Introduction

Tools Set is a new photo-etched 1/35 set of hand tools from Matho Models. It is set 35066.

Modelers of almost any genre 1/32-1/35 should find a lot of uses for this set.

Tools Set

Matho Models uses thin brass for this set. Etching is sharp and crisp. Small tabs hold the parts to the fret and to each other.

I count 68 parts:

Tool box x 1
Two-man crosscut saw x 1
Hacksaw x 1
Open-end wrench x 25
Combination wrench x 6
Line wrench x 6
Plumber wrench (two pieces each) x 3
Single Ended Open Jaw wrench x 6
Screwdriver (two pieces each) x 3
File (two pieces each) x 2
Pliers (3 types) x 6

The tool box is a one-piece part etched with lines to assist in folding the sides and ends. Holes for the handle are etched but no handle is provided. Presumably it will not be difficult to create one. (Toothpick?)

Detail

Matho Models etched a surprising amount of detail into these parts. The saws have teeth. Many of the wrenches have depressions that simulate the flange along the edges. The big saw features the bolts that secure the handles.

Painting

No guidance. Look at your own tool set.

Conclusion

Tools Set is an excellent 1/35 set of hand tools from Matho Models. It is set 35066. Modelers of almost any genre 1/32-1/35 should find a lot of uses for this set.

These feature a high level of detail.

There is no drawback to this set as far as I am concerned. Happily recommend it.
