FirstLook

Value Gear is a company specialising in creating unique sets of stowage for 1:35 scale military vehicles.

Value Gear’s stated mission is to give your vehicles more variety. They do this by creating sets of resin stowage where no two pieces are the same. Value Gear has now released several more unique sets to supplement their growing range.

The first set under review is Tents and Tarps Set 8. This contains 12 unique sets of packs and tarps, all with straps and some including tools bundled in place.

 

 

Next up is Wooden Crate Set 4 presented in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Although the styles are the same, each and every crate in this set is individual. Some of these will be suitable for ammunition crates, and with 18 resin pieces in this set, there will be more than enough for several vehicles.

 

 

Casting quality for both sets meets the same high standard as the original batch of releases. Cleanup will be minimal too, as there is very little in the way of resin waste. Most of the packs are cast with a flat tarp as the bottom layer. You may therefore want to hollow out the area underneath so that the piece of stowage does not float above hand holds, hinges and other structural elements on the deck of your tank or vehicle.

Examples of painted packs and crates on Value Gear’s website look great.

Value Gear’s packs and crates will be a very handy and individual finishing touch for your 1:35 scale tanks and military vehicles.

Conclusion

Value Gear’s packs and crates will be a very handy and individual finishing touch for your 1:35 scale tanks and military vehicles. I think I’ll be buying a few more of these sets to boost my arsenal of stowage for future projects!

Highly Recommended

Thanks to Value Gear for the samples
