Presenting the professional upgrade set Voyager Model PE35217 designed specifically for the IDF Shot Centurion MK 5/1 model by AFV Club (no. 35159), in the popular 1/35 scale. This set is a precise and highly detailed modification that will take your model to a whole new level of realism and detail fidelity.

High-Quality Photo-Etched Parts
