Introduction
Plusmodel from Czech Republic is a well-known manufacturer of resin accessories in 1/35 scale. These are usually characterized by good quality and originality of subjects. The subject of this review is dedicated to medical items used by German Army during WW2.
Contents
The set comes in standard small cardboard box with image of painted items on the top. The parts are sealed in plastic bag which is put into bubble bag. Also included are the decal sheet and small photo-etched fret packed together in another plastic bag. The instruction are printed on A3 sized paper. Here the assembly sequence is presented as exploding view drawings with parts and decals numbers. However, no paint directions are given.
Review
The resin parts are located on small carrier blocks and should be easy to clean up. The quality is excellent and I had no bubbles or other casting defects in my set. In total there are 4 large carts, stretchers and various medicines and binding material. Two of the carts have oxygen tanks, masks, valves and other equipment required for operations, while 2 others have numerous sections to be filled with medicaments and binding stuff. Smaller sections are given as separate parts and can be easily taken out or placed somewhere around the boxes if desired.
Medicine and binding material are located on 4 casting blocks and there are many more then 36 parts as stated on the cover of the package. All these have decals showing the variety of labels, however, no painting guide is provided for these so you have to either use the box art or google desired equipment. Most of the items would be white or beige in color anyway, but it is better to be sure when working on a diorama to have correct period setting. The labels on the decals look pretty good, although not all of them are distinguishable.
The stretcher comes as single resin part with 4 PE supports that should be bent and glued to the bottom surface. The location points for supports are clearly visible and assembly should not be a problem. The only critique here would be that the surface of stretcher is absolutely smooth while real items had canvas-like texture. This should be modified by modeler in order to get proper appearance. Also it is very thick for real item.
Conclusions
Overall, this is a very useful set that would be a perfect addition to recent Dragon’s Maultier ambulance or any other Medical vehicle or diorama setting with wounded. Individual items can be of course used with any kind of vehicle as all of them had small medial cases.
