Hello everyone,

Me again with another question! Googling D9R pictures produces mostly pictures of Israeli machines. Now, I'm doing a US machine and I can't really get descent pictures... but I can live with that, up to a point!

As the title says, I was wondering about the anti-skid texture on the roof, if any. Does anyone have some pictures/information on this? I'm nearing completion of the assembly on this project and would like to find out before I slap the paint on it rather than after!!!

Cheers and thanks in advance,
Chris

Thank you Luigi.

This look like an Israeli machine though, but if I can't find anything, I'll use it to make my anti-skid texture as I'm sure, since all modern armor as it, that the D9R is no different.

Cheers,
Chris

Hello Christian,
a.f.a.i.k. the D9R used by the US Forces are bought or borrowed from the IDF. So the details of the IDF vehicles should apply for the US versions.

Cheers
