You can never have enough Israeli accessories. The IDF set looks very good. I'll probably end up getting one. The spare helmets are nice - no more having to cut the heads out of old Tamiya Merkava figures - but I'd also like to see one with the ear flaps folded out. The ones in the set are good for helmets hanging on something, but not lying flat. I like the body armor as well. Here's a suggestion for future sets- body armor draped over/around a Tal hatch. I've seen quite a few photos of this, but am not talented enough to make it look convincing.

hmmm... onbe more suggestion. Even folded stretchers have FOUR handles instead of the TWO shown here. When will they ever learn?

Surprised they did a stowage set for the LVT-A4 .... why not one for the LVT-4, as its a more recent development. Maybe AFV Club have one coming soon?

I agree with Rob. Each new stowage set...the company should strive to produce pieces separate and different than the competitors' kits. The vests and backpacks and different and sets this kit apart from others. I mean personal gear are perhaps one of the defining items when it comes to stowage. Nice set!
