hello chaps,
As i write this im building on Trumpeters STRV 103-S tank
'cause i bought the neccesary aftermarket stuff for this little piece of armour wich is no problem to build and attach.
But i have a question about something anyway.
In some walkthrougs you can see the STRV mounted with some sort of rack on top of the front of the tank.
I asked this question on another site but their answer was not very convincing.
I'ff got three choises to pick from but wich one is it ?
Was it extra armour ?
Was it a grenade catcher ?
Or was it simply a rack to put branches trough for extra camouflage ?
I ask tthis 'cause i'm writing an article also about this " little Tank " and i want to give the right answer .
I hope you can help me out .
al the best to you all
sincere
Eric

Hi Ya,
Looking over on Prime Portal at the walkthroughs
http://www.primeportal.net/
It would appear to be an anti RPG effort (like slat armour on the Stryker)
It's much too bulky just for extra camo or stowage
Hope to have helped
Tom
