Voyager Model often has to run the gauntlet of flack over its release pictures showing several of their products being used but not indicating what each set contains. With this release from Voyager Model that complaint cannot be levelled against them as what you see is what you get.
As can be seen by the pictures included here this is a collection of their products all brought together to form a lot of nice photo etched parts and cream coloured resin parts. I have no idea just how many parts are included in this package but I would suggest that if you are not at home with using photo etched parts this set could push you over the edge. That said as indicated by the pictures here this is capable of making a model stand out.

I agree, it's nice to see Voyager putting everything in one set. Sometimes the additional sets are out of stock, so it's a headache trying to find them all.

Ive only built a few armor kits, would something like this be out of my league? It looks so cool.

You might want to try a few smaller PE and resin upgrade sets first to get a feel for working with them. This, as are most Voyager full sets, is very involved and complicated.

Actually, if you've worked with PE already, I think you would be able to tackle this as well. When I read "Voyager... TUSK II... PE" and clicked on the news article, I was afraid I'd see the ARATs (Abrams Reactive Armor Tiles) to be reproduced in PE, so that each tile had to be bend to shape etc.... Luckily, they chose resin - very wise decision. The PE parts don't look too difficult/small to bend. But you could also choose the Legend TUSK II update kit. There're more resin parts in it which were reproduced by Voyager in PE. I guess the price will be equal if not even cheaper than Voyager, in the end. When I looked on the pictures, I was also wondering "omg, how many different sets will this be?!" - then I spotted the "PRO35005" in right bottom corner at the very last pic Thanks for the great news! Edit: Of course Gino is right, Voyager sets usually do have a whole lot of small, fidly parts, even in the more basic sets. But with some patience and a little experience in PE this shouldn't be a problem. Also, one can always leave out some of the craziest PE parts. Sometimes it's not even worth the effort, because the plastic part looks better or the PE is just no improvement over it.

@ Canjuaan, in this set ARAT is made of PE, but ARAT II is made of resin

Dragon - what about any update off your M1A2 set to this version in Plastic.. Cookie
DEC 07, 2011 - 10:00 PM
Of course you're right! Sorry for that. @ Paul: Dito. Think of the possibilities DML have with their M1 kits. Too bad... By the way. What about availability of #3535 and #3536 in your respective countries? It's hard to get a #3535 (AIM) in Germany. The SEP is completely gone from the local market, it seems. Cheers
