The Magirus ARW history is here

This kit is a little bit pricey but if you want something original you often have to pay for it. It seems that the kit is produced in limited series, mine was  No.148. Having said that, when you open the box, you are pleasantly surprised by the quality of the resin and molding. You are also surprised by the small number of parts (37, 20 for the wheels only), so that the assembly is definitely simple. The only shortcoming (for me) are the roadwheels, the molding process gives two halves with a bad joint between them.
I made some modifications based on the rare photos .



The figure comes from Scibor miniatures range: http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=2816
I personally find them beautiful, only the head will be changed to a hornet Italian tanker one since the helmet requires little changes to resemble those of the Reichswehr.
