Cleaning Rods for StuG III
1:35 ScaleSet # ME-A055

Review by Terry Ashley


Voyager Models

This set of gun cleaning rods from Voyager Models is designed for the StuG III Ausf A to G and includes the rod racks and clips in fine etched brass with turned brass cleaning rods and resin cleaning head.

The etched parts are the usual high standard from Voyager with the resin part cleanly cast with just a small casting block to be removed and the four brass cleaning rod segments are perfectly formed and are designed to fit together to form the full length rod.

The cleaning rod brackets are made up of resin supports and etched brass racks and clips with small wing nuts to hold these in place. Alternate racks and clips are provided for the different designs on the Ausf.A-F early, the Ausf.F late and Ausf.G for a good choice of model.

The cleaning rod segments are as mentioned designed to fit together which they do perfectly with the join being almost invisible after and you will have to glue these together to form the full length rods with the resin cleaning head added to the last rod segment.

The small instruction sheet has clear illustrations showing the assembly of the cleaning rod racks and tow cable clips and there shouldn't be any problems during assembly.

Conclusion:
Another fairly simply update set to add the finer details to the applicable kit cleaning rods and clips and can be used on any available StuG III kit with the resin and etched parts simply replacing the kit parts.

Highly recommended.

See the Voyager Models website for additional details.

Thanks to Voyager Models for kindly providing the review samples.
