In their newer version, those strips are on the PE sheet, along with radiator screens.

Got a little more done on both the M163 and M981. I will work on the turrets next.

Worked on the M163 a little yesterday. Got most of the turret sub assemblies done.

That’s a good start. Two kits at ounce.

Thanks! I am doing about 20 kits at once. I work a little on one and so on and so on. My interest on one or another wanes so I move on to another one. I also can’t paint indoors so I have to wait for warmer weather so I work on as many as possible to get them to the primer stage. So I have at least 20 or so started. I have at least another 12 or so already in primer waiting for their respective camo paint. I have a very short window to paint so my builds accumulate. Besides the long winters here, I am also taking care of my elderly parents and have to do most everything for them so that also takes up a lot of time.

I have probably another eight that are already camo painted but waiting to get a clear coat and then weather them. My weathering skills need a lot of work.

Did some work on the M981. Did some of the TOW turret sub assemblies and started the rear fuel tanks. The tail lights are from Tamiya.
