Master Box 1/35 Typ 170V Tourenwagen (35100)

This time I will tell you more about Master Box 1/35 Typ 170V Tourenwagen (35100). Kit comes as yet another reissue from the famous brand. As the name suggests, we will get German cabrio in popular scale. Overall idea looks nice and might be suitable for some figurines from the same brand. Packaging is typical, so all frames are packed into one plastic bag. Let's open everything and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another interesting kit from Master Box.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.


First frame is dedicated to seats and separate doors. All four can be opened, what might be useful for some diorama ideas.


Main chassis is molded as one-piece, and such design should be easier to work with. Yes, engine is also included, and can be opened on your build.


Bonnet should be glued out of separate panels, that's why I wrote above that it might be possible to show the engine. Note also wheel rims on the same frame.


Roof is supplied in two versions, so the final choice will be after you. Trunk area is molded as separate section.


Floor panel looks good and comes on two attachment points. It might be also worth painting some areas prior to installation of the interior.


Clear frame is packed with others, so it might be scratched a bit. Overall molding quality looks great, but there are no masks in this kit.


Decals sheet is not that huge, but printing quality looks great. You will find all necessary license plates here and some dials for the interior.


Vinyl tires are also here, and I would recommend to find something more detailed instead. Or try to weather those parts in order to get more convincing appearance.


Marking guide is simple and printed on the rear side of the box. Assembly manual is black-and-white, I show all pages in the video-review.


Car kit should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it looks like an interesting choice for modelers who would like to build something with figurines. Moreover, there are several assembly options, what can be also useful for some diorama ideas. Molding quality looks good out of the box, so you just need to carefully join everything together.
