Authentic small scale maintenance vignette

The Tamiya 35180 1/35 German Tank Engine Maintenance Crew offers modellers a focused scene showing workshop servicing of a Maybach HL 230 engine. Its combination of figure work and accessories helps deliver a lifelike repair tableau.

Natural poses and crisp sculpting

The two figures are sculpted to convey practical maintenance actions, with clothing folds and facial detail that assist painting work. One figure bends over the engine while the other works close to the ground, creating a natural composition.

Workshop accessories for realism

Included is a faithful Maybach HL 230 engine plus a varied set of workshop items: toolbox, metal drum, ladder, battery, blow torch, wrench, screwdriver, oil can, oiler, hammer and tool kit. These pieces make it easy to add narrative depth.
