German 8 Ton 1/2 Track Sd.Kfz.

This German Track complete with crew and anti aircraft guns was a pleasure to build and once I gave it a coat of winter paint it seemed to come to life and fit right in with my other vehicles. A little tricky to get the parts to match but it was worth the effort. Tamiya does a great job making the track look authentic.

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 plastic WWII half track model is incredibly detailed and realistic. It's versatility in real life allows this machine to be displayed in any environment portrayed in a diorama. For this price, I was amazed by the quality and detail of the build. The figures included add to the authenticity, and the option of having the sides up or down while being able to chose the direction the guns point allows this kit to adapt to any diorama scene it is placed. Even by itself, this halftrack looks great.
