FUTURE SHOCK..SAUNDERS M1A2 ABRAMS

Looks good Alpha. Lets see those markings.

Complete off subject even more then the chrome thing, why doesn't anyone doing the Abrams built take my advise and reposition the grenade launchers. As they come they are not right as can be seen in any picture of the real thing.

Everyone really should....I had glued mine before realizing how flat they sat...tried to tear them off again but it was too late...plus the dog ate my homework...but that's another story

I disagree...it just looks O...k ....but O...K is good enough for me...in time it will need work again...so doing it up like this is perfect

Thanks Scalawag

I stuck my bits and pieces on without glueing them in and since I already had so many picture of what I was going to build I noticed the grenade launcher mistake right away unlike some of the other less prominent mistakes or disregarded parts that the various builds have pointed out.
HL did a pretty good job on this one considering how cheap it was when they first released it. I got mine for 158.00 bucks when it first showed up on Ebay north America.
Can't wait for our British members to tear into the Challenger when it finally is released.

Looks good Alpha when the launches drop off you can re attach them remember need for speed and maximum air time

I WISH!!!!!!!!....So far no air ....been trying to jump it off some cement landings...it just hits with a thump ..
.it's still fun trying though ................

Shows you are much more patient than I Giant ....I just glued everything...except the few pieces I couldn't identify right off ...the thing that got me with the launchers were...I didn't put that much glue...you know...just in case...but when I tried to pull them back off...dang if I didn't see my turret flexing...said heck with it....as I didn't want to cut them off...it would just make the mount weak...maybe down the road....right now I just want to get my markings on...and keep trying to get some air with it


ALPHA

PS. FUTURE ABRAMS BUILDERS....FOLLOW GIANT'S ADVICE AND RAISE THOSE LAUNCHERS....IF NOT FOR ANYTHING ELSE...IT'LL MAKE YOUR TANK LOOK MEANER

Thump

A couple of times it made a nasty Crunching sound ...thought OOOOOOOOOOOOOp...there went something...took it apart and nothing ...Beats that Type 10 anytime

Think you will have fun when you get yours Kiaser

I'd have to have a real gas turbine engine in mine to get it to fly like that and there would be no guarantee it would land turret side up.

[ALPHA]

It is almost in my grasp as we speak have to go to the postie in the morning to pick up

Tally Ho!!!

that's what I wish mine would do unfortunately all it can really do is this

and this

Guess we have to settle for doing this eh Giant
