Miniart 1/35 G7117 1,5t 4X4 Repair Truck (35494)

Today I am going to tell you more about Miniart 1/35 G7117 1,5t 4X4 Repair Truck (35494). New version comes as yet another combo-set from the famous manufacturer. Such a package can be useful for some diorama ideas in popular scale. Moreover, all those crazy items can look cool with some figurines, so it is definitely something worth checking together. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, so all parts are sealed into one plastic bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with the previous wrecker version.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.

First mix of frames is typical for G7117 from Miniart. Note that bonnet is molded separately and can be used to show what is inside.

On this photo we can already see some of the tools which will be placed in the rear side of the truck. Main chassis bars are molded together with leafsprings.

Just like the previous versions, today's one features plastic wheels, which should be fun to work with. Here you can see more of the various tools as well as the engine.

Some of you might recognize these items as they were also part of the garage set, and now they come together with a truck.

Front cab design is quite straightforward, so you just need to combine all the panels together. Note that doors are molded separately here.

Tarpauline is separated into several sections, be careful while joining them all together.

Rear section should be easy to build thanks to smart design and some guiding elements on parts.

Various drawers and boxes have doors molded shut, so you won't be able to open them.

Clear frame comes in the separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included in the kit.

Small metal chain should come handy for some fine features on your model. This is definitely a good thing to have in the box.

Unpainted PE fret will be used both inside and outside. Parts look fine, but some of them are quite tiny and require handling with tweezers.

Decals are printed in Cartograf, so you don't have to worry about the quality. Here you will find all necessary symbols for four marking options which are shown below..

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

New truck should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for some diorama build in popular scale. Overall package should be fun to assemble, and you just need some figurines for a bit more detailed look. As for the quality, I can say there is nothing to worry about, parts look great and division is made to make buildup quicker. :)
