M8 Greyhound Stowage
1/35 #BL35062K
Review by Terry Ashley
This
stowage
set is designed for the Tamiya M8 Greyhound (Kit #35228) and consists
of
eight pieces in light cream
resin
with
the quality
of the casting being excellent without any blemishes and only very small pour
points and minor seam lines to trim off the parts with this pouring method making
life a lot easier than the usual large pouring blocks.
The detail on the castings is very realistic with well defined details and folds on the bedrolls, tarps etc and crisp details on the other equipment included.
The large casting is designed to go on the engine deck with indentations for the air intake covers with three groups of packs and rolls designed to fit the contours of the turret sides and a couple of individual packs to either hang from the front light guards as often seen or anywhere else you wish.
Conclusion:
A simple but nicely detailed set to add life to your M8 kit and while designed
for the Tamiya kit could probably be used on the Italeri kit with only minor
trimming.
Highly recommended.
