General Impression & Note |
These armoured cars
are my first complete white metal kits and I have to point out that I’m surprised by
their good quality. I think you can simply build out of thse kits very interesting models
of both versions of German light armored car used in early period of WW2. The matter of interest is that almost all these cars were nicknamed /Adler, Marder, Luchs …./ The Kfz. 13 kit is the result of the kit swap with Gordon of SMA/SSP and the company MMS directly delivered me the Kfz. 14 kit. |
