Battalion mortars or does each company have their own?

[gi-depp]

no mortar, IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle)

[pjm20]

I should have been more specific, but are you going to model mortars as well? Not completely familiar with a CAB, but I'd assume company level 120s.

Sure wish I could see the pics, I see everyone else's.

Yes, I'm playing with the idea of ​​building a mortar squad. But that is still far in the future. First I will finish the A, B and C company.

I can see them now

First -- Fantastic work on these armored vehicles ..


I have quite a few of the DODX cars and loads. I'd like to add the tie down chains and other details, but also be able to remove the loads to store them and put the flats back into their MT storage boxes ..   I could mount these on styrene painted the same color as the flat cars, but then loose the detail for the chain tie downs .. I've thought about using some clear plastic to allow see through to the flat car deck - but then there is the "shiny"

Any ideas (with examples) that the collective hive has developed?

Haven't gone through with it but I have thought about securing the chains to the tanks with something strong and flexible like Walthers Goo then installing magnets in the tank loads themselves. The PE chains would still be delicate though.

Be careful, a MTOE CAB armor company is 3 tank platoons with a BFIST. That’s a task organized company sized team, hence the attachments of infantry and engineers.
