                        That's your first armor model? Wow is all I can say. Gee, I've been building since the beginning of time and they don't look that good. Welcome to the Dark Side Justin. Another wing guy bites the dust. LOL

                        gharlane, Those are I believe shot traps to keep incoming rounds from glancing off the undercut turret into the top deck...

                        Umm.. That machine gun on the main gun mantlet.. Is that coaxial or does a rather brave Israeli have to lie down across the turret?

                        Thank You to everyone for your kind words!!
                        This forum is great! Big Smile [:D]
                        I am very satisfied with my first attempt. Im learning new techniques and will continue to build (no pun intended) on what I have learned. Thanks to everyone at FSM! alot of what I have learned has come from FSM and everyone on this discussion board.

                        More is coming.

                        Thanks again!
