Here is my DML M1A1 AIM.It is my 2nd 1/35 build,for the most part I enjoyed the kit.DML instructions leave a little to be desired.I also had some trouble with the tiny metal and PE pieces so I had to leave some off,I honestly don't know how you guys deal with those tiny pieces,I also couldn't assmble the smaller PE bustle rack and had to leave it off.But overall I am satisfied with the model and it's look.My camera doesn't show it real good,maybe the lighting is off,but it is rather heavily washed.I didn't use the Magic Tracks I went with AFV Club workable links which are real nice to use.

wow anthony. i think i just peed my self. that is amazing work. i especially LOVE the soda 12 packs. may i ask where u got those? i like ur weathering as well.
awesome work bro,

Real good looking M1. It's hard to tell but did you use a flash? If yes, then try taking pictures without using one. It will make pictures of your models look better. Thanks for sharing your latest gem with us.

try to use a background for taking pictures!

thanks I got them from spruebrothers,but I brlieve there is a thread somewhere on this site where you can print your own.

I agree with the guys here, very nice for your 2nd build.

One little thing you have wrong and it could be because of the instructions like you said. The loaders 7.62 gun is mounted incorrectly. Nothing biggy, but if you can fix it, it needs to be a little bit to the rear. You have it mounted to forward, the mount needs to be directly under the ammo can.

if you liked building this one, you would definately like building the A2 SEP version.

Great job, Anthony. I really like it. I particularly like the subtle weathering and color variations on the side skirts. Keep it up!

As far as photography goes, it might help if you get more light. Really, you can't turn off the flash unless you have sufficient light in the surroundings. Also, a background clears the model's surroundings and keeps the focus on your work, not your workbench.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Very good.

Hello everybody, thanks for the kind words and the good advice Anthony

Well done! Nice flat finish, great weathering.

Hope mine looks half as nice as yours!

This is a build to be proud of. Great job

I have a DML M1A2 SEP in my stash that will be my 5th or 6th build. I can only hope it will come out as good as your build! Great job there -- very nice.

Cheers,
Ian

Nice work Anthony - looking good! Keep building, like the way your tracks came out! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
