gmoss Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone This is Trumpeter's 'US M1A2 Abrams' kit, which I originally built in 2013 to represent an Australian M1A1 with a bit of scratch building. I recently beat it up and placed it on this base. Extras: - Mouse House - Auscam paints, ration boxes and jerry cans - Southern Sky decals - Eduard bustle rack extension - other bits and pieces scrounged from my spares box. Original build with shelf mate Edited November 12, 2020 by gmoss 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looks really good, particularly like the base and how it "sits in it". Nice to see modern armour looking well used. The red looks really good inside the lenses too. Great work. Only thing I'd suggest is any chance of larger pictures, there a little small and when zoomed in they start to loose clarity.

Yes, totally agree mate - I was disappointed at the size of the pics and had trouble trying to make them bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I guess I might be biased but I really think Aussie armour camouflage is the best looking of all. great model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tend to agree the Australian AFV's do look very good. It's those 3 colours I think, awesome! I have a an Italeri Leopard that is destined to become an AS1, and a Trumpeter ASLAV/LAV25, also destined for the Australian scheme. Have to get myself an M1 at some point!
