Skoda S-1-D

Name Škoda Š-1-D (T-32, Pz.Kpfw 32 (j) Czechoslovak Tank Hunter Export Version For Yugoslavia /Item No. A7214/

Producer Kora Models, Czech Republic

Packing carton box with color picture on the top

Type of kit resin kit + photo-etched brass parts + plastic fenders

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 as on full piece without chance to open hatches unfortunately. The fenders of original vehicle were very thin to cast of resin in small scale so the producer supply these parts of plastic /tow stripe of plastic in fact/. Nevertheless I will maybe prefer to scratchbuild them of brass sheet. The tracks are cast in stripes that have to be shaped in hot water to fit on chassis. The kit includes also small but 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 one three color camouflage schema.

Decals no

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 tank hunter Skoda from the WW2 period.

Note In fact these vehicles never served in Czechoslovak Army because wasn’t accepted. Nevertheless they were exported to Yugoslavia where few pieces served in school unit and during German invasion defended city of Belgrade. It’s said that it was unpleasant surprise for German to meet them. Some of them were maybe captured but I haven’t any info about their service in German Army.
