hi

im not sure, if this will be a good idea, think this parts are version based so it should be only aditional points on the turret, not fix points. if i understand you right?!.

Hi Chris
Hmm, yes you may be right. These were standard on British, Australian & New Zealand Centurions, but not so sure about the European, Middle East & Canadian users.

NoOoooooooooooooo. I cant afford that. Keep your prices reasonable. Then you may actually sell some. i would love a full metal lower for my new Abrams. I really would like it to be extremely durable.

Hi Chris
Nice. Have you used HL Metal M41/M26 shock absorbers in those Horstmann units?

A couple of bits to add - Larkspur aerial bases - http://www.shapeways.com/product/V3R...i=shareProduct - (name needs amendment) & http://www.shapeways.com/product/VKC...i=shareProduct courtesy of Woz.
