Leopard 2a6, right tracks, slip ring and new headlights

Nope. The plastic tabs are really small compared to the thicker ones found on the M1A2. Roughly handling, repeated screwing of the arms did the cracks. If the track is tensioned properly, if the tank is not run hard, and if the screws holding the suspension arms aren't always removed and installed, would reduce the chances of cracks developing. Still, I think it's best to reinforce these tabs as a preventive measure.

Mr Darkas if you go to

www.first4magnets.com

they sell a very wide range of magnets, including magnets with holes in them. I use the magnets with holes in to mount them on the posts in my Panzer 4 to keep the body and hull together.

No no, it was an old one.

Cool thing was, in there were 4 of that nice stainless steel 20mm wide wire meshes.

Never throw away something you think it's worthless.
For our hobby all that things can be very handy.
