[About the actual vehicle]
――In World War II, the railway network that stretched across Europe as a means of transporting various equipment and supplies also played an important role.
--On the other hand, the Allied forces confronting the German army and the partisans who cooperate with it are attacking and sabotaging with the aim of disrupting the railway network.
――Germany developed and ran various armored trains to protect the railway.
――The armored train consisted of various vehicles such as a steam locomotive covered with armor and a command vehicle.
――One of the formations is an infantry vehicle.
――In addition to the machine gun inside the car, it was also equipped with an 8 cm grenade launcher.
-In addition, the gun turret was equipped in the unit, and the Schwarer Suzag (s.Sp.) Artilleriwagen was equipped with a 7.5 cm KwK37L / 24 gun turret of Panzer III N type.
――Furthermore, one car was included in the formation, which was a command car type, equipped with communication equipment in the car, and medical staff etc. were also on board.
――Each vehicle has 20mm thick armor and weighs about 18 tons.
――It was produced from 1943 to 1945, and was active in preventing sabotage of railway networks.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the armored military train operated by the German army in World War II on 1/144 scale.
――Using a new mold, we have modeled one armored steam locomotive, one gun car type, one command vehicle type, and one infantry vehicle type, and their shapes and details.
--In addition, a freight car for transporting tanks and a 38 (t) tank to be mounted on it are also included.
――In addition, the rail and the base of the embankment are also set in this kit, and you can enjoy the exhibition as a scene model after completion.
-Of course, it is 1/144 and mini scale, but each vehicle is firmly modeled in its shape and details of each part.
-The mechanical finish and power unique to a military train surrounded by armor has a sufficient presence.
――The rich set is a must-see for military fans.
