I am tempted to build another "tuna boat," but would like to do one with Enhanced Applique Armor Kit (EAAK). I'm looking at the 82414 and 82416 and don't know much about what sets them apart.
I DO know that Voyager has an upgrade set for the 414 (and you don't need a bunch of other ones, LOL). Would it fit the 416?
And just what IS the difference in the two model kits? TIA

82414 is the standard 7A1, whereas 82416 is the 7A1 upgraded to RAM/RS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Rebuilt to Standard). These vehicles can be distinguished by the improved suspension similar to that of an M2A2, the newer 'bigfoot' tracks and a different exhaust configuration among other modifications.
Both the RAM/RS and non RAM/RS vehicles where used during OIF. And I see no reason why the Voyager set wouldn't fit both

I believe the fastest way to tell is the spacing between the middle road wheels. Someone could correct me if I’m wrong
