Thanks!

Odd-looking cover. More like a video game than anything, but still a very good review of a key event in the war. German radar technology was very good at this point, and the learnings from the raid helped the Allies improve their penetration of Europe. Nice review, Randy!

The Frence company, DESKIT, has made two resin model kits of the German Wurzburg radar. These are 1:35 scale models. One kit assembles into an open and deployed radar dish. The other kit assembles into a folded dish, with trailer wheels attached to the front and rear.

Another Wurzburg version, permanently affixed to a trailer, is featured in a 1:72 scale resin kit by EXTRATECH, in the Czech Republic.

The German company, ULRICH PUCHALA MINIATUREN has produced a resin Wurzburg radar kit in 1:35 scale.

Are there other companies out there making radar models?

Englands' successful air defense against the German Luftwaffe, influenced the tactics which the United States used in defending Islands in the Pacific, against Japanese aggression.

Czech Republic.

Hi Randy,

This is an interesting action, and has great diorama possibilities. They left a couple of paras behind if I remember corectly, when they embarked from the beach.

It would be good to see some radar kits in plastic.

Thank you for the comments and replies guys. I appreciate it. After reviewing the book I am tempted to try and make a small vignette of the radar and a few British commandos.

Thanks again,

Harv
