Airfix European Building Ruins
Airfix Polish Bank - 1:72
Product Code: A75015
Production Details:
Poland was attacked by Nazi Germany in September 1939, and this invasion sparked the start of World War II. The destruction caused by this and the later Soviet counter offensives during 1944 and 1945 meant many important buildings were ruined. This bank building typifies this destruction.
Czechoslovakia was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938, but it was not until the Soviet forces came streaming across from the east in 1944 and 1945 that massive destruction of cities, towns and villages took place. This restaurant building makes for a perfect focal point for modelling a scene from this period.
Attacking and bombing bridges across Europe was a strategic necessity thoughout WWII and this model represents a typical ruined example that makes for excellent possibilities for modelling a superb diorama as well as wargaming features.
