Producer Attack Hobby Kits, Czech Republic

Packing Cover is from soft cardboard with action drawing on foreside.

Type of kit Plastic model

Quality Mouldings from dark green and black polystyrene are lay-out into 7 frames. Most of parts are common with previous ATTACK kits, based on Pz Kfw 38(t) tank – above all undercarriage and lower hull part. New is upper hull part and tower with armament. Parts are molded relatively in good quality, with corresponding details. Component of model is also miniature plate with one photo-etched part – wire netting cover of tower. Unfortunately producer didn’t made antennas, when one of them, with star upper part would be as photo-etched part surely welcome easement for modeller. Tracks are from hard plastic. Model also contains a big quantity of accesories (boxes, pioneer tools, e.t.c.), moulded separately. Accuracy model is very good.

Instruction sheet Instruction is very well processed, detailed and well-arranged. Except construction progress it contains drawnings of 2 vehicles‘ cammouflage, winter from Poland 1944 and standard 3-tone cammo from Belgium 1944. Producer also inclosed a little paper with drawning of necessary shortening hull’s sides (1 mm).

Decals Miniature decalcomania sheet offers only “balkenkreuzen” for both versions, no other marking, what would be probably in accord with reality.

General Impression & Note Quality and attractive model of vehicle, that though lost competition for standard reconnaissance Wehrmacht vehicle with Pz Kfw 2 Ausf. L “Luchs”, but in operational employment show its higher value. I can recommend it.
