German WW1 tank A7V in 1/72 scale
| Name |
A7V (Rochling) Early Production /Item No.
A7205/ A7V (Krupp) Mid Production /Item No. A7206/ A7V (Krupp) Late Production /Item No. A7207/ |
| Producer | Kora Models, Czech Republic |
| Packing | Carton box with picture of completed kit on the top |
| Type of kit | Resin kit + photo-etched brass parts |
| Quality | All tree kits are designed identically. Each kit box includes well moulded and cast resin parts. You will find on them very nice details /rivets on Early version atc./ but unfortunately also little flash, resin film and sprue marks to remove. The hull of tanks has to be completed from six big flat pieces and small details. The turret is moulded as one full piece. The chassis has to be completed from few smaller parts and track stripes that has to be shaped in hot water or after warming by hair dryer. Each kit include also very nice photo-etched brass sheet with parts necessary for exterior detailing. |
| Instruction sheet | Graphic assembly instructions with Czech/English/German instructions how to work with the resin kits and camouflage schemas /Early – 4 vehicles, Mid – 4 vehicles a Late – 8 vehicles/. |
| Decals | High standard decals for vehicles according to instruction sheet. |
| General Impression | The first look in the boxes is very good. I suppose that the assembly of all these kits kits will be relatively quick without many complications and I’m sure that completed kits will be good models of all three versions of known German WW1 tank A7V used in last year of the war. |
| Note |
I’m not specialist in WW1 vehicles but
referring to info I have found about this tank I can tell you that basic
differences among these three versions is type of armor, weaponry, eye
sights and other details. Germans produced about 20 tanks of this type /6-7
of each version/ till the end of WW1.
I would like to thank company Kora Models that gave as these kits free of charge for our preview. |
