Kommandowagen, 1/35 - Trumpeter 01510

The reference Trumpeter 01510 reproduces a German Kommandowagen, an armoured command wagon associated with armoured trains of the type BP 42, at the 1/35 scale. This plastic model offers a military railway subject from the Second World War, less common than a traditional armoured vehicle.

The Kommandowagen was integrated into the composition of a German armoured train. Its massive silhouette, its armour and its rail layout make it an interesting piece for a collection dedicated to military vehicles on rails or for creating a 1/35 scale railway diorama.

The kit includes the parts needed to represent the wagon, as well as sections of track intended for its display. Clear parts and a photo-etched fret are also included. Markings are provided in the form of decals.

At the 1/35 scale, each real vehicle dimension is reduced by a factor of 35. This format makes it possible to work on exterior details, glazed areas, rail equipment and the weathering of a vehicle used in a military environment. Careful painting, followed by light or more pronounced weathering depending on the chosen scene, helps to highlight the armour volumes and the rail look of the model.

Assembling a plastic model requires the usual supplies used by modellers: plastic-compatible glue, cutting tools, sandpaper, paints and finishing products. Photo-etched parts require precise handling and are generally assembled using cyanoacrylate glue.
