After T-10 from Soviet, let shift side to German, a super heavy tank, or should call it Flak / AA-gun. Although it looks/sounds interesting, but the actual field run shown the engine not power enough, too slow, also due to its massive weight, it can't run on bridge or soft ground, i.e. makes it a big target for enemy. This is first time I build vespid kit, its QC is similar to Takom and in more reasonable price. I chose to mix a hull red turret with the camo+ed chassis. ³o¼Ë 2023 ¦~²Ä¤G¤Q¤C§@ (²Ö­p¤W¦â¦¨«~²Ä ¤T ¤@ ¤E ¸¹) ¤JÂd¤F¡C
