Simple
graphic instruction sheet including camouflage schema of Czechoslovak
Army vehicles.
Decals
Not, but
kit includes license plates printed on paper /just cut out and place on
the model – more realistic than decals/ and stencil for vehicle number
and Czechoslovak flag.

Perfect kit, but it will need more careful work
to
complete it right. Especially lights can
simply get squinting if you don’t care enough! J
Note
This technically rare armored car called also
”turtle” was produced in limited series only. Despite of this fact some
vehicles were exported to Austria in 1927 where served in Vienna police units.
Even one of them actively fought against Russians during city defense in 1945.
Czechoslovak army used these vehicles until 1927 when they were passed on police
units. There served in border patrols until German occupation.
