Scammell Pioneer SV2S (36358 for IBG)

1:35 Eduard

IBG made a lot of people very happy when they began releasing a range of Scammel heavy haulers, making the old resin options look difficult and overpriced in one fell swoop.  The first boxing was the SV2S recovery vehicle, has been out for a while now, and it has proved popular and this set probably will be too.  As usual with Eduard's Photo-Etch (PE) and Mask sets, they arrive in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between.

Inside is a single large fret of PE and a small sheet of printed acetate, which is used to provide dials on the instrument panel in the cab.  There are a lot of brackets and small additions across the vehicles, with a set of brackets for a tank on the chassis; details for the winch gearbox; more detailed crew steps, brackets and filler cap details on the fuel tank; a new wire side to the open stowage bin with integral ribbing for the floor of the bin, which requires the front wire to be cut off the kit PE part, plus chain and latch for the wire front panel to the same bin, front and back; new mudguards and centre-rear panel in the bodyshell with a multitude of hinges, chains & clasps  on the wooden storage on both sides of the body; Fire extinguisher cradle, tool racks, weapon racks and additional fixtures in the crew cab; Additional parts and exhaust details in the firewall area; instrument binnacle and detailed foot pedals for the driver's station; new side panels to the engine cowling, and ceiling mounted mesh stowage racks in the roof of the cab.  A good all-round set that pulls the detail up a notch from stock.
