Voyager Model PEA170 Modern Russian Army T-62 Medium Tank Slat Armour (Pattern 1) (For TRUMPETER) 1/35

Voyager Model PEA170 Modern Russian Army T-62 Medium Tank Slat Armour (Pattern 1) is a precisely crafted upgrade set dedicated to 1/35 scale T-62 medium tank kits from Trumpeter. This set has been developed by the renowned model accessories manufacturer Voyager Model, known for its high quality and attention to detail.

The PEA170 set enables a detailed upgrade of the base model with a modern type of slat armour anti-HEAT protection, as used by Russian armed forces during conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries. This type of armour, also called "cage armour," protects the vehicle against rocket projectiles and anti-tank grenade launchers with shaped charge warheads. Slat armour has been widely used, among others, by Russian units during interventions in the Caucasus and the war in Syria in the latter years of the Cold War as well as in modern times.

The product presented is a photo-etched set, manufactured with top precision from thin brass sheet. It enables realistic reproduction of slat shield elements – from construction details to the distinctive layout and geometry used in Russian T-62 upgrades. The set includes all the necessary parts to create a complete mesh armour – these are designed specifically for the Trumpeter kit, ensuring perfect fit on the hull and turret.
