Preview: MiniArt's Second Set of Tools in 1/35th Scale

Tool Set #2
From MiniArt Models
1/35th scale
Kit No #35671
The kit is plastic injection moulded, with photo-etch, decals & printed posters
MiniArt has been adding to their 1/35th scale accessory kits, giving us more than we will ever need in an easy-to-assemble plastic format.

The earlier released kit & this new set from Miniart.

What's inside?
The kit consists of five sprues of plastic, a small photo-etch sheet, decals and some decals to label some of your containers.

The sprues:
We will look at the tools on each of the small plastic sprues one by one. Two shovels, a sledgehammer, a smaller heavy hammer, a pick and a jimmy bar are included here on this sprue.
This one has smaller tools, definitely suited to the mid-last century or newer. A ring & socket wrench, a vice, a spray gun, a small and larger pointed sledge, three different smaller hammers, a G-clamp, a winding drill, a wooden plane and the old favourite of Wile E. Coyote—the anvil—are included here. 
More hand tools here, with a shovel, a pickm an axe, a matic, and a winding tool—not sure of the name. 😕
Two tool trays, a vice, a hand-winding pump, and a spacing tool are all included on this one.
A grease gun and oil pump and a winding pump are included here.
A small sheet of photo-etch gives us the thinner tools that cannot be made or removed in plastic, like a large wood saw, spanners of several types and a pair of metal toolboxes.⁣
Decals are provided for the gauges on the oil and pressure pump, stencils and a Lincoln-branded decal for the grease gun.
That is all for this kit—it should be out next month...
