This month's interesting releases from Trakz enhances the recent Tamiya T-55 kit and introduces a new waterslide decals for the Tiger tank. Check these out: (Click on the photo to see an enlarged view.)
 
1/35 T-55 Roadwheels w/Raised Ribs TX0077 MSRP $17.95 USD This set provides a replacement set of road wheels for the T-55 that feature the raised ribs that are usually found on the rubber portions of the road wheels. These wheels work with the Tamiya vinyl retainer rings to mount the wheels onto the kit axles.
  
1/35 Tiger Tank Decals TX0078 - Tigers in Tunisia TX0079 - Tigers in Italy TX0080 - Tigers in Normandy MSRP $8.95 USD each These three sheets of nicely printed waterslide decals will put your 1/35 Tiger tank in the right theater for your vignette. No instructions are included with these decals so you'll need to refer to your photo references for placement of these markings, but the good news is that the subjects here are found in the more common photos available in print.
You can purchase these and any of the Trakz line from your local hobby retailer or directly from VLS' website at www.modelmecca.com. They have some of the fastest mail order delivery in this industry - give them a try! My sincere thanks to VLS for these review samples! |
