Here we get a look at the British Tank Repair crew released by MiniArt in 1/35th scale. I suspect better for post WW2 use as tanks usually never lasted long enough to need work done on them.

Review

This release is packaged in an end opening card carton which I am not a fan of as regards protecting the contents. Inside are four figures on separate sprues. The mouldings are clean and free of any major issues but I have found one of the cap badges on the berets does line up fully. The four figures are all in typical coveralls that should be Khaki, a colour not well replicated on the box art. 

The figures are in typical and realistic poses for performing tasks on a vehicle. Two of the figures are engaged in cleaning the barrel of a tank or such equipped vehicles, but MiniArt has not provided the screw together rods for that task. One is on its back tackling a job under or low down on a vehicle. the last figure is knelt down and could be shown working on the wheels or such.

I have to confess to liking the poses of these figures and appreciate them being made available. However I am also disappointed that there are only four figures, the cap badges really need to be replaced (photo etched offerings would be nice here). I also feel another figure perhaps swinging a sledge hammer to tackle a track pin issue. Some extra tools would also have been nice.
