Academy 13401 1/72 German Guel Tank & Stiwimm - Build Overview

The Academy 13401 plastic kit reproduces the German Guel Tank and Stiwimm in 1/72 scale with careful attention to small-scale detail. The parts are arranged to give a precise, methodical assembly that appeals to modellers who enjoy working with fine components and historical subjects. The kit rewards patience with a neat finished model that highlights wartime engineering lines.

Prototype Background and Detail Focus

The Guel Tank and Stiwimm were valued in WWII for their flexibility and reliable performance across varied conditions. This kit captures key profile and surface details so builders can study the vehicle features while assembling a faithful miniature. The design aims to reflect the operational look and proportions of the originals.

Assembly Tips and Display Considerations

Suitable for builders seeking a moderately challenging project, the precision-moulded pieces require careful trimming and fitting. Use standard plastic cement and take time on seams and paint prep to get display-ready results. Once finished, the model makes a compact but striking addition to a military cabinet or diorama.
