Panzerfaust 60/100
Adlers Nest 1:35 Set #ANM-35002
Review by Terry Ashley
This set from Adlers Nest has three Panzerfaust 60/100s in
turned brass, the Panzerfaust 60 and 100 were identical externally but the
100 had additional propellant for an increase
range of theoretically 100 meters compared to the 60 meter range of the Panzerfaust
60. Both these variants were the most widely used of the Panzerfaust family
during WWII and led to the development of the infamous post war Soviet RPG.
Brass panzerfausts
There are three Panzerfausts included in the set which are cleanly
machined with the correct length warhead and tube but unfortunately don't
include the sight/firing mechanism located just behind the warhead and you
will have to add this yourself.
For this example I removed the sight/firing mechanism from a Panzerfaust
60 found in various Dragon figure sets and added this
to the Alders Nest Panzerfaust without any real difficulty to improve the
look of the brass weapon.
Alders Nest Panzerfaust fitted with mechanism from Dragon item
Conclusion:
A nicely turned Panzerfaust 60/100 with very good warhead shape but the lack
of
sight/firing mechanism
which you have to source elsewhere is a bit of a let down but otherwise is
a nice set and getting three in the set makes up a bit for the extra work you
have to put in.
Recommended.
Thanks again to me Credit Card for the review set.
