I am working on a TIran 4 or 5 and wascurious if ANY of them were without the engineering equipment mts. I have alot of reference mats, but they all show them. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

Matan,
I am referring to the mounting bosses on the glacis and lower hull. Like the Tamiya kit. My dlilemma is that I wanted to make a Tiran in SLA service or Gonen force and I really dont have much Tiran refs. I just ordered the Blue Steel book on Tirans - I have heard its a great one, but I dont have it yet. All the pictures I have seen show these mounts, even on the later SLA T55s that dont have all the IDF mods.

Have you looked at the Warmachines series on the Tirans? IT might be time for you to take a trip to Laturn and take your caliper/measuring tape!

Id love to see you go Tiran on the T-62. They had different features than the 4 or 5s and I ve always liked them!
