Panzer Aces No.39

In order to include the immense 128mm Pak L76 I gun that Rheinmetall Borsig developed, the frame was widened and became more elongated including one more wheel. Both units were tested in the Russian Front in mid 1942 with some very interesting ballistics results; however shortcomings on its motorization led to the cancelling of this project in favor of the development of the Tiger I. The two "tank destroyers" were part of the 521 schwere Panzerjaeger Abteilung, one of these was destroyed in combat while the remaining "Sturer" was captured in January 1943 and is now exposed in the town of Kubinka. I think that this is a good kit, I m not going to get into measurement details, but I'm going to say that the details are good and that its pieces fit together perfectly. The piece arrangement has been carefully thought out and it allows you to assemble-paint-assemble quite comfortably, which is something quite important when dealing with open vehicles.
