Does the above named have anti-slip on the add on armor like the Magach 6b? Most of the photos I have found are distance shots so it's hard to tell. Thanks.

If you are reffering to the Academy kit, no it does not have anti slip. Like the 6B Gal Batash kit.

I am a bit confused. I am indeed referring to the Academy kit which I know does not have the anti-slip texture. I was referring to the 1:1. So, I am not sure if my question initial question was unclear or if I am not quite understanding your answer. Thanks.

I think he's referring to the real thing...aren't you, Armorsmith? All modern IDF armor should have anti slip. I'm not sure about the add on armor though...
A few pics of the tank during exercise...

OK, so I did find some good close ups on Prime Portal and it looks like there is no anti-slip on the front glacis or the turret sides. There is not a good photo of the turret roof so I am still unable to make a determination about the roof. If anyone can clarify or send me to some better photos it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, there is anti-slip on all upper surfaces:

Ooops... sorry, narrow minded thinking in scale only.
Here is a photo to compensate my lack of comprehension
