1:32 scale is a traditional scale for models and miniatures, in which one unit (such as an inch or a centimeter) on the model represents 32 units on the actual object. It is also known as "three-eighths scale", since 3 ⁄ 8 inch represents a foot. A 6 ft (183 cm) tall person is modeled as 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (57 mm) tall in 1:32 scale.
Number built. 93. The Petlyakov Pe-8 ( Russian: Петляков Пе-8) was a Soviet heavy bomber designed before World War II, and the only four-engine bomber the USSR built during the war. Produced in limited numbers, it was used to bomb Berlin in August 1941. It was also used for so-called "morale raids" designed to raise the spirit of the ...
The BL 8-inch howitzer Mark I through to Mark V (1 to 5) [note 1] were a British improvisation developed early in the First World War to provide heavy artillery. It used shortened and bored-out barrels from various redundant naval 6-inch guns. It bore no relation to the later 8-inch howitzer of the First World War, the Vickers 8-inch Mark VI to ...

30° (initially), post-war 40°. Muzzle velocity. 2,840 ft/s (870 m/s) Effective firing range. 12.5 mi (20.1 km) (minimum) Maximum firing range. 20.24 mi (32.57 km) The 8-inch gun M1 was a 203 mm towed heavy gun developed in the United States. At 32,584 m (35,635 yd), it had the longest range of any US Army field artillery weapon in World War II.
Petlyakov Pe-3. The Petlyakov Pe-3 was the long-range heavy fighter version of the successful Petlyakov Pe-2 high-speed dive bomber used by the Soviet Union during World War II . Its design and use followed a comparable path to those taken by the German Luftwaffe with the Junkers Ju 88 and the British Royal Air Force with the De Havilland Mosquito.
The Germans gave captured guns the designation 11.4 cm K 365(e). The US 4.5 inch gun M1 used the same shell design, Mk 1D in UK service with a 6/10 crh. This design was noted for its small amount of HE (3.9 lb (1.8 kg) in a 55 lb (25 kg) shell) but the larger fragments that resulted were suited to its counter-battery role.
The major diameter still extends to within 1 / 8 H of the theoretical sharp V, but the total depth of the thread is reduced 4% from 5 / 8 H = 5 / 8 cos(30°) P ≈ 0.541P to 0.52P. [2] : 1858–1859 This increases the amount of the theoretical sharp V which is cut off at the minor diameter by 10% from 0.25 H to 7 / 8 − 0.52 / cos 30° ≈ 0. ...
