lol, Im the opposite..looks great except for the DS tracks

Bob ,, It would seem that the Kugelblitz did see battle ,,One Kugelblitz was also involved in the fights near the town of Spichra, where it was destroyed and remained buried in the Spatenberg hill until its excavation in 1999. I also got some pics of the remains of this vehicle and now all i gotta do is find them . Phill ======================================================= Hi Phill, I guess I should have clarified that some of the prototypes (or test vehicles) got involved in the fight, but they hadn't gone into full production yet. Thanks for bringing it up though. Bob

You're rather new here so don't be so objectionable to everyone's replies. =================================================== Jeff, I didn't realize that putting in a little history factoid for the benefit of those who don't know about the weapons, and wondering why you felt the need to get rid of one type of tank to buy a different one was objectional. Bob

Yeah, I guess not everyone is a fan of those but I'd like to try them at least once but I bet they need to be for the right application, according to any track sag and such. Maybe a 'live track' on an Allied tank. ~ Jeff

Looking forward to this. I'll have to take the kit, my calculator and my measuring tape next door to the Borden Museum and see how things stack up. God I love having good reference close by.

lol, rub it in sean.

DML need to start numbering their kits, this is the their Wirbelwind now?

I'm an angry guy now, Zimmerit AND DS tracks? I've got the Wirbelwind smart kit, and this one here looks like a lot better of a build. Oh well. I got mine for $15 at my lhs. Can't beat that I guess -Conor

OK... This Wirbelwind with zimm... I'm feeling sorta uncertain at this moment! Dragon CAN'T be trying to say that this is a IV-G hull from a tank with original "factory" zimmerit - G ended production before zimmerit became a factory application by order. Yet it looks pretty "factory-like"! And yet I have never seen any convincing evidence that OstBau Werke - Sagan - the folks who took damaged Pz IV hulls and rebuilt them into Wirbelwinds from mid-May thru Nov 1944 - ever actually did any "factory" zimming during their rebuild process! And of course, all factory and refurbishment-establishment (such as Nibelungenwerke) zimming came to a halt in SEP 1944, in any case, so any conversions done after SEP 1944 using a hull without zimm would certainly become a Wirbel w/o zimm... Well... looks cool, anyway! (but I am not a fan of DS tracks... prefer Magic track, but that's me). Even if I'm not sure as to the exact chain of events for how a G became a "factory" (looking) zimm'd Wirbel! I do rest assured that someone will rise up and set me straight on this! All 3 of D's Wirbel kits are pretty nice looking indeed. I have the non-zimm G kit - which "plans" on becoming a non-zimm G Wirbel Bob
