Hi all,
This is my HL Abrams M1A2 so far still a little bit to do but not much. It has Metal tracks/ metal sprockets and idler's/metal road wheels and the HENNTEC track adjuster from Guido henn also have added the extra storage basket on the back and field telephone box by the o/s rear light unit spare sprocket rings are from the Leo2 they are much the same. And changed the speaker for a vistion.Brian...

Very nice job there. Like the spare sprocket rings and roadwheels. If you had a HE Abrams to get parts off of I suggest you use its smaller ID panels on the rear and side bustles as they are closer to being the correct size ( HL's are oversize).
Also the grenade launchers are aimed to low on the HL and moving them is not a big job but makes it look much better.
