RoR Review – Rommel’s Rod
The Desert Fox is back!
See the RoR Review – Rommel’s Rod
 Revell has re-released its classic kit, “Rommel’s Rod†to the delight of modeling enthusiasts everywhere. I had a blast putting this kit together but the highlight is detailing the withered bones of “Der General†and his faithful driver.
 This kit was first issued 40 years ago and since that time the original tooling was lost. Kits were selling on the open market for upwards of $500 in recent years but this new version (kit #85-4260) sells for around $20. To make it even better this kit provides excellent part fit from the new tooling and easy to follow instructions. In addition you’ll find yourself researching WWII history for things like accurate colors and you might even learn a few things about Erwin Rommel too.
I bought one in August at a LHS and just checked it, and the defect has been
corrected. But thanks for the great article and the heads up.
