Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I'm interested in finding out the pattern used for the non-slip surface on a M2A2 Bradley.

I know how to depict the non-slip surface on a model and need to know the pattern for proper masking.

The pics on Prime Portal aren't the best.

TIA,

Rich

Frenchy,

Thanks for your response.

I found that site too, but, unfortunately, there's nothing on the turret.

Regards,

Rich

The flat part on the roof forward of the BC's hatch, along with the flat top of the gunner's hatch on the Bradley have anti-slip. You can see how I applied it here:


More pics here.

There is quite a good graphic of the antislip coating in one of the verlinden modelling books - i will try and see if i can find and then scan the image for you...

Richard, et al,

The Bradley with the non-slip surface mentioned in the thread about is mine. It's still not finished. I put it aside to wait for some more Tamiya "Dark Yellow"

You can look at some of my work on it on my blog though: http://richardsmilitarymodels.wordpress.com/ . Look in my "Depot". You'll find the Bradley there.
