1/72 Czechoslovak Independent Armored Brigade Part I

Sheet Number: SKP 007

Reviewed by  Phil Peterson, IPMS# 8739

MSRP: 4.99 € (approximately $7.85 US) Web Site: www.skpmodel.eu The Czechoslovak Independent Armored Brigade was part of the Canadian 1st Army in Northern Europe during WWII. You can read a little about them here (The Armchair General ). Markings are provided for a Humber Mk.1 Scout Car, 2 Universal Carriers Mk II, 3 Sherman Fireflies (2 Mk IC and a Mk IC Hybrid), 3 Stuart M5A1, 3 Crusaders (a Mk.II, a Mk.III and a AA Mk.II), and 6 Cromwells (a Mk.IV, 3 Mk.VI and 2 Mk.VII). Colored instructions show the decal placement for all markings even though the full vehicle is not shown. Also included are divisional, platoon and other markings to make additional vehicles based on your references. The markings are of the dry transfer type which takes a little getting used to but makes them very easy to use over flat, camouflaged paint schemes. Instructions on how to use them are also provided. They are all printed over white and there is some white shadowing showing around some of the markings but most of the schemes should be no problem. If you want to do more than a couple vehicles, you will need to find more stars as only a few are included on the sheet. I am looking forward to finding a couple of kits to use these on as the subject is different. I want to thank SKP Models the review sample.
