I like it!
Your weathering looks awesome.
I have one and would love to pick your brain on the improvements you've made to the electronics/operations and the structural reinforcements you've added.

Some exquisite details there, lending the Abrams a credible appearance.

Thank you Barry.
Once I get ready to install my new tracks, I will take pictures of the inside and add a video as well.

Thank you. After reading Barry’s built thread, I know it’s impossible to reach his level of realism. I just reworked those things I think Tamiya should have not missed to begin with. I hope as 16th scale gains in popularity, more photo etch, figurines, stowage etc. will be available soon.

You mentioned in your opening message that you wanted it to look ok from 3-4 feet................well I can give you the news, it looks outstanding from more than 11,000 kilometers away
Extraordinary work and accessory detail.

Tankmaniac,
Speaking of PE where did you get the small chain you used on the fuel caps, MG mount pins and rear side shirt pins?
Your build has
all the essentials making it one of the best on the site IMO.

Stunning build. Well done.
I’ve just started to up my game in the detail front on my last few builds.

Thank you, sir.
The chains are made by Aber. They’re generic photoetched chains. When I ordered them it was a shot in the dark, because there was no hint as far as the size goes. I will post a picture of the actual package tonight when I get home from work today.
