Review by Steve Bamford on June 2 2009

 

This latest release from Hippo Models is a 1/72 WW1 German refueling cart.  This is basically a barrel laying on it's side on a cart with a rolled up hose reel and other fine details to complete the cart.  This is during the WW1 era, so the cart has wooden spoke wheels.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  

You will need to free the parts from the casting blocks, but thankfully the connection points are reasonably thin, so some carefully scoring along the connection points with a sharp X-Acto blade will do the job quickly.  Little diorama items such as this refueling cart really add to the scene when building the delicate aircraft that fought in the skies over the mud of the trenches during the Great War.

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from Hippo Models

I would like to thank Hippo Models for providing me with this review sample.
