Reviews by Terry Ashley
This series of updated sets has the cylindrical fuel tanks and different style mounting brackets as fitted to the various T-34-76, -85, SU85, SU100 and SU122 vehicles during WWII.

Each set is cleanly cast in light cream resin with just the usual casting blocks to be removed and some resin film inside the fuel tank lifting handles. There were a few small air holes exposed when the casting block was removed from some tanks (not all) but these are easy to fill or can be positioned on the underside out of sight when fitted to the vehicle.

Detail on the tanks is nicely done with well defined filler cap and weld seam down the centre of the tank with the end mounted lifting handles being separate parts with subtle wear and tear denting also included but this is not excessive and should look convincing when weathered.

The mounting brackets are also well detailed with the minor changes applicable for each type in the sets.

Conclusion:
Nicely cast cylindrical tanks that are well detailed and simply replace the kit part on whichever kit they are used to add extra details.

Highly recommended.

Below are the parts from each set covered in this review.
