Are you going to make the Thunderbolt VII?

It's a historical tank, it's ostensibly the tank Creighton Abrams commanded in WWII. Well, one of them.

Not making Thunderbolt, just one from a photo I found online.

Not going to do the turret armour.

Slow progress. Waiting for the weather to warm up to prime outside.

Then I can airbrush some OG :)

Got a queue starting!

Thanks Eddy, Lee!

Almost finished, couple of details and they are ready for paint.

Both running Nick Aguilar turrets, one converted to oval hatch.
