Hey Alpha! Have you settled on a name for your M1? Greengiant's is named after his username here. Mine is Nub Nub (because my Leo2 is named Bun Bun hehehehe!). Although the tanks are usually named based on the company (A Company has tanks named with A like Assassin, Apocalypse; C Company tanks are Crater Magnet, Cojone Eh; so on and so forth) it isn't a hard and fast rule (like the four tanks of 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, 2nd Bde, 3ID named after the four 9/11 flights). I vote you name yours Thunderbolt, which is the name of Creighton Abrams's M4 tank. It would be fitting since the M4 is Saunders High's main tank, so yet another link to GuP.

Assume it was the prototype having the XM serial number ?

That's easy ATC...she's so sexy....VALERIE 3 ...Thunderbolt is an excellent suggestion though...I like the clever connection...but from the get go...it's always been Valerie

Hey there Herman....Interesting...I almost went with grey for this tank....the monikar "Thunderbolt" looks good on that color

ALPHA

Oh it was green, but the paint had gone chalky.

Thinking I should have made the periscope pots before hand

My Version...............Driver's Hatch
pictures:






The center lens doesn't show up well in the light...sorry gang...it's storming outside...too many shadows in the house to illuminated that lens...mostly because it's a double laminent ....clear on the outside with the tinted one behind it

Didn't show the construction because of the weather...it's bad...didn't want to get caught painting in the dark
