Reviews by Terry Ashley
New from Hussar Productions are these two ammo sets for the big Trumpeter 1/16th
T-34
kits, one set for the T-34-76 and one for the T-34-85.
The T-34-76 set #16004 has four types of ammo with two of each type as well
as two empty shell casings which have the top 4mm hollowed out. The quality
of
the
castings is excellent without any blemishes and only the casting blocks to
be removed.
To
add details
there
is
an etched
fret with the shell base plate with engraved details plus a decal sheet with
shell stenciling as well as a colour illustration of the rounds to aid in
painting and decal placement for well detailed ammo rounds.

The T-34-85 set #16005 has three types of ammo with two of each type as well
as two empty shell casings which have the top 4mm hollowed out. The quality of
the

to be removed. There
is
also an etched
fret with the shell base plate with engraved details plus a decal sheet with
shell stenciling as well as a colour illustration of the rounds to aid in
painting and decal placement for equally well detailed ammo rounds.

Conclusion:
Superbly cast and detailed ammo sets to add to the 1/16th T-34 kits and can
be used inside or out of the kits.
Highly Recommended
