Tiger Models 1/35th German 2 ton Late Jib Boom.

This small kit comes in 3 zip lock bags and contains 54 small resin parts 4 lengths of styrene tube, a length of small copper chain, 2 lengths of the smallest copper chain I have ever seen and a length of solder wire and a double sided A4 sheet of instructions complete the contents of the bag.
The resin is cast in a light cream and is very well done with just a few small air bubbles evident; you will have to be very careful when removing the pieces from the casting blocks, as some of them are very small and delicate. An extra pulley and clevises are provided so that you can rig the jib up to suit your needs. The extra eyelets and D-rings and the solder wire can be used to rig up a cable sling to lift an engine.


Conclusion
First impressions of this small kit, and that is what it is a small kit in its own right are very good, some very careful work will have to be done to bring out all the detail. But a diorama with this little thing sat on top of your tank with the engine in mid air will look good.
