Thank you both, mates.
James....you have to smooth down a little those housings, but you can leave them as I did. Two millimeters more or left....remember you have to do a constant check, part for part, before definetely fixing them. For example in this pic the parts with red circles have to perfectly fit with the AFV hull....it could be a good test to verify your alignment.
You can leave your torsion bars.

Decided to rework a bit once again the gun travel lock....just to add these two little ractangular holes on both sides of the clamping jaws.
Now it's a little closer to the real one.
And two straps on both side of the gun travel lock support.

Guido, you are a jedi master! Hope you are considering making a compilation of your IDF models and publishing a book with them.

Stunning!
What material did you use to make the grab handles over the engine cover?
