Yet again the fine folks at Zvezda have provided gamers with more tasty morsels in the form of a BM-13 Rocket Launcher (more commonly known as a Katyusha) a BT-5 light tank and a German SDKFZ 251 halftrack. These are up to the usual standards with rivets and lug-nuts crisply cast on all of the vehicles. At 26 pieces the BM-13 is probably pushing the limit on snap-tight models but I care little as I will be gluing mine together. The pictures will speak for themselves so I will stop now.
The BM-13:
the box-art is well done
The sprues:
at last a Katyusha model that won't end up super-glued to my fingers
lug-nuts.... ya gotta luv 'em
nicely detailed rockets and launcher bed
very well done chassis
detailed leaf-springs
and engine vents
The BT-5, this is another good early war choice as there are few models made of this tank (and most don't have tracks that look nearly as good as these do). They even did rivet detail on the bottom of the model.
neat box art, you get a sense of speed
the back of the box
front of the sprue
the back of the sprue, note that they accurately show the suspension
yes, bolts and lug-nuts
rivets on the underside, you just don't see that on most wargaming models
Engine grilles, nice
And last, the SDKFZ 251 another excellent choice, few things say "German Army WW2" like a Hanomag half-track.
well done box art
the back of the box
the front of the sprue
the back of the sprue
more lug-nuts
one -piece tracks and bogies, how nice
Once again I have to say these are excellent models and, at $4.99US, they are an excellent value.
Very Highly Recommended.
