Does anyone have pics of an Abrams showing where these non slip areas are on the tank? I have learned my incoming Tamiya M1A2 does not have it moulded on and I want to try to apply it myself..thanks for the help!

I've got the TM scans for the M1 and M1A1 anti-slip surfaces still in my e-mail outbox. The surfaces should be the same as the M1A2 except for the manhole cover. The A2 doesn't have one so that should be an easy item not to do.
