Two new
vehicles cross the finish line today.
The
first was more of a challenge than most 1:72 aircraft. It certainly had more
parts. This is the AModel Tsar Bomba trailer. It comes as part of the Tsar
Bomba boxing itself, and probably constitutes more actual plastic than the
bomb. Although there are a couple of large pieces to anchor things to,
everything else – each support beam, each hook and latch, each hinge and wheel,
is a separate bit. And, given their short run kit nature, tiny pieces are not
really AModel’s best trick. Still, with perseverance and sheer dimwitted
stubbornness, it can be done. I have taken photos of the trailer itself and will take a shot of it doing its intended job, holding up a Tsar Bomba atomic bomb.
The
other completion is another small airfield vehicle included in the Hasegawa support
set. I really haven’t been able to find much in the way of information about
this rather generic Vietnam era trailer, either in the Hasegawa documentation,
or on the net. I usually like to know the manufacturer and the military
designation of the models that I build, so if there are any experts out there
who know exactly what this trailer is, speak up.
