The Panzer Art RE35-098 product significantly increases the realism of 1/35 scale models, offering an excellent alternative to standard plastic parts. Idler wheels are often overlooked by model manufacturers, and upgrading them enhances the appearance of the rear running gear and influences the overall realism of the vehicle. The set includes complete wheels with realistically rendered details, ready to fit into the model. There are no metal or photo-etched parts included, which makes assembly intuitive, though the precise parts require delicate handling during processing.

Recommendation and Level of Difficulty

The set is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers wishing to give their models even greater historical and technical realism. I rate the build difficulty at 2/5 – a basic knowledge of working with resin and modeling tools is recommended.
