Finished model by Al Magnus
Roden 1/72 PKZ-2 - (Comments NKRModels)
This actually looks better than the 1/48 PKZ-2 Eduard did several
years ago! There's just one sprue of 50 very finely moulded parts, a
base on which to mount the
finished model and a small decal sheet. Although there's not all that
much to this trimotor WW1 helicopter (or 'flying garbage bin'), the
detail is excellent, with the
parts so fine they are probably to scale. Three rotary engines are
included and the twin propellers are designed to turn but there's no
'pilot' ... a seat is supplied
though.

Roden 1/72 IS-3 - (Comments NKRModels)
Promised by Toko several years ago, this long awaited 'replacement' for the decidedly old Airfix kit, has finally been released...and for the price, it's
very good (as good, if not better than PST 1/72 AFV kits)! There are two sprues of 127 crisp, flash free injection moulded parts, plus vinyl tracks and a
small decal sheet (markings for two vehicles). Detail is good...all road wheels and suspension arms are separately moulded...the turret and main gun are
moveable (there is also a turret mounted machine gun, supplied)...upper hull accessories include fuel tanks and spare tracks while each of the
turret 'handles' is moulded separately (and very finely too).

I have recently built a Roden Panzerwerfer 42 model in 1/72 (kit No. 712 and 714) and found that their instructions are wrong regarding the position of the bogies to be cemented on the vehicle's hull - the front bogie is drawn in the reverse position on all drawings regarding the construction of parts, while it is drawn OK on the painting instructions. - (by Vojislav Jereb)

Missing parts??
Important information about RODEN No 714 Sd.Kfz. 4/1 (8cm) Raketenvielfachwerfer auf Panzerwerfer 42: The parts C5 (rockets) are only 24 times in each kit, but you need 48 rockets. It is a problem of RODEN, because they describe in the part list only 24 C5, but in the building instruction they write 48 C5. problem is signed in red. - regards note by Albert Zrenner
Missing parts corrected - (September 2013)
Olav Hauke from Germany informed that Roden has corrected the problem. He wrote: "As I wrote you yesterday in the boxes of my two kits I found six complete sprues "C" (in each box), although four would be enough. But it is always good to have some spareparts ;-) Best regards, Olav Hauke

Model built by Dirk Schenk
In early 1943 a ten-tube multiple rocket firing system, the Nebelwerfer 41, designed by Rudolf Nebel, was mounted on the chassis of the well-known Opel
Blitz Maultier half-track. The vehicle, later named the Sd.Kfz.4/1 Panzerwerfer 42, was completely covered with armor of varying thickness, and it
offered its crews the potential of a responsive self-propelled artillery piece with significant advantages in case of firing, being able to quickly move
away from the very visible smoke trails. The 158-mm rocket system designed by Nebel was a near-perfect development and quite different from its Soviet
counterpart (the famous BM-13 Katyusha), with greater accuracy of shooting.
By 1943 the first production Panzerwerfers were sent to fighting units on the Eastern Front. Production of the self-propelled artillery was very slow,
and so the use of these vehicles was quite limited.
The main drawback of the machine was the relatively small amount of ammunition available per vehicle - each Panzerwerfer 42 could transport only ten
34-kilogram rounds during combat operations in the launcher installation itself, above the armored body, and another ten within the hull.
First, there was a plan to introduce the Sd.Kfz.250 half track for the transportation of additional ammunition into the organisation of combat
units; however, the idea was later abandoned because of its ineffectiveness. It was decided to create an ammunition transporter on the exact same
chassis and with the same design as the Panzerwerfer 42. The mobile launcher installation was removed for this purpose, and additional compartments
for 10 rockets were installed inside the truck and a further container on the upper armor plate for another 10 rounds, so the transporter could carry
thirty rockets.
The truck was designated the Munitionskraftwagen for Nebelwerfer (Sd.Kfz.4) and was incorporated into the combat units of tracked artillery.
During 1944-45, in addition to 300 Panzerwerfer 42 rocket firing systems, they managed to build at least 287 Munitionskraftwagen ammunition transporters,
which were in use until the last days of the war on both the Eastern and Western Fronts.
