German 8 Ton 1/2 Track Sd.Kfz.

I recently built the separate AA 20mm FLAK Gun and found it to be superb in detailing. The barrels are very delicate so caution has to be used in construction. Now I am in the process of building the crew figures to adapt them to be used around the Tamiya 7.5cm AT Gun in a Winter setting along with a prime mover vehicle. The figures are straight forward as the pieces aren't complex at all and go together very well. As in the case I'm not modifying the figures at all as the poses are adaptable to a high degree of detail as though the firing position which is a Winter scene is receiving counter fire. The set of the figures was at one time sold separately and I had an opportunity to purchase two complete sets which will afford me a better diorama as some of the figures might be slightly modified and there will be extra personal gear and weapons as well. I would highly recommend the entire kit or the gun or figures.

This is a great kit. The 'walls' on the back can be placed in the up or down position and are well detailed. The figures with this kit are some of my favorite included in any Tamiya kit. The winter uniforms look just great and the poses complement the gun very well.

The detail on this kit is nice, and the quad 20MM is very good. The figures are also good. But, since this kit was built by Tamiya to be motorized back in the 1970's the tracks are rubberized with no detail on the inside. Eduard makes a great PE set for this vehicle that includes thin shields for the quad. I also bought Modelkasten tracks for it, but if you're going to put this in a diorama and put enough mud/dirt on the tracks the kit tracks will be ok.
