Re: Another Abrams!
Another great modern choice John.
I like Abrams in desert yelow with heavy weathering.

The paint is on, still got a few fury bits to tidy up and I broke the machine gun barrel but should be right to do some weathering over the next week.

Hiya John:
That looks real nice. Were there any problems with the construction on this? My little Tiger had a couple little issues, and I was just wondering. And I like the camo job too. Is that the Australian scheme?

The tiger kit I built in last years Braille Scale Bonanza was like a miniature 1/35 scale kit, some etch bits, metal tow cables and everything just fitted right. But I can’t say the same for the Abrams, its a bit toyish compared to the tigre kit. The back engine plate did not fit real well and some bits don’t look quite to scale, but the tracks are great.

Re: Another Abrams!
I’m finally done! I have been away from home with work for 18 days of this month so I haven’t had a lot of time to spend on the build so there definitely won’t be a base for this one. When I can find some kangaroo decals at the right scale I will paint over my poor effort at the red bunnies and replace with decals.
Can’t help myself, here’s a couple of photos of a very little panzer III I did a couple of years ago.

Re: Another Abrams!
Nice work John! The Abrams is a big tank, especially the turret. It's about the same size of a small tank itself!
The camo is beautifully done also, good job mate.
Cheers

Hi John:
That turned out fantastic. And I wouldn't worry to much about the roo decals. You can just tell everyone that it is from the "KillaBunny" Brigade .
