Quoted Text

Question just what is the shield with white lines on the back mean?


The shield is a convoy marker for driving in blackout conditions. There is a light in the middle of the shield and a driver of following vehicle can see the white cross and estimate the distance from the preceding vehicle.
But note that the background of the shield should be black or dark olive green, not in lighter camouflage green.

Nice work on this kit!
One question, was there an Estonian vehicle included in the markings aswell? It has "EKV" in the end, on the number plate.

So I guess there really are Estonian markings in it!
There goes even more money.

Money well spent the only thing is the tires are really soft and gummy.
