Schwimmwagen belonging to Panzer Lehr division is being repaired.
Schwimmwagen is pretty solid kit. 1990s Tamiya meaning little flash, few ejection marks and where they aren't visible and nice fit. Hard ochre plastic so parts don't break easily, I managed to break only one that is both thin and long, nothing few drops of glue couldn't fix. Some planning is required during assembly in order to paint it properly, I glued seats during assembly and had to remove them later to paint interior. I didn't glue on tools, seats, windscreen, collapsible roof, engine and propeller. All for easier painting of vehicle and these parts. Overall this is pretty solid kit and worth €10-15 that is standard asking price. Can't speak for details but it has enough bits and bobs protruding so it doesn't look to plain. Also guiding pins for smaller parts are more than welcome, a bit of care is needed so you only cut away what you have to. It is however old school kit with mesh you are supposed to cut in proper pieces by yourself inst
