The set looks nice. I like that the model looks to be built and primered before application of the photo etch. It puts the focus on the etched parts. Photos 2, 3 and 4 are very redundant. They are slightly different angles showing the same thing over and over. The set brings nice scale like appearance to the areas improved. The headlight guards are especially well done.

I highly doubt it. Maybe, maybe the first to release an update set for the Tamiya AMX-13/75 but hardly the first detail company.

Funny, we are all going off-topic on Ulises' useless comments again. So I join in, too. Eduard certainly wasn't the first in the AM business. I think Verlinden probably was - has been around since the 1970's. Eduard might have revolutionized the PE market with plethora of offerings (arguably, Aber did, too) but certainly not the first in the arena.

First, it's a shame that Tamiya do not provide the various rectangular grilles.
This set is welcome to improve the good Tamiya kit. Beware that the lock for the travel lock legs is upside down. The way it is depicted on the pics show the very early version when no mudguard were fitted. This also means that you must delete the 4 attachment points of the mudguard if you intend to put the lock ala Eduard.
But you'll also have to lengthen the legs and modifiy a number of other details all around the tank.
