Scimitar stand-in

Question: would a mid/beginning-80's Scimitar have Thermal view

(as they seem to have now) ?

I guess, not, as e.g. the Belgian Leo 1A's only by 1988 were equipped with TIS.

If the info I have is correct Scimitars have only just had TI fitted, in the last 5 years or so.

Before then it was just image intensifiers, which is mounted in the big box sight coaxially right of the gun.

The new sights are a straight swap into this mounting.

Back again ref the Scimitar standin, have tried to get the right efect and paintwork, but because of the way she is modelled, and that one panel is used and duplicated for many others am unable to get the effect i wanted. Options are kind of limited. But will keep trying i guess. Could find a work round but was just checking it out.

Of course because of the front panels, anything painted or put on it is duplicated in all the others, so a colour scheme etc is limited.

Was just having a go, but still i guess wouldnt look too bad, alot more experienced guys out there any ideas, appart from rebuiling, curious, thanks.
