Well, been working on my Dragon AIM for a whil now and the kit has really been trying my patience
Took these to get some opinions before I move further into the final stages. I placed the turret with all the stowage on it to add some weight while the tracks are drying in their pattern, and I still have massive amounts of detail work.
Want to let everyone know I am basing this off an Abrams I saw while deployed in Iraq and it had the bustle rack extension and the chevroned "51" on it, but it wasn't "All About Da Bones", though I thought it was at first.

Looks good,but hard to see up close.
maybe a few shots outside would be better.
I have heard the kit can be a bear.
prime portal has some good views of the M1 series.

Is that big red thing a Coke Cooler?
So that is all I can add.
Me I think they need to have more inside storage
Rather have my clothes inside and shovel outside.
Speaking of which do they store the shovel inside those upper sponson boxes?

I mainly agree with what Jeff said. You might try to "compress" the razor wire a bit. The rolls seems a bit out of scale to me. Keep us posted, it looks like a great build so far.

what did u use for the wire?

I bought the Razor Wire from Great Models (Cannot live without that site) and they're from Verlinden and cost about $8.95
That red thing is a toolbox that was included in the the Verlinden M1A1 Stowage Set. The only thing I am lacking from the M1 I saw was that they had a Javelin strapped to the left side of the turret.
I will try to redo the wire, stuff is actually pretty sharp.
