Many thanks to the Hauler Brengun Company and the IPMS Reviewer Corps for allowing me to review this unique diorama accessory. Hauler Brengun is a valued contributor to the IPMS Reviewer system and I am very pleased to report on my experience with this excellent accessory, a modern USN tow bar.

USN jets are one of my favorite modeling subjects, and small details such as this tow bar add greatly to displays of completed kits. These towbars are ubiquitous anywhere aircraft get pulled around.

The kit components arrived in a 5.5 x 2.75 inch plastic pouch with the resin and photo etch parts individually packaged. A simple and very adequate black and white instruction sheet illustrates the assembly steps. The photo-etched metal is brass and the light-gray resin is not brittle. The parts were easily detached from the fret and pour plugs and the relief-etched fold lines in the brass are very easy to see. The metal is very finely etched and is malleable enough to easily bend without too much pressure.

I put the towbar together in about an hour, with most of that time spent with paint, etc. The assembly was really very straight forward and I am pleased with the result. I recommend this detail kit.

Hauler Brengun has done a great job with a unique add-on accessory will improve many dioramas. Thank you very much for providing this cool kit for review! Thank you to the Reviewer Corps for making all this happen; it is great to be part of the team.
