2005 marked the 50th anniversary of Yamaha’s founding and the company was determined to excel in MotoGP. The acquisition of star rider Valentino Rossi in 2004 reinvigorated Yamaha, leading to their first Rider and Team Championships since 1992, so they
set their sights on capturing the Manufacturers’ title as well. Entering its 4th year of MotoGP,
the YZR-M1 was improved for 2005 and featured a 4-stroke inline 4-cylinder 990cc engine
that offered greater top speed and fuel efficiency. The chain-driven cam shaft was changed
to a gear-driven type to limit the width increase caused by the engine’s greater bore. A
shortened and repositioned clutch as well as a centrally-mounted cam-driven gear contributed to a compact layout. “Mass concentration” improvements such as a fuel tank with
lower center of gravity and the rear shock attached to the crankcase provided optimum
balance for better handling and stability. A sleeveless head pipe prevented interference of
the air duct and radiator to enhance the air box’s efficiency while the cross member above
the swing arm pivot was removed. These changes greatly improved the frame’s balance
and shock absorbing capability. Furthermore, the refined torque control system was programmed to assist the rider unobtrusively. Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards were the
riders at the helm of this machine, with Rossi winning 11 of 17 races to dominate the
season. Edwards consistently claimed points as well, allowing Yamaha to take the triple
crown of Rider, Team, and Manufacturer Championships.

24318 1/24 Martini Porsche 935/78 (1978 Le Mans Entrant)
In 1976, the FIA introduced the Group 5 “Special Production Car” category, which featured
production cars with extensive racing modifications, in the World Championships for Makes.
The Porsche works team dominated this category, winning consecutive championships in
the 1976 and 1977 seasons. For the 1978 season, Porsche left the World Championship
for Makes to the many 935 Turbos raced by private teams and created the 935/78 Turbo
with the goal of claiming the Le Mans 24 Hours. The long, ground-hugging body of the car
had distinctive features such as a slanted front nose and an extended tail section. In
addition to a displacement increase from 2.8 to 3.2 liters, the air-cooled twin-turbo engine
featured four valves per cylinder and Porsche’s first liquid-cooled cylinder heads, enabling
it to produce a massive 850hp. The team first entered the 935/78 Turbo at the World
Championships for Makes Round 4, the 6 Hours of Silverstone, only intending to test the
car for the upcoming Le Mans 24 Hours, but drivers Jacky Ickx and Jochen Mass drove it
to an impressive debut win. At the 1978 Le Mans 24 Hours, the 935/78 Turbo, driven by
Rolf Stommelen and Manfred Schurti, qualified in a sensational 3rd place behind the Group
6 Porsche 936/78 and Renault Alpine A443 Turbo, but frequent pit stops to refuel and
other mechanical problems resulted in an 8th place finish overall. However, the combination of its monstrous speed, power which exceeded that of other Group 5 race cars, and its
unique body design earned it the nickname “Moby Dick.”
About the Model
-This is a 1/24 scale plastic assembly model kit of the Martini Porsche 935/78.
-The aerodynamic body and large rear wing which produces a strong down-force effect is
realistically reproduced.
-The cockpit has a realistic finish.

At the end of 1942, Russian forces opposed German panzer divisions with their SU-76
self-propelled gun. The 76mm gun was an effective anti-tank weapon until 1943, when its
firepower was no longer enough to counter the new German tanks.
In the latter half of 1943, replacing the SU-76 was the SU-85, which was based on the
T-34’s hull and was armed with an 85mm gun. It did not feature a turret like other tanks and
was very effective in the anti-tank role. The T-34-85 was deployed shortly after, but with
armor thickness ever increasing demand grew for a more powerful tank destroyer.
In 1944, the SU-85 was fitted with a 100mm gun and renamed the SU-100. Aside from the
gun, the two looked identical but the SU-100 was distinguished by its commander’s cupola.
Although the 100mm gun did not have the same armor-piercing power as the German
75mm or British 17 pdr guns, its shell was two times heavier than the 75mm and its
destructive power easily knocked out German tanks. Also, its simple design proved
advantageous as labor and construction costs were reduced 20%. However its turret-less
design limited the gun’s attack range and this weakness manifested itself on sloped terrain
and in narrow urban areas. Ambush tactics, including hiding among buildings and trees,were
developed accordingly and the SU-100 performed well in both anti-tank combat and as fire
support for infantry.
The SU-100 remained in Russian service until the 1970s and also served in Polish, East
German, Czechoslovakian, Romanian, Hungarian, Egyptian, and Iraqi armies.

About the Tank
The Type 3 Chi-Nu was one of the last tanks produced by the Japanese military during
WWII. The “Chi” stands for the first syllable of the Japanese word for “medium tank” while
“Nu” refers to a character used in the old-style Iroha Japanese syllabary.
The Chi-Nu was developed in May 1944. It was powered by a 240hp Type 100 V-12 diesel
engine, armed with a Type 3 75mm gun, and protected by armor up to 50mm thick, so it
was expected to counter the M4 Sherman. 200 examples were produced and were deployed to the 4th Armored Division and various independent armored brigades to defend
Japan. The Allied invasion never came, so they did not see combat against Allied tanks.

Following the successful July 2009 release of the Mtl.SPW. Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf.D (Item
32654), Tamiya is proud to release a must have for all 1/48 scale enthusiasts, the exceptional rocket launching Mtl.SPW. Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf.D “Stuka Zu Fuss.”
About the Vehicle
The German Army Weapons Agency began research into rocket technology in 1931. During
the development of the V-2 rocket, which became the basis for future strategic missiles,
the Nebelwerfer became first rocket to enter the battlefield. In 1941, production of wingless
15cm rockets began, followed by larger 28/32cm rockets. At the tail of these rockets were
many thrusters which kept them on a stable course. Compared with the 8.2cm winged M8 rockets from the Russian Katyusha, the German rockets were of a far superior design.
The first such rockets deployed to the frontlines were the NbW 41 28/32cm rockets. There
were two types of this rocket, a 28cm type which was armed with either a 50kg or 36kg
high explosive (HE) warhead and had a 750-1,925m range, and a 32cm rocket which was
armed with 45 liters of incendiary mixture and a 770-2,200m range. These rockets did not
require launchers but instead could be fired from their simple launch frames. The German
army immediately decided to load (reusable sWG 40 and disposable sWG 41) launch
frames made of metal and wood respectively, onto the Hanomag half-track and deploy

them in the Panzergenadier Regiment’s Heavy Company. The Hanomag could be equipped
with a total of five 28cm HE and one 32cm incendiary rockets with their launch frames.
These vehicles were designated Sd.Kfz.251/1 Nebelwerfer (Ausf.A-D) but on the frontlines
they were called “Stuka zu Fuss” or the “Ground Stuka” a reference to the Luftwaffe’s
Stuka dive-bomber, due to their great mobility, devastating noise, and destructive power.

32567 1/48 U.S. Modern 4x4 Utility Vehicle w/Grenade Launcher
Image shows drawing
In the late-1970s, the U.S. military decided to develop a single standard vehicle to replace
the many mission-specific types such as the M151 MUTT and M561 then in service. The
new general-purpose vehicle was to be reliable, have excellent off-road mobility, and have
the versatility to perform a variety of roles. Three companies presented proposals and
created prototypes, and after exhaustive comparative tests, the vehicle which exceeded
all performance requirements while also being the lightest was chosen as the winner.
Featuring an aluminum body on a strong steel frame, it is equipped with a 4-wheel independent suspension, full-time 4WD system, and a 150hp V8 diesel engine which enables
a top speed of 105 km/h. Depending on the body type and fitted equipment, it can also
perform a wide range of roles including cargo/troop transport, ambulance, and armament
carrier. Like the different variants, the “armament carrier” has a large rear deck area and
distinguishing metal roof and doors and could be seen armed with either a Mk.19 grenade
launcher or an M-60 machine gun. U.S. military units were issued with these vehicles from
1985, and they first saw action in Panama in 1989. Since the 1991 Gulf War, they have
supported the logistical needs of U.S. forces in all fields of operations.
About the Model
-This is a 1/48 plastic assembly kit of the U.S. Modern 4x4 Utility Vehicle.
-The model features the same highly detailed suspension as its 1/35 scale counterpart
(Item 35267).
-Solid rubber tires feature realistic tread patterns.
-Choose to produce this model armed with either the Mk.19 grenade launcher or the M-60
machine gun.
-The winch and the flare discharger can also be assembled onto the model.
-The interior, including the dashboard has been realistically reproduced.

32568 1/48 German Tank Destroyer Marder III M
Page 14 of 63
During WWII, Germany produced many open-topped tank destroyers using the chassis of
obsolete tanks. Among these was the Marder III series, which was based on the 38(t) tank
made by Czech company CKD (later BMM) and developed to counter Russian T-34 and
KV-1 tanks. Initial variants were armed with the PaK 36(r), a modified Russian 7.62cm
anti-tank gun, and served well in Russia and North Africa. The German military then ordered BMM to develop a tank destroyer based on the 38(t) tank that would be armed with
the new PaK 40/3 7.5cm gun, resulting in the Marder III Ausf.H in autumn of 1942. The
series then culminated in the Ausf.M, which differed from the earlier Ausf.H by having its
engine moved to the center (“Mitte” in German, hence the M designation) and its fighting
compartment relocated to the rear. This design not only improved ease of production and
operation, but it also allowed the lower profile fighting compartment to be surrounded by
armor plates, thereby enhancing crew protection. The PaK 40/3 could fire either armorpiercing or high-explosive shells, and 27 rounds were carried. Between May 1943 and
May 1944, a total of 942 Ausf.M were produced and they were the mainstay of tank destroyer units on all fronts. Late-production versions built from the end of 1943 featured a
welded steel driver’s hood made rather than cast metal one, as well as different side
engine intake cover and exhaust layouts.
About the Model
-This is a 1/48 scale plastic assembly kit of the German Tank Destroyer Marder III M.
-The Marder’s combat compartment has been recreated in superb detail.
-Display the model on its own or together with other 1/48 scale vehicles to create impressive dioramas.

35307 1/35 German Heavy Tank Destroyer Jagdtiger Mid Production Commander
Otto Carius
Early-1943 saw the Russian army launch counterattacks along the Eastern Front, and at
the request of German frontline units who were facing improved, mass-produced Russian
tanks such as the T-34, it was decided to develop a heavy tank destroyer. The 75-ton
vehicle, called the Jagdtiger, was based on a redesigned King Tiger chassis and used the
same engine and drivetrain as that tank. Its 12.8cm Pak 44 L/55 gun, taken from the Maus
super heavy tank, was mounted in a large superstructure with armor up to 250mm thick.
Over 80 were produced between February 1944 and the end of WWII, but those built from
November 1944 had equipment such as the jack removed, while those built from December featured six spare track link racks on each side of the superstructure. They were
issued to the 653rd and 512th Heavy Anti-Tank Battalions (s.Pz.Jg.Abt), with the latter
unit, formed in February 1945, noteworthy for its famous company commanders: Lt. Otto
Carius and Lt. Albert Ernst. Carius was a veteran s.Pz.Abt. 502 Tiger tank platoon commander as well as one of Germany’s top tank aces with 150 Russian tanks destroyed. His
unit was sent to the Ruhr region in western Germany, where he used his Jagdtiger to great
effect against the advancing Allied forces, even knocking out tanks that were hidden behind buildings. Mechanical problems and the lack of crew training limited the Jagdtigers’
effectiveness, but its unrivalled firepower and armor protection continued to threaten Allied tanks until the end of the war.

35308 1/35 British Light Utility Car 10HP
During WWII, British forces used passenger car chassis as the basis for various pick-up
style military vehicles. They were officially designated as “Car, Light Utility” and while
produced by several manufacturers, soldiers called them not by their maker and model
names, but by their affectionately given nickname – “Tilly.” With a 30hp engine and rear
wheel-drive, they did not have adequate off-road capabilities and were replaced on the
frontlines by 4WD vehicles. However, their passenger car chassis offered a smooth ride,
so they were widely used in rear areas and airbases for liaison and other duties. In addition to the Dunkirk evacuation, North African and Italian fronts, and Europe from the
Normandy invasion onwards, they were also present at many British airbases.

In the German-Soviet war which began with the German surprise attack, the Russians
were forced to fight under great difficulty and disadvantage from the start. The Germans
made fierce attacks by using “blitzkrieg” tactics which had been polished on the basis of
experience in their French campaign, and their soldiers worked with the prompt precision
of machinery. The Germans carried out pincer operations with their panzer units as the
main body and set a huge iron ring against the Russians. The collapse of their
communication system, confusion of their command chain and loss of air superiority
increased damage to the Russian forces.
There were two German weapons which gave the most indelible impression on Russian
soldiers. One of them was the JU-87 Stuka which had already proved itself to be an effective
dive bomber in the French campaign. Planes of this type saturated Russian targets while
diving steeply and skimming over the ground with a whirr that sounded like a “shriek from
hell”. The other was the Strumgeschütz III which destroyed Russian tochkas one after
another to support infantry units. The Russians were not without tanks similar in use to the
German Sturmgeschütz. They had the KV-2 heavy tank which was nicknamed “Gigant” by
German infantrymen. However, because this tank was too heavy to make quick movements
and had a high silhouette, it could not steal near enemy positions to destroy them. In
addition, their numbers were so small that they could not concentrate their powerful 152mm
gun fire sufficiently on the target.
After checking the German advance in front of Moscow, the Russians formed early in 1942
a plan for the mass production of tanks and guns for counter-offensive. Of all tanks to be
produced under the plan, about 70% were T-34 mediums and the remaining 30% consisted
of KV-I heavy tanks and light tanks. Guns to be produced consisted of “small caliber”

89797 1/35 SU-85 Russian Tank Destroyer continued
(76.2mm) guns, “medium caliber” (85-100) guns, and “large caliber” (122mm) guns. These
weapons were to be immediately sent to the battlefield in large quantities.
Judging from this plan, the Russians must have already expected in those days to mount
the 122mm, 100mm, or 85mm gun on the chassis of the T-34 tank. As they knew the
power of the German Sturmgeschütz by reports from the front, the Russians naturally
realized their own idea of assault guns.
The Soviet Union’s first assault gun to be produced was a self-propelled gun with the
122mm howitzer called “SU-122”. The “SU” (or “Cy” in Russian letters) is an abbreviation
for Russian “Samokhoknaya Ustanovka” which means “self-propelled gun”. The Russians
called such turretless tanks by the general name of self-propelled gun.
The SU-122 self-propelled gun was designed by engineer E.W.Silniszczikov with the
assistance of F.F.Pietrov, the king of Russian gun designers, who had designed the 122mm
gun. This was an excellent howitzer and called “M-30S” by the Russians. It had a range of
11,800m, muzzle velocity of 515m/sec and a rate of fire of 5 or 6 rounds/min. The SU-122
self-propelled gun was similar in shape to the German Sturmgeschütz III armed with the
short-barreled 75mm gun. With projecting bulky recoil mechanism, the SU-122 did not
look pleasing at all. The final production model however, had the forceful Russian style
with polished semi-spherical recoil mechanism and shields employed instead of the previous
ungainly ones.
The SU-122 self-propelled gun first saw action in the Battle of Kursk in the summer of
1943. SU-122s, then forming a part of Russian artillery units, took part in the recapture of
Orel to the north of Kursk and in the subsequent pursuit actions.
Meanwhile, in the kombinat of tank production plants called “Tank-grad”, near the Ural
Mountains, engineers led by L.S.Troyanov and S.N.Machonia were designing a new selfpropelled gun which was to mount a long-barreled (51.5 calibers long) 85mm gun instead
of the 122mm howitzer. The 85mm gun was an anti-tank weapon remodeled from the antiaircraft gun D-5 designed by Pietrov in 1939.
The remodeling was made by Pietrov himself and the gun was named “D-5S-85A”. It is
very interesting to note that the new self-propelled gun named “SU-85” used the same
logic as the German heavy tank Tiger VI by mounting a remodeled version of anti-aircraft
gun. That is, the German Tiger also carried a tank gun remodeled from the 88mm antiaircraft gun, the last trump card that the Germans used against Russian heavy tanks.
With 9.02kg armor-piercing rounds, the D-5S-85A had a muzzle velocity of 792m/sec and
was powerful enough to penetrate 100mm of vertical armor plate at a distance of 1,000m.
It had a field of fire of 20 degrees in azimuth and from minus 5 degrees to plus 25 degrees
in elevation. The rate of fire is said to have been 8 to 10 rounds/min. The crew consisted of
4 men. The commander was in the cupola on the front right and could see outside through

89797 1/35 SU-85 Russian Tank Destroyer continued
the rotating periscope and vision slits. The cupola was later replaced by a hatch type with
cylindrical vision holes that was seen on T-34/76 tanks in 1943 and later.
The gunner was at the left of the gun and the loader was behind the commander. The
driver was hemmed in by 85mm ammunition and sat in the forward left position as before.
Thus, the SU-85 self-propelled gun was a powerful anti-tank weapon worthy of being
called tank destroyer, of Jagdpanzer in German, rather than self-propelled gun. The Russian
masterpiece self-propelled gun SU-85 was not in time for the decisive battle near Kursk. It
first saw service in the pursuit action in December 1943 after the liberation of Kiev and
confronted the German medium tank Panther and heavy tank Tiger.
The Russians incorporated 21 vehicles of this type into a self-propelled artillery battalion
under direct control of the corps and 31 into a self-propelled artillery regiment under direct
control of the tank army, so that the commanders could use them at their will.
In mid 1944, the SU-85 gave way to the SU-100 self-propelled gun, the last model in the
SU series, which carried the 100mm gun on the T-34 chassis. After that, the SU-85 selfpropelled gun continued in service as part of tank battalions.

The Soviet Army was influenced by the German development and adoption of the ‘assault
gun.’ This type of vehicle entered German service in 1940 in time for the Western Front
campaign. By early 1940 the Soviets already had what they called an ‘artillery tank,’ the
KV-2 armed with a 152mm L/20 howitzer in a massive box-like turret with all-round traverse.
It had many limitations, however, which included a high silhouette, an inability to fire on the
move, traversing limitations of the turret if the tank was on an incline, and a dramatic
increase of weight compared with the ordinary KV-1 tank. The unsatisfactory nature of the
KV-2 became evident in the opening stages of the German invasion of Russia in June
1941, when the KV-2s were quickly overwhelmed by the German armor.
The Soviets began to re-arm to meet the German armor on more equal terms. The famous
T-34 was the most notable new vehicle and it rendered all German tanks then in service
virtually obsolete. Self-propelled guns like the German ‘assault guns’ were developed.
One of the first was the SU-76, based on the chassis of the T170 light tank. This appeared
in 1942 and was intended initially as a tank destroyer; it proved to be too small and lightly
armored and was subsequently used as an infantry support weapon. Plans were put forward
to mount a 122mm howitzer on the chassis and running gear of the T-34 to provide a
replacement for the KV-2. A prototype was built in mid 1942. Stalin was greatly impressed
and ordered immediate mass production. By January 1943 the first regiment was equipped
with the newly designated SU-122.

The new vehicle utilized an adapted M1938 122mm field gun howitzer mounted centrally
on the front end of the T-34 hull. The turret was dispensed with and replaced by a low fixed
super structure. There was very limited traverse for the heavy weapon. The new
superstructure took up all the space forward of the engine deck, and was distinguished by
a well shaped front and a massive mantlet. A cupola for the vehicle commander was
situated to the left front. The chassis used was the current 1942 T-34. A horn periscope
and a radio were command aids on the SU-122. The frontal armor was up to 100mm thick
and there was a crew of four. As the SU-122 was available for supporting infantry, it was
decided that the SU-122 would provide fire support for the tank divisions. Platoons of three
SU-122s would be attached to tank companies or battalions. There was thus some
divergence from original German ideas, for the SU-122 often became a substitute for a
tank. In February 1943 production of the SU-122 ended in favor of the JSU-152, a similar
vehicle based on the chassis of the KV or JS series tanks. It also had a 152mm gun.

In celebration of the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadrons tour of the Far East in
2009, Tamiya is proud to release this special edition 1/48 scale F-16C [Block 32/52] assembly kit model.
The Thunderbirds, established in 1953, is named after a mythological bird found in Native
American legends in the southwest region of the United States. For over half a century,
they have served as ambassadors for the U.S. Air Force, promoting international goodwill
at air shows throughout the U.S. and in over 60 countries around the world, and have
flown several different aircraft during their distinguished history. The team began their
relationship with the F-16 Fighting Falcon in 1983 by exchanging their T-38A Talon jet
trainers for the F-16A. In 1992, these were traded in for the current F-16C Block 32 aircraft, which feature improved radar, cockpit avionics, and an enlarged tail fairing for ECM
equipment. 2009 will see the Thunderbirds upgrade again to the U.S. Air Force’s latest F16, the Block 52, which is equipped with a more powerful Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229
engine. Apart from the removal of radar, the replacement of the 20mm Vulcan cannon with
a smoke generating system, and other minor changes, the Thunderbirds aircraft are identical to those flown by combat units, and can be returned to full combat ready condition in
under 72 hours if necessary. Giving over 70 performances per year in a season that lasts
from March to November, the Thunderbirds will surely continue to dazzle audiences with
their aerobatic repertoire for many years to come.
About the Model
-This is a limited edition 1/48 scale assembly model kit.
-You can choose to assemble either Block 32 or 52 models of the F-16C.
-Special markings to depict F-16C’s which performed at Misawa, Chitose, and Hamamatsu
