Russian Fort Flank Tower Conversion

Recensione del Modello ZVEZDA in Scala 1:72

This corner tower from ZVEZDA’s Russian Fort has been converted to a flank tower. A new door was cut to allow lateral movement along the wall walk. The unwanted door on the ground floor has been filled con palisade sections e the door above it is hidden behind a small observation torretta built from balsa strips. The palisade on either side of the flank tower is scratch-built from 5 mm dowel sticks. The sticks were cut to 70 mm length e sharpened con a scalpel. This palisade is compatibile con the palisade sections included in the kit, although it looks a little more realistic than the plastic part. The flank tower ed adjoining palisade are mounted on a 25 x 25 cm terrain module which connects con similar modules carrying corner e gatehouse sections of the Russian Fort.
