Voyager Model PEA146 WWII German Sd.Kfz.222 & Sd.Kfz.250/9 Alte Turret Anti-grenade Mesh Type.2 (For TAMIYA 35270/35115) 1/35

Voyager Model PEA146 is a high-quality upgrade set designed for WWII armored vehicle models: the German Sd.Kfz.222 armored car and the Sd.Kfz.250/9 half-track with the “Alte Turret” type turret. The set has been created specifically for Tamiya models with catalogue numbers 35270 and 35115 in the popular 1/35 scale, which ensures precise fitment of components and easy assembly, even for advanced vehicle customization.

The main feature of the Voyager Model PEA146 set are photo-etched anti-grenade mesh screens (Type.2 pattern), which replicate the distinctive shields used on the turrets of both combat vehicles. These were employed by the German army on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, where the vehicles often operated in areas with increased threats from grenades and Molotov cocktails. Mesh screens protected the tanks and crews during urban warfare and in densely wooded areas, where enemy infantry frequently tried to disable vehicles with handheld weapons. This solution was used from 1939 to 1945 on vehicles from the WWII period.

The set includes precisely crafted, thin brass parts that allow for a realistic recreation of the original, openwork anti-grenade mesh with sharp detailing, as well as all necessary assembly components. The components are very thin, durable, and malleable, allowing the modeler to easily fit them to the body and turret of the vehicle. The set does not include the plastic base model – it is an add-on for Tamiya kits.

Product category: photo-etched upgrade set. This product is recommended for advanced modelers and military history enthusiasts who wish to build a display piece with a high level of realism and detailing. It can be a real centerpiece in a diorama or competition showcase. Assembly difficulty level: 4/5 – requires precision and experience with metal components.
