Guys thanks --

here are some pics of the kit





im going for OOB on this kit - it has everything you can think of. Im adding some AM decals for a OIF battle wagon



1/37 armour -- so actually a euro camo instead of the sand.

Here is the progress made so far.

In this photo I filled in the alignment holes for kit periscope guards in preparation for installing periscope guards from the PE set.


Here the holes are filled in and excess removed. Some PE is in place on the drivers hatch.


In this image, the PE periscope guards are in place. I have added a resin antennae base.


More PE work completed.


This photo shows the beginning of work on the rear ramp. You can see the difference between the PE tow cable 'keeper' and the kit molded 'keeper' that the tow cable goes around.


These next two shots show the completed rear ramp. I used an extra PE power socket from a HMMWV PE set to replace the molded on power socket that is to the right of the tow pintle.

Hi people!

I think it is done! This is my first campaign.

My RG-31 was OOB, except the ma deuce (I used an Academy one).

To the base I used the J's Work stuff that came with the kit.

I hope you like.
















Thank you guys!

Here I have completed preliminary assembly of the Commanders Cupola.





The holes on the right side of the cupola hatch interior are actually filled and smooth. I used CA glue as the filler and it appears translucent when sanded.

Hi Jose!

I never see a braile Abrams. I'll follow. My hands are to big to build these little tanks and I admire those who have the ability to do this.

Cheers!

Thank you Jose!

@ G!

I do not know if you can. But, did you try to enlist in campaigns page?

If you can enlist, you can participate.

But i think only the owner of this campaign or the campaigns moderator can answer for sure.

Cheers!
