Tamiya German Sdkfz. 222 with upgrade parts.
Hi Guys & Gals.
I just picked up the above Kit and would like to share my impression of it.
Personally, I like the additions of the new gun barrel & PE parts. Never truly liked the look of the old method using the mesh.
Review on the new parts, as the kit itself is untouched.
1.) Turned aluminum barrle, this one is smooth and looks like it can be used as is.
2.) PE- Parts, these parts came as a surprise. They bassically fold themselves, no tool or effort needed here. Very nice.
3.) Caniser and Barrel set is nice, but now the kit lacks additional figures/details.
4.) New set of markings, I believe that they are more historically accurate.
Some people might complain about the new price of the kit though( 1.800Yen vs 1.000yen).
