Hello,

I already did a Google search, but the results are not that satisfying...

I need clear pictures of the rear hull, esp. some detail shots of the external fuel drum attachment and the gear in between the attachments.

I also need some more pictures of the engine exhaust covers, esp. pics from the upper and the lower side. of the device.
On the artwork of the Trumpeter Op. Telic Challengers the devices are shown, but not included in the kit.

Regards,

Violetrock

Violetrock,
If you are referring to the thermal exhaust covers (TEC) check the sprues again. I have this kit and they are on sprue "E"

Thanks Mike,

found them. But it seems, they need some more detailing.
If I had the money, I would spend it on the Accurate Armour kit, but I can only afford the Trumpeter kit and the Armour Track single track links.

So, some pictures of the TECs would be nice.

Dan, the link was very helpful! Thank you!

There are a few pics in my gallery, including a pic of a Chally 2 being refueled which shows the covers. Not a great pic but it may help.
