Panzer Aces No.28

The "star" of this review is a vehicle on the Kalinin front scenario during the winter of 1942-1943. The book: "The Soviet armor camouflage and insignia 1930-1945 (see bibliography) contains a picture of the vehicle, and you can see the additional fuel reservoirs that we'll have to build out of tin sheet or steal from another mode: kit. On the other hand, the brand (Trumpeter) offers the decoration option that we need for this particular vehicle. The decal sheet already includes the numerals that should be affixed to the turret.  As we stated on issue 23 of this magazine on another review on the KV-1 (the 1941 version), the Trumpeter kit is really we made, and has an unbeatable price/quality relation. When we compare the KV's this manufacturer makes with the old Tamiya kits on the same vehicles, we can truly admire their greatness. The trumpeter kits when assembled right out of the box are already outstanding.
