SA-4 Ganef Question

It sounds like a brace of some sort to me. Or perhaps a travel lock?

Travel lock.......I like that. Thank you.

Is there a kit of this or are you bashing one out?

This is the only model of this beast that I know of : http://www.tank-mania.com/SA-4-Ganef.php

But I only used the photos from Tank-Mania's website for reference. I am free-building one out of Lego. I am a Lego Military Modeler. Other Tanks/AFVs I've built include: U.S. T-28/T95, Tunguska 2S6m, Stridsvagn Strv-103b, Kodiak AEV 3, and a M2A2 BFV.

Below is a link to my photo-stream if you'd like to check out some of my stuff:

I'm not going to lie, I've seen some great models in plastic and paper; but with the restrictions of LEGO, I'd have to say your work is pretty incredible.  

One question, why are the T-28 tankers wearing flowers on their heads?

First, thanks for the compliment, Legos are a medium I enjoyed as a kid, and I've always loved AFVs so I figured "What the Hell!"
Second, brace yourself, because the answer regarding the flowers is pure stupidity. - All of my tanks that I build are not "mini-fig" scale. That is assuming the Lego mini figs represent a 6' adult, which would mean I'd have to build my tanks in a 1:40ish scale. I don't like building tanks that small, so my Lego mini figs represent ridiculous plant/human hybrids known in Thai folklore as "Naree Pon". - They are very small humanoids. This way, other builders in the Lego community don't sit there complaining my tanks are too big, and NOT mini fig scale. I know it's completely absurd, but I include them in at least one picture of each tank to showcase some of the crew features. I'll be photographing my SA-4 in the next day or two, and I'll let you guys know when it's up! Take it easy.
