Voyager Model 1/700 PE Update set
for Dragon Models Bismarck

Voyager Models a company that is well known for their Armor Photo etch accessories has branched out into the Naval Modeling world with this set custom designed for the new Dragon Bismarck kit. This photo etch set is custom designed to fit that kit. If you have the Trumpeter/Pit-Road kit you need to use the Voyager #70001 set. The set comes nicely packed with instructions in a small compact card stock container. There are five relief etched frets in total and a small section of plastic rod.

The first fret is mostly the rails and ladders. The rails are custom tailored to the kit and numbered to match the instruction sheet. One nice thing is that you wont have to worry about matching up stantion locations and figure out the length around the round platforms. This has all been done for you. A number of different ladder styles are included as well.

The second and third frets include the various superstructure add ons. Hatches and platforms as well as boat davits and even the cabins for the various boats are included. As with the other frets these parts are all labeled to match the instructions. Curved platform

Accommodation ladders, platforms, and inclined ladders are among the parts on the third fret. The round platform railings are well down and when rolled form nice platforms. The main radar assemblies are also on this fret.

The last fret is the main crane assemblies.
