As you can see, this kit packs in quite a variety of contents, with most of the weapons being newly sculpted. Combined with Expansion Parts Set 3 or 5, you can build a number of different units. With just Sets 3 and 4 together, you can build three variants: the Scopedog Sansa-sen Lt. Commander Leman unit, the Red Shoulder trooper unit Type I, and Type II. The dark green Burglarydog exterior parts — which were also included in Expansion Set 3 — are in this kit as well, so they can come in handy for all kinds of customization.

The various newly sculpted weapons show excellent color separation and a satisfying build feel, and they pair well with the existing HG Scopedog. Just like Expansion Set 3, though, this kit alone can't build anything on its own — you'll need at least Expansion Set 3 alongside it, and to get the full experience you really need Sets 2, 3, 4, and 5 all together. This review only covers the units buildable with Expansion Set 3; for units that also require Expansion Set 5, check out the Expansion Parts Set 5 for Scopedog review.

So yes, it still can't be used independently — but compared to the other expansion sets, the big plus here is the wide variety of newly sculpted weapons included. Either way, if you're looking to customize your HG Scopedog, this is pretty much an essential kit. :-)
