M1A1 Abrams fender tension bar added

Post by jeman »

Hi All,
Just a couple of pics of the Tension bar for the front fenders I knocked up a couple days ago. Still need to add a couple of bits to it before gluing into place. Not totally accurate, but as there were none fitted I think it gives the overall effect that I wanted as you just cant buy these bits for it. It was also missing the rear lights so I made a couple up and again I think it passes for me :haha:

SOOO much more to detail on her but coming on.....next will be the rear lifting mounts :crazy:
Have spoken to Mark from Mark-1-Tanks and sadly they no longer produce the second machine gun so I'm trying to source one......any ideas would be great guys

Cheers
Mark

Thanks Barry,
it was with your great pics and explanation of what they were that really got me to go for it :D Next will be getting rid of the wire over the top of the front head lights and making the proper surround for them......using your pic as that really shows in detail of how they should be
Getting there with it ha ha

Cheers Barry
