Military reviews
PORSCHE'S TRUNK
While Zvezda’s initial Zvezda’s 1/35 Sd.Kfz.184 Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer) featured the Ferdinand, its second release depicts the later ‘Elefant’.
EXQUISITE DISH
Hauler has re-boxed Extratech’s superb resin/photo-etched (PE) brass 1/72 German FuSE-65 Würzburg-Riese radar system.
LIGHT AND AGILE
This Airfix re-boxing of Academy’s 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.35(t) includes markings options for Wehrmacht-and Slovak-operated versions of the Czechoslovakian LT vz. 35 tank
SNAPPY JEEPS
Although designed for wargaming, this twin pack of Italeri’s ‘fast assembly’ 1/72 Willys Jeeps is an ideal beginner’s project as the vehicles can be constructed without glue, plus the green styrene means painting could also be forgone if desired.
TRACK AND TRUCK
Diorama modellers will appreciate this MiniArt release as it combines parts for a 1/35 European open-topped railway wagon and length of track with an assortment of metal drums and five Wehrmacht figures, posed as if loading the railcar.
FIERY REPTILE
Airfix’s 1/76 Churchill Crocodile is the sole small-scale offering depicting this 1943 flame-throwing variant of the Mk.VII tank.
