Seems very interesting.




The only disadvantages I see is that you need to raise the 'panellines' (don't know the correct word) on the stowage boxes. My advice, don't try it - It wont look right and you'll probably screw up the etch..

Do not use the handles, they just look flat and as a PE offering. Other than that I think the fenders are very useful. Looks very promising!

Your thoughts?

It sure didn't take them long, did it? I'll purchase a set for mine simply because I like Voyager's stuff. The raised portion on the boxes should not pose a problem. Normally the lines (or other shapes) are etched into the part on the back side. All you have to do is tiurn the part over, place it on a piece of hard rubber or similar surface and run a stylus over it. The end of a wooden paintbrush or even a ballpoint pen work great.
I'm going to have to go to Ebay now and find one...

Are you annealing it first? I've never run into that problem.

I expected some nice modelling here.. but it seems to be some sort of... bare lol.
Well, Just buy the voyager PE sets. They are great and it is already told, just use a ballpoint for the raised panellines and eventually you can use a ruler to accomplish a straight line.

Also, if you want a cheap but a good quality barrel, just send me an PM..
