All resin parts are very well cast without any bubbles and flash. The only problem you have to solve during their assembly is removing or relatively big sprue from each part. The etched brass sheet includes not only usual detail parts but also bigger parts of armore, cowling, hatches atc. The driver’s compartment set includes also peace of clear foil to be insert to the board.

General Impression These sets are designed for lovers of accuracy and details who would like to built the perfect competitive models out of Pz.IVs and other vehicles with its chassis from Hasegawa’s range. Frankly said these sets are not designed for beginners because their application represents removing some parts of plastic kit and their replacing with resin or brass parts as well as work with very fine brasses.
Note The ”secret” source told me that we could expect more similar sets for other Hasegawa’s kits soon.J

We thank company Extratech that gave as both sets free of chare for our preview.
