I was at a loose end in Chester today while my lad was enjoying a 3d virtual reality experience as part of his birthday gifts (belated from last month so his school mates could come along). So, with an hour to myself, the obvious hang outs were Waterstones and Chester Model Centre. While in the model shop, I noticed they had the relatively new Zvezda Stuka zu Fuss, so thought I'd pick one up to see how it looks. I've never really thought about using rocket artillery in games, lots of punch, but long load times and wildly inaccurate.
So, having got home, I assembled it in about 10 minutes, the body taking just a couple of minutes, but the rocket launchers taking up the rest of the time - quite fiddly consisting of the rocket and two halves for each launcher. The whole lot snaps together quite robustly, with no need for glue.
Quite a good looking model once assembled, so another vehicle to add to the assembled, but unpainted, stash. Thanks for looking.
Sounds like a Stalingrad game - I've got one in 20mm but I've still not used it!!
ReplyDeleteI quite fancy a Stalingrad game. Getting the terrain right is always the challenge, not just the look but making it practical to play on.
