After seeing how nice the Meng kit is, I moved it to the top of the build pile. I see it needs the no-slip added, but I can't seem to find decent pictures of the 3D to see what needs masked. Prime portal has a 3, but it doesn't have the add on armor. Thanks

To completely oversimplify it, all of the horizontal surfaces. There are usually large patches around hinges, hand holds, release handles, etc that do not have the non-skid. I'm sure someone else will chime in with more accurate description, this was just to get you started.

thanks. I assume those large round bolts on the front top of the hull would be masked off as well

Based on what I saw from the book MERKAVA SIMAN 3D written by Michael Mass, the bolts on the hull are not masked off. If you are not sure where to apply the anti-slip, there are some pics in the book which can be useful:-H

Have a look here for some photos: Merkava 3D

and this gives a pretty good indication of where it is:
