Wingz from VLS has released another versatile accessory for Luftwaffe aircraft -
a 1/32 scale Luftwaffe Starter Cart.
This is more than table dressing for your 1/32 scale Bf 109 or Fw 190. Wingz has
delivered a very nicely detailed model in its own right. It will also be
an ideal airfield compliment for
Wingz' 1/32 scale Service Cart, released earlier this year.
Wingz' 1/32 scale Luftwaffe Service Cart comprises 18 parts in pale yellow resin plus a
length of tin wire representing the cable. Casting quality of the resin
parts is very good, with fairly manageable casting blocks.
The frame base for the cart is a bit warped in my sample, but the thin
resin should easily be restored to its correct shape after dipping in
some warm water. Two of the delicate handles cast onto the main trolley
body also broke off in transit, but they were safely in the bag ready to
be re-secured when the kit is assembled.
Construction appears to be quite straightforward and should present no
problems to modellers who have have a resin kit or two under their
belts.
.
With the explosion of 1/32 scale Luftwaffe model releases over the last
few years, it is very pleasing to see complimentary accessories like
this starting to appear too.
Now, if only there were more 1/32 scale Luftwaffe figures available
too!
