Then I'll draw a stripe, like on a real one - with a brush....
Too even - it hurts the eyes....
Electronics is the science of contacts and their absence...

Stowage bustle rack is on.
Not yet complete but very close.
I still need to attach the top plate and outer tie rail.

Nope , not at all Sir, but that’s a MK 3 version!!

The 4s are built with different racks.
Pics from Gaza show parallel bars and solid corner posts. I did go with slightly different corners as I didn’t have anything better plus this thing will cop a bashing when the turret whips around!!
Though I would also assume that they can be fitted across the range of versions if required.

Yeah, you can only argue with the General when you're twirling his uniform button.....
I didn't pay any attention to it, although with their changes in the tank's components, I'm not surprised by anything anymore!

Thats for sure!!
I bet once these vehicles are returned to their bases in the Homeland they will all be in for a raft of upgrades, repairs and modifications with lessons learned.
