Academy M1A1 - Aussie Abrams

[Russ72]

So hear it is.....done. A big thank you to Norm for his help during the build, and thank you to all those who provided support, is was very welcome.

























This one is the first for the year, third in the series of twelve months of builds commemorating 100 years of ANZAC. The ISM GB/Sig calendar has been friendly with doing this, allowing me to build Australian and New Zealand content right up to the"Jagd" build. Next up will be an A- 4G for "In the Navy".

Cheers, Russ.

Nice! It looks like it's been through a bit of a rumble, too. Or the driver was texting.

Cheers for looking in fellas. I was intending to beat the thing up from the start, but it ended up hiding some sins. The tracks didn't go very well, and I wasn't all that happy with the paint job. Loved the build part though.

Lovely work. Not seen many models of Aussie Abrams around, so kudos for giving it a go.

The added touches are really nice, the new sensors, added stowage, missing front fender etc. Lovely!
