Man just seeing those DS tracks in there make me want to buy this kit.
Much better than The magic tracks they give you in the AIM kit.
that comanders cupola is prety impresive there 2.
I dont know if its just me but it looks like you have used a hell of a lot of glue on the gun barrel tip other than that it looks like a godd clean build so far.

I see you managed to upload pics Alex.
I have the SEP in my stash so I will definatly follow your build. So far I think the "need to be done" picture is the coolest. Keep us posted.

I guess Dragon won't make any money from those Abrams kits.
Sure wish the AIM came with those tracks. Looks good so far.

I'm jeolous... I must have gotten a bad batch of plastic that was sitting somewhere or just bad molding, but I bought two SEPs that had 2 badly warped lower halfs. The first one I sent away to Dragon care, the other the warpage was a little more manageble and easy to fix.

Mine has a badly warped lower hull too, I managed to lose the receipt so DragonCare is not going to help in my case. Good luck in the building.
