Hello
I'm in the last step of my Chieftain MK 11 and need an information from specialists!
I used the Prime Portal's MK10 and MK11 walk around for the detailing of my kit but i have a doubt. The PP's MK11 has a light anti-skid on most of hull and turret.
The question is: are all MK11 equiped with anti-skid?
Perhaps the upgraded MK... ones aren't equiped with it, or perhaps the anti-skid was just rarely applied?
Any help would be very appreciate
Thanks in advance
Stephane

Hi

chieftain had all surfaces that you could walk or crawl on had anti slip and it is still the same today .
on chieftain the hull originally had a type of concrete on the hull front , but this was replaces with paint which had grit in it. example , top of all bins, turret top, down the sides of the engine decks, on the rear exhaust box top.
To be honest I won't be adding it as it is fine . but my knees still feel the pain when I use to crawl over it when I was driving a chieftain AVLB

hope it helps Ossie
