Value Gear Details, based in Flagstaff, Arizona, produces a wide range of high-quality resin accessories for most common model scales. Many of the accessories and stowage sets are universal, which is a nice advantage. The set featured in this review has 14 pieces molded in gray resin. There are 10 rolls of different sizes and four crates. Also available in this scale are sets Crates #1 Sci-Fi Style, Crates # 2 Traditional Military Style, Tarp Rolls & Crate Stowage Bits #1, Tarp Rolls & Crate Stowage Bits #3, and Tarp Rolls & Crate Stowage Bits #4.

Clean-up is minimal. I removed the miniscule amount of flash by running a hobby knife along the bottom edge. Next, I soaked the pieces in a mild detergent solution and left them to air dry. This recommended step ensures that all mold release is removed. I then primed them using Tamiya Fine Surface Primer.

I painted the sample pieces using Tamiya and Vallejo paints. In addition to acrylic paints, I applied some Tamiya panel liner to accentuate the edges of the bindings and gave them a final coat of Tamiya Flat Clear.

For display purposes, the pieces are sitting on a 1/16 Das Werk Stug III, which is in progress and unpainted. This is a universal set and therefore can be used on many 1/16 scale subjects and it can even be used for diorama purposes, such as making a cargo depot with 120mm figures.

I highly recommend trying Value Gear Details. No matter what is purchased, you will be very happy with the superior quality production and clean casting. And, as their name implies, all of their products really are a good value!

Thank you to Value Gear for providing the IPMS Reviewer Corp with this excellent sample and thank you to IPMS USA for the opportunity to review it.
