Voyager Model PE35434 WWII US 105mm Howitzer M2A1 For AFV CLUB 35182 1/35 – Photo-etched Detail Upgrade Set

The Voyager Model PE35434 upgrade set is a specialist enhancement dedicated to the model of the WWII US 105mm Howitzer M2A1 by AFV CLUB (kit no: 35182) in the popular 1/35 scale. This product belongs to the category of photo-etched (PE) parts for plastic models, which are perfect for increasing the level of detail in military vehicles and artillery models from World War II.

The original M2A1 howitzer (also known as M101) was one of the primary field artillery guns used by the United States and Allied countries from 1941. It was widely deployed in battles on all fronts of World War II, including the Normandy campaign, in Italy, and also in the Pacific. Its solid construction and reliability ensured its use for many years after the war, including during the Korean War and by foreign armies—such as those of Canada and the United Kingdom.

The Voyager Model PE35434 set itself is made of the highest quality metal, cut and formed using the photo-etching process. The precise, thin metal sheets include, among others, details such as:

• realistic fittings, clamps, and equipment fasteners
• sight and optics details for the howitzer
• parts for gun operating mechanisms
• finely crafted mesh screens and ventilation grilles
• accurate representations of frames, handles, and interior elements

Thanks to this set, even the most discerning modeler can recreate the original look of the 105 mm howitzer down to the finest detail, achieving a result difficult to accomplish using only plastic parts. The product is designed for intermediate and advanced modelers—difficulty rating 4/5—due to the need for precise cutting, bending, and assembly of very thin photo-etched parts.

We recommend Voyager Model PE35434 to all enthusiasts of military vehicle modeling from the World War II era who wish to enhance the realism and appeal of their collections. It is an essential addition for anyone striving for perfection in details and for those reconstructing historical artillery pieces.
