Does anybody have a drawing or photo that would help me add those little notched leading edges strips on the Challenger 1 turret. Most apparent on the right side by the TOGS. Of course they are missing from the Tamiya turret.

Don't know if these scalloped strips are what you were refering to or not. Best I found so far...

That's what I was talking about. Not sure what the proper name is or what it's purpose is. I'll give it a shot and see if I can get it close.

Thanks,

Is it the line on the edge of the turret just above the smoke grenade launchers and forward of the sight housing? If so, it looks like a weld seam line.
