IS WS052 Normandy or AK? (1 Viewer)

[Kurt]

I am interested in getting a WS052 Prime Mover Halftrack if it has the desert paint scheme. But I have seen some pictures of it that look like Normandy paint? Can someone tell me which it is or if there were two versions? Thanks

Only one and it's Normandy.

There is an AK version of this vehicle available-AK26. A different configuration, but same vehicle.
Hope that helps.

Ak-26 is a three ton Prime Mover,and Ws-52 is a Eight ton Prime Mover. The Eight Ton would haul heavier Wpns like the 88 while the smaller versions of this vehicle hauled lighter Wpns.

You know Bill - they all look the same through a bomb site of B-24

Several members of the forum have had various K&C and FOV sets repainted in different paint schemes. One of the persons who does this work is Alex (alexdakar).

I recall Carlos (desk11desk12) has posted a couple of pictures of his customized 21st Century version painted and weathered as AK. Perhaps that has added to the confusion.

It is Normandy.

OOOOOPS- my mistake, I totally failed to notice this.

Here is the one I did.

Outstanding work ! Did you hand make the canvas top ?
Very impressive.

I applied tissue paper from gifts with watered down glue then painted it. The tissue paper gives it a more realistic look then just the plastic canvas.

Great stuff - how did you shape it?? It really looks great.
