Hi All,
Does anyone know of a vendor that produces a good set of tools. What I mean is the shovel, axe, sledge hammer, and pry bars, attached to the outside of late war German tanks.
A nice resin set would be great. I'm tired of trying to scrape off the molded on clamps.
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance. :-)

Italeri made years ago a set tools
I believe it`s called: Field tool shop or something like that
In this kit wich is very cheap you will find some tools that will very good be possible to put on late war tanks. Another thing is that they don`t have this molded on clamps

hope it is of some help

Tamiya makes a set for the MK IV, but it will work on any German AFV. Ask your hobby shop for the MkIV Tool Set. Then have at it...

Hi Tek2 ...... Grifter is right. And I really think you'd be better off finding a good RESIN AM accessory set. Their much better molded & detailed then plastic. Verlinden use to make a German Pioneer Tool Set, but I only see the one for the U.S. on there website. I don't know if they discontinued it or not, but some online scale model distributor probably has some in stock and also there are other manufacture that must make them, possibly ROYAL MODELS or others.............. I already checked Great Models Webstore and came up with nothing for Verlinden. IF I SHOULD FIND ANY I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

ABER do tools in 1/35 for german AFV's, you may have to search for them in a set. Ie, the FAMO set has loads of tools. Hope this helps

Thanks for all the responses to my question.
I have been checking all the armor accessories items from online shops like, Home-town Hobbys, Roll Models, Squadron,etc. for a while now but have not had much success. I know someone must make them! Also its very hard to know what some of these products are from the vague descriptions given.
Well I'll keep looking. and would appreciate any help!!
