German Tank Tools
Etched/Resin Detail Set#HLX48023
1:48 Scale
Review by Terry Ashley

This set has just five parts in light cream resin which are cleanly cast with just the usual casting blocks to be removed and a small etched fret with brackets and tool clips included.

The set gives you tools that are moulded integrally with the Tamiya German kit hulls as well as some separate tools and of course you have to carefully shave off the plastic tools from the kit hull which is quite easy to do.

The new tools then replace these with etched brackets for the fire extinguisher, shovel, axe and wire cutters with tools clips to hold the tools in place.

Simple instructions with exploded view drawings clearly show the assembly required on the tools and clips.

The set requires a little work in removing the moulded on tools but are simple enough to use and offer a far greater degree of detail than the tools supplied in the Tamiya kits.

Highly recommended
