Review by Terry Ashley
The latest in the series of resin vehicle stowage from Blast Models is this set designed for the Tamiya U.S. M3/M16/M21 Half Track kits and consists of just three pieces in light cream resin with the quality of the casting again excellent without any blemishes and only very small pour points and some minor excess resin film to trim off for easy cleanup.

The thing different with this set is that it includes the complete front bumper with underside winch detail with the various stowage items cast in place and is designed to completely replace the kit bumper and winch parts with just the two towing hooks as separate resin parts.

The detail on the castings is very realistic with well defined details on the folds, bedrolls and equipment with crisp details and well defined details on the underside winch detail.

After the minor cleanup fitting is very easy with the stowage cast to fit snugly against the kit radiator flaps in the closed position.

Conclusion:
Another simple but detailed set and the inclusion of the bumper and winch in the casting makes for a very natural sit of the stowage with easy fitting to add a different but typical look to the front of your half tracks.

Highly recommended.
