Tristar has been turning out some impressive tank kits of late,
not the least of which is the Panzer 38(t) Ausf.G kit (reviewed
here). With all
of that excellent detail, there are still limits to what one can
do with styrene, you cannot create thin, sharp details in that
medium. Eduard to the rescue.
This detail set starts with new fenders and fender brackets. Supplemental
armor plate around the driver's compartment is also provided. As
expected, many of the molded-on details are replaced with photo-etch
including the pioneering tool mounting brackets, gun sights, and
spare track link stowage brackets.
This set also includes two new tool boxes that look odd on the
fret, but fold into nice boxes that can be positioned open or closed.
A third box is also provided to house maintenance tools and to
mount the tank's jack.
The set is rounded out with retainer chains, grab handles, and
locking claps to keep those molded-on doors closed.
The details in this set are small and will require patience, experience
with photo-etch, and be made easier when used with good tools.
This set is definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Eduard for this review sample!
