BigGrin Hi All
I got this supply tank to do a dio with the Morser Loki ,there were two of these attached to each morter and they could carry 4 of the large shell's each to keep the mortar firing. Only 11 of these tanks were produced so were lucky that Trumpeter have produced the kit.
The box comes with some fine cover art of the tank in action and opens to a neatly packed set of parts with 15 spue's [675 pieces], Hull, Etch parts and some very nicely turned aluminium shells in heavy and medium size. The kit also has a choice of the rubber type track or the plastic single track that's glued together.
Trumpeter also provide 6 sets of etch which is lucky as I haven't found any other sets available on the after market [ this is where someone say's 'you can get this here'LOL ]. There are some wire and string plus some springs also provided
Over all a very nicely packaged comprehensive and finely moulded kit that I will look forward to building
regards
AndyCool

A very nice kit with loads of detail. I have the later version by Trumpeter. Not sure if this applies to your kit, but on mine I will have to modify the exhaust exit as its the wrong way round, being based for the tank kit not the carrier.Looking forward to seeing your progress and a nice subject for a dio!!BigGrin BigGrin BigGrin BigGrin

A superbly detailed kit Andy - that will keep you busy for a while!! BigGrin Blink

Hard to believe, but when you've finished the dio with this and your Morser 'Loki' Gerat, there is going to be well over a thousand parts that have been put together!!

Thanks for sharing a review of this kit, much appreciated!! Cool ThumpUp

Nice to see something different in the military vehicle field - looks a great kit.
