This is the
Sd.Kfz.12 workhorse in the medium artillery category and the usual tractor for an
88mm Flak 18, this is also an
Airfix workhorse in that it was one of the first
AFV kits in the
Airfix pantheon and is still going strong, although the mould has lost some definition and requires a lot of cleaning-up.
It is build straight from the box and other than number-plates is unmarked. Although smaller than the
Hasegawa 12's it looks better, theirs were a bit too 'chunky' for my taste, although I did make one of the
SPAAG's, but that was only because I bought it in
AHM packaging by mistake!
I made various parts move, such as the gunners seat on the right hand side, the draw-bar and the gun-rest, by
gluing little fillets of plastic over the part mounting rather than
gluing the part as per the instructions. I also left the shield removable.
