What Griffon has done with this set is to give you set L35029 and then has added more to it to provide you with the side skirts, radio antenna and base and what appears to be a storage box that goes in the place where the radio mast would be if you decide not to do the command vehicle. or the place where the radios were kept. Here are the basics:

- Photoetched Frets x 9 (shown above)
- Brass Preformed Storage Tube x 1
- Resin StAtd 1.8m Antenna Base x 1
- Auxiliary Material: Styrene Rod, Brass Wire
- Suitable for Dragon kit #6393
- Command Version Convertible
- Resin Antenna Base + Photoetched Stern Antenna
- Full Set of Schurzen (Front Fenders Included) 
- Rear Storage Bins Included
- Provide 2 Option of Attachment
- True-to-Scale Thickness Sheet Metal Covers for Exhaust Pipes
- 2 Option of Battle Field Modification of External Tools Arrangement
- Steel Cover for Nahverteidigungswaffe
- True-to-Scale Thickness Crescent-Shaped Sight Sliding Cover
- Full Set of Wire Mesh for Cooling Fans & Air Intakes
- Foliage Camouflage Attachment Holders Added
- Photoetched Zimmerit Coating Applicator

The instructions are quite complete, taking up nine full sheets 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.
