German Aircraft Power Supply Unit w/Luftwaffe Crew - Tamiya 89768 - 1/48 - Kit Review

Reviewing Tamiya's, 1/48 scale, 2010 release, German Aircraft Power Supply Unit model kit, No. 89768, a co-operative effort by Tamiya, and ICM of Ukraine.

Originally released in 2006, as Tamiya's ''German Power Supply Unit & Kettenkraftrad'' model kit, No. 32533, the reviewed kit, includes 8 Luftwaffe figures in various poses, with a dog, from ICM, and, along with the 3 Luftwaffe figures, included in the original Tamiya kit, makes a total of 11 (actually 12, see the note below) Luftwaffe figures in all. Also included is, naturally, the Power Supply Unit, as well as the Kettenkraftrad, fuel drums, and other accessories, such as a trolley fire extinguisher. Each figure comes with separate arms, legs, heads, and torsos.

NOTE: There are, in reality,12 figures included in this kit. The extra figure being the Wehrmacht driver from the original Tamiya 1/48 scale Kettenkraftrad kit, ''German Kettenkraftrad w/Infantry Cart & Goliath Demolition Vehicle'' released in 2004, under Kit No. 32502.
Highly recommended for an modeller interested in creating a Luftwaffe airfield diorama.
