Hi, I have some questions regarding the variants of Abrams around in the late-80s, specifically 89. Ordinarily I would presume that the Army had access to the M1A1 at this time, but I've read that the M1A2 entered production in about 86. Obviously it's not the one we're all familiar with, with the round CITV. My questions are: are these dates correct? And if they were in service did the M1A2s have any specific external differences at this time compared with the M1A1? Second, did the M1A1s or A2s of this period have any form of commander thermal sight, specifically the box version, or was it left with the cap? Any help would be appreciated Gaz

Hi everyone, This is my first armour kit in a very long time so be gentle! - it was built for an Airfix/Matchbox armour GB elsewhere and the full build log is here. I know, I know - the weathering is OTT for the scale (1/72) but I've learned a lot for the next time. To recap: Kit: Matchbox M1 Abrams (Revell copyright 1993) Build: Mostly OOB but with scratchbuilt turret bustle rack - stowage items scratched or from spares Paint: Brush painted Revell acrylics. Future. Flory Models wash. GW Nuln Oil. W&N Matt Varnish. The varnish was still tacky when I took these hence the slight sheen in some pics. Also, the camera/lighting really shows up the orange ID panel and I can't imagine they're that shiny in real life? For a kit of its age and the fairly basic level of detail, I'm happy with how it's turned out. Thanks for looking and enjoy your modelling. Dermot
