Well, Eduard has a photoetch set as a start. Tamiya also has an accessory pack with a blade for the back.

Aber supposedly makes a great update.
Check out this site, it includes pictures of the PE sets.

Aber's two sets are for the anally retentive. they will keep you buey for a long time. one does the top and front, the other does the back and underneath. i have both, it is mind-boggling what the folks at Aber put on those frets. Good Luck and have fun.

In addition to the two sets for the half-track that have already been mentioned, there are two sets out for the tank trailer also. I have purchase all 4 PE sets and they are very comprehensive.

PAK 40 is right, the items they include are mind boggeling. I sit and ponder how I will possibly use it all. They show you diagrams for hydraulic lines and everything. It would probably take me a year to do the kit if I use everything in all 4 sets.

I don't know anyone using 100% of the Aber set, do you SgtSauer, if you do I need to buy you a drink...

I have already decided to only use the "important" pieces. I would be locked up and put in a padded room.

That's about right, I now can use about 80% of the Aber sheet, and I already wake up sometimes at night and had cold sweats....

PART from Poland also makes a nice set for the FAMO that is more along the lines of the Eduard set.

ROYAL MODEL does a very nice set which includes PE and resin parts.
