Greetings all!

I've got a question. Do modern Soviet and Russian armored vehicles have a non-slip texture on the horizontal, flat surfaces the way most modern western bloc vehicles do?

I'm about to start work on the Trumpeter up-armored BMP-3. I want to be sure I simulate it if it's there in real life; but I'll gladly pass on it if it's not.

Thanks in advance!

As you can see there are no Anti-slip surfaces on BMP-3

Thanks!

I'd really, really hate to go to all that trouble masking off stuff if it wouldn't be accurate.

Me too. But fortunately Russian tanks on average don't have no-slip rough surfaces. They only have sometime roughness on metal cast surfaces

Have a good job with your BMP-3

cheers
