Producer  Extratech, Czech Republic
Packing Carton box with b/w picture on the top
Type of kit Resin kit + photo etched brass parts + clear plastic sheet
Quality

All resin parts are very well cast without any bubbles. You can find only few fine simply removable flashes on some of them. The brass sheet includes all fine etched parts necessary for detailing of cab interior as well as exterior of whole vehicle. The last part of the kit is fine clear plastic sheet with preprinted windscreen and window glasses shape. This saves much work because you do not have to take exact measures of each window, than draw it and cat ”the glass” off clear plastic sheet. You just have to cut each ”glass” off sheet and place it into due window.

Instruction sheet Czech/English historical and technical description of the vehicle and graphic instruction sheet – printed in new style.
Decals for three camouflages
General Impression I think you can simply build very nice model of rare heavy truck designed by prof. Porsche and produced for Germans in Czech factory Skoda Pilsen out of this kit.
Note This vehicle is also known under name ”Radschlepper Ost” because it was designed specially for heavy terrain of East Front. Nevertheless, thanks changed situation, all of 200 produced trucks served on West Front only in 1944-45.

We thank Extratech company lend us the kit for our preview.
