Miniart 1/35 Kfz.1 German Troop Carrier Type170VK (35486)

This review will tell you more about Miniart 1/35 Kfz.1 German Troop Carrier Type170VK (35486). New set comes as yet another version of the German car model kit in popular scale. I reviewed the previous releases, so it will be interesting to see what has changed here. Overall packaging is typical for this manufacturer, and all parts are sealed into one plastic bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look.
By the way, here you can read review with communications car kit in the same scale.

You can help us get the new camera - just press "Donate" button on the right panel.


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


Just like in the previous versions of this car, we get one-piece main chassis. Such a thing will be handy for a more precise assembly of parts.


You can also notice that we get separate bonnet panels. You can position them open in order to show the engine inside.


Side panels and seats come on the next sprue. Car will feature open roof, but we still get separate doors too.


Engine and drivetrain are looking great, but it will be quite a challenge to show everything on the finished model. Another good idea is to add some wiring where it is necessary.


Clear frame is packed into separate plastic bag. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included in this kit.


Unpainted PE fret will be useful for some fine features on your model. Note that in some cases you will need tweezers.


Decals come from Cartograf, so printing quality looks great. You will find here all necessary symbols for four markings. Options can be checked on the photo below.


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


New release should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is an interesting alternative to all the typical subjects we are used to see assembled. Overall quality looks great and amount of details out of the box is truly impressive. The only thing that might be worth getting is driver figurine or at least some soldier to place around.
