Bundeswehr Autocarro 1,5 t gl geschl, Daimler-Benz Unimog S 404 B

Recensione del Modello ROCO in Scala 1:87

Lkw 1,5 t gl geschl is the denominazione of the closed (shelter type) version of the Unimog 4x4 truck. The model shown here is a battalion signals vehicle con external antenna mast. Similar Unimogs were used as field ambulances, workshop e command veicoli. The shelter is not entirely correct, it should have an external heater unit in place of the shelf for the camouflage net. The mistake may be hidden by draping a cammo net over of the shelter when the vehicle is parked. The stepladders at the side e rear doors are scratchbuilt from brass wire ed inserted into the underside of the shelter floor. Rear lights ed a rear license plate holder also need to be scratchbuilt to complete this vehicle.

Contenuto

• Unimog S 404 B con shelter

Valutazione

The model has only 14 parts ed it is sold completamente assembled, ready to play. There is some flash around stowage boxes, front bumper e mud guards. Serious modellers will take the Unimog apart, remove flash e glue the parts together permanently. The cab e house type body are nicely detailed e will be fun to paint. The shelter requires a little extra detailing to make it look realistic.

Tail lights, the rear license plate holder, ed one of the stowage boxes on the right-hand-side of the vehicle are not included in the kit. These parts are easily scratchbuilt using plastic card e slices of plastic rod o expanded sprue.

Stepladders at the side e rear doors are not included, but may be scratchbuilt from brass wire.

Cab doors do not open. The canvas cab cover may be removed, but there is no kit part representing the folded cover. This part may be scratchbuilt from tissue paper. The windshield foldes down, but the hinge parts are a little out of scale. Windshield wipers e rearview mirrors are not included in the kit. ROCO offers several vehicle upgrade kits which include such small parts. Decalcomanie are not included, they need to be purchased separately.

Compatible con HO scale model railroad equipaggiamento e soldatini by Märklin, ROCO, Faller, Pola, Preiser, e Noch.
