Horch 1A	Gaso.Line, 1/48 scale

by Dr Hilton de Mello e Oliveira

Description

This is Gaso.Line's 1/48 scale German Horch 1A built as an anti-aircraft battery towing vehicle with the D.A.K. - 1941

It is quite simple and easy to build. Some spare parts were also added to improve detail here and there.

I just replaced the headlights, the canvas top, the tools, the front seats, the steering-wheel and the boarding steps. (all from the Tamiya Steyr truck). The rear plate, molded to cover the main body sprue connection, called for some gap filling and sanding. The wheels were not perfectly round.

The final result is quite good for a short run kit, the only Horch 1A in 1/48 scale that I am aware of.

I recommend this kit to all soft-skins fans. I will build another one with the 20 mm Flak 38 mounted on top.
