I know this has probably been discussed before but I couldn't really find anything with search (not a good searcher anyway). Voyager and Eduard both make PE sets for the Dragon M1A2..is one of these kits better or more extensive than the other?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, the Eduard BigEd set contains the slat armour for the exhaust and wheel masks for painting but besides that the volume of parts in both kits seems to be pretty much the same. Grills, ammo brackets, mesh floor for bustle rack... in other word: unnescessary parts because they're already included in the DML kits.

Parts like the CIPs, a lot of handles or some discharger brackets are included in the Eduard set as well as in the Voyager set. Voyager set also comes with nice looking jerry cans and and smoke discharger storage boxes.

What i really like on the Voyager set are the exhaust air and intake grills. They are just awesome and make it pretty easy do deformate them for a more realistic look:






I personally prefer the Voyager kit but that doesn't mean that this set is better. It is also a matter of the price which set you'll choose. At least Voyager is cheaper.
