Voyager Model PEA225 is a detail-up set intended for 1/35 scale models, dedicated to the Guardian Armored Security Vehicle equipped with the modern Rhino Anti IED device. This detailed kit has been created by the renowned model accessories manufacturer – Voyager Model – and allows for a highly realistic recreation of defense systems against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in modern armed conflicts.

The Rhino Anti IED device is an advanced system used by the United States military and coalition forces, including during missions in Afghanistan and Iraq after 2003. Mounted on armored vehicles such as the Guardian, its purpose was to detonate explosive charges at a safe distance from soldiers and the vehicle. Rhino became a hallmark of operations in asymmetric warfare during the so-called post-Cold War era – from the beginning of the 21st century to the present day.

Voyager Model PEA225 is a high-quality photo-etched set made from precisely cut thin metal, ensuring exceptional replication of the structural details of the real Rhino device. The kit includes photo-etched sheets as well as selected metal parts, and depending on the production batch, some plastic or resin accessories may also be present. All components allow for advanced detailing of a plastic model kit, offering an unparalleled level of detail in reconstructing the vehicle's IED protection system.
