 relatively unknown subject, making it an interesting one. Made with injection moulded plastic (My specialty) with “Link ‘n’ Length” tracks. It includes a decal sheet with two thin national crosses, two divisional markings, and a custom license plate template, a real treat to people who build up a spares box collection. It also includes a nickname, “Thor”. A real nice feature is that it features a full interior with separately moulded hatches, as well as the fuel tank, full suspension and transmission, but no engine. The werfer is mounted on a revolving turret and includes 10 shells, but no stenciling is provided for the shells. The front wheels steer, a good idea for diorama modelers who hate straight wheels. On to construction. Every thing went together well, but I accidentally snapped off both front wheels while trying to steer them. I built the tracks completely, then quickly painted them with fast drying enamels (Testors Rust drybrushed with Steel) And applied them to the painted running gear. The base coat was Testors Matt Desert Tan with Humbrol Matt Leather And No.30 Matt Green mottling. The interior was painted Humbrol Matt White and the floor plates were painted Humbrol Tank Grey. The entire interior was drybrushed with Testors Steel. Weathering consisted of a light drybrushing of Humbrol Matt White to make a “ Factory-Fresh” machine. Overall, a good kit, but I would recommend it to more experienced modelers. |
