Did the M1200 use the rhino when in Iraq? Also, were the brackets for the cable on the roof beind the turret usually removed? Formations says to just fill the 4 holes in the roof for the bracket. I did find one picture on war wheels that showed the standard Guardian brackets in place http://www.warwheels.net/images/M1200KnightCharvat%20(25).jpg
I wasn't sure which was right. Thanks

Hi Jason, I don't recall seeing any photos of the M1200 with Rhino, although it should be possible, thus I modeled my customer's as such.
I did some intense research on the M1200. The photos I have show the brackets relocated-space further apart and not removed. See my blog for locating. https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/155221&ord=&page=3

If you want to do some detailing, see my picasa album, https://picasaweb.google.com/114041413216204780388/M1117GuardianM1200ArmoredKnight#

thanks Nick! Turns out that was the build I saw on line that inspired the Rhino question. Excellent work! Seems you had an easier time with the PE tie down loops than I did!

Hey Jason, that M1200 was a challenge, I still have the Masters for the Cupola in the works..but too busy with other Masters now.
I use Tamiya liquid glue (green cap) for melting the plastic for any challenging parts such as those tie downs. Once dry I add super glue.

Cheers
