Trakz 1/35
Sherman Late Production High Bustle Turret

Trakz is one of the product lines that come from the creative minds of VLS. They've produced a wide range of resin vehicle accessories that feature great detail and simple construction. Here is another release of interest. Click on the photo to see an enlarged view.

In this set, Trakz has provided a nicely hollow cast Sherman turret in the late production configuration. The set comes as you see in these photos - new turret, turret ring, cupola ring, commander's hatch and gun mantle. The casting on the surface of the turret nicely captures the rough-cast texture on the metal-cast turrets (as opposed to welded turrets).

No special skills will be required to use this set other that experience working with resin and cyano adhesives, which is why the skill level is indicated at 'intermediate'.

You can purchase this and any of the Trakz line from your local hobby retailer or directly from VLS' website at www.modelmecca.com. They have some of the fastest mail order delivery in this industry - give them a try!

My sincere thanks to VLS for this review sample!
