This Russian manufacturer has a growing range. |
I have no idea why I bought this kit, because I don't recall having any need of one in my FOW army lists. I guess I must have just bought it on a whim. So last night instead of painting I just sat down and put this together while watching some TV (a bit of hobby related zoning-out!). The finished vehicle probably won't even get painted but it was a 'therapeutic' exercise and pretty easy to assemble. Anyway here are a few pictures of this excellent little kit.

Everything came on one Spru and was easily removed with a pair of clippers. |

The instructions are duel language and very clear and easy to understand. |

The Cab comes in four parts that clip into an internal 'armature'. For a suposedly cheap kit the quality of the joins are excellent. |

The finished Truck is pretty good, and all for just a couple of pounds. |
I love Zvezda 1/100s, cheap and useful, although the figures of the same range do not worth the price (4-5 figs = 1 vehicle whereas 3 vehicles for 1 full box= 40+ figs? no way)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have seen the contents of one of these kits. To be honest they look better than I thought they would. Thank you for demonstrating that.
ReplyDeleteThe guys at Model Dads have some more eye candy http://www.modeldads.co.uk/Life-at-the-Front/wordpress/?p=3594
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Dave.
Zvezda are just the dogs nadgers in terms of quality of model and price in 15mm - their Hanomags are very nice, and I just love the Pz II/Pz 38T
ReplyDeleteI always wondered what "Hanomag" meant and today I stumbled over the answer. Turns out that Hanomag was the name of the company that designed and manufactured these halftracks.
DeleteI remember seeing you with it, I think it was a Cavalier purchase.
ReplyDeleteCan't be bad for a few quid Lee!!
ReplyDeleteThe Zvezda vehicle kits are at 1:100 and perfect for Flames of War and other 15 mm WWII gaming. I've been impressed with the simplicity and high relative value of these models.
ReplyDeleteI've reviewed the Stuka, T-34 and Sd Kfz 251 to date, which can be found on the Zvezda models page of my site. I like all three. Four more kits are waiting in the wings.
One thing to remember though: the guns and infantry are 1/72 scale, not 1:100. So they're not fully compatible.
Not a bad little kit.I am needing to get around ten of them for MY Flames of war GErmans.I just hoping that the AA Vehicles will be released soon.Also they have a few more BRit and a KV-2 to be releades here in 2013.
