New (ahem...) Tamiya 1/35 German Field Maintenance

Tamiya and Italeri quiet often are doing reboxing of their stuffs. This time is the turn of the 1/35 German Field Maintenance set, now reboxed from the Japanese brand, with the addition of a small Tamiya sprue that originally came in the U.S. 2 ½ Ton 6x6 Red Ball Express kit.

The set is not of an amazing casting quality, but can be very useful to complete your base, using some of the many elements included.

Price should be $27.95, but check on Ebay for some bargain.

Quoting Tamiya website:
