Hey all, I know there are a few M113 experts here. I am building the Academy M163 Vulcan version. I was wondering, if you look at the radar on the side of the turret, what are the two vertical bars in front of it? I initially thought IFF antenna, but they’re too big for that. Brush guard maybe? Anyone? Here’s a link - I can’t seem to figure out how to post a pic: http://dwp.bigplanet.com/rellitechnology/nss-folder/pictures/M163.vulcan.jpg
Those are deflector bars to protect the dish from damage.
Thanks!
