The Voyager Model PE35259 detail-up set is designed for the 1/35 scale Heuschrecke IVb "Grasshopper" model, dedicated to the Trumpeter 00373 vehicle replica. This exceptional accessory set has been developed for modelers wishing to elevate their model to a higher level of realism and scale accuracy. Voyager Model is a renowned manufacturer of modeling accessories, known for precision craftsmanship and innovative solutions tailored to demanding hobbyists.

The Heuschrecke IVb was a German self-propelled artillery gun developed during World War II. Prototypes of this extraordinary vehicle were constructed in Germany towards the end of the conflict (years 1943-1945); however, it was never put into mass production nor saw any combat action. The Grasshopper's design was characterized by an innovative chassis and a unique, removable turret with a 105 mm howitzer, which, when dismounted, could be used as an artillery position outside the vehicle. The Germans tested the Heuschrecke IVb as part of their mobile artillery development program, but ultimately chose alternative solutions.

The Voyager Model PE35259 set is made from high-quality photo-etched metal, guaranteeing sharp details, thin metal sheets, and a degree of precision unattainable with traditional plastic. The kit includes parts that enhance the detail of both the vehicle’s interior and exterior, including handles, locks, armor elements, as well as small accessories to assemble according to the instructions. Photo-etched sheets allow for an authentic effect of thin shields or ventilation grilles true to the historical original. The product does not include the base model.
