I keep hoping someone will release a Panzerschreck kit with PE shields at an affordable cost.

Well, after a series of Soviet weapons and equipment sets, Miniart appears to have set its sights on German weapons. Hopefully, they'll pursue this trend and eventually give us some good US weapons and equipment sets that would include a decent water-cooled M1917 Browning MG, some standard Springlfield rifles and, dare I wish, correct WWII-style M1 carbines!

Looks like a really great accessory set, but too bad they didn't include a small PE fret with the safety rings. Dragon, for all their shortcomings, did include that with some sets including Panzerfausts.

Would be nice to have a set of RPGs, both early and later.

This does look really nice, especially with the decals included. The boxes themselves will be a great addition as they could be used for stowage.

Actually, if you look at the pictures on their website, the kit does come with a PE fret tant includes, among other things, the safety rings.

I have been asked to point out that the rings are included.

These look really nice; six boxes full should give you more than enough for most any project. Thanks for posting this Tat and for the clarification Darren!

Cheers,
Rick

That's good. Otherwise I would suggest these rigging rings from North Star: https://northstarmodels.com/product/rigging-loop-0-3-mm/

I'm thrilled to see this, especially in crated form, and appreciate the PE details that are completely lacking most elsewhere. Never did come across a Gen 3 set that included it.
