This
is a very handy set of extras to dress up your AFVs (or, using the
M1936 field bags, the backs of your leg infantry). The two identical
sprues give you multiple quantities of field bags, tarps, sleeping
bags, ammo pouches, jerry cans, fuel drums, nd barracks and duffle
bags. There are even two different sizes of vehicle weight roundels
and decals for jeeps and cargo trucks.
While
you don't get the sharp undercuts in plastic like you do with resin
products, the "soft" goods here have a nice hang to them
and will look fine with some basic painting techiques. You might
want to fill in the back sides of the field and ammo bags if they
will be hanging loosely from your vehicle. And for a more realistic
look, nip off the little tabs on the field bags and loop some foil
or paper straps over your hanging device.
The
fuel drums and jerry cans (including some captured German cans)
are well done. Make sure to smooth the seam under the mouth of the
U.S. jerry can, and for heightened realism, add a sliver to create
the raised seam on the backside of the can (below the "hump"),
from the horizontal separation downward to the bottom rim.
