Good for the 60, A1 and A3, but what about the A2 and 728 that don't use the main gun travel lock on the engine deck? Maybe a second deck design to capture those vehicles as well.

Like this?

It should be possible for a skilled modeler to remove the hinge for the travel lock
I am curious about the handles for those lids/hatches, there seems to be a difference between the resin part and the photo above

And, those 2 triangular rings near the turret end, are missing on the update part.We used those to lift the back deck off during Q services.

We also need a correct engine deck and rear engine grill for the M247 Sergeant York.

Which version? They modified the rear several times during its development to try to fix overheating problems so modellers have a choice depending on time-frame. I've got one in the "future" stash, but haven't decided yet which mod to go with.

[EDIT: Comment about lift rings removed.]

And yes that new deck is missing a bunch of lift-rings. Pity.


Engine deck is only for AFV Club kits and lift-rings are in kit as separate parts.

Ah, sorry! I retract my comment.
