Here is my Hobby Engine M1A2 Abrams, i got it cheap of Ebay £39.99 brand new 8O and i only wanted it as a quick project until i found a Leopard, which i now have, so i got the Abrams into this state and i will come back to it after the Leopard :thumbup:

Your not wrong Iain, but if i had'nt got the proper tracks for it, it would'nt look half as good :D i managed to mate a set of Tiger shafts onto the original Hobby Engine shafts, so i still have the original boxes, for the electrics, it has none right now :S the Hobby Engine electrics are crap, so for now it will remain static :crazy:
