Review Summary

The reviews highlight a general satisfaction with the detail and utility of the kit, particularly praising the figures, tools, and small accessories like oil drums and ladders for enhancing dioramas and tank maintenance displays. Many note the engine's compatibility with various tank models like the Tiger and Panther, though some mention it feels simplified or incomplete for detailed cutaway views. Users also advise on assembly tips, such as positioning the turret and adding figures last, and suggest including a crane for realistic engine installation scenes.

German figures and Tank accessories

By: nimrodracing50

I bought these figures as an accessory for a WW2 truck that I was building. I am pleased with the figures and the level of their detail. The tank engine included in the kit seems a little too simplified. The other items are detailed enough (including a ladder, ,an oil drum, some tools and an (empty toolbox?) The two mechanics are in natural poses and can add a nice touch to a diorama or display.

works good

By: JONATHANWPAGE

I used this kit on a tiger I that was newer than the list on this kit it fit perfectly. note; inorder to have a place to stand and work the turret needs rotated to the rt or lft rear of the tank if you place the figs to soon, like I did the flanges which hold the turret on must be removed to place the turret. this kit is very nice to improve a kit w/out breaking th bank

Tiger mechanics

By: JeremyRichard90 (Hampton, Virginia)

I have to say I was pleased with this detail kit. The motor fit perfectly into the tiger 1, I was building. The small parts, tools, barrel, and battery compliment the two mechanics very well. One thing to remember when using this kit, is to add the figures last. The turret has to be turned either left or right. I did a dry run placing the figures using blue painters tape. This didn't leave any glue residue or damage any of the paint. I also do this that way the figures can be weathered differently and be unique when finally being placed on the rear of the tank. This is a must have for any diorama that is displaying any type of tank maintenance.
