M3A1 Half Track

The M3A1 Half Track was main troop transport vehicle for the US Army armored infantry during World War II and the Korean War. The M3A1 half track was designed to carry an entire rifle squad and their equipment (they would often tow a trailer with equipment, fuel, water or ammunition). The M3A1 was fitted with an armored “pulpit” mount for its M2HB heavy machine gun and had three pintle mounts for additional machine guns. The M3A1 was the most advanced version of personnel carriers of the M3 Half Track family, of which more than 40,000 of all types were manufactured during World War II.

Brickmania’s 1/35 Scale USS Nicholas Featured on Beyond the Brick

I brought my newly completed 1/35 scale model of the USS Nicholas to Brickfair, Virginia in August. In spite of a savage mauling inflicted to the model during transit, the “Nick” was rebuilt and displayed, attracting a large crowd throughout the event. The guys at Beyond the Brick made this little video clip showing off some of the ship’s details.

The USS Nicholas was one of the most decorated ships in the US Navy during World War II, thus earning a place escorting the battleship USS Missouri into Tokyo Bay to accept the surrender of Japan, ending World War II. I am also planning to build the much larger battleship over the winter and display the two ships at commemorative events in 2015.

Nebelwerfer

One of our most popular WW2 minikits is back in production!  Used extensively by the German army throughout the war, the six-barrel rocket launcher was dubbed the “Screaming Mimi” by Allied troops due to the terrific noise created when the rockets were discharged.

M1 57mm anti-Tank Gun and US Infantry Soldiers Restocked

US_Anti-Tank_Squad560

Gearing up for the expected counter-attack, we’ve re-released the M1 57mm Anti-Tank Gun as a stand-alone mini kit. (NOTE: For this interested in the Tiger I kit re-release, be aware that there are less than a dozen unspoken for as of this writing).

M1 57mm AT Gun

This M1 57mm Anti-Tank gun was distributed to all US Infantry Divisions for the campaign in Europe. While not effective against the frontal armor of the heaviest German tanks, it was still an effective tank-killer when properly used, and it’s small size made for ideal ambush weapon.

US Rifleman

Brickmania has also just completed another batch of our custom US Rifleman minifigs, which we hope will be enough to last us through the holidays. These genuine LEGO minifigs that have been custom pad-printed the same way LEGO does it.

M4A3E8(76)W “Easy Eight” Sherman Kit Available Now

Sherman Easy Eight

“Easy Eight” was the nickname for the final World War II production model of the famous American Sherman Tank. It’s official designation is the M4A3E8(76)W which denotes the following features: Welded steel hull, Ford GAA V8 gasoline engine, horizontal volute spring suspension, 23-inch wide tracks, 76mm main gun in a T-23 turret, and “wet” ammunition stowage.

While never designed to battle heavy German armor, this model was far more capable than the original Sherman tanks rolled out just three years earlier. The “Easy Eight” was the only Sherman to remain in American service following World War II and it would see further action on the Korean Peninsula supporting UN forces. The “Easy Eight” was also the basis of the famous Israeli “Super Shermans” which saw action well into the 1970’s. More than 49,000 Sherman Tanks were built during World War II. Many thousands were distributed to the Allies through the Lend-Lease program.

Easy Eight Cover

We’ve saved the best Sherman tank for last!  The standard production kit includes one US Tanker minifig with the armored division sleeve print. It also has smooth rolling LEGO tracks, four opening crew hatches (inside is not detailed, but can be easily accessed for adding your own interior), custom pad-printed US star insignia tiles, and BrickArms M2HB and M1919 machine guns for secondary armament.

Easy Eight

Expanded Crew Add-On

For those who order during the first week, we’re giving you the opportunity to add up to four extra US Tanker minifigs with sleeve prints, generally reserved for new release kits and not normally available for separate purchase.

US Tankers

Taking the Time to Make it Even Better

While we aimed to have this released the same day as the movie Fury (featuring this same tank), a last minute decision to have the instruction booklet professionally printed (rather than our usual laser printed method) means shipping will be delayed until Wednesday, October 22nd. If the results are as good as we hope, we will switch all instruction printing to this method whenever possible.

We’ve brought back an essential World War II kit just in time to repeal the invading armor from the East and the West!  The Pak 40/L48 was the standard German anti-tank gun from 1942 to the end of the war. This gun was so versatile and powerful it was also fitted to Panzer IV tanks and Stug III/IV tank destroyers. Includes additional pieces needed to make the towing carriage.

M3 37mm Anti-Tank Gun

At the onset of World War II, the 37mm Anti-tank gun was the chief anti-armor weapon in the US military inventory. The M3 was mounted on a  wheeled carriage, making it small enough to be towed behind the standard 1/4 ton Jeep and easily positioned by it’s crew. While it’s effectiveness would diminish against increasingly more heavily armored German vehicles, the M3 soldiered on for the duration of the war in North Africa, Europe and the Pacific.

2056_m1_37mm_ATgun_3L

This M3 37mm Anti-Tank is an essential piece of equipment for any WW2 collection or diorama. To help build your army we have included a custom printed WW2 US Rifleman with BrickArms M1 Steel Pot Helmet and Garand Rifle. This is the perfect entry level kit for anyone new to Brickmania’s historical building kits, which are made to the highest standards and only included genuine LEGO® and BrickArms® parts.

M26 Pershing

Brickmania is proud to release the latest in our series of “Black Box” premium edition custom LEGO kits. These limited edition kit go the extra mile with spiral bound printed instructions and packaging that is a cut above the standard Brickmania kits.

M26 Pershing Box

The M26 Pershing was produced for American forces in response to heavy German tanks encountered in Western Europe towards the end of World War II.  While it barely arrived in time to see action, the M26 proved itself more than capable at standing toe-to-toe with the Tigers and Panthers, a task not suitable for the earlier M4 Sherman medium tanks. The M26 soldiered on into the Korean War, where it again proved itself deadly against the Soviet-built armor of the Communist forces. Lessons learned from the M26 directly lead to the development of the M46/M47/M48 Patton series of Main Battle Tanks

  • Weight: 46 tons (41 metric)
  • Armament: 90mm Gun M3, 1x Browning .50 cal MG, 2-3 x Browning .30 cal MG
  • Armor: 76-102mm
  • Speed: 25 mph
  • Range 100 miles
  • Years Produced:1944-45

Additional information about this Brickmania custom Lego® kit:

The M-26 Pershing kit has the following features:

  • Premium spiral-bound full-color instruction book included
  • Fully articulated triple-wide LEGO tracks
  • Two opening crew hatches on turret
  • Fully rotating turret with posable main gun
  • Custom-printed WW2 US Tanker minifig with Armored Division sleeve patch
  • M2HB and M1919 machine guns from BrickArms
