Sd.Kfz.11 with 10,5cm leFh18 in 1/72 scale The Sd.kfz. 11 is a very old Esci /now
Italeri/ model, it has some inaccuracies,
and the part are quite thick... Unfortunately BVM didn't provide any
improvement to this kit, nor resin nor photo etched which is a shame. Many
detail could have been improved. The Revell leFH18 kit is quite good...
for soft plastic. The howitzer is updated by the BVM
parts:
resin muzzle brake, resin wheels, resin and photo etched rear trail arm
and a resin and photo etched shield. The main problem will be to glue soft
plastic with resin and photo
etched.But the improvement is quite good, the resin part are very
well cast, and the photo etched add some realistic details to the soft
plastic kit. Some figures and accessories from the Revell are included,
and fit perfectly on the Sd.kfz.-11.

inexpensive upgrades for existing kits, for instance this kit
cost 15,5 EURO.
