The BIG ROCK is the big winner, and YOU made it happen! Chosen by fans from all corners of the bashing world, against �fteen other trucks over four rounds of open voting with more than 12,000 votes cast, BIG ROCK came out on top. It’s the second time in three years that an ARRMA vehicle has won — proving once again that ARRMA has the right stuff! To �nd out more about the BIG ROCK and the entire ARRMA lineup, visit arrma-rc.com.

“IT’S A GREAT TRUCK, AND TRULY A BASHING BEAST.”You didn’t hear that from us (even though we do agree with it). That’s what the Big Squid Team had to say about the NERO BIG ROCK, and it’s easy to see why. It’s super-tough, with a composite chassis cage that can take all the mayhem you can dish out. It’s ridiculously fast, thanks to a brushless power system. And the revolutionary Diff Brain lets you switch between four driving styles — on the �y!

1/25 FORD FD-100 PICKUPFoose™ Ford!

The Foose™ Ford FD-100 has a history that spans three generations. Originally, this 1956 Ford F-100 was owned by Chip Foose’s father, Sam. At age 13, Chip Foose bought the truck from his father and drove it daily throughout high school and college. Many years later Same completely rebuilt and customized the truck using drawings done by Chip. Once Brock, Chip’s son is able to drive, the family vehicle will have a brand new owner! Kit features independent front and coil over rear suspension, dual exhaust, and solid axles for stronger construction.

85-4426 RMXS4426 Total Parts: 78 Skill Level: 4 Length: 7.3 in (184mm)

1/48 H-19 RESCUE HELICOPTERTenacious transport

H-19 helicopters were the workhorses of multiple US military branches throughout the 1950s. They also made their mark on global aviation, serving in well over a dozen countries. It served in combat, transport, and rescue service roles for the military and had a signi�cant second life in civilian aviation, as well. H-19s can carry up to eight stretchers when used as rescue transports. Their range of 470 miles made them perfect for picking up injured or downed pilots during the Korean War. Kit features display stand, two seated crew and two rescue �gures, plus separate engine doors and engine detail.

1/16 SWISS GUARDA history of halberds

For over �ve hundred years, the Swiss Guard has defended the Vatican and the Pope. Their service has outlived wars, reformations, intrigues, assassinations, and even the virtual extermination of the entire guard. Today, the unit is composed of Swiss citizens who have completed basic training with the Swiss Army and have ful�lled the strict requirements of the Papal Guard. The halberds and uniforms are for show. The fully stocked modern armory and unarmed combat training of the individual guards is very functional. Kit features detailed dress uniform, display stand, highly detailed facial features, halberd, and Beretta

02801 RVLS2801 Total Parts: 48 Skill Level: 3 Height: 4.4 in (112mm)

1/16 REPUBLICAN GUARDAlways imitated, never outdone

Sixteen countries have or historically have had a “Republican Guard”, but France �elds the �rst and �nest Republican Guard of them all. This nearly 3,000 member team provides ceremonial displays as well as more mundane tasks like counter-sniper teams, SWAT teams, an entire regiment of cavalry, plus bands, and a motorcycle display team. If you crossed the Cirque Du Soleil with the US Navy SEALs, you’d get the French Republican Guard. Kit features display stand, highly detailed facial features, sword, and authentic decal set.

02803 RVLS2803 Total Parts: 31 Skill Level: 3 Height: 5 in (127mm)

1/35 GERMAN STAFF CAR TYPE 82 KUBELWAGENKubels for der Kampf.

The German Kübelwagen was the surprisingly capable staff car of choice for the Wehrmacht throughout much of WWII. Despite being only a two-wheel drive vehicle, it ably crossed terrain even its designers didn’t believe was possible. The air-cooled �at 4-cylinder engine took the Type 82 and the soldiers that drove it from downtown Paris to the doorstep of Moscow.

03253 RVLS3253 Total Parts: 75 Skill Level: 4 Length:4.2 in (107mm)

1/72 LEOPARD 1A5/BRIDGELAYER BIBERYour literal bridge over troubled waters

Rivers don’t care about wars. They don’t care if the bridge has been knocked down by bombs. They’re just rivers. Cross them the wrong way and they’ll sweep you off the �eld. Bridge laying apparatus like the Biber, based on a modi�ed Leopard chassis, restore mobility to armies when civilian infrastructure is damaged or non-existent. The German army uses them in concert with the Leopard 1A5--a superior mainline battle tank--to ensure the tanks can stay mobile. Kit combo features rotating turret, injection molded tracks with individual links and authentic decal sets.

03307 RVLS3307 Total Parts: 337 Skill Level: 4 Length: Biber: 6.2 in (158mm) 1A5: 5.2 in (132mm)

1/32 SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE MK.IXCStunning strafer

Spit�re �ghters helped to break German air supremacy one dog�ght at a time. By late in 1944, however, they were beginning to run out of German aircraft to �ght. Many were pressed into a ground attack role. There, they helped wreck German supply lines and hit strategic targets. Kit features detailed Mk.IXc wings with guns, detailed cockpit and instrument panel, detailed radiator, rotating 4-blade propeller, optional bomb load, detailed undercarriage, and decals for a Royal Canadian Air Force and a Royal Air Force version.

03927 RVLS3927 Total Parts: 154 Skill Level: 5 Length: 11.8 in (300mm) Wingspan: 13.8 in (351mm)

1/48 FOCKE WULF FW 190 D-9Denying the skies to enemy aircraft

By late 1944, the war, for Germany, was effectively over. Nevertheless, Luftwaffe units continued to �ght. German industry continued to pump out new and different types of planes. As the world hung in the balance, the D-9 variant of the Fw 190 took to the skies. It was faster, could �y higher, and was capable of carrying more bombs than the A variants. Despite all its advantages, it was much too late to turn the tide. Kit features detailed machine gun position, separate ailerons, rotating propeller, detailed cockpit and undercarriage plus decals for two versions.

It’s not going to be like last time. The wings are longer. There’s more guns and better ones. Even the engines are more powerful. Sure, the A-1 came in hard and the undercarriage crumpled like tinfoil, but this is an A-4. Sure. The ache from the pilot’s recently mended leg comes back as he watches the ground crews load extra bombs in the new external racks. A polite cough from the copilot brings him back to the pre-�ight checklist. It’ll all be �ne. Sure.

1/25 ‘58 CORVETTE ROADSTERFleet �fty-eight

Fast cars, no tops, high octane, and an open road: it just didn’t get any better in the �fties. The war was over, the good times were back, and returning GIs were more than eager for something to blow their hair back. 1958 Corvette Roadsters were the perfect mixture of power and thrill. They set a new trend in automotive design, making everything else on the road look old and outdated. Plus, they helped establish a legacy of excellence for Corvette that has carried through to today.

1/72 B-24 LIBERATOR MK.III/V COASTAL COMMANDClosing the gapIt’s a long, long way from New York to Liverpool. In WWII, that open expanse of ocean was a death trap. Nazi U-Boats prowled just beneath the surface from coast to coast, sinking vessels by the ton. RAF Coastal Command was given the nearly impossible task of regaining control over the huge “Atlantic Gap”. Some of the best aircraft for this mission were the B-24 Liberators. These bombers, with their immense range and payload, enabled Coastal Command to extend protection for convoys far out into the Atlantic.

1/48 F-4E PHANTOM IISixties standout

At its introduction, the Phantom II was a revolution in aviation design. It captured sixteen world records for �ight performance, but its practical application on the battle�eld was unquestioned as well. Leading off its list of combat features was an 18,000 lb effective weapons load – more than the four-engine B-17 of WWII. What the Phantom lacked in maneuverability, it made up for in sheer speed – breaking Mach 2 with ease. Kit features four sets of international decals.

Though it was manufactured in the US, the Staghound never saw service with the US Army. Instead, it was sent to the British, originally for use in North Africa, but, after the end of Operation Torch, in Italy. As armored cars go, it was incredibly heavily armed and armored. Its 9-44mm of armor and 37mm gun made it virtually a match for the early Panzer III prototype tanks Germany �elded in Poland. Kit features British, Belgian, Australian, Polish, and Italian decals plus photo etched parts and a metal gun barrel.

Bandai 1/48 AT-ST Star WarsEnded by Ewoks on EndorThe AT-ST is the second iconic Imperial walker of the Star Wars franchise. It’s heavily equipped with armament, but its armor is famously vulnerable to everything… including sticks and stones. It’s also vulnerable to tripping via vine rope. All in all, it really explains why Imperial forces prefer to blow up planets rather than �ghting on their surface. Nevertheless, the AT-ST �lls several key roles at critical points in the original trilogy. Kit features detalied, articulated legs, rotating head, weapon systems, pilot �gures, movable view ports, opening hatch, themed display base, laser effect parts, and full instructions.

Trumpeter 1/35 African Freedom Fighters Figure Set (6)Freedom for whom?Wars are inherently dirty, but civil wars are the dirtiest wars of all.

In the end, history is left to answer the question “was it all worth it?” Kit features six freedom �ghter �gures in various poses with 12 AK-47 assault ri�es and one RPG7.
