If you've been modeling for any period of time, you've probably
heard of Armor Research and their like of detail parts for
1/35 armor subjects. The company is owned by our own Ray Mehlberger
and I had to ask him why we don't see much of his stuff these
days. Like many aftermarket companies, Armor Research has been
selling direct to the modeler. A link to the website is at
the end of this review.
This set provides twelve single-round ammo boxes for 88mm (8.8cm)
ammunition. Each box has nice wood detailing cast onto the
sides, plus nice hinge detailing as well. Whether you're resupplying
a Tiger Tank or a Flak gun, these boxes stacked up will add
fidelity and detail to your diorama or vignette.
At $5.00, this set is an economical way to add additional
details to your project. Give 'em a try. You can purchase
this set directly from Armor Research at:

My sincere thanks to Armor Research for this review sample.
