Warrior MCV Detail set
Kit # EXV 72058 Review by Simon Barnes

This set is designed for the Revell Warrior MCV. A very nice set, it includes new turret and side hull baskets with the mesh pattern going in the right direction unlike the kit pieces and although the hull basket is not 100% correct it is a vast improvement over the kit piece. Also included is a much needed periscope detail for the drivers hatch, which includes the wiper blades, rather than having a flat surface as the kit, in fact the set includes periscope detail for all the turret and hull periscopes.

With all the handles around the hull nand the latch for the inside of the commanders and gunners hatches, the set completes itself with new headlight guards, presumibly you will have to cut away the moulded on guards on the kit pieces for these to fit, although the instructions are a bit unclear on this. The final pieces are new mudflaps and covers for the Raven sights on the turret and of course the omnipresent on British vehicles, the cable reel.

A recommended set that will enhance an already good kit and corrects some of the flaws present in the kit. There are a few other parts that I feel could have been included which would have enhanced it further without getting too difficult.

If you have a Revell Warrior you need one of these sets, Along with the PDI brass barrel.and even the PDI interior and the CMSC kit and you nearly! have the perfect Warrior.
