Looking good! I love the diversity of stowage and gear that’s often visible on these tanks.

Hi.
It promises to be another really interesting Abrams on this forum. I keep my fingers crossed for the wonderful finale of your work.

Thank you my friend!!! Here is the last update for the weekend. A few more parts glued on. Next week I will start work on the turret and get the anti slip coating on. I ordered the Mato drive sprockets
as it has the mud holes which will make it more realistic. I also will be running fiber optics through the 50. Cal so it will light up when the main coax is fired.
The beacon light will be spliced in with the headlights so it will turn on when they do. I still need to find a suitable mesh for both turret baskets. No luck so far. If anyone has a link on eBay or Amazon I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I also ordered some parts from shapeways. A more detailed 7.62 machine gun for the gunners hatch. And a towing pintle since the henglong did not come with one

Looking good. As a point of reference if you want it, the spare wheel on the front of the turret actually mounts on that piece with the 3 square holes in it...
