Manufacturer: ODEX (Kit #72F02)

Contents:

- 10 Parts moulded in yellow Resin of high Quality

- Packed in a sturdy transparent box.

- No decals assemble instructions or painting information

Evaluation:

High quality of castings and details.

As any resin kit, some cleaning of the parts is needed. Some care in removing small parts from their sprues is also needed. In my specimen there were no air bubbles and no warping.

The lack of instructions is not dramatic, as this item is very easy to assemble, in any case it will be useful to use photos of the real thing. Of course, the interior of the cab is open to some super-detailing, depending of your will, information and skill.

Overall:

An excellent choice of subject, as this vehicle could be used almost from 1939 till 1945, in several colours and users:

• French Army 1937-1940

• Vichy Army 1940-1942 (Europe and colonies in Africa, Middle East and Far East)

• German Army 1940-1945 (mostly captured examples and later requisitioned to the civilians)

• (re)captured vehicle, in the hands of any allied army, from the Soviet till the Free French

Highly Recommended
