New article is dedicated to Miniart 1/35 German L1500S Truck with Cargo Trailer (38023). I guess name says it all - one box will bring us quite an interesting combo in popular scale. Moreover, manufacturer decided to copy quite unusual markings with beer (!!!) inside. Truck might be familiar to some of you because it was released in several different boxings. Packaging is typical - all frames come sealed in the same plastic bag. Let's open it and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with Maybach tank in the same scale.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts closer.
We are going to start with one of the biggest frames. Here you will find parts for the front cab such as fenders and separate doors.
Yes, we do have beer barrels here. These will be placed in the trailer and in the truck. Overall design is standard for such thing.
Overall molding quality looks fine. Even the thinnest parts are clean and ready to be used off the sprue.
Plastic roadwheels can be considered as one of the advantages of this kit. Such items will be easier to paint and weather.
Last grey plastic frame is full with mix of various parts. For example, you will find a great engine, which can be displayed with help of open bonnet.
Another great advantage is that Miniart packed this front cab part into separate box in order to avoid any accidental damage. Such design is also good because it provides you with the right shape ready for assembly.
Decals sheet is printed in Decograph, so you don't have to worry about possible quality issues. Here you will find all necessary symbols for several marking options.
Clear frame comes in separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks fine, but there are no masks included, so you will have to cut your own masking stickers.
PE frets are packed into separate envelope. Those unpainted parts will be used in order to add some minor features. Assembly manual is typical and all pages can be checked in the video-review.
Today's combo kit should be already available for purchase. In one box you will get decent plastic with unusual markings which should look great in the finished state. The only thing required from you - careful assembly of all these things together. Yes, there are only two markings, but nobody stops you from finding some alternative options to use on the model. Today's truck gives a nice chance to take a break from all these military vehicles and assemble something simple and funny. I think some modelers would be happy to build diorama project with Miniart kit.
