introduction

There's always some manufacturer that does those little things that can make a difference when building a diorama or just an isolated model, and this is the reason behind this review. Not long ago I saw a Stug III G built by one of the members of Armorama that had a wicker basket on the back of the tank. That little detail added so much to the build of the tank that I was amazed with the result. Coupled with spare shells, a beautiful paint job and the usual high quality of the builds from that modeler, made it stand out from the ordinary.

I knew I had seen that basket somewhere... but where?? I'm like a ferret on the field when trying to find something on the net. And I found that basket and a couple of things more on Plus Model site.

content

It's a set of suitcases that consists of 12 (6 different, 2 of each) suitcases. From the big wicker basket to normal leather (?) suitcases. There are 4 sizes of wicker baskets and suitcases and 2 sizes of regular suitcases (corner metal reinforcements and all). Plus Model even includes a little set of decals with the stickers that hotels used to glue on luggage many moons ago. The quality of the molding is awesome and you can see every little detail especially the weave of the baskets.

conclusion

I know that if I put one of these on the back of my Stug (or any other model for that matter) everyone will know that I'm just copying an original idea from another builder. No problem with that. I prefer to copy the good examples and I had to share this nice set with everyone who is thinking where they can find one. I'll spare you the trouble of 2 days trying to find it :D . Although the price is a little high for a product with marginal use, it's a very nice addition to any scene. It just adds to the realism.
