The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  This little unit sits on 4 tiny castor type wheels which are beautifully replicated in 1/32 scale.  There is also a pump handle for pumping the lubricant plus copper wire for the hose and photo etch parts for the handles on the side of the tank.  You have the option for 2 different paint schemes....one of which is yellow which looks quite good.  These is alsoa  tiny decal sheet with markings for the side and top of the tank.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This is an excellent item to add detail to your USN diorama. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aerobonus or from the many retailers that carry their products.  

I would like to thank Aerobonus for providing me with this product sample.
