| Yes, the Dragon version is a reissue of the Al-By kit with some additional parts to do a German rail vehicle with a bedstead antenna. It's probably easier to find than the original French boxing. The basic kit is, well, basic. The fit overall is mediocre, like most small manufacturers of the 1990's (in the same ballpark as Historic Plastic models, who did the SdKfz 231 6-rad and the Panzer Ia), You will probably need some filler around the mudguards, and the main gun can easily be mounted off-square in the turret because of the funky little separate trunion mountings, so eyeball everything carefully during assembly. Still, it is an impressive kit when complete. |
