Sd.Kfz.9 Famo in 1/72 scale
The parts are moulded in a perfect quality, clean, free of
any flesh. Tracks are classical - lengths and links. I can se advantages
in a complete engine, which enables a construction with an open hood and
the bars for towing of damaged vehicles. Both, the chassis and the driver’s
hood are manufactured nicely. The cargo bed is not bad at all, however, it
would require some additional work on the bottom side of the bed and new
hoops for the tarpaulin.

Instructions are clear and easy to understand.
Decals
Decals are performed with the “Revell accuracy” again,
printed perfectly in register. Two versions are possible to be built: one
of the 11th Panzerdivision with a small figure of a ghost
(often used as an unofficial symbol of the division) and one of the
Sturmgeschutz Battery 901. There is a windmill as a unit symbol, which can
easily be misinterpreted with the 9th SS Panzerdivision after
the battle by Arnhem.
