BUNDESWEHR TANK TRANSPORTERS IN DETAIL: GERMAN HEAVY TRANSPORTERS SLT 56 FRANZISKA & SLT 50-3 ELEFANT 

PHOTO MANUAL FOR MODELERS

Review by Terry Ashley:

''...As with previous volumes in this series the book is packed with superb close-up walk around photos of the tractors and trailers to satisfy most modelling needs.
Pages 1-9 has fairly lengthy text for this series on the historical, development, technical and service life of the FAUNs along with some overall shots of the two vehicles and this is followed by the section on the Franziska starting with a 14 page walk around of the cab. This has a few external close-up shots of the lights, mirrors and roof layout but mostly concentrates on the interior with superb shots of every visible feature in the cab. The seats are shown from all angles including the lower supports with shots of the doors and inside roof details showing the panel contours and the roof hatch. The instrument panel and the various instrument clusters and compartments are shown as are the driver's foot pedals and gear levers along with the steering column and wheel and the colour photos show the many different colours of the fittings which will be more than useful to the modeller.
The next 5 pages show the engine compartment and associated intake grills and large exhaust muffler as well as the top engine cover open showing some plumbing visible at the top of the power pack with a line drawing showing the layout of the power pack, radiators and exhaust which again will be very useful.
Next comes 8 pages with excellent close-up shots of the winches, fifth wheel and tractor rear section showing the complicated hydraulic oil pipes on the winches...
... Conclusion:
Another superb volume from Wings & Wheels on the big FAUNs with excellent close-up coverage of virtually every area of the Franziska to satisfy those who are yet to build the Trumpeter kit and may temp those who have already finished theirs to get another to incorporate all the detail shown.
Highly recommended!''  (Terry Ashley)
