The set consists of 64 resin pieces, a length of thin wire, a short length
of fine chain and a six page instruction sheet with very clear drawings to
assist in assembling the parts.
The instructions give good notes on the many variations during the Ausf.G production
to help you understand the many parts provided and in conjunction with the Tamiya kit
parts allow you to build an early, mid or late Ausf.G.
The resin parts include a new turret roof and new cupola which includes interior periscopes and split hatches and alternate L/43 or L/48 guns. A new hollow rear storage box and turret side 90mm smoke grenades are also provided as well as other small details for the turret. The smoke grenades assemblies have excellent details with separate grenades which fit inside the hollow launcher tubes which in turn are attached to the separate mounting brackets. A section of schurtzen is provided for the rear turret as sometimes fitted to late Gs.
For the hull you get a complete new rear plate with idler housings and axles plus towing shackles and other small details and a new front hull plate as well as new final drive housings to be used as required for the version you are building, the instructions indicate which parts to use for which version.
In all an excellent and comprehensive backdate set for the Ausf.G, using the detailed instructions will make it easy to decide which parts to use for the version required.
Highly recommended.
All the parts shown below are included in the full set #352033 while some
are available as separate smaller sets if this is all you need, a nice idea
by
TMD.
The smaller sets are indicated below by their number.
