Another big review is here, and this time I will tell you more about Miniart 1/35 Sd.Kfz.234/1 Early Interior Kit (35410). As you can guess, it copies the initial version of the famous wheeled vehicle in popular scale. Note that full interior comes as part of the standard package, so you will be able to copy way more features. I reviewed previous releases, so it is interesting to see what is included in the new one. Packaging is typical for this brand, and all frames come sealed in a bag. Let's open them and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another interesting version.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.
We are going to start with two large frames, and here you can see roadwheels as well as some of the interior sections. Note that spare wheel can be assembled in two different styles.
Top hull section is molded as one-piece element with separate panels. Such design should be easier to handle during assembly.
This frame comes in four pieces and carries all necessary parts for the suspension. Assembly will be a bit tedious, but this is something you can't avoid while building German vehicle.
All stowage boxes are molded in shut position, so you won't be able to place something inside. Here you can also see some of interior equipment.
Miniart includes nice jerry cans as part of the standard package. Those will be handy to place on the vehicle, and you can leave few aside for future builds.
Side panels are molded separately with hatches as additional parts. All this might be handy to expose the interior on the finished model.
Lower hull section should be glued out of separate panels, but there tabs which will help you with alignment. Interior floor panel looks nice and deserves some weathering done.
Turret will be filled with various components, so it is worth to check everything in advance and make up some plan. Even the thinnest parts look clean and ready to be installed.
I like that even the engine is here. Miniart also gives some wiring suggestions in the assembly manual. Of course, it is something what is cool to show on the finished build.
Clear frame is packed into a separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included here.
PE fret is packed into separate cardboard envelope. Here you will find parts for internal and external details on your model.
Decals are printed in Cartograf, so you don't have to worry about possible quality issues here. There are six markings, and you can see them on the photo below.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.
New kit should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is as good as the previous ones, even though Interior Kit is more suitable for experienced modelers. Parts count and amount of features is not a joke here, so it is better to have some knowledge for this project. Overall quality looks great, and I can recommend to get some figurines to combine with this build.
