Pininy,

The M829 is an American Armor-Piercing, Fin-Stabilized, Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) tank round designed specifically for the 120mm M256 main gun on the Abrams M1A1 and M1A2 main battle tanks. This sub-caliber anti-tank round is essentially a dart made of a depleted uranium (DU) alloy which gives it good penetration against nearly all known types of tank armor. The penetrator is carried by a sabot during its acceleration in the gun barrel.

Your build is coming along nicely! :thumbup: :thumbup: Are you going to space both of the return rollers the same as on the actual tank?
I am still uncertain if I am going to change mine, I am a little concerned about the weight of the metal tracks.

Nice XM-153 Remote Weapon Station; any thoughts of making it available? I have a M1A2 SEP planned as a future build and will be needing one.
There may be others here that may also be interested.

Found this http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?217 ... 354#qa&p=1

I dont know whether the cost of $850 including the tank or just XM153 by it self. :wtf:
