Sd.Kfz.253

Name	Sd Kfz 253 Leichte Gepanzerte Beobachtungs Kraftwagen (Item No. T –7270)
Producer	TP Model, Czech Republic
Packing	Carton box with color picture on the top
Type of kit	Resin castings
Quality	All parts are relatively well cast with no bubbles. Unfortunately you will find same flash on bigger parts and almost of smaller parts are covered with resin film. The vehicle body is cast as one full part. Main hatch can be open and figure /copy of ESCI figure/ included in the kit can be placed in. The tracks are cast in strips have to be shaped with help of hot water before placing on the chassis. The kit includes also nice accessories /tarps and carpet/ added according to reference photos of real vehicles. All parts are moulded relatively in details but some of fine parts aren’t good enough for precise modelers who maybe rather prefer to scratchbuild them.
Instruction sheet	Czech/English instructions how to work with the resin kits, drawing of the vehicle and graphic assembly instruction how to work with resin tracks.
Decals	no
General Impression	The first look in the box is so and so, probably because of lot of resin film covering most of parts. Nevertheless I think that you can relatively simply and quickly build nice model of German observation vehicle designed for heavy artillery units.
Note	I would like to thank company TP Model that gave as this kit free of charge for our preview.
