US Jeep Stowage
Blast Models 1:35 Set #BL35125K
Review by Terry Ashley

This stowage set from Blast Models is for the US Jeep and can be used with any of the Italeri or Tamiya Jeep kits and consists of twelve pieces in light cream resin with the quality of the casting being excellent without any blemishes and only very small pour points to trim off for easy cleanup.

The detail on the castings is well defined and quite realistic with the set having one large casting that fills the entire rear of the Jeep. This has a number of wooden storage boxes, ammo cans with tarps and personal equipment that sit together quite naturally.

There is just some trimming of the underside casting blocks before fitting and depending on the Jeep model some minor trimming may be needed for a snug fit, but test fitting will determine if any is needed.

Also included is a canvas covered windscreen so often fitted which just replaces the kit windscreen along with a selection of individual packs and equipment to add around the Jeep as required. There is also a spare wheel designed to go in front of the radiator but take care with the setting for this as this would not normally be carried here with a Jeep in warmer climates.

Conclusion:
Overall another simple and quick stowage set which is nicely cast and detailed allowing you to add a bit of life to your Jeep kits.

Highly recommended.
