Designed for Dragon kit 6469, Flakpanzer 38(t) 'Gepard', this is the ultimate set to super detail this superb kit. Griffon Model has included a multiple number of photo etch frets along with aluminum and resin parts to ensure that no detail is left undone. A listing (taken from the back of the pack) shows what is included.

1) 2cm Flak38 Metal Barrel
2) Late Version Flak38 Convertible: Late Version Seat; Resin Parts for Late Version Embossed Hand Wheels; Resin Parts for Late Version Embossed Elevation System Cover; Late Version Instrument Pane
3) Full Set of Upper Folding Armor Plates for Fighting Compartment
4) Folding Engine Compartment Doors
5) Full Set of Track Fenders
6) Solid Drive Sprockets Convertible
7) Interior Detail of Driver’s Hatches
8) Interior Detail of Driver’s Compartment: The Full Detail of the Driver’s Seat; Steering Lever; Foot Pedals; Dashboard
9) Flak38 Magazines × 2 & Ammo Boxes x 6"

The instructions are quite complete, taking up seven full sheet of placement diagrams. These show you every step of assembling this most complete upgrade set. While at first it seems as if the instructions are redundant, they actually provide the build in layers to be sure that you are able to get everything in its proper place.

Those who have used Griffon Model sets know how nice they are and this one is no different. The set is superbly etched and will add a lot to your particular build.
