hi, im looking for a 1/35th afv432 kit does any one know or have 1 to sell?

also i have some small detail tips for the warrior afv depending how detailed you want to get ( and from reading the posts u like detail!)

on the tracks the edge of 1 link is painted red this helps the crew know where to knock em out for track bash

on the rear door there is usually a small painted white box with 2 or 3 black stripes running down it this is for the convoy blackout

oh yeah and all fuel caps are yellow and the rear door indoor sill is also in yellow black hatching as are the tips of handles etc ..i suppose most of u are sucking eggs by now but if you need any info on british cam i have the manual i will try to put on here!

many thanxs ross

I don't know the answers to the British armor, but usually when tankers are "walking track" (checking the wear on track blocks and for dead track shoes), they usually mark the bad ones with paint so they know which ones to change. It is easier to change a bunch of them at the same time. They also mark the first track they check so they know when to stop.

I agree with Sabot's post.
when checking track we mark it, and bad ones get a nice pretty color (whatever is available)

we also use a stick, rag, or whatever to mark where we started...they all tend to look alike
