Well you are starting to get the hang of modern armor ! Three small things I see that might need some help
# 1 Hard to tell from the pics - but the tow cables need a little bit of droop to them - they look straight to me a bit of CA glue to pull them down should fix it
# 2 A lot of people miss this ( me included ) there should be a couduit cover running along the side of the blow off plate from part # D 37 to the conduit behind the loader hatch shown here
# 3 This one is your call here : The power supply to the MCD - there is a extension that runs off of the smoke gernade launcher here in this pic

I think this is where the MCD plugs in
Good work on the non slip - are you going with any after market stuff ?

My Brother:

The Abrams is shaping up nicely Lord Lens. Good job on the non slip, and you've managed to get a seamless look on the kit gun tube--(not easy to do in the ring areas).

All your parts are very clean/smoothed out--good solid construction (as usual). What's the paint scheme on this one Dave?

Looks great so far SS. Who's kit is this ? Dragon ? or the new Tamiya ? Will look good once you get some paint on it. Keep sending pics !

Cheers !
