WWII German Vehicle Light Set
Tasca 1:35 Scale Kit No. 35-L7
Review by Terry Ashley

The Kit:

This simple detail set from Tasca has a selection of standard German WWII Vehicle lights plus a few extra bits for anyone wanting to add more detail while sticking with plastic parts.

The set has two small sprues with 62 parts in light beige plastic moulded to the usual high standard from Tasca without out any pin marks of flash to be removed and very nicely details parts.

The set the standard German NOTEK and Bosch lights used on various vehicles with two alternate bases for the NOTEK light, one for flat surfaces and the other for curved surfaces such as vehicle mud guards. There are also two style of Bosch light with and without the blackout cover plus very detailed light bases as well as the hull electrical junction box with just the connecting wire to be added.

There are four different style of vehicle convoy tail light to use on various applicable vehicles and a set of three smoke grenade racks with a set of empty and full tubes that can again be used on any applicable vehicle.

Other detail parts include the spare track brackets as used on the side of Tiger I turrets and a couple of meal tins with separate lids to add to any setting.

Conclusion:

This set has very detailed NOTEK and Bosch light assemblies that will make nice updates to any but the very latest kits plus the other bits thrown in and could be a useful little set to have in the spares box.

Highly recommended.
