Voyager Model PEA100 Slat Armor for Stryker M1126 (For AFV 35126) 1/35 – Photo-Etched Upgrade Set

Voyager Model PEA100 is a high-quality photo-etched upgrade set designed for the Stryker M1126 model in 1/35 scale, dedicated to modelers working with the AFV Club 35126 kit. This set allows for a faithful recreation of the "slat armor" add-on armor system used by modern American forces during missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The photo-etched parts are intended to accurately reproduce the details of the armored grilles, which were designed to increase the vehicle's resistance to anti-tank munitions such as RPGs.

The original Stryker M1126 vehicles with slat armor appeared in the U.S. Armed Forces at the beginning of the 21st century. This design was a response to the threat from light anti-tank weapons during combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Slat armor provided an economical and effective solution that absorbed the energy of projectiles, minimizing penetration of the main vehicle armor and increasing crew survivability in combat zones.

The Voyager Model PEA100 set consists of precisely made photo-etched elements from thin brass sheet. This solution allows you to achieve the effect of thin, realistic grilles that would be impossible to recreate with plastic. The set includes detailed assembly instructions, which will help even less experienced modelers to successfully build the entire system.

Difficulty rating: 4/5 – due to very small parts and the need for precise bending and gluing.

We especially recommend this set for advanced modelers and enthusiasts of modern military vehicles who want to take their Stryker model to a higher level of realism and detail. Voyager Model PEA100 is a professional upgrade tool that is perfect for use in dioramas as well as for personal collectible projects.
