What ever you think about Voyager you cannot accuse them of being slow when it comes to new photo etched sets for new model releases. In this multi part news story Voyager has released 2 new products for the recently released AFV Club US LVT-4 Water Buffalo Landing Vehicle Tracked in 1/35th scale. One of these products is something I never thought I would see for a 1/35th scale model vehicles, let’s take a look at what is on offer.

Thanks!

Photoetch tracks you couldn't pay me enough to put a set of them together LOL!

The 50 cal. barrels look amazing, it's almost sinful to paint over them.


cheers

I think hell is full of photoetched tracks waiting for assembly

Don't worry Rick, I won't. It's your hobby, remember?
OT: great sets, thanks Darren.

If you look closely at the photo for the track set, note that the assembled "run" of tracks shown by the fret is eight links - in other words, the product of a single fret. Also that the pictured LVT-4 still has the vinyl tracks fitted. In other words, even Voyager weren't up to assembling a full set - they probably had to drag the guy who put together that single fret (how many dozen tiny PE bolts to make up eight links?) off for a stay in a rubber room somewhere, where he still wakes screaming at nights, "The tracks, the nightmarish tracks, keep them away from me!"

Note that these aren't the first 1/35th PE tracks on the market - Aber did a set for the BT-5 that, while no sane person would build them, look trivial compared to these.
