Assembled model 1/35 tank M31 US Tank Recovery Vehicle Takom 2088 As you'd expect, Takom's M31, like the original, is based on the M3 Lee. The kit includes a total of 11 gray styrofoam sprues, the tower and tub, a very small sprue for the clear parts of the headlights, a small decal sheet, metal wire and of course a decal sheet. Fortunately, the kit also includes a small sheet of photoetch details. In particular, the engine deck ventilation grill would benefit from this type of implementation. Takom includes real copper metal cable for the faucet. Unfortunately, the rope is twisted or deformed in some places. However, by stretching the rope with a kettlebell, you can cope with these disadvantages. The decal sheet is quite large and printed with sharp edges. The assembly instructions are in typical Takom style and really leave no questions unanswered. Takom changed the format of the instructions for the M3 series sets, that is, the sheets became smaller. However, this does not interfere with the actual assembly instructions. All in all, this set answers the prayers of many armor fans in the US, and with only 500 pieces, it will appeal to modelers who don't want the tedious work of building it.
