Introduction

Like many I was delighted to see Tamiya release its Austin 10hp Light Utility vehicle, or Tilly to you and me, in 1/35 scale. (Kit No 35308)

This is a look at a PE update set recently released from the Hauler Model Accessories range, to add a bit more detail to the kit. It is the first update set I've seen for the Tilly, so far!

The Set

this is a simple 1 fret set containing replacement window screens, indicator, side and tool fixings, mirror, bridge plate, AOS/Divisional Sign plate together with a replacement radiator grill.

There is a small paper sheet of instructions, detailing where the parts go, some PE chain is included for the dropped tail guard if you wish to use it, and you get a nice set of PE wipers and an Austin badge for the front.

A replacement inside mirror is also provided and you get a window foil to go with the windows.

Many of the parts are quite tiny, but then so is the Tilly.

Conclusion

A handy, but not in expensive, update set. Personally I thought it was over priced, but it will add some nice additional details to your vehicle if that is a route you choose to go.

I haven't used Hauler kits before, but these PE parts look good. This is not an essential item but should add some good additional details to you vehicle.
