Canon de 47 mm PAK 183 (f)
sur Lorraine in 1/72 scale
| Name | Canon du 47 mm PAK 183 (f) sur Lorraine (Item No.816) |
| Producer | Al.By Miniatures, France |
| Packing | Clear plastic box |
| Type of kit | Resin kit |
| Quality | The all resin parts of the kit are very well cast in quality usual for Al.By kits. You can very fine details an all parts. There are no any flashes on them, you just have to cut away the residuals after filling of moulds. The used resin is relatively hard but breakable what is danger for small and thin parts. |
| Instruction sheet | Just a drawing whet to fit the gun and the adjusting wheels on it. |
| Decals | no |
| General Impression |
Concerning the quality of casts is this resin kit one of the best I have ever seen. I think I will be very easy and quick to build this kit despite of poor instructions. The result can be very nice model of rare assault gun. |
| Note | I have
unfortunately found only poor information concerning this rare
”hybrid” assault gun till now. Some of modelers from abroad send me
some information, but the result is not sufficient. One group tells this
vehicle including French components only was constructed Germans in
1941. Second group tells it was French origin construction. Both sides
tell these vehicles were used by Germans for exercises only, no info
about battle service. Any additional information concerning history and
camouflage of this strange assault gun is welcome!
I received this kit as the present from Philip Van Acker proprietor of ”Tracks & Troops” internet model shop. Thanks again Philip! |
