Romanian Tank Hunter Maresal M-05 in 1/72 scale
Name | Vanatorul de care Maresal M-05 Romanian Tank Hunter /Item No. A7208/ |
Producer | Kora Models, Czech Republic |
Packing | Carton box with color picture on the top |
Type of kit | Resin kit + photo-etched brass parts |
Quality | All resin parts are well cast with no any bubbles and only little fine flesh on few parts. The only one problem you will have to solve during assembly of this kit is how remove sprues because some of them are really massive. The body of the vehicle is cast in two flat pieces but the commander’s hatch is moulded closed which is unfortunately typical mark of every Kora’s kit. The tracks are cast in stripes that and have to be shaped in hot water to fit on chassis. The kit includes 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 schema |
Decals | very good decal sheet with various Romanian marking |
General Impression | The first look in the box is very good. I suppose that the assembly of the kit will be quick without many complications and I’m sure that completed kit will be good model of rare Romanian prototype tank hunter. |
Note | According my info these vehicles never got in action because only prototype series was produced before Russians came and then completely fell to their hands. One of these prototypes should be shown in Kubinka I guess. |
