JuWa apparently offers two 1:16 A7V kits
- Kit No.6, a buck mount, i.e. 506 or 507
- Kit No.8, called "Multi", which is a "male" socle mount, i.e. 562

While No.6 looks quite reasonable (only the usual errors), No. 8 is incorrect (562 only had a 1st lot front but was otherwise 2nd lot) because it's 1st lot all over.

Hello  Mad Zeppelin

thanks for your reply

Indeed there are 2 models available
but I am going fot the "buck mount"

I want to make a model of 506 Mephisto
(there a decals available on ebay which can be converted to 1/16 scale)

I have the Mark Whitmore  1/12,5 1/25 scale drawings which I will use to "modify" the kit to 506
but can you tell me about the "usual errors" on this  kit

506 definitely had no commander's sliding hatch and no central compass casing on the turret top. There was a circular aperture in the forward right edge, where the retractable flashlight had been removed.

I dont think that this "camouflage" painting was ever used.

Yes of course!

It is more like an eye-catcher than only a grey one would be. ;o)

I looked at the original thread on these kits and tracked Christian at JUWA Model and got hold of two of these beaties, one for me and one for a customer I build for. I know the experts will point out what is wrong with the kits, but they are big and fun to build (that is what modelling is for me 'Fun' not 'Big')
The castings a clean and made from a very durable resin, with no visible air bubbles and very strait flat peices for such large parts! Once cleaned up the fit of parts is very good.
The only area I had a problem with and with a touch of ironey so did the first designers of the tanks and that is the 'Link & Length' tracks, with no real link join, getting a good fit around the drive sprocket and idler was a bit of a bugger. But it was WWI and there was a lot of mud about (thankfully).
When (if) the weather warms up I'll get some paint on them and put up some pics to be shot at. Or on my own 'customer' build page http://www.armour-models.co.uk/model_kit_customers.html

Happy modelling and just for the record I have a new bunch of 1/35 WWI stuff in from Panzershop.
Lou
