FirstLook
This
set will be handy for diorama builders as well as those who like to
build maintenance-type vehicles, as they provide some nifty and very
delicate little details, although at a price that some might not be
willing to pay.
The parts
in this set will allow the modeler to build one tool box of the type
that when it folds open, has several levels of trays that extend.
There are separate fold-up parts for each segment of the box as well
as dividers and external hinge arms. There are “A”-frames for the
carrying handle, which itself must be sourced by the modeler using
brass or plastic rod. To finish things off, there are 18 tools,
including box and open-end wrenches, pliers and tin snips, as well
as screw-drivers. Some of these work as flat items, but some (the
screwdrivers for instance, don’t).
Recommended with reservations.
Thanks to Eduard for the review sample.
