Voyager Model PE35580 Modern Pick UP w/ZU-23-2 FOR MENG VS-004 1/35 – upgrade set with photo-etched elements

The Voyager Model PE35580 set was specially designed to upgrade the plastic model Modern Pick UP with the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun (Meng VS-004) in 1/35 scale. This is a professional add-on intended for modelers who value the highest level of detail, historical accuracy, and realism in replicating modern military technology.

• Intended for: Modern Pick UP with mounted ZU-23-2 gun
• Scale: 1/35
• Manufacturer: Voyager Model
• Category: upgrade set with photo-etched elements for plastic models
• Material: photo-etched metal sheet, chemically cut

The vehicle model for which this set is dedicated is based on contemporary civilian pick-ups commonly used by various military and irregular formations in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Armed pickups of this type are known as "technicals" and were widely used by militants during the wars in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen in the 21st century (modern times). The ZU-23-2 gun itself is a Soviet twin-barrel 23 mm anti-aircraft cannon used since the 1960s by Eastern Bloc countries and developing nations.

The PE35580 set allows you to maximize the realism of the model by replacing crucial details: it includes air intake meshes, covers, handles, ammunition racks, and other details that cannot be precisely rendered in plastic. The metal parts are ultra-thin and flexible, allowing for perfect adaptation to the contours of the vehicle and ZU-23-2 components, resulting in an exceptionally realistic final effect.

Recommendation: We recommend this set to intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to raise the realism of their MENG VS-004 model to the highest standards of scale modeling. Due to the need for precise assembly of photo-etched parts, we suggest a difficulty level of 4/5. It is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of modern military technology and dioramas depicting 21st-century asymmetric conflicts.
