This is a fantastic review that you’ll want to come back to over and over. Truly inspirational armour modelling from Andy Argent. Some great techniques demonstrated like filters and of course some special weathering of the Maybach engine.

If you want to tackle a straightforward build but add the challenging, but highly effective camo scheme applied by Germany in WWII then this is the review for you. Neil’s done a great job and with less text, it’s very easy to follow.

“All in all a nice kit that could be made a lot better with a little work or some E/B (etched brass) and resin.
If you’re going to build it on its own or in a scene with other vehicles it’s worth getting it to add to your stock pile.” Neil Pepper, Reviewer – August 2011
