Shows the front mudflaps filled in since the A2 uses this type. Hand hold replaced with wire. Filler cap was re-oriented to an angle, handle replaced, retaining chain added, and details re-worked. Mineplow connection box added. Track hanger pins simulated. Lip detail added to the driver's hatch. Fender springs re-worked with metal rod and added track endlinks.

Rear of hinge detail. Square bar hoops added. Rear mud flaps removed. Light mount modified with square cutout per the original tank. Since this is a battery box version there is no exhaust for the generator and it was left off.

Overall frontal shot with the Trumpeter towbar hung for quick deployment. Anti-slip texture added. Anything that is white silver or gray has been added or modified by me.

All handles were reworked with metal rod. Re-worked the grills. Black grill made from an old speaker cover with round holes per the original tank. Pin detail added. Reworked the other grill from flat to have an angle per the original.

Rear engine deck rework showing reworked fuel door. You can see the squarish handles also have the simulated spring detail added.

Shot of the vinyl mudflaps that are flexible. Made from some waterproof tape from T-Rex. Basically the tape was folded over on itself as the part you see and then the sticky part of the tape mounts it to the inside of the track well. Footman loop replaced with steel cable and the solid box replaced by a scale hollow one. Bolt detail added to track skirts.

Reworked tow cable mounts. Tow cable ends are going to be replaced by some resin ends cast from the Trumpeter ones since they are much nicer. They will be mated with real 2mm steel cable.

Rear bustle rack with some stowage just for fun. Want to add the BRE (Bustle Rack Extension) eventually. Duke system (white box with antenna in the bustle) was fabricated along with the Blue Force Tracker antenna. On the SEP models it's not mounted on the Doghouse. It is relocated to the rear behind the right storage bin.

Fabricated my own exhaust deflector. Simulated padlocks and replacement storage bin handles added. Handles added to the CIPs (Combat Identification Panels). Still need to make tie down straps for the CIPs and the ammo box tray.
