Miniart 1/35 3T Troop Carrier 3.6-36S (35453)

This article will tell you more about Miniart 1/35 3T Troop Carrier 3.6-36S (35453). New release comes as yet another version of the famous German truck in popular scale. As you can guess from the name, plastic offers to build a truck with the seats in the rear section. Such a thing might be an interesting proposition for your diorama ideas. Even though boxart shows soldiers and driver, those guys are not included, and you will have to get them separately. Overall packaging is typical for Miniart, so all frames come sealed in one plastic bag. Let's open them and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with civil version of the same truck.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First frame comes with panels for the rear section. There is no wooden texture on those parts, but it is nice as you can add such thing later.

Front bonnet is molded separately. This feature can be useful in case you would like to show what is under the bonnet. :)

Wheel rims come as single parts and should be combined with tires. Note also the rifles here, those will be placed in the rear section.

Front cab should be glued out of separate panels. Such design is typical for truck cab, so I don't think you will have any issues here. Chassis bars are premolded with leaf springs.

Kit features several version of the radiator grille, and you can also add PE part on it. Here you can also see come of pioneer tools in two versions - with or without clamps.

Some small items are also in the box. For example, kit features jerry cans.

Engine and gearbox are quite detailed in this model, so it might be worth thinking on how to show it on the finished build.

Cab doors are molded separately. This feature can be useful in order to show what is in the cab or maybe to place the figurine in some interesting pose.

Plastic roadwheel tires are always welcome in 1:35 scale. In my opinion such parts look way more convincing and easier to work too.

Today's version gets some new parts to turn into troop carrier. Here you can see seats which will be placed in the rear bed.

Clear parts look nice, but Miniart doesn't supply any painting masks for those.

At the same time we get a great unpainted PE fret which will add even more features. Decals are printed in Cartograf, and quality looks nice. You can check all options on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

Today's truck looks as good as the previous versions. Nevertheless, you will need several figurines in order to show the new feature - seats in the rear section. Overall quality looks great, and it is nice that Miniart still supplies a lot of things out of the box. Even the standard build should be a great project, so be sure to find some soldiers and driver to place inside. :)
