I see on the Eduard site that there is a M113 Zoom set that has the mesh grilles, periscope covers and the front shovel mount.

I could order directly from Eduard I'd rather order it from one of the usual online retailers but haven't seen it listed anywhere. Anybody else spot this set?

Thanks,
Paul

I've got a set, TP 015. The price tag is $5.99 from CRM Hobbies. Valuable little set.

Hmm, it's $5.95 from Eduard. I guess it depends on the shipping cost. Nice to have the grills in a cheap set like this. Link to Eduard instruction sheet.

The whole line of Zoom sets look pretty useful.

I really like the Zoom sets. Its gives me that little bit of extra detail but isn't so much that I get frustrated.

Fits my budget too.

Doh. I should have used 'M-113' to search as well as 'M113'. I see it's on Squadron's website and Great Models as well.

Thanks for the input Jeff.

What is the difference in Eduard's Zoom sets and their regular sets?

The regular set includes pieces to detail the whole vehicle, the Zoom sets generally stick to grills and guards (headlight guards or periscope guards).
