Guys,

I’m looking for clearer pics of the handles as found on Abrams’ turret & hull stowage bins (See link). Measurements would be also be handy, especially height. I’ve checked Prime Portal, but they’re rarely the focus of pics.

Cheers!

I just took an assload more the other day, but I haven't even looked at them yet. I'll see if something better turns up.

From my own walkaround.

Fantastic pics, gentlemen! Thanks a lot!

Greg,

Today I measured the Storage Bin Handles on a M60A3 that is on display in front of the Columbia Armory in SC. Although it is made slightly different than those on the Abrams, it is probably dimensionally close enough in 1/35 scale to work (note that the lock-down angle bracket is made slightly different on the Abrams version).













I hope this helps. If you still need them, I can get measurements of the Abrams handles the next time I get to the SCARNG area of Fort Jackson.

Jeff,

Thanks for those pics - much appreciated. I’m looking to do these in 1/16, so the dimensions really help. I’ll take you up on your offer for the SCARNG Abrams measurements next time you’re in the area, please.

Thanks to all who made these possible:

They’re in the paint shop now.
