My question is what area is need on the Abram for a no slip surface.Digger
Front slope up to drivers hatch, entire top of turret, around the turret above the side skirts, and on the engine deck in the large center plate section.
Also on the front side skirts (left and right) you will notice a small inverted half-circle on your kit, this is a small cable that is made for a toe-hold while climbing on the front slope. Make sure to silver it for wear (or muddy it) to show use. Whatever is appropriate for your style.
Ok thanks,Digger
A picture is worth a thousand words!
The non-slip surface is found basically on the top surfaces of the tank, minus the front fenders, and where the drivers hatch slides across the front deck. I hope these pics help you out!
Funny, that that detail is never really shown in models built, and by kits–that is a huge difference!
I have the TM scans posted in a zip file here:
