German Horch Radio Truck Kfz 17 in 1/76 scale

 

Name German Horch Radio Truck Kfz 17 (Item No. G02)
Producer  Milicast, U.K.
Packing Clear plastic box with the carton label
Type of kit Resin castings
Quality

All resin parts are well cast without bubbles but with little more flash to remove. This kit is very simple, includes 9 parts only. This kit seems to me be designed in ”wargames” style because there is no interior, no detail chassis, just one big part for complete body, wheels and two antennae. Very fine details (mirrors, wipers atc.)have to be scratchbuild. 

Instruction sheet no
Decals no
General Impression & Note

I think it will take more work to complete this kit to get good model of known German WW2 vehicle.

This vehicles served also in North Africa where were used by one of the most known units of DAK – Kpt. Seebohm’s radio-monitoring company which was destroyed by Australians by Tel –al-Aisa in 1942. Some info and reference photos concerning this happening can be found in the book ”Secret War in Africa”.

I received this kit from Italian colleague Lorenzo Tonioli as the result our kit swap.
