M1A1 Abrams"Iraq 2003"

[Guest]

Hi I needed a change from what I normally build so I'm going for modern a Abraham's M1A1 .
I've never built anything this modern before and most of it will be out of the box.

Hi Ron was it the one with all the rubble because if it is when I finish mine will have more rubble:tears-of-joy:.
Can you please tell me where it is on the forum so I can look at it.

Paul you are always welcome you never have to ask . I know one thing it's much bigger than the things I normally build the turret alone is bigger than a Toon tank :smiling5: is it nearly has as many wheels as a Tiger:sad:.

Well I've made a start cleaned up all the road wheels, idlers and drive sprockets and assemble them, I even remember to put the poly caps in :smiling4:.

At this rate I'll have it finished by bedtime :tongue-out2:.
Thank you all for looking in.

Pete,
That's why I stopped building tanks to many wheels :tongue-out3:

Nice, quick progress Pete.

My Abrams is on page 6 Completed Dioramas. Here's the link. https/www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/destroyed-abrams-tank-samarra-iraq-2007.30275/ Turns out mine was a Trumpeter kit.... They look all the same to me.

I hope you find the pictures useful when you come to do your own 'Rubbling'!

Now come along Pete, you know Matron won't let you stay up longer than 453 Race!!!!!

Looks o.k. so far, I also built one many years ago - with a mine plow !! The Abrams was the easy part,
mine plow - gave up after the third attempt !!!! :flushed:

Paul.

Cheers Ron if I get my tank is half as good as yours I'll be happy but if I don't you could have it for extra rubble.

Hi Paul 453 is on that ward with 24-hours supervision so I don't think matron will be coming round tonight.
Don't give me ideas me ideas I'm having trouble building the tank alone adding a plough.
