Excellent review, and I do with there was a model available for this interesting vehicle.

thanks for the review.

Actually Kevin, I have thought about kitting this; even getting so far as measuring one, but I think there were rumours a little while ago about a plastic kit. Anyone know any more about that?

Nice review and I too would love a kit! What an interesting vehicle.

No Libor, I mean I heard there was going to be one in Styrene, not resin

For those who can't wait for Styrene, there is a resin one from Wespe. It's not a great kit. Not at all bad, roughly 80's/early 90's level casting technology. I haven't measured it to check for accuracy, but it is basic in a number of areas.

The parts are cleanly moulded though with relatively few bubbles but some of the mould shift can be brutal, especially on the smaller cylindrical parts.

Good to see another reference for the vehicle coming out, fingers crossesd for both an Armoured and Open Top version in plastic.

LOL did I say resin....

Oddjob? Take care of this please.

A very useful review, indeed, especially as I collect up references for my Mirror Models, Ltd (LZ Models) C15TA.

Now have a copy of this book on order, and I'm hoping that it'll cover the engine details well enough to do the Mirror Models kit some justice.

I guess Libor's hints were not too much after all!

(PS: I'm also looking forward to the Otter Mk1 next month.)
