Every once in a while, a company will produce a detail set for a kit that is without peer. Such is the case with LionRoar's latest detail set for the Dragon/DML M-16 Ainti-Aircraft Gun Motor Carriage. This incredible set includes no fewer than six sheets of etched brass. It also includes brass gun barrels and cooling jackets for the four .50 cal machine guns. In addition to all this, there are sections of copper and plastic rod which will be needed to complete the set. Lion Roar is well known for excellence in their products and this set is no exception.

As you'd expect, the instructions are most complete, consisting of eight pages of detailed construction notes and drawings. There really is no part of the kit that will not benefit from these detail parts. That includes interior floors, engine hood and the engine itself. Of course, we cannot forget the gun turret section and the various stowage boxes to be found on the rear of the vehicle. I think it would be safe to say that there is not a comparable set for this kit and while this isn't really recommended for beginners, if you want the highest level of detail for your M16 GMC, this is the set for you.
