ACE Models has begun production of 1/72 Kfz.4 Truppenluftschutzkraftwagen - A.A. motor vehicle. This will be a new injection styrene kit complete with decals and PE fret. Check it out!

This staff car turned anti-aircraft vehicle began service after the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Our friends at Ace Model have turned out a nice looking kit from the sprue shots they have posted. Here is what Ace Model had to say about their latest offering:
” Kfz.4 Truppenluftschutzkraftwagen The light uniform all-road car - leichten gelnde Einheits Personen-Kraftwagen was manufactured by Stoewer Company and also by BMW and Hanomag since 1936. Since 1940 to 1943 Stoewer produced the simplified model Type 40 without the rear wheels steering gear. All in all there were produced about 13000 le.gl.Einheits-Pkw. Uniform cars were appeared to be too heavy, too complicated and unreliable in the real exploitation. le.gl.Einheits-Pkw cars were produced with different types of bodies in particular, Kfz.4 AA support car (2x MG-34). “

This kit appears to be an all new injection molded styrene kit complete with decals and PE Fret. The Ace Model website even has some great historical photos of the vehicle in use. The plastic trees look pretty well detailed given its small scale with diamond tread plate on the interior of the vehicle floor. Even the MG 34’s look to be well detailed, and you can imagine the size! Crazy! But check out the photos for yourself.
As always big thank you to our friends at Ace Model for the heads up on this great new release and all of their new offerings. Be sure to check out the Ace Model homepage here:
