Tristar's German Panzer Grenadiers Set Vol. 1 continues to push the standard of detail possible on injection-moulded 1/35 scale.

76 pieces in grey styrene are attached to three sprues. One sprue contains all four figures and their individual equipment. The other two (smaller) sprues are generic; with weapons, helmets and equipment.

The parts are beautifully presented in grey styrene. There were no noticeable moulding flaws, and the inevitable seams lines are minimal.

Facial detail and fabric drape is up to the same high standard as Tristar's two earlier releases. The greatcoat on one of the figures is generously undercut inside the two halves of the figure.

Images of the assembled and painted figures on the box are a good representation of how the figures really look. Check out the detail on this seated Grenadier.

The weapons display a remarkable level of detail for injection-moulded 1/35 scale plastic:

The images below are of the painted figures that appear on the rear of the box.

Thanks to C.K. Pat from Tristar and to Trevor from Modelmania for the review sample and images
