German staff car Steyr 1500 A/01 a Steyr 1500 A
in 1/72 scale
All plastic parts are relatively well done
and useful but except the tube guard of the
radiator. This part is unfortunately practically
completely covered with plastic and you will
have to scratchbuild a new one. The worst parts
of the kit are the wheels. In contrast with
other parts are very rough /specially disks/. On
the other hand the positive are brass etched
parts of cowling grilles and dashboard as well
as clear plastic sheet with preprinted shape of
windshield. Both kits are practically identical.
Only body sides are different because of spare
wheel mounting. The addition of version ”A”
is tarp roof part. We thank MAC Distribution company which gave us both kits for our
preview.

General Impression
& Note
I think you can build nice model of known
German WW2 off-road car produced in many variants. Therefore new kits in
this line are probably expected in future. You can simply find lot of
reference materials for this type but I recommend you special publication
by WWP where you can find lot of details. Unfortunately I haven’t seen
any reference photo of vehicle form Norh Africa till now. So if you can
help me concerning this matter it is welcome.
