Other than adding an AFV Club mantlet cover,this will be OOB. I am not sure what I will use for the sand color. I think the Testor's IDF sand gray is a bit too yellow. :idonno

Finally got the gumption to start working on this. Terry Ashley on the Perth site was not kidding when he said you have to cut away some of the mantlet when adding the canvas cover.

This might help as they show paint chips from 1967, 1973 and current.
