Universal Stowage Set No. 2
Value Gear has produced a complete line of stowage items that are useful for adding those finishing touches to armor projects or dioramas of all types. This set contains 25 cast resin stowage items for armored vehicles, although some of these items could also be useful in aircraft, sci-fi, or automotive dioramas.
There is a lot of variety here. This assortment includes backpacks, bedrolls, duffle bags, toolboxes, cardboard boxes, equipment bags, and sleeping cots. The vendor’s website claims that all 25 items are unique. That may indeed be true, but the six backpacks supplied seem to be of two types, with only subtle differences among them. The resin is a neutral, medium-dark gray color. The surfaces are slightly textured, again with variability. The sculpting of these parts is excellent, with the appropriate creases, straps, buckles, and in some cases, a little wear and tear.
The castings are nicely done. Only minor sanding is needed to clean up the edges. The boxes held primer and acrylic paint well after being scrubbed with soap and water. The kit does not provide any decals for markings.
Overall, these accessory pieces are nicely done, reasonably priced, and will add to your models. I highly recommend this set.
