Hello all,

Can anyone tell me what the small fluted vertical cylindrical protrusions are on the top of the hull of the BT-7?

Step 15 of the Tamiya instructions indicate that they are to be painted XF-56 (Metallic Gray).

What color should they be?

Here is a link to step 15 of the instructions: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10114484z6/70/6

Thanks.

Hi Matt

I know it won't help much, but here's what it looks like on a 1:1 BT-7 :

They are the tops of the suspension spring units. 4BO like the rest of the vehicle sounds like the logical colour - not sure why they would be unpainted.
