Time for an update. After a short break to fit the Mato Sherman Bogies to my HL Firefly conversion it was back to the Abrams.

Here are some pics of the Side Armor Pivot Hangers and Closure Hangers.

The forward closure hangers are turnbuckles made from .080" square styrene, drilled and tapped 00-90. They are actually adjustable as the prototype. :crazy:

TAFN, Thanks for looking in!

Again you seem to set a new index by which OCD is measured !!
I reckon you must look like one of the Area 51 Aliens with massive eyes!
That's the only way you pull off stuff like this :thumbup:
