Here''s a great looking kit from Trakz that just might tax your skills a little!

Trakz: German Staff Car



If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Well, I know a senile old man that would give it a try...... if you would like to send it....... :-) :-)

But it does look like the "Staff Car"" they used on "Hogans Heroes"......cool in Luftwaffe grey, if it was painted like that... bit steep though...

It doesent look like any of the real german limos of the period, none of the Mercedes' or Horchs. I understand they did it like that not to pay royalties For the price it is sold I would expect it should look like some specific car model, not just generic 'german staff limo'.

I fetched it today at the excibition, and I quite like its looks Flash is not too heavy, and the pour stubs does not look too complex to remove. I need to check the accuracy, if it matches a real car type, but i assume I'd start this one soon. The quality is much better then Wespe's Phaenomen Granit Sankra or Baluard BR 75 Loco which I dealt recently.

I just checked the references, and found a match
It is Mercedes 770K, an example of which is present in german Sinsheim museum, which I will be visiting in 2 weeks.

No it's not, the resemblance is only remote. Proportions of the "staff car" , it's hood and grille are totaly off compared to the actual 770K.
