Packing
Model is
selling in small box from solid pasteboard, perfectly protecting
content. On upside of the box there is glued-on black and white
etiquette with title of model, emblem of producer, side view of an
automobile and other inevitable data. On inside lid of box there is (in
form of a stamp) address of producer (to me up to now unknown).
Type
of kit
Resin kit
Quality
Model is
cast from white resin, in my opinion somewhat hardly and petite than
classic yellow one. It's compound of small number of basic parts (but
regarding to a simplicity of real car is this number of parts
sufficient). Except resins there is in content of the model also
steering wheel from white metal and small folio of transparent plastic
for glazing of windows. Model represents its pattern very pretty, at
least what matters of shape resemblance . Interior in crew compartment
is figured with only fundamental parts (steering wheel, seat), in
superstructure isn't figured at all and it depends on modeller how he'll
decide to make it. Surface quality of cast stock is very good, details
are figured trustworthy and fine. Window openings and some smaller parts
they are cast-in by fine resin membrane, but it can be very easy
removed. The only thinks that I've taked exceptions to is figuration of
canvas on roof superstructure and doors of a crew compartment. Its
design is untrustworthy and looks as if author of matrices create it
additionally "in hands" by graver.
Instruction
sheet
Instruction
is an small sheet of paper, whereon they are very brief fundamentals of
work with resin, assembly procedure on one (!) picture (it's though
sufficient even for less experienced modeller) and camouflage scheme,
including corresponding Humbrol colors. Camouflage is indicated not only
for older version in Panzer Grau, but also for multicolor camouflage
from spring of 1943.
Decals

Identification mark of Wehrmacht, not even marking of unit there're not
on sheet and modeller will be obliged to get these from personal
sources.
