Urgent dispatch!

Hi!

Here's the MasterBox diorama I've just build (very nice kit indeed!)

Sorry for the poor pictures, I took them using my cellphone :)

Excellent dapple on the horse--which can be quite the chore to do well.

Very nice work on everything, the figures, staff car, the groundwork, just nice work all around!

Thank you for your comments! I'm glad you like it :)

This kit is very nice, the poses of the figures are great, there's very little flash and the fitting is very good, so most of the credit should go to Masterbox :)

Of course, nothing is perfect, the kit has some small issues:

1. The tyres are made of vinyl and mine came with very ugly rims that were very difficult to remove.

2. There are possible 4 variants for the Mercedes specified, but the instructions don't specify which decals should be used (worse, it doesn't even say where they should be placed)

3. In the instructions it specifies incorrectly that some poles included in the kit should be placed on the side of the car, these poles were only used in the telephone variant (Kfz 2/1) and not for the radio version of the vehicle (Kfz 2/2).

Anyway, it's a great kit, I had great fun and recommend it.

That's a really nice dio, great builds and a nice scene. I would love to be able to do a horse but have no idea how, yours looks really nice.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Excellent work all around, but it's the figures and the horse that really make this stand out for me.  Especially the detail painting of the horse.  Really nice.
