Patlabor +++ 1:60 Schaft Enterprise Europe Type-7B/2B "Brocken" Military Labor, West-German Bundeswehr/Heer use, 1999 (modified Bandai kit)
Reality overtook fiction when the German "Brocken" Labor was scheduled to be part of German Bundeswehr and its task to defend the frontiers to the east in the late 90ies of the bygone century. Now that we are some steps further, it has some nostalgic if not surreal touch...
But I liked the idea and took it a step further when I built the kit at a time when the fictional "Brocken" would actually have been in use. Consequently, this here is a "Brocken" how it would have looked like if it had been on duty at about 2000 - in semi-authentic Bundeswehr colors and with some added weaponry (single action 75mm gun, anti tank missiles, IR spotlight) and details.
