Just got two of these bad boys in the mail yesterday (25 Mar)...and all I can say is that these kits are loaded with details. Once I get around to building these cuties, I plan on a dual trailer tow job being tugged around by a yet to be determined vehicle.
Question for possibilities: any photos exist of these jewels in somewhat Opel Blitz wheels/tires being employed?? The kit uses what seems to be almost Russian style wheels...just wondering!
Takes a long time, I know, but I ordered 2 little booklets about this trailer.
First one:
D 692/41 Einheitsanhängerer 5 t - Baumuster E 5 - Gerätbeschreibung und Bedienungsanweisung - Vom 1. 6. 44
And the second one:
D 692/42 Einheitsanhängerer 5 t - Baumuster E 5 - Ersatzteilliste - Vom 15. 3 43
Just a minor attention to the tires though. But it seems the tires of the kit are a little fat, they should be thinner. Working on that too.
Kit provides a second set with rims only. I drilled a spare resin tire from Custom Scale to fit the rim and it look just the part.
Inside of the rim needs a new flange / ring. Not the most difficult part I guess.
Tire comes from the 115 t Anhänger,(resin kit), from Custom Scale. Rims were awful, flimsy and most of them were broken. Tires are ok so lucky trailer gets new tires.
Kind regards,
Robert Jan
