One of the biggest mistakes of the Trumpeter box art is that they always show their models on it, therefore, the content doesn´t quite match what is shown.

The kit doesn´t contain many parts and is assembled quickly and without problems and build it mostly out of box.
The fitting of the parts is quite okay and all details are sharp molded.
I drilled up some holes any added a few smaller details which are missing.
I've
I added a add on armor and some weld seams and removed the molded on side kirts.
The additional armor is made of plastic sheet.

The figures (6270) are great, one of the best in plastic injection molding.

I built the base myself.
The fence and wall come from the spare parts box and the cobblestone is also a leftover from Miniart.
I made the rubble out of hard foam, lumps of plaster, coarse sand and small pieces of wood.

  1. To me your build looks way better than the boxart, Simon @s-nagorsnik
    Excellent detailing and paintwork.

  2. Luft 46 is a well known term for builders of German aircraft if the war had kept rolling on after the actual victory day in Europe. What is the term for building the armoured vehicles that were planned but never put in action?

    Very nice build, love the colours!
