. Includes two marking options for Panzer Divisions in WWII. Drive the tank that conquered all it touched today! Requires two C batteries (sold separately).

The chief new feature of the Paladin variant of the M109 was its ability to fire, move, and be ready to fire again in 30 seconds. That kind of mobility reduces the effectiveness of counterbattery fire and improves the survivability of the vehicle. America used the Paladin for fire support throughout the Iraq War. Kit features155mm howitzer and complex turret, sharply detailed road wheels, paint/cementable belt type tracks, moveable gun travel lock and hull rear spade, two torso figures, tons of accessories, decals, and more.

The vehicle that earned Rommel’s trust in the searing African desert! Because of its reliability and ease of repair, and since its engine did not require coolant, the Kubelwagen was particularly effective in North Africa. Divisions in North Africa requested a vehicle suitable for the desert and a Continental balloon tire version went into production from 1942. Two types of balloon tires, a grooved and an un-grooved version were used. The Tamiya model depicts all the fine details of the Kubelwagen. Kit features open/closed doors and engine room cover, balloon tires, steerable front wheels, lots of accessories, driver figure, Rommel figure, and five marking options.
