Mine is based on several different 1/35 models and on the limited available photos.

I can't tell from you photos how much angle you have on the front. Here are some pics of my effort, may be of help.

Thanks Barry. Yep this is awesome. I'll use yours as reference. Appreciate it. Neat work as always Barry

Hello all,

Just wondering what size of .50 CAL ammo can used on abrams rack?

i found there are 3 different sizes. (note the last 3 boxes to the right)



TIA

This is the one i've got. is it too big?





This is my reference

Update on Belly Armour

Delay? yep, went home for a break and spray painted the armour. And now back at work, means im back in business











I think this part was the most challenging part to make due to the angle design

some many great works!

so are you going to re-paint the tank to desert yellow?

Hi Pininy, Thank you!

No, i wont be painting this all desert. Will leave it as is.

I made this based on M1A1 Heavy Common Abrams MBT of B Company, 1st Battalion, 35th Armor Regiment posted in Iraq.



Mine will not be 100% accurate as shown above.


This is my favourite colour scheme.

Next, BFT (Blue Force Tracker) GPS. Not much detail i can find this on the net, but this what i come up with limited reference.






I've glued them using hobby glue, and apply some putty from the inside so that it holds the structure of it.





filed all the edges


Painted it using desert yellow acrylic




And smack bang in next to the "doghouse"








There are 2 types of BFT gps design. One is exposed top, the other covered.

Done deal.

Very nicely done!
