Riich Model has sent Armorama news of a new product in the works featuring a horse drawn anti-aircraft weapon.
When it comes to World War Two most of us think of it as a mechanised war, while in truth horse power was still for the most part how troops and equipment got from A to B. Horses were used to tow artillery guns, field kitchens and carts and in this case towing an anti-aircraft weapon. I have seen images of the actual model represented in the box art and it does look very good. I myself am drawn towards horse drawn models and I can see this kit making into my house after its release.

RV35012 – Maschinengewehrwagen 36 – 1/35th scale

Such a dichotomy: technology of aircraft and the defense from thereof, hauled by technology of antiquity. What a cool subject!

I can say that they did a great job on the harness. It fits the bill for the standard Wehrmacht gear. Don't know much about this early war wagon but if they did the harness so well I have to think the rest is also accurate. J
