HäT's Wagon - and Airfix Detective Work.
Permalink   


The test shots of HäT's German horse-drawn wagon are on their forum.

Now, somewhere in the Airfix Magazine 1960s archive is an article on converting the Wagon Train wagon into the British G.S. Why I have suddenly remembered this, I have no idea.

Any volunteers?

WD Models are bringing out a model of the British GS Wagon in a few months or so - i've just had a look at the Airfix wagon, and having been up close and personal (and sat on the driver's seat of, blimey it's high!) with a WW1 GS Wagon they couldn't be any more different

NO!! Don´t ask...smile Hat bring out thier stuff when it comes out....there seems to be a parallel universe there when it comes to announced release dates and the real ones. They seem to overstretch themselves with thier production lines...pity cos some of it is ok.

Judging from the sprues,  this appears to be a good renddition of the German Baggage Wagon 02.  ( It is not the light field wagon 95 which was slightly larger.)  The only inaccuracies I see are the driver seat hand-rails which need to be re-shaped.
