Cleaning Rods for Panzer IV
Early version
1:35 ScaleSet # ME-A056

Review by Terry Ashley

---

The etched parts are the usual high standard from Voyager with the resin part cleanly cast with just a small casting block to be removed and the two brass cleaning rod segments are perfectly formed and are designed to fit together to form the full length rod.

The cleaning rod brackets are made up of etched brass racks and clips with small wing nuts to hold these in place and small end brackets for the racks.

The cleaning rod segments are as mentioned designed to fit together which they do perfectly with the join being almost invisible after and you will have to glue these together to form the full length rods with the resin cleaning head added to the last rod segment.

The small instruction sheet has clear illustrations showing the assembly of the cleaning rod racks and tow cable clips and there shouldn't be any problems during assembly.

Conclusion:
Another fairly simply update set to add the finer details to the kit cleaning rods and clips and perfect for either of the recent early Panzer IVs from Dragon and Tristar with the resin and etched parts simply replacing the kit parts.

Highly recommended.

See the Voyager Models website for additional details.

Thanks to Voyager Models for kindly providing the review samples.
