A combustor for a gas turbine engine is provided which includes a plurality of liner segments and a support shell. Each liner segment includes a panel, a forward wall, a trailing wall, a pair of side walls, and a plurality of mounting studs. The panel includes a face surface and a back surface. The forward wall is positioned along a forward edge of the panel and the trailing wall is positioned along a trailing edge of the panel. The side walls connect the forward and trailing walls. The forward, trailing, and side walls extend out from said back surface a particular distance. The plurality of mounting studs extend out from the back surface, and each includes liner segment attachment apparatus.
