Darn I never thought they would produce a kit of that. I have kit of military version in ‘one day’ pile along an Australian model magazine article complete with scale drawings for two Aussie versions.

GDR had it´s own South Pole expedition, using Soviet tractors. Should I feel tempted…?
Lets hope that Takom gives us interesting marking options.
