Is it Armour, is it Railway or both - all I know is it's big for 1/72nd.

 

Brief history of the model, it was first released by Hobby Boss in 2007, the Railway Transporter was released in 2008 (without the KARL), this version was released last year, so it's two models in one.

 

Box-Art

Instructions & Colour Call Out.

The KARL (you have the option of modelling either 040 or 041)

No flash to speak of or any ejector pins in the wrong place.

 

The Railway Transporter.

Again no errant ejector pins and just some minor flash on the wheel hubs.

 

Overall it looks to be an interesting and slightly challenging build and some alteration to the build sequence will be needed in order to ensure everything lines up.

 

TTFN

Are you going to build the transporter as a working model James?

 

So the gun fires - no ;)

An addition to St. E's comment..what gauge is the track supplied. 16.5mm or wider?

 

Not measured the track, but by Mk.I Eyeball it looks wider than P4 - it's 1/72nd scale after all.  I may well tweak the base though ;)
