Tamiya M1A2 SEP V3 tusk 2

Post by tomhugill »

Hey folks,

Another one that had been languishing a while polished off.

Tamiya M1A2, upgraded to sep v3 standard with the tusk 2 add on armour package.

I've used a few bits from the trumpeter Abrams sep kit to add extra details.

Okmo sep v3 kit with motorised crows
Okmo motorised citv
Armoured models tusk 2 kit

Gary f gave it a lovely Forrest camo paint job

There you are!

I have the motorized CROWS from DKLMRC, I imagine it’s probably the same as the one you instialled here or similar. I cannot figure out how the bottom is supposed to attach inside of the gunners main sight box, and where the motor is supposed to go to spin the base of the CROWS.

If you have any tips, advice, pictures, or video of how this is assembled that would be super awesome!

Hope you see this!
