Modifications: I started with scratchbuilding of drives´s interior. All parts I built from plastic sheets,wires and ALTECO resin putty. I succeed with cutting out some covers over the gas turbine and bateries. I scratched all details from the plastic sheets, lead wire and from the other material what I found at home. Then I stick photo etched parts, did some new details on the turret like the smoke grenades launchers, cases for smoke grenades, new open stowage case...). News are some parts of APU unit and mounting of 12,7mm machine gun.

After-market parts: Photo etched parts Eduard, bags and stowages CMK and Goffy model
