Middle Eastern Refueling Station

¹⁄35

The second part of announcements from MENG covers their new diorama accessory set in 1/35 scale.

SPS-041 - Middle Eastern Refueling Equipment

It’s very common to see people refueling their vehicles. The gas station can be a great background for dioramas in which people are chatting during refueling or in which people are struggling to occupy it. However, it’s rare to see products of this subject.

Now MENG releases the SPS-041 Middle Eastern Refueling Equipment kit which is based on the gas stations in hot spots. The kit includes two different kinds of fuel dispensers, one with two fuel nozzles and one with one fuel nozzle. This kit also includes three fuel nozzles and a concrete base. This kit is made of resin for better details.

I'd want to see more of what's in the box before I bought this set. The single photo shows a fuel hose on the taller pump, but none on the other(?!)

Finally! A set like this will be great for modern dioramas! I suspect that what is shown is just preliminary drawing and the completed box art will show all the details and markings for the pumps.

I guess it's the final look of the box. This is how it was with their previous Middle Eastern set:

The look was the same from the first announcement to the product on the shelves. But all details of elements from SPS-036 are visible at the boxart, and talking about SPS-041 I agree with Jack - the shorter pump looks like not complete

"The kit includes two different kinds of fuel dispensers, one with two fuel nozzles and one with one fuel nozzle. This kit also includes three fuel nozzles and a concrete base." Not a native English speaker but is nozzle what you guys are talking about when saying the set does not look complete? Mario

Even a preliminary drawing should show the detail of what's in the box, especially if the description of the kit says there are three fuel dispensers(nozzles). To Maki; the photo shows the taller pump (on the left) with a fuel hose & nozzle attached. The smaller pump on the right does not show any hose or nozzles. I'm guessing the smaller pump will have a hose/nozzle attachment on either side.

Still waiting and looking for an actual review and PHOTOS of what this kit is like since reading about it earlier this year....and nothing's been posted via my Google search. Has anyone bought it?
