That is a really nice looking tank for sure. Starting to appreciate these modern day tanks more

Very expensive but it is very high quality 3D Print set. Just added it onto my Chally. You do have to move headlights and stuff on the the front armour for the new ERA tiles.

The exhaust extension is a perfect fit, nice and snug, doesn't even need glue but I did anyway. This anchors the position of the side ERA plates, and you do need to do some somewhat precise cutting on the original skirts to make it fit but nothing too challenging. Just lots of dry fitting beforehand so you know how the whole piece is going to fit over the side. You will also need to remove the tow rope mounts on the back and then re-mount it to the new skirt afterwards. I think I also need to take out couple of handles near the front as well.

The CIP panels on the front and back of the turrets are just glue ons. The front ERA tiles is a large angle piece, and you need to clear the lower half of the two tow hook mounts, and also remount the headlights from the original upper after the new front piece is mounted. This one is tricky as you will need to mount it not too tight to the body so that you can actually lift the upper and then slide the upper forward to separate the upper and the lower after the new front piece is installed.
