Hello, and welcome to the site. I know that Accurate Armour has a few after market sets fir the Warrior. They have several different eras and conversions for the Warriors. Eduard Photoetch also has two sets available. One is just the overall photoetch set for the tank and the other is IFF/CIF Id panels for Iraq.

Here is the Accurate Armour website (they are based out of the UK by the way)

And here is Eduard's

In addition to the above Airwaves makes a set that I have and its not too expensive as well as Fruil tracks or the AA traxpak (I personally don't like them)

The kit's tracks are al ittle hard to get down on the return rollers. Overall its not a terrible kit. The newer OIF 2003 kit has an addtional sprue that has the CIPs new front armor and some extras on it.

I purchased the AA set that has the 3 in 1 option of Mstar Bat. command, ICV, or command versions. The AA pcs are nice replacement

Be warned the turret basket can be a little tricky. The mesh is tricky to glue down.

Hi Gary
As has been said the aa sets are good (you can even get it an interiot if you want, or make it bang up to date with their bar armour set, although if you are new to teh hobby it is not such a good idea as it is a little tricky!) if you want am decals check out bisons range (they are bringing a new bar armour set out soon as well) Bison decals

I'm sure they are based in Scotland?

Good Luck with it. Nick
