Does anyone out there have any sprue shots of Trumpeter's British Challenger II Enhanced Armored Battle Tank? I'm curious to see how they produced the slat armor on that kit! TIA

the bar armour is basically one piece for each panel with seperate support arms. I just received mine today...unfortunately mine is missing a piece so the build was put on hold

In mine, I was missing one of the long return roller arms....part A4.

The slat looks good- it is a tad on the thick side but at least it won't take 5 days to assemble!
