Ooo, nice. Got to see it this summer at the Edmonton Airshow, Alberta, Canada.

Hey, is that ASMP missile file still available? Doesn't seem to be on WeTransfer any more? Thanks, Jim

Not sure if they got LAV-III's. They seem to have LAV-II's (like LAV-25/Coyote) and the newer ones are called LAV-700 (based on the LAV-6 hull, which no one makes yet in scale...) -Jim

If you are really stuck I could try casting the one from my (unbuilt) kit. I have to break out the moldmaking stuff anyhow one of these days. I do have experience and use pressure casting and vacuum for molds. Cheers, Jim [email protected]

Pretty slick. I've never heard of Creo Parametric...looks expensive...would you make the .stl available for those who have printers? Jim

If you use Fusion 360, rectangular pattern should take care of most of the holes. I just whipped this up to try it out. Need better reference though.... :-0

I was there on the 17th and noticed the Sherman Grizzly is not on display any more. Does anyone know where it went to? Maybe just in the workshop...was hoping to see it again. The Shilka is in pretty sorry shape, it's been outside for years!

How would these be secured? Epoxy perhaps? Would have to be strong enough so that the magnets wouldn't just pull each other out I would think...Want to try this on my 1:48th Fencer and ordered those Ebay ones. TIA, Jim

Korea, before CROWS, with mine plow... Jim

I've been lucky enough to see the real thing a couple times at least (being married to a Finn we go back there every couple of years). Haven't had a chance to catch the Leo 2 Marksman yet, maybe next visit! marksman-25s by James Carswell, on Flickr Jim

There's plenty of photos out there that show the tow bar is used quite often, even on recent M1A2 SEP v.2's in Korea. The exhaust deflector is also in use, although more commonly seen attached to the turret stowage rails. Check Prime Portal for pics. This is a USMC Abrams using the exhaust deflector. I understand it is common to use them by a towing vehicle so their exhaust doesn't interfere with the tank/crew being towed. 6_zps4febad02 by James Carswell, on Flickr us-tanks-m1a2-001 by James Carswell, on Flickr m1a1_details_131_of_435 by James Carswell, on Flickr Jim

Actually they were Polish built hulls, and yes, the correct Polish engine deck is there. Jim

Obviously the Meng kit would be the best 2A4 kit now, but being the OP is from 2013... Jim
