| Type of kit | Hard ceramic and resin parts with polystyrene vacuformed base (imitating earth protection) |
| Quality | Ceramic parts of good quality (but in each model you can find some differences). You may have troubles with bubbles in embrasures. Resin parts with no bubbles and on medium level (I recommend use the original photos to correct some details of armor doors). |

| General Impression & Note |
It’s a 5th MDS model. Bigger and
more complicated. It is not a model for beginners. Ceramic parts could be
difficult in dressing and painting (air brushing is the best method). Although
you can build interesting model with interior (all walls have correct thickness,
you have also interior door - the same like in Heinrich), but you need more
items than in 72001.
You can use excellent book “Wyposażenie socjalne obiektów fortyfikacji niemieckiej 1933 - 1944 ” by A. Kedryna, R. Jurga (“Social equipment of German fortification.”) as the reference. |
