Railway Covered Goods Wagon 18t “NTV” Type
Kit Number #35288
1:35th scale
Box size: 386x240x60 cm
The 18t NTV Waggon was used as a large part of the transportation network of German goods, supplies, troops and weapons around the German-controlled areas during WWII especially. We have seen a few of these goods trailers available from a few model suppliers of recent, but this is the first railway car that MioniArt have made. It should go well with some of MiniArt's previous railway accessories...
