The Soviet Army Fence PO-2 is used today around Soviet bases. It consists of molded large panels, set on top of square concrete blocks, with small doors below them that only allow small animals through, all linked together in long stretches.
THE KIT:
Croco is a model company based in Riga, Latvia, that specializes in 1/72nd scale resin kits and PE accessories and decals.
This kit comes in a small generic brown box that has a hinged lid with tabs that lock it to the bottom.
The cover art is a separate sheet that is glued to the top of the box. It has a color photo of an actual fence on it.

There is little or no cleanup of these parts needed, except for maybe some light sanding of edges of the large panels and the doors. Detail is excellent.
There are no instructions included, but using the box art to know how to assemble the kit works well.

I wonder what material the actual large panels in a real fence are made of? If they are steel, wood or some other material. I found nothing on Wikipedia about these fences.
This will really dress up a diorama of a Soviet base.
Highly recommended.
Thanks to Croco models for the review sample.
