I bought 2 of the BoldDivision kits of this trailer...with real wood for the sides (exceptional detail by the way). Its not mentioned here for Das Werk, so, will this one include real wood as well?
As far the L900 goes...the first kitted version (with trailer) had errors? Makes me wonder if those Das Werk resin wheel/tire combos I bought was always meant to corrects the dimension issues now spoken about.

Bold Division Resin Kit. What you can make of it...
A work in progress.
Hope DAS WERK used the same little booklets Bold Division used to get things a little detailed.
Still not finished with the subjects, I still have an extra in the stash to convert to Water trailer.
Kind regards,

According to the pictures from Nuremberg Toy Fair they do. But my guess it will be a special version.

Very nice looking kit, with a lot of diorama possibilities. Is this a future release or is it available now?

The trailer is very nice but I'm chiefly interested in the Faun as both a transport vehicle and the basis for possible conversions. I chuckled when I read the message written on the driver's door: "Erika is on vacation" would be the translation. The inclusion of the brass tubes and the jig to bend them for the canvas top is a really nice touch. Going to have to keep my eyes open for this one.

Absolutely love it. The perfect background element for my dioramas. These were everywhere carrying supplies from the nearest rail station and depot. This would pair really well with the Skoda RSO Radschlepper! In dunkelgelb aus DG ‘44 II with airbrushed squiggle stripes of RAL 6011 Resendagrün and lots of foliage and leaves.

Hello,
What I have seen and read on the website is really looking promising.
All details which can be found on the 5 ton Anhänger in the corresponding manuals are translated into the kit perfectly. So, when compared with the resin kit of Bolddivision which already is excellent, the plastic kit will be fantastic. Only one example:
The front section in order to combine the trailer with the truck is very simple on the resin kit but features all relevant details on the plastic kit. The same holds true for the mainenance tools which are completely missing in the resin kit.
With regard to the hardtop Faun I have understood that not only a different cab is included, but also corrected wheels. By that eresin wheels will no more be necessary.

The IPMS Website shows a picture of the Faun Hardtop model. There are new parts in creamy sand color which are cab and wheels. But there will also a new muffler and a towing device..

Ah, that is good to hear - I thought they'd dropped the project.
