Amusing Hobby has distinguished itself in the armor modeling market by producing kits of unusual, historically significant military vehicles and equipment that fill gaps in most manufacturers' catalogs. This collection showcases their 1/35 scale aftermarket parts and accessories, focusing on specialized support equipment, recovery vehicles, and military infrastructure that complement armor kits and create comprehensive diorama environments. Amusing Hobby's approach emphasizes subjects that tell complete stories about military operations beyond frontline combat, including the logistics, maintenance, and support activities essential to armored warfare. These kits appeal to modelers who value historical completeness, enjoy building distinctive subjects, and seek to create dioramas that depict the full scope of military operations rather than simply displaying isolated combat vehicles.
The Fries Kran 16-ton Strabokran represents a specialized piece of German military equipment used for heavy lifting operations in depots, maintenance facilities, and construction sites supporting Wehrmacht operations during World War II. This mobile crane featured a rotating boom, stabilizing outriggers, and lifting capacity sufficient for handling tank turrets, engines, and other heavy components during maintenance and repair operations. The Strabokran saw service across multiple theaters, supporting armored units, construction battalions, and logistics operations wherever heavy lifting capability was required. Amusing Hobby's kit captures the mechanical complexity of this specialized equipment with detailed boom structure, realistic cable rigging, operating mechanisms, and authentic German military markings. The model serves multiple diorama purposes including tank maintenance scenes, equipment depot displays, construction operations, or recovery scenarios showing the support infrastructure essential to armored operations.
Amusing Hobby's aftermarket parts extend beyond simple detail sets to include complete specialized vehicles and equipment that populate military scenes with authentic supporting elements. These subjects allow modelers to create comprehensive dioramas depicting maintenance facilities where tanks receive repairs, supply depots where equipment is staged and loaded, construction sites where military infrastructure is built, or recovery operations where disabled vehicles are salvaged. The inclusion of cranes, recovery vehicles, and specialized equipment transforms static tank displays into narrative scenes that illustrate the complex logistics and support operations underlying armored warfare. These kits work effectively alongside armor models from any manufacturer, allowing modelers to combine Amusing Hobby support equipment with tanks from Tamiya, Trumpeter, MiniArt, or other brands to create integrated military environments.
Amusing Hobby kits feature precision injection molding with crisp surface detail, accurate mechanical representations, and comprehensive parts breakdown that allows realistic assembly of complex equipment. The kits typically include photoetched metal parts for delicate details such as railings, screens, and structural bracing, along with clear parts for windows and lights. Decal sheets provide authentic German military markings, unit insignia, and equipment stenciling appropriate to various time periods and theaters of operation. The engineering emphasizes both visual accuracy and structural stability, ensuring that completed models can support their own weight and maintain proper alignment of moving parts or extended components like crane booms. While the kits require moderate to advanced modeling skills due to their mechanical complexity and parts count, they reward careful assembly with distinctive display pieces that stand out in collections and competitions.
