US Radio set SINCGARS
1:35 Set #PAU-35020
Review by Terry Ashley

This resin set of US Radios SINCGARS (SINgle Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System) contains 19 parts cast in a light grey resin which are cleanly cast with only the usual casting blocks to be removed.

The set includes three Mounting bases each fitted with the Amplifier Radio and Amplifier Adaptor with one having twin RT-1439/VRC Reciever Transmitters, one with a single RT-1439/VRC Reciever Transmitter and one with a single RT-1523E (ASIP) Reciever Transmitter, there is also a separate RT-1439/VRC and RT-1439/VRC included.

Also included are two Control Monitors, four Loudspeakers and four Handsets as well as two Antenna Bases for mountings on vehicles and while the instructions show the electrical cabling setups you will have to provide the wiring yourself, something that shouldn't be a problem.

Finally there is nicely cast Combat Field Pack with an open top showing the radio face, the details on the pack are excellent and should look good when painted and a small equipment case.

The small instruction sheet shows the various components and wiring diagrams as well as a basic painting guide.

Conclusion:
A nicely detailed radio set with the separate radios allowing various configurations as well as a nice Combat Field Pack for use in dioramas, the radios will look good the the new Tamiya HMMWV or any other US vehicle.

Thanks again to Gilles from Blast Models for the usual quick delivery of my order.
See the Pro Art Models website for full details of their range.
