I'm just wondering if there is any company that makes national markings for Australian AFVs? Just found out that Australia got Abrams and thought it would be a cool adition to the collection.
Thankful for help!

G'day Thomas,
Here is one of the first castings I have done for the fridge that fits in the turret basket on the Aussie Abrams. There will also be a bit of stowage to go with it and a few markings.
Cheers Jason Miller

Sorry I just cannot figure out how to add the whole picture.

A fridge on a tank? What is it used for?

G'day Thomas, the armored corps guys got jack of us engineers being the only ones with cold beer so they got fridges for their cars. Check out MOUSE HOUSE for the stencil set for 1 Armored. Most of the generic markings on the Aussie M1A1 AIM are the same as the Yank ones however our cars have different tac markings, arns and the car names are on the side skirts. Try youtube for videos of Aussie M1's. Cheers.

There's also an air conditioning unit in the turret bustle rack

G'day Shaun,
Jobs done mate.
I still have a couple of the stowage items to go and the decals need to be done.
The Dragon SEP kit is to be used as the base, even tho we use the AIM, the SEP kit has the different 2 types of wind sensors, drive sprockets and extended bustle bin ( I have no intention of trying to cast this off). There will also be a part to back date the engine deck to AIM. Ohh and the GPS will also be included.
Cheers Jason
