PP51 Armored Train / GPM / 1:87

  • Yep, Kartonowka happened to be the magazine published by GPM.

  • This is an interesting coincidence because, after finishing the Mont Saint-Michel (Instant Durable), I intend to build this train as well. Not the 1/87 model you have but GPM's 1/25 scale model. It has over 4000 parts spread across 55 A3 pages, plus instructions. Not surprisingly, it will take a lot of time...
    Just a remark - you say (and that is on the picture) PP51. GPM's 1/25 model is PP52 Pilsudczyk but the locomotive is clearly the same. Maybe someone can clarify this.

  • GPM offered in their magazine Kartonowka additions to their program but also new items.


    For instance: Fokker D-VII regular program - Polish version; Kartonowka: German version


    The Kartonowka version here is a scaled-down version from the regular program


    Additions in Kartonowka: jerrycans, oil-drums, sherman railings, conversion-kit for a Zero-fighter (diorama: on flightdeck with folded wings), Sherman tank railings.
