Okay, thanks to the great pics of Sabot (grrrrr ) I once again noticed that the drive sprockets (this time of the M88A1/AFV club) are NOT correct....


Does anyone know how to fix this properly?
I drilled out the lightning holes of the M1A1's but (this one costed €40,-) I'm afraid to hit the inner part of the sprocket... (where the bolts are...) Also drilling them out doesn't give me the nicely oval shape I need. Or is that just me?!
Thanks for any help!
Jurgen out!

I'm not sure how many of these mud holes there are in the sprocket carrier, but I've added them to 1/72 scale Abrams kits so they are not that hard. Just start out with a small hole and enlarge with a circular needle file.

Thanks for answering general, could it be possible that there are just three of them, looking at this pic "drive sprocket" made me think that....
