Abrams m1a2 tusk 2 build

Because I don’t have enough builds on as it is I’ve decided to throw another into the mix. I bought this beautiful Abrams off Martin James recently. It’s hl based with dklm conversion and some wonderful scratch built details martins added. It’s a shell with stock running gear which is where the build part comes in (I wont be tinkering with martins master work paint job).
Much like my telic challenger I’m going to beef up the running gear and add a Clark tk60spg2 board with 2 axis stabilisation, slip ring and turret mounted electrics (hopefully).
So far I’ve got the board, henntec adjuster, and a hl plastic dual current gearbox. I have ordered the slip ring, metal running gear (thanks Herman), Clark rotation with deck level switch. I’ll probably use another WPC large fr7 speaker box. The tub will get resin and alloy reinforcement and there will be magnets to hold it all together.
This is the starting point:
