Ardelt Waffenträger in 1/72 scale
All resin parts are very well cast without any bubbles
and problematic flash. Only you have to cut out from almost
all parts are massive technological sprues and fine flash
covering some fine ones. All
parts are perfectly detailed. The hull is cast including
drivers compartment, the gun has very nice lock etc. The
tracks for suspension are cast in stripes and have to be
shaped in hot water before application on wheels. Some ammo
shells are included too. Etched sheet
includes parts for sprockets and wheels for gun aiming
and other exterior details. We have to thank to Kora Models for free preview
sample!

General Impression
I think this is nice kit and you should simply build
out of it
very nice
and detailed model of rare tank hunter developed by Germans during late period of WW2
Note
Germans produced only few of these
self-propelled 88 mm guns mounted on prolonged chassis of Czech LT38 till
the end of WW2, but some of them got in action during final battles in
Germany. One of Waffenträgers is on view in Russian tank museum Kubinka
where Mr. Koraba took some reference images before this kit was born.
