FUTURE SHOCK..SAUNDERS M1A2 ABRAMS

[HERMAN BIX]

Yeah Mr Alpha, what he said

Did you notice the M1 has pink gas cans Herman?

Put a Shrimp on the brand new stainless Bar B for me


ALPHA

Umm.................they are not pink, they are "off-yellow"
Im gettin my 'shrimp' on tomorrow mate, got to bed in the plates & grilles with butter & onion first
Has a side burner as well so I can do Galliano Prawns as well as BBQ prawns with ginger & chilli

PS...The beacon is Yellow

[HERMAN BIX]

Beacon - amber.
Fuel/water cans(no brains to put fuel in a vulnerable spot for such a low volume anyway)are faded yellow, but I will admit they take on the Pink Panther British hue if I muck around with my screen settings
Could be a new equal marriage rights crew on the way to a Mardi-Gras !!

Judging from the low res quality of the pic, those jerrycans are probably just desert tan or desert yellow.

Driver's Hatch.............with guards....for Giant


Now someone should have told me it would be easier to do if the hatch was removed....doesn't matter...didn't want it to open anyway lol

Thanks ATC....a little ways to go before the decals go on...have a few areas that need attention...did the mod work...just need to touch up the paint
Saw yours coming along...it's going to be really something once the paint is on

But no rear phone box?
Just kidding, must have been hard to put those pieces on the closed hatch.

I found that picture and they do look pink on the original I downloaded as do many things in the picture like the metal parts of the tracks, the tow shackles, and even some of the paint. Will try to edit it but doubt I will have much success in finding out the real color.
Those are always water or some other pretty non flammable liquid cans now. With no need to carry spare diesel fuel for the old uaapu turbine engine 10 gallons of jet fuel wouldn't be much use for a main turbine that burns so much so fast and risk it being sucked into the engine bay if punctured starting an engine fire. A lesson they learned from the old M1A1 apu during the first gulf wars when crews had fuel cans they put in the bustle rack get punctured and causing engine fires that all the extinguishers couldn't put out.

Nope...no phoning home lol...you have to watch the anime Giant...the gals use cells ...wasn't too bad putting the guard on...I just traced the outline of the Hatch...then trimmed plastic accordingly ...the hardest part was blending the rear of the hatch like in the photo...but yeah...think it's a much easier job with the hatch cut out ...don't think any of my figures would fit...so there is really no sense in doing that mod...did manage to touch everything up...will try to get pictures up later...providing the weather is good...right now it looks like it's going to rain
