Excellent work on both horse and rider,I read that their were thousands of horses used by the Germans and other combatants as well.We are so involved in armor it's difficult to understand that the horse was the main method of transportation for many soldiers both axis and Russians.I would like to build this set,I see it is a Dragon set could you post the kit number please or PM me with that information,I would really like to build this for my Daughter,thanks Saxondog.Here's a interesting link. http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/germ ... index.html

Hi Blake,

Thank you for your compliment. You really want to build this part? I wish you good nerves!
The number is 1619.

Thanks for the Link - very interesting.

For the moment I have a lot to work - so I have little time for model building. But I have some interesting projects still on the table….

Greetings,

Erik
