Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000, Bundeswehr in Afghanistan (1/72)


Depicted in German - camo- scheme.

The kit was pretty easy to build without any major problems and even the release of 's PzH () has been some time ago, it still can convince with the quality of the parts.
The turret consists almost entirely of a large molded part, only the underside and back wall should be glued on.

The tank hull, however, is made up of several elements (multi-part superstructure and substructure) but could be assembled smoothly due to the good molding of the individual parts.
There were no sinkholes, extensive flash or other nasty surprises.
Points are deducted for the gun barrel, which consists of two halves and the muzzle brake is somewhat simplified, also the canvas is missing.

To improve the level of detail I used a PE set of () and copper wire for handles and some wiring.

Since I wanted to present the PzH on very stony ground, the base didn't do much work.
Acrly textured paste, various sand, small stones, self-adhesive tufts of grass and painted with Vallejo acrylic paints.
