This review examines and builds Armor35’s Water Crane USSR (water column). The model consists of resin, acrylic, photo-etch and lens components.

Anyone know how applicable this design would be to general use throughout Eastern or Western Europe?

Michael,

There were zillions of designs and variants. A quick spin through the 'net revealed designs closely resembling this one in France, Germany, Italy and Czechoslovakia. Some have the signal atop, some don't.
