FIRST LEGION LWG011 WINTER STUG IV WIKING 5th SS PANZER DIVISION
I start with this model from First Legion from the infamous 5th SS Panzer Division in Winter version with very intersting and unique weathering, especially on side panels ( I prefer the word panels than...skirts.)

Vehicle is embraced with Thomas Gunn commander in Command cupola and Thomas Gunn gunner with some winter troops from War Park with their Officer and Underofficer in place.

Pros and Cons of FIRST LEGION WINTER STUG IV
Vehicle come with a non removable Gun Barrel that moves in scales(3 to be exact) ,its not soft to move,so needs care with handling when you move it up and down, comes also with a removable MG42 in good quality and size.
Gunner's-Loader's hatch open and close, cupola of the Commander is of superb quality and opens and close too.Motor's hatches doesn't open, vehicle doesn't roll in it's tracks.

Tracks are of good quality,very steady and they do not damage easily.
Winter weathering is very good and have some "muddy" additions in some places that give to the vehicle a unique look of used armour unit.
Side panels are removalbe and painted in a very interesting 3 colour cammo style that I like very much in this First Legion model.
Comes also with 2 removable antennas.
Other parts like protective pannel tracks, wheels and vehicle tools are not removable.
