Meng 1/35 Abrams M1A2 TUSK

[Mr Bowcat]

Hi guys,

 

I finished this one up over the weekend. Usual Meng quality, went together really well. The only downside were the 6 piece track links that took forever to build.

 

Paint is Hataka orange line lacquer, and the weathering was done with oils and pigments.

Wow!! That's impressive. I do like your detailing and finish! Very well done.

Kind regards,

Stix

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Stix.

[ivan-o]

Yep like that a lot! 👌

Have one of these to build .have to say you have done a fabulous job of this 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

 

Viper, be warned, the tracks are a massive PITA.

[gmoss]

Wow - that's really nice.

[Jasper dog]

Superb, excellent paintwork and weathering and a base....what's not to like!

Great work

It's not always easy to do a single colour scheme well, but you've really brought it to life. Nice one.

[phildagreek]

Nice!

[pacificmustang]

Great job! 
so the 50 cal.  on top of the main gun is a remote fired weapon?

Very nicely done indeed. The colours and weathering especially so.

Really nice - well done mate!

 

Question - did you paint it green first then overspray with desert colour, or the other way around? Thanks

[diablo rsv]

That looks really good and nicely presented as well.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

 

Bruce, not completely sure but I guess the .50 is either  a co-axial or ranging gun, and I would imagine remotely operated.

 

Alpha, no green was harmed in the painting of this vehicle. It was black undercoat and desert tan over the top of that.

[DAG058]

Pretty much perfect in my opinion, very well done!

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers.

Excellent build and great vignette. Those closeups are awesome. Great work.
