Combat ID panels were pretty common during OIF and they appear in most of the photos on the hull and turret sides. As I had used a vietnam era kit they obviously didn't come of the sprue so I tried building them from 1.5mm styrene strip. I made two at a time and cut the frame once I had trimmed and fitted each of the slats and then a simple job of glueing them in place. Now I know they don't look too out of place I will make up the ones for the USMC M1A1s as well as some more for the 4 other US Army Vehicles I need for the Force on Force scenarios
Wow, they (and the new Bradley) look great!
ReplyDeleteI may copy your M113 fuel tank conversion, as well as the ID panel idea at some point in the future.
Nice job all around.
