Set Contents

• Precisely made photo-etched parts faithfully reproduce small details of the armor, handles, or ventilation meshes, which are difficult to achieve with standard injection molding technology.

• Parts produced by 3D printing are detailed and durable components that can replace or complement elements insufficiently represented in the base kit’s plastic sprues.
• Pictorial instruction that guides you step by step through the assembly of the additional parts.
